Introduction    1.1 Product Introduction    The AWL700 Wireless LAN Router can be used with wireless networking client  devices such as the BenQ AWL100 Wireless LAN PC Card and BenQ AWL300  Wireless LAN USB Adapter for wireless access to an office LAN, or sharing of an  xDSL/cable modem. The AWL700 also integrates a 4-port auto-sensing crossover  Ethernet switch, expanding access to already established wired networks, and allowing  IP sharing without the need for additional device

                          1.2.2 Three ways to acquire WAN’s IP address  There are three ways to acquire AWL700’s WAN IP address. The first one is to assign  its WAN interface as a static valid IP address. Or, the users can acquire AWL700’s  WAN IP address by PPPoE and it does not require the users to install PPPoE client  software in their own hosts. The third one is to obtain DHCP server. Some service  providers offer their clients IP addresses by DHCP protocol, and AWL700 can act as a  DHCP client via its 10/100 base

                            Chapter 3. Configuration    This chapter illustrates the web-based AWL700 configuration in detail. The AWL700  Wireless LAN Router has a structured menu and a “Quick Installation Wizard” page to  help users set up their own AWL700 quickly. This chapter describes each of these menu  sections. When the AWL700 boots up at the first time, it has a default IP address  192.168.1.1 assigned to its LAN interface. In order to configure AWL700, please point  an Internet browser from the browsing host

                            3.1 Quick Installation Wizard    3.1.1 WAN Parameters  AWL700 provides three ways to have an IP address in its WAN interface – Fixed IP,  DHCP Client, and PPPoE. There are three radio boxes in this configuration page and  you can choose the one, which is suitable for your access environment. If you have  applied for a dedicated IP address in your WAN side, you can choose Fixed IP mode  to connect to the Internet. If you has a DHCP server co-existed in your WAN or If  your ISP (NSP) provides

                              Username – When you apply for a PPPoE service from your ISP, they will give you a  set of username and password for the purpose of login. You can fill your username from  your ISP in this input field.  Password – You can fill your password from your ISP in this input field.  Password Confirm – Type your password again, and this will confirm your  password’s value again.  Maximum Idle Time – AWL700 provides a timeout mechanism and this means if  there is no any traffic pass through AWL700 d

The ESSID can have up to  32 characters.  Channel – You may select any of the available channels as an operational channel for  your Access Point.  RTS Threshold – RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden  Node” problem.  “Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range  of the same Access Point, but are not withi

                          Select the TX Rates set among the following options, (1 – 2 - 5.5 - 11 Mbps) or (1 - 2  Mbps).  Preamble Type – Preamble is the first sub field of PPDU, which is the appropriate  frame format for transmission to PHY (Physical layer). There are two options, Short  Preamble and Long Preamble.    3.1.5 Remote Control Parameters  AWL700 provides some remote control features to help user’s remote management  for AWL700.

                            3.2.2 Status  In AWL700, you can search system information in “Status” page. AWL700 divides this  page into two parts, one is for WAN information, and the other is for LAN information.  This information is quite useful for users to see if system is in a right status.          3.2.3 Associated Table  This is a list of all the stations that have ever associated. This table provides information  to track how many stations have ever associated with the Access Point.        3.3 Advanced Setting

                          3.3.1 DNS Setup  In “DNS Setup” page, user can input two DNS servers that AWL700 can use these two  servers to complete its DNS relay function. Please note that the DNS relay is a default  setting in AWL700, however AWL700 will choose ISP’s DNS server to be the first  choice to relay its DNS packets if user use PPPoE or DHCP client to connect to  Internet. These two DNS server are to be the second and third priority to relay DNS  packets by AWL700.      DNS Name Server 1 – First backup DNS ser

                            Default Gateway – Tell hosts where they can deliver their packets if they do not  know how to deal with those packets. In fact, it should be the AWL700 itself.  Netmask – Tell hosts their netmask.  Name Server 1, 2, 3 – AWL700 will offer DNS server to its hosts to help hosts  activate their DNS function. Since AWL700 has DNS relay function, it offers hosts itself  to be a default name server.  DHCP Start IP – You can assign the first IP address of DHCP.  DHCP End IP –You can assign the End I

                          NAT is a mechanism that can convert your private IP addresses into single public IP  address. In AWL700, we do offer dynamic NAT, static NAT, and NAPT functions.  Dynamic NAT means that you can assign a range of private IP addresses to map to a  range of public IP addresses in the WAN interface. When one public IP address is  mapped to one host, this public IP address could not be assigned to the others. Static  NAT means you can set up a private IP address and public IP address to be a pair.
