Access Control:
Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or
not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all
outgoing traffic.
WDS:
If the signal strength of a single wireless base station is not sufficient due
to a large coverage area or attenuation due to walls, with WDS the
range of a wireless base station can be extended.
All base stations in a Wireless Distribution System must be configured
with the same radio channel, and encryption type (WEP/WPA) if that is
used.
Note
The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards.
Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that WDS will work with products
of different vendors.
WEP:
If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the
same parameters for the ADSL Wireless Base Station and all your
wireless clients.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the
keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the
Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from
the drop down menu. Click "SAVE SETTINGS".
Note
The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs
of digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key.
(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F).
Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but
does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over
the Internet.
WPA:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity
protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key
encryption and 802.1x authentication service.
802.1x:
If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function
for the ADSL Wireless Base Station. These parameters are used for the
ADSL Wireless Base Station to connect to the authentication server.
