Appendix 1 Glossary

Channel:

An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.

SSID:

SSID(Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.

WEP:

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are

68

NS-WIR150NE_OEM_user_manual_v1.1 the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a

16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for

128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use different method for key generation, it might not work for different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.

WPA/WPA2 Encryption:

A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.

Appendix 2 Questions and Answers

In this part some questions and problems shown during the Router’s usage and installation will be given suggesting answers. If your problems are not in the list, please log into our website www.asiarf.com or send an

E-mail to [email protected], and we will reply you in the first time.

1. Cannot login to the Web interface of the Router after you enter the IP address in the address field?

Step 1: check the Router if it works well. Once the device is powered on for a few seconds, the SYS indicator on the panel will be turned on. If it is not, please contact us.

Step 2: check the network cables if it is good and the corresponding indicator is “Always ON”. Sometimes, the indicator is “Always ON”, but it does not mean it gets through.

Run “Ping” command and check if it can ping the

Router’s LAN IP address 192.168.1.1. If it is OK, please make sure your browser does not access the Internet by proxy server. If the ping fails, you can press the “RESET”

70

NS-WIR150NE_OEM_user_manual_v1.1 button for 7 seconds to restore to default settings. And then repeat the ping operation. If it still does not work, please contact us.

2. Forget the login password and cannot enter the setting page. What can I do?

Press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore the

Router to default settings.

3. The computer connected with the Router shows IP address conflict. What can I do?

Check if there are other DHCP servers in the LAN. If there have, disable them. The default IP address of the

Router is 192.168.1.1 and please maker sure the address is not occupied by other devices. If there are two computers with the same IP addresses, please modify one.

4. I cannot use E-mail and access the Internet. What can I do?

It happens in ADSL connection and Dynamic IP users.

And you need modify the default MTU value (1492).

Please in the “WAN Setting” modify the MTU value with

71

NS-WIR150NE_OEM_user_manual_v1.1 the recommended value as 1450 or 1400.

5. How can I configure and access the Internet via

Dynamic IP?

In Setup Wizard of the Web utility interface, select

“Dynamic IP” connection type and click “Save” to activate it. As some ISPs bind the user computer’s MAC address, you need to clone the Router’s WAN MAC address to the bind21ing PC’s MAC address. Select
