6.8 L2TP
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to
support virtual private network. L2TP is original from Cisicos Layer
2 Forwarding (L2F) and Microsofts Point-toPoint Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP). L2TP provides additional security features other than PPTP. L2TP
acts as data link layer protocaol for tunneling network traffic between
clients and VPN server over an Internet. It builds up Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) sessions within an L2TP tunnel.

BLW-HPMM-U

MTUMTU means Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest


physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. The
default value is 1452. Please set up the MTU according to your system
environment. Only enter a new MTU when your ISP requires, otherwise,
please leave it as the default setting. When using PPPoE connection, you
may need to change MTU settings to maintain the connection with your
ISP, however, if the incorrect value was entered, you may be unable to
access certain websites. Reducing the packet size can help connecting to
certain websites or speeding up the transmission rate.
Dial-On-Demand/Silent TimeoutYou may disconnect the connection
when there is no activity for a period of time and set the Silent Timeout
in the next field. Silent Timeout means a period of idle time before you
go offline. Enter a maximum period of time (seconds) to define the
maximum idle time. If the silent time is above the defined maximum idle
time, it will go offline immediately. You can set the value to be 0 or Auto
Reconnect to disable this function.
Auto Reconnect/Dial StatusIf you choose Auto Reconnect, BLWHPMM-U Wireless Router will automatically reconnect to your ISP
when you restart the system or the connection is stopped. To enable
Auto Reconnectyou must setSilent Timeoutto be 0 or leave the
field blank; otherwise there might be a warning message.
Auth TypeBLW-HPMM-U supports WPA encryption. You may
choose PAP or CHAP authentication to enhance the security of data
transmission.
PAP Short for Password Authentication Protocol, the most basic
form of authentication, in which a user's name and password are
transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name-password
pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The
Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP.
The main weakness of PAP is that both the username and password
are transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.

51
Chapter 2 Setup & Configuration

CHAP Short for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol,


a type of authentication in which the authentication agent (typically
a network server) sends the client program a random value that is
used only once and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a
predefined secret.

3.3 WMM

BLW-HPMM-U supports WMM(Wi-Fi Multimedia) function. WMM


is short for Wi-Fi Multimedia. It is a standard created to define quality
of service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks. It is a precursor to the upcoming
IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard, which is meant to improve
audio, video and voice applications transmitted over Wi-Fi. WMM adds
prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their performance
when multiple concurring applications, each with different latency and
throughput requirements, compete for network resources.
APSD is short for Automatic Power Save Delivery. Under this mode the
device can save power.
DLS wireless network service only guarantee the minimum connection
speed is no less than 256kbps. The maximum connection spend might be
affected by several factors, for example, signal strength, numbers of users
on the network, equipment types and so on.
Click the check box and then clickApplybutton to apply this function
to the system.
There are four types of power saving mode, including AC_BK(Access
Category Background)AC_BE(Access Category Best Effort)
AC_VI(Access Category Video)AC_VO(Access Category Voice). This
function can provide different services priorities for different access types.
However, this service function can not guarantee the service quality for
specific kinds of access types.

3.4 Security
In this page, you can configure the security of your wireless network.
Selecting different method can make different levels of security. However,
no matter what kind of authentication or encryption you use to prevent data
packets from being eavesdropped by people without authentication, it may
cause decrease of the data throughput of the wireless connection.
Authentication
There are ten kinds of authentication of BLW-HPMM-U Wireless Router:
Open System or Shared Key, Open System, Open System with 802.1x,
Shared Key, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2PSK, WPA/WPA2,
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK. After selecting the authentication mode, it has to
cooperate with the encryption type. The settings of authentication on the
destination network must be the same with BLW-HPMM-U.
Open System If enabling this mode, there is no need authentication to
access AP or wireless NIC.
81
Chapter 3 Advanced Setup & Configuration

Shared Key Only those who are sharing the same key with the AP can
connect with it.
WPA is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It was designed to improve
upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work
with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. Through
the data encryption, access control and authentication, it provides better
protection over data transmission. WPA uses 128-digit keys to ensure the
wireless network privacy and security.
WPA2 is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It is the follow on
security method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data
protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer
Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can
access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2Personal, and WPA2- Enterprise. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized
network access by utilizing a set-up password. WPA2-Enterprise verifies
network users through a server. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA.
WPA-PSK is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key. WPAPSK uses the same encryption way with WPA, and the only difference
between them is that WPA-PSK recreates a simple shared key, instead of
using the users certification.
Encryption
WEP WEP is short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol
for WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide
the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide
security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it
transmitted from one end point to another. There are two kinds of WEP
encryption: 64 bit and 128 bit. 64 bit needs 10 hex characters to be the key
and 128 bit needs 26 hex characters.
TKIP is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles
the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking
feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered with.

82
BLW-HPMM-U

AES is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a symmetric


128-bit block data encryption technique. It has a fixed block size of
128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
Pass Phrase Pass Phrase also named Shared Secret which is used
only when enabling WPA-PSK authentication. A passphrase is a string
of characters longer than the usual password (which is typically from
four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an
encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a
message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable
only when you select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter
an 8~63 characters password to start the encryption process, which will
generate four WEP keys automatically.
RADIUS is short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service,
an authentication and accounting system used by many Internet Service
Providers (ISPs). RADIUS setup is used to set up additional parameters for
authorizing wireless clients through RADIUS server. The RADIUS setup
is required when you select to use Open System with 802.1x or WPA
authentication.
