WAN
Wide Area Network refers to the configurations you perform to establish an Internet
connection. There are several types of WAN connections that require different settings.

New Connection
Your router supports the creation of new connections. If you have multiple virtual
connections, you may need to utilize the static routing capabilities of the modem to pass
data correctly.

WAN connection types include:

PPPoE Connection

PPPoA Connection

Static Connection

DHCP Connection

Bridge Connection

Page 28 of 93
 User Manual

PPPoE Connection
PPPoE is a common WAN connection type used to connect to the Internet. PPP, or point-
to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between
network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and
is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over
a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator. With this model, each
router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service control can all
be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.

New PPPoE Connection Setup

Page 29 of 93
User Manual

PPPoA Connection
Another commonly used WAN connection type is PPPoA. PPPoA is also known as RFC
2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM cells that are carried over the
DSL line. PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network
connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of
authenticating users. Logical Link Control (LLC) and Virtual Circuit (VC) are two different
methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your service provider to determine
which encapsulation is being used on your Internet connection.

New PPPoA Connection Setup

Page 30 of 93
 User Manual

Static Connection
Static connection type is used whenever a known static IP address is assigned to the
router. Additional addressing information such as the Subnet Mask and the Default
Gateway must also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can
be identified. These servers resolve the name of the computer to the IP address mapped
to it and thus enable you to access other web servers by typing the symbolic name (host
name).

New Static Connection Setup

Page 31 of 93
User Manual

DHCP Connection
DHCP allows the router to automatically obtain the IP address from the server. This option
is commonly used when the IP is dynamically assigned and is not known prior to
assignment.

New DHCP Connection Setup

Page 32 of 93
 User Manual

Bridge Connection
A bridge connection does not assign any IP address to the WAN interface. NAT and
firewall rules are not enabled. This connection method makes the router act as a bridge
for passing packets between the WAN interface and the LAN interface.

ADSL Modulation
ADSL Modulation allows you to select any combination of DSL training modes. Leave the
default value if you are unsure or the service provider did not provide this information. In
most cases, this screen should not be modified.

ADSL Modulation

Connection Scan
This feature helps users to detect the PVC settings provided by the service provider.
Before the router can begin scanning the connection, the telephone line has to be

LAN
The router is preconfigured to automatically provide an IP address to each Ethernet
device connected in the local area network (LAN). However, if you are familiar with your
network setup, you can manually configure the LAN settings.

LAN Configuration
Your router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0,
respectively. This subnet mask allows the router to support 254 users. If you want to
support more users, you need to edit the subnet mask but remember that the DHCP
server function can only provide up to 255 IP addresses. If you change your gateways’ IP
address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the
same subnet. The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is
not addressed to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the
default gateway Address.

LAN Configuration

Page 36 of 93
 User Manual

To configure the LAN groupings:

1. From the Advanced Menu, select LAN > LAN Configuration.

2. Select ETHERNET in LAN group 1 and then click < Remove. No packets will be sent
to the ETHERNET interface because it does not belong to any LAN group.

3. Select ETHERNET from Interfaces and then click Add > under LAN group 2. Just like
in LAN group 1, Configure will appear in LAN group 2 to allow the definition of
additional configurations.

4. To temporarily activate the settings, click Submit.

5. To make changes permanent, click Save Settings.

LAN Group Configuration

LAN Group Configuration allows you to configure settings for each LAN group. Notice that
you can also view the status of advanced services that can be applied to a LAN group.
Green indicates that the service is enabled, while red indicates that the service is
disabled.

LAN Group Configuration

Category Field Description

Unmanaged Unmanaged is a state when the LAN group is not

configured and no IP address has been assigned to the
bridge.

Obtain an IP address When this function is enabled, your router acts like a
automatically client and requests an IP address from the DHCP server
on the LAN side.

IP Address You can retrieve/renew an IP address from the DHCP

server using the Release and Renew buttons.

Netmask The subnet mask of your router.

PPP IP Address Enables/disables PPP unnumbered feature.

IP Address The IP address should be different but within the same

subnet as the WAN-side IP address.

Use the following Static IP This field enables you to change the IP address of the

Page 38 of 93
 User Manual

address router.

IP Address The default IP address of the router (as shown) is

192.168.1.1.

Netmask The default subnet mask of your router is 255.255.255.0.

This subnet allows the router to support 254 users. If you
want to support a larger number of users you can
change the subnet mask.

Default Gateway The default gateway is the routing device used to

forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station
within the local subnet. Your ISP provides you with the
IP address of the default gateway.

Host Name The host name is used in conjunction with the domain
name to uniquely identify the router. It can be any
alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.

Domain The domain name is used in conjunction with the host

name to uniquely identify the router. To access the web
pages of the router you can type 192.168.1.1 (the IP
address) or mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain).

Enable DHCP Server Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your router has the
DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a
DHCP server running on your network, you must disable
one of the two DHCP servers.

Assign ISP DNS, Enable/disables the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature when
SNTP the DHCP server of your router has been enabled. To
learn more, please refer to Assign ISP DNS, SNTP.

Start IP The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts

issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the
IP address value of the router. For example, if the IP
address of the router is 192.168.1.1 (default), then the
starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).

End IP The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops

issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed
a subnet limit of 254; hence the max value for the
default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server
runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to
network resources. If this happens, you can increase the
Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or reduce the
lease time.

Lease Time The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network
user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the

Page 39 of 93
User Manual

router using the current dynamic IP address. At the end

of the Lease Time, the lease is either renewed or the
DHCP server issues a new IP. The amount of time is in
units of seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1
hour). The maximum value is 999999 seconds
(About 278 hours).

Enable DHCP Relay In addition to the DHCP server feature, the router
supports the DHCP relay function. When the router is
configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to
the LAN clients. When the gateway is configured as
DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests
and responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and
the server.

Relay IP The IP address of the DHCP relay server.

Server and Relay Off When the DHCP server and relay functions are turned
off, the network administrator must carefully configure
the IP address, Subnet Mask, and DNS settings of every
host on your network. Do not assign the same IP address
to more than one host. Also, your router must reside on
the same subnet as all the other hosts.

Assign ISP DNS, SNTP

When you enable the DHCP server, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses to
computers in the local network. The router provides its own LAN IP address (192.168.1.1)
as both the gateway and the DNS server.

The router has a choice of advertising its own IP address (192.168.1.1) as the DNS server
or providing the DNS that was received from the WAN. This can be configured by
enabling/disabling Assign ISP DNS SNTP on the LAN Group Configuration page.

Note: ISP DNS, SNTP only applies when the DHCP server is enabled on the LAN Group
Configuration page.

Page 40 of 93
 User Manual

LAN Clients
LAN Clients allows you to view and add computers in a LAN group. Each computer either
has a dynamic or static (manually-configured) IP address.

You can add a static IP address (belonging to the router’s LAN subnet) using the LAN
Clients page. Any existing static entry falling within the DHCP server's range can be
deleted.

IGMP Proxy
IP hosts use Internet group management protocol (IGMP) to report their multicast group
memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast routers use IGMP to discover
which of their hosts belong to multicast groups. Your router supports IGMP proxy that
handles IGMP messages. When enabled, your router acts as a proxy for a LAN host
making requests to join and leave multicast groups, or a multicast router sending
multicast packets to multicast groups on the WAN side.

IGMP Proxy

Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagram’s to all hosts
that belong to what is called a Host Group. A host group is a set of one or more hosts
identified by a single IP destination address. The following statements apply to host
groups:

Anyone can join or leave a host group at will.

There are no restrictions on a host’s location.

There are no restrictions on the number of members that may belong to a host
group.

A host may belong to multiple host groups.

Non-group members may send UDP datagram’s to the host group.

Page 45 of 93
User Manual

Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one device. For
instance, if one device is responsible for acquiring data that many other devices need,
then multicasting is a natural fit. Note that using multicasting as opposed to sending the
same data to individual devices uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also
enables you to receive multicast video streams from multicast servers.

The IGMP Proxy page allows you to enable multicast on available WAN and LAN
connections. You can configure the WAN or LAN interface as one of the following:

Upstream The interface that IGMP requests from hosts are sent to the multicast
router.

Downstream The interface data from the multicast router are sent to hosts in the
multicast group database.

Ignore No IGMP request nor data multicast are forwarded.

You can perform one of the two options:

1. Configure one or more WAN interface as the upstream interface.

2. Configure one or more LAN interface as the upstream interface.

To configure the IGMP Proxy:

1. From the Advanced Menu, select Application > IGMP Proxy.

2. Check Enable IGMP Proxy.

3. Configure the listed interfaces.

4. Click Submit to temporarily apply the settings.

5. To make changes permanent, click Save Settings.

From the moment the account is enabled the user is expected to log in within 20
minutes, otherwise the account expires. Once the user has logged in, if the session
remains inactive for more than 20 minutes, the user will be logged out and the account
expires.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Quality of service allows network administrators to configure the routers to meet the real
time requirements for voice and video.

Different networks use different QoS markings like:

ToS network: ToS bits in the IP header

VLAN network: priority bits in the VLAN header

DSCP network: uses only 5 bits of the CoS

WLAN: WLAN QoS header.

The QoS framework is supported on all the above domains. How do you make them talk
to each other? How can you make sure the priority from one network is carried over to
another network? Class of service (CoS) is introduced as the common language for the
QoS mappings. When QoS is enabled, the router has full control over packets from the
time they enter the router till they leave the router.

This is how it works: The domain mapping (ToS bits, priority bits, etc.) of a packet needs
to be translated to CoS when the packet enters the router, and vice versa, the CoS of a
packet needs to be translated back to the domain mapping when the packet leaves the
router.

There are 6 types of CoS (in descending priority):

CoS1

CoS2

CoS3

CoS4

CoS5

CoS6

Page 55 of 93
User Manual

The rules are:

1. CoS1 has absolute priority and is used for expedited forwarding (EF) traffic. This is
always serviced till completion.

2. CoS2-CoS5 is used for assured forwarding (AF) classes. They are serviced in a strict
round robin manner using the following priority scheme:

CoS2 > CoS3 > CoS4 > CoS5

3. CoS6 is for best effort (BE) traffic. This is only serviced when there is no other class
of service. If QoS is not enabled on your router, all traffic will be treated as best
effort.

There are some additional terms you should get familiarize with:

Ingress: Packets arriving into the router from a WAN/LAN interface.

Egress: Packets sent from the router to a WAN/LAN interface.

Trusted mode: Honors the domain mapping (ToS byte, WME, WLAN user priority).

Untrusted mode: Does not honor domain mapping. This is the default QoS setting.

Traffic Conditioning Agreement (TCA): The TCA needs to be defined for each
interface:

o Ingress mappings (Domain =>CoS)

o Egress Mappings (CoS => Domain)

o Untrusted mode (default)

Shaper

Page 56 of 93
 User Manual

Egress
For packets going out of the router, the markings (CoS) need to be translated to the
mappings understood by the network domains. The reverse CoS and domain mapping is
configured using the Egress. To access Egress, select QoS > Egress from the Advanced
Menu. There are three Egress modes:

No Egress mode

Layer 2

Layer 3

No Egress Mode
The default Egress page setting for all interfaces is No Egress. In this mode, the domain
mapping of the packets are untouched.

Egress

Page 57 of 93
User Manual

Layer 2
The Egress Layer 2 page allows you to map the CoS of an outgoing packet to user priority
bits, which is honored by the VLAN network. Again, this feature is only configurable on
the WAN interfaces as VLAN is only supported on the WAN side in the current release.

Layer 2

Field Description

Interface Select the WAN interface to configure the QoS for outgoing packets; LAN interface
cannot be selected as VLAN is currently supported on the WAN side only.

Unclassified Some locally generated packets might not have been classified and thus do not have
Packet a CoS value, such as PPP control packet and ARP packet. You can define the CoS for
all unclassified outgoing packets on layer 2 using this field, which will then pick up
the user priority bits based on the mapping rules you create. The selections are (in
the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4, CoS5, and CoS6. The
default value is CoS1 (recommended).

Class of Service The selections are (in the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4, CoS5,
and CoS6.

User Priority The selections are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Page 58 of 93

Layer 3
Egress Layer 3 enables you to map CoS to ToS so that the priority marking of outgoing
packets can be carried over to the IP network.

Layer 3

Field Description

Interface Select the WAN interface to configure the QoS for outgoing packets; LAN interface
cannot be selected as VLAN is currently supported on the WAN side only.

Default Non-IP Locally generated packets (such as ARP packets) do not have a CoS marking. You can
define the CoS for all unclassified outgoing packets on layer 3 using this field. The
selections are in the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4, CoS5, and
CoS6. The default value is CoS1 (recommended).

Class of Service The selections are (in the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4, CoS5,

QoS Shaper Configuration

The Shaper Configuration page is accessed by selecting Shaper on the Advanced main
page. Three shaper algorithms are supported:

HTB

Low Latency Queue Discipline

PRIOWRR

QoS Shaper Configuration

Note: Egress TCA is required if shaper is configured for that interface.

Field Description

Interface The selections are WAN/LAN interfaces except WLAN, which does not support Shaper
feature. This field needs to be selected before shaper configuration.

Max Rate This field is applicable for the HTB Queue Discipline and Low Latency Queue
Discipline, both are rate-based shaping algorithms.

HTB Queue The hierarchical token bucket queue discipline is a rate-based shaping algorithm. This
Discipline algorithm rate shapes the traffic of a class over a specific interface. All CoSx traffic
uses a specific rate to which data will be shaped. For example: If CoS1 is configured
to 100Kbps then even if 300Kbps of CoS1 data is being transmitted to the interface
only 100Kbps will be sent out.

Low Latency This is similar to the above algorithm except that CoS1 is not rate limited. So in the
Queue Discipline example above CoS1 data is not rate limited to 100Kbps but instead all 300Kbps is

Page 64 of 93
 User Manual

transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all
bandwidth.

PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6. CoS1
queues have the highest priority and are not controlled by the WRR algorithm.

Of the three shaping algorithms available on the Shaper Configuration page, only one can
be enabled at a time. An example of each configuration is given as follows.

Example 1: HTB Queue Discipline Enabled

In the example below, HTB Queue Discipline is enabled. The PPPoE1 connection has a
total of 300 Kbps of bandwidth, of which 100 Kbps is given to CoS1 and another 100 Kbps
is given to CoS2. When there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packet, CoS6 packets have the whole
300 Kbps of bandwidth.

HTB Queue Discipline enabled

Page 65 of 93
User Manual

Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled

In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate
controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 Kbps when there are no CoS1
packets. CoS6 has 300 Kbps when there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets. This is similar to the
HTB queue discipline as they are both rate-based algorithm, except that CoS1 is handled
differently.

Low Latency Queue Discipline enabled

Page 66 of 93
 User Manual

Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled

In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number
of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can
be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not
displayed). When there are no CoS1 packets, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4 each has 10 percent, and
CoS6 has 70 percent. This is similarly to the Low Latency Queue discipline, except that
one is packet-based, and the other is rate-based.

Routing Table

Static Routing
If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static
route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information
must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow
different IP domain users to access the Internet through the router.

Static Routing

The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you
want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to
create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the
first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet
Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion
is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The
Gateway IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for
contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host.
