Find out the following values from your ISP before you change them.  
VPI: Virtual Path Identifier. The valid range is 0 to 255.  
VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier. The valid range is 32 to 65535.  
Service Category: Five classes of traffic are listed:  
o
UBR Without PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate without Peak Cell Rate)—  
UBR service is suitable for applications that can tolerate variable delays  
and some cell losses. Applications suitable for UBR service include  
text/data/image transfer, messaging, distribution, and retrieval and also  
for remote terminal applications such as telecommuting.  
o
o
UBR With PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate)  
CBR (Constant Bit Rate)— Used by applications that require a fixed data  
rate that is continuously available during the connection time. It is  
commonly used for uncompressed audio and video information such as  
videoconferencing, interactive audio (telephony), audio / video  
distribution (e.g. television, distance learning, and pay-per-view), and  
audio / video retrieval (e.g. video-on-demand and audio library).  
o
o
Non Realtime VBR (Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate)— Can be used  
for data transfers that have critical response-time requirements such as  
airline reservations, banking transactions, and process monitoring.  
Realtime VBR (Real-time Variable Bit Rate)— Used by time-sensitive  
applications such as real-time video. Rt-VBR service allows the network  
more flexibility than CBR.  
To enable the Quality of Service function, it must be enabled on the previous screen  
in order for the traffic classification rule that you specify (later in the Quality of  
Service Screen under Advanced Setup) to be activated. Once a PVC is setup with  
QoS, two more PVC queues will be used up for this function meaning 3 PVC queues  
will be used. Note there is a total of 8 PVC queues available for this unit.

The next screen is the Wireless – Security screen, which allows you to select the  
network authentication method and to enable or disable WEP encryption. Note that  
depending on the network authentication that is selected, the screen will change  
accordingly so that additional fields can be configured for the specific authentication  
method.  
Network authentication methods include the following:  
Open— Anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP  
encryption setting.  
Shared— WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of 64-bit  
or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on Set Encryption Keys to manually  
set the network encryption keys. Up to 4 different keys can be set and you  
can come back to select which one to use at anytime.  
802.1X— Requires mutual authentication between a client station and the  
router by including a RADIUS-based authentication server. Information  
about the RADIUS server such as its IP address, port and key must be  
entered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption strength must  
also be selected.  
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)— Usually used for the larger enterprise  
environment, WPA uses a RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key  
Integrity Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption, which is

disabled). TKIP uses 128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and  
per packet keys).  
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key)—WPA for home  
and SOHO environments, also using the same strong TKIP encryption, per-  
packet key construction, and key management that WPA provides in the  
enterprise environment. The main difference is that the password is entered  
manually. A group re-key interval time is also required.  
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)— Second generation of WPA, which  
uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its encryption  
method. Network re-auth interval is the time in which another key needs to be  
dynamically issued.  
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)— Suitable for  
home and SOHO environments, it also uses AES encryption and requires you  
to enter a password and a re-key interval time.  
Mixed WPA2 / WPA— During transitional times for upgrades in the  
enterprise environment, this mixed authentication method allows upgraded  
users and users not yet upgraded to access the network via the router.  
RADIUS server information must be entered for WPA and a as well as a  
group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.  
Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK—useful during transitional times for upgrades in  
the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along  
with the group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.

Advanced  
Advanced features of the wireless LAN interface can be configured in this section.  
Settings can be configured for the following:  
AP Isolation— If you select enable, then each of your wireless clients will  
not be able to communicate with each other.  
Band— A default setting at 2.4GHz – 802.11g  
Channel— 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interference from  
other devices. If you are experiencing interference with another 2.4Ghz  
device such as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change  
the channel on your router.  
Auto Channel Timer—this value cannot be changed.

54gRate—data rate speed up to 54 MBps which results in faster wireless  
network access and file transfer. 54g also provides a strong wireless  
connection as well as quick and safe delivery to its destination.  
Multicast Rate— The rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of  
recipients.  
Basic Rate— The set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable  
of using to receive frames from a wireless medium.  
Fragmentation Threshold— Used to fragment packets which help improve  
performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference.  
RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)— Determines the packet size  
of a transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.  
DTIM Interval— Sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving  
mode.  
Beacon Interval— A packet of information that is sent from a connected  
device to all other devices where it announces its availability and readiness.  
A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon) before sending  
the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds (ms).  
Maximum Associated Clients—the maximum number of users that can  
access your router via wireless connection.  
Xpress Technology— A technology that utilizes standards based on  
framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With Xpress Technology  
enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput speeds  
of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g only  
networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and  
802.11b equipment.  
54g Mode— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology.

54g Auto: is used for compatibility with 802.11b/g.  
54g Performance: improves the performance, but only works with  
clients that support 54g wireless mode.  
o
54g LRS: In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be  
compatible with 54g wireless. 54g-LRS (Limited Rate Support)  
allows these clients to be compatible with the newer 54g technology.  
Switching to this mode can solve problems that sometimes occur  
with these clients. If there is no driver update available for these  
clients, switching to 54g-LRS mode may fix the problem. Please  
note that switching to 54g-LRS mode may decrease 54g  
performance. It is not recommended to use this mode unless there is a  
very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique  
problems that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is  
NOT necessary for interoperability of 54g and 802.11b standards.  
54g Protection— The 802.11g standards provide a protection method so  
802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network. Do not  
disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b device may need  
to use your wireless network. In Auto Mode, the wireless device will use  
RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance

is used for "almost completed" dialing to wait for more digits. Essentially,  
CDT is the time that the device waits after the digits are dialed before it dials  
the numbers.

Do Not Disturb— This call-filtering feature prevents incoming calls from  
coming through. Callers will hear a busy signal when you have the Do Not  
Disturb featured enabled.  
Answer Only— This call-filtering feature disables the ability to make  
outgoing calls. You can only accept incoming calls after you turn on this  
feature.

dialing. When enabled, dial the “*” to terminate the dialing and then IP  
dialing will be disabled.  
Prefix for Switch VOIP to PSTN— One of the ways that a phone number

PSTN Route Rule— For incoming calls using PSTN, this is the line (line 1  
or line 2) that the call is received through. You can select auto so that it  
automatically selects an open line.  
Route PSTN to VoIP— For incoming PSTN calls you can select whether or  
not you want to route the call to use VoIP.  
Route VoIP to PSTN— For incoming VoIP calls you can select whether or  
not you want to route the call to a PSTN line and which VoIP line you want  
to be able to route to the PSTN line.  
Note: There are 2 VoIP lines and only 1 PSTN line, therefore only one  
of the VoIP lines can have the option of being routed to a PSTN line. The  
options here are to select which VoIP line (line 1 or 2) will have the service  
of being routed to a PSTN line.  
Locale Selection— The location of the router.  
Remote Server for SIP Log Messages— If you enable the remote server,  
then fill out the following two fields: Log IP Address and Log Port.

Phone1 and/or Phone2 will generate or receive calls to the PSTN via the Line port on  
this unit. The user can then select the desired Prefix for switching from PSTN to  
VoIP network on a per outgoing call basis.  
Dial Plan  
The dial plan allows you to create rules for processing the numbers you dial.  
Prefix— The prefix numbers that determine the type of call when you dial a  
string of numbers. This must be at least 1 digit.

Min. Accept Digits— The minimum number of digits that must be dialed to  
be accepted as a correct number. This includes the prefix.  
Max. Accept Digits— The maximum number of digits that can be dialed to  
be a valid phone number. This includes the prefix.  
Delete Digits— The number of digits at the beginning of the dialed number  
that will be taken off. For example, if you dial the number 88-0930-123-456  
and have a rule with prefix 88 and set the number of digits to be deleted as 2,  
then it will dial the number without the 88 prefix at the beginning and insert  
the 2 in its place.  
Insert Digits— The digits that will be inserted at the beginning of the dial-  
string after the specified digits are first deleted.  
Type— There are 3 types of dial plans: PSTN, VoIP, and block. You can  
create dial plans for PSTN and VoIP numbers in addition to dial plans that  
you want to block. For example, if you want to block a phone number with a  
certain prefix, you need only to enter the prefix and the Min. and Max.  
Accept Digits and select Block under the Type column.  
Phonebook  
The phonebook allows you to filter calls from specified IP addresses. Enter the IP  
addresses in the Call ID field and then decide whether you want to allow or deny  
those enabled callers. You can also organize the calls by ring group (default, family,  
friend, and colleague).
