 Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI)
using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and later).

3.1 Default Settings

The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.

 LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1

 LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
 Administrative access (username: root, password: 12345)
 User access (username: user, password: user)
 Remote (WAN) access (username: support, password: support)
 WLAN access: enabled

Technical Note

During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then
read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.
The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values
are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via
the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols.
The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button
for more than ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the
Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

 3.2 IP Configuration
DHCP MODE

When the WR-6895 powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically,
the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC.

To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.

NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However,
the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
Check your OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You
may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection
icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Select Obtain an IP address automatically as shown below.

STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.

If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.

Click Apply/Save to implement new configuration settings.

WIRELESS SECURITY

Setup requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface
(see the table below).

Select SSID
Select the wireless network name from the drop-down menu. SSID stands for
Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to
access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.

Network Authentication
This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the
wireless network. If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication
is provided. Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.

Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X
authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP
Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.

51

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 The settings for WPA2-PSK authentication are shown next.

WEP Encryption
This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same
network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network
keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current
Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.

Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired
equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to
protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this
case, the capture of wireless network traffic.
When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated and
used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus
avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.

Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received
a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11
wireless network communications channel.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Encryption Strength
This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key
strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key. This
means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and
are considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either
64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal numbers. Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector)
which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.

Auto Detection notice

Note: The following description concerning ETHWAN is for multiple LAN port devices
only.

1) This feature will automatically detect one WAN service only. If customers require
multiple WAN services, manual configuration is required.
2) If a physical ETHWAN port is detected, the Auto Detection for ETHWAN will be
fixed on the physical ETHWAN port and cannot be configured for any LAN port;
if the physical ETHWAN port is not detected, the Auto Detection for ETHWAN will
be configured to the 4th LAN port by default and allows it to be configured for any
LAN port as well.
3) For cases in which both the DSL port and ETHWAN port are plugged in at the
same time, the DSL WAN will have priority over ETHWAN. For example, the
ETHWAN port is plugged in with a WAN service detected automatically and then
the DSL port is plugged in and linked up. The Auto Detection feature will clear
the WAN service for ETHWAN and re-detect the WAN service for DSL port.
4) If none of the pre-configured services are detected, a Bridge service will be
created.

 Automatically Add Clients With Following DHCP Vendor IDs:

Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces to PVC's using DHCP vendor ID
(option 60). The local DHCP server will decline and send the requests to a remote
DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when
Interface Grouping is enabled.

For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is
for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are
ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4.

The Interface Grouping configuration will be:

1. Default: ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4.

89

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, and nas_0_38. The DHCP vendor ID is "Video".

If the onboard DHCP server is running on "Default" and the remote DHCP server is
running on PVC 0/36 (i.e. for set-top box use only). LAN side clients can get IP
addresses from the CPE's DHCP server and access the Internet via PPPoE (0/33).

If a set-top box is connected to ETH1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID
"Video", the local DHCP server will forward this request to the remote DHCP server.
The Interface Grouping configuration will automatically change to the following:

1. Default: ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4

2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, nas_0_38, and ETH1.

The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown
here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.

Please see 6.11.3 for WPS setup instructions.

Click Apply/Save to implement new configuration settings.

WIRELESS SECURITY

Setup requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface
(see the table below).

Select SSID
Select the wireless network name from the drop-down menu. SSID stands for
Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to
access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.

Network Authentication
This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the wireless
network. If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication is
provided. Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.

Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X
authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP
Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.

Different authentication type pops up different settings requests.

101

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Choosing 802.1X, enter RADIUS Server IP address, RADIUS Port, RADIUS key and
Current Network Key.

Also, enable WEP Encryption and select Encryption Strength.

Select the Current Network Key and enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
digits for 128-bit encryption keys and enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
digits for 64-bit encryption keys.

Choosing WPA2-PSK, you must enter WPA Pre-Shared Key and Group Rekey
Interval.

WEP Encryption
This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same
network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network
keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current
Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.

102

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired
equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to
protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this
case, the capture of wireless network traffic.
When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated and
used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus
avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.

Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received
a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11
wireless network communications channel.
Encryption Strength
This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key
strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key. This
means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and
are considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either
64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal numbers. Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector)
which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.

 6.11.3 WPS 2.4GHz

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard that simplifies wireless security
setup for certified network devices. Every WPS certified device has both a PIN
number and a push button, located on the device or accessed through device
software. The WR-6895 has a WPS button on the device.

Devices with the WPS logo (shown here)

support WPS. If the WPS logo is not present
on your device it still may support WPS, in
this case, check the device documentation
for the phrase “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”.

NOTE: WPS is only available in Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and Mixed

WPA2/WPA-PSK network authentication modes. Other authentication
modes do not use WPS so they must be configured manually.

To configure security settings with WPS, follow the procedures below.

I. Setup

Step 1: Enable WPS by selecting Enabled from the drop down list box shown.

Step 2: Set the WPS AP Mode. Configured is used when the WR-6895 will assign
security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external
client assigns security settings to the WR-6895.

NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to
the WR-6895. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to
Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.

IIa. PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION

The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration

method. The WPS button on the front panel of the router can be used for this
purpose.

The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below.

104

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured
as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your WLAN. In addition, the wireless client
must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.

NOTE: The wireless AP on the router searches for 2 minutes. If the router stops
searching before you complete Step 4, return to Step 3.

Step 3: Press WPS button

Press the WPS button on the front panel of the router. The WPS LED will
blink to show that the router has begun searching for the client.

Step 4: Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function.
A typical WPS client screenshot is shown below as an example.

Now go to Step 7 (part III. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection.

IIb. WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION

Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification
number (PIN). The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software.
The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case. To obtain a PIN number for
your client, check the device documentation for specific instructions.

The WPS PIN configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that
the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless
Access Point (AP) of your wireless LAN. In addition, the wireless client must also be
configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.

Step 5: Select the PIN radio button in the WSC Setup section of the Wireless
Security screen, as shown in A or B below, and then click the appropriate
button based on the WSC AP mode selected in step 2.

A - For Configured mode, click the Add Enrollee button.

Enter STA PIN: a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has to be read from either
a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be inputted
at representing the network, usually the Access Point of the network.

105

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 B - For Unconfigured mode, click the Config AP button.

Step 6: Activate the PIN function on the wireless client. For Configured mode,
the client must be configured as an Enrollee. For Unconfigured mode,
the client must be configured as the Registrar. This is different from the
External Registrar function provided in Windows Vista.

The figure below provides an example of a WPS client PIN function in-progress.

III. CHECK CONNECTION

Step 7: If the WPS setup method was successful, you will be able access the
wireless AP from the client. The client software should show the status.
The example below shows that the connection established successfully.

You can also double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the
Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the status of
the new connection.

interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the
transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS
threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon
interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long
preambles are used. Click Apply/Save to set new advanced wireless options.

Field Description
Band Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x
standards. The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units
to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x
devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE 802.11g
creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a
standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE
802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b
or g, such as offering more channels.)

efficiency. Provides a shorter delay between OFDM
transmissions than in 802.11a or g.
OBSS Co-Existence Co-existence between 20 MHZ AND 40 MHZ overlapping
Basic Service Set (OBSS) in WLAN.
RX Chain Power Save Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains,
going from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power.
RX Chain Power Save The number of seconds the traffic must be below the PPS
Quiet Time value below before the Rx Chain Power Save feature
activates itself.
RX Chain Power Save The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be
PPS processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet
Time, described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save

Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible
but drops to lower rates when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps,
5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting
is dependent on signal strength.
Multicast Rate Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)
Basic Rate Setting for basic transmission rate.
Fragmentation A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether
Threshold packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an
802.11 WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation
threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units
suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the
specified fragmentation threshold value are not
fragmented. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you
experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase
your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain
at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor performance.

 Field Description
RTS Threshold Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet
size beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS
mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS
threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC
transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS. The
default setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS
Threshold.
DTIM Interval Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as
Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1 and
65535. A DTIM is a countdown variable that informs clients
of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next
DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages. The default is 1.
Beacon Interval The amount of time between beacon transmissions in
milliseconds. The default is 100 ms and the acceptable
range is 1 – 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the
presence of an access point. By default, network devices
passively scan all RF channels listening for beacons coming
from access points. Before a station enters power save
mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when
to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there
are buffered frames at the access point).
Global Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can connect to the
router.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Option Description
Log Allows you to configure the event level and filter out unwanted events
Level below this level. The events ranging from the highest critical level
“Emergency” down to this configured level will be recorded to the log
buffer on the WR-6895 SDRAM. When the log buffer is full, the newer
event will wrap up to the top of the log buffer and overwrite the old event.
By default, the log level is “Debugging”, which is the lowest critical level.

The log levels are defined as follows:

 Emergency = system is unusable

 Alert = action must be taken immediately
 Critical = critical conditions
 Error = Error conditions
 Warning = normal but significant condition
 Notice= normal but insignificant condition
 Informational= provides information for reference
 Debugging = debug-level messages

Emergency is the most serious event level, whereas Debugging is the

least important. For instance, if the log level is set to Debugging, all the
events from the lowest Debugging level to the most critical level
Emergency level will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error, only
Error and the level above will be logged.
Display Allows the user to select the logged events and displays on the View
Level System Log window for events of this level and above to the highest

 Appendix A - Firewall
STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION
Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each
connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in
contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the
information in the packet header.

DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK

Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a
resource they would normally expect to have. Various DoS attacks the device can
withstand are ARP Attack, Ping Attack, Ping of Death, Land, SYN Attack, Smurf
Attack, and Tear Drop.

TCP/IP/PORT/INTERFACE FILTER
These rules help in the filtering of traffic at the Network layer (i.e. Layer 3).
When a Routing interface is created, Enable Firewall must be checked.
Navigate to Advanced Setup  Security  IP Filtering.

OUTGOING IP FILTER
Helps in setting rules to DROP packets from the LAN interface. By default, if the
Firewall is Enabled, all IP traffic from the LAN is allowed. By setting up one or more
filters, specific packet types coming from the LAN can be dropped.

Example 1: Filter Name : Out_Filter1

Protocol : TCP
Source IP address : 192.168.1.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Source Port : 80
Dest. IP Address : NA
Dest. Subnet Mask : NA
Dest. Port : NA

This filter will Drop all TCP packets coming from the LAN with IP
Address/Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 having a source port of 80
irrespective of the destination. All other packets will be Accepted.

Example 2: Filter Name : Out_Filter2

Protocol : UDP
Source IP Address : 192.168.1.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Source Port : 5060:6060
Dest. IP Address : 172.16.13.4
Dest. Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Dest. Port : 6060:7070

This filter will drop all UDP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address /
Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 and a source port range of 5060 to 6060,
destined to 172.16.13.4/24 and a destination port range of 6060 to 7070.

INCOMING IP FILTER
Helps in setting rules to Allow or Deny packets from the WAN interface. By default,
all incoming IP traffic from the WAN is Blocked, if the Firewall is Enabled. By setting
up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the WAN can be Accepted.

142

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Example 1: Filter Name : In_Filter1
Protocol : TCP
Policy : Allow
Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
Source Port : 80
Dest. IP Address : NA
Dest. Subnet Mask : NA
Dest. Port : NA
Selected WAN interface : br0

This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP
Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 with a source port of 80, irrespective
of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.

Example 2: Filter Name : In_Filter2

Protocol : UDP
Policy : Allow
Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
Source Port : 5060:6060
Dest. IP Address : 192.168.1.45
Dest. Sub. Mask : 255.255.255.0
Dest. Port : 6060:7070
Selected WAN interface : br0

This rule will ACCEPT all UDP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP
Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 and a source port in the range of
5060 to 6060, destined to 192.168.1.45/24 and a destination port in the range
of 6060 to 7070. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.

MAC LAYER FILTER

These rules help in the filtering of Layer 2 traffic. MAC Filtering is only effective in
Bridge mode. After a Bridge mode connection is created, navigate to Advanced
Setup  Security  MAC Filtering in the WUI.

Example 1: Global Policy : Forwarded

Protocol Type : PPPoE
Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90
Source MAC Address : NA
Src. Interface : eth1
Dest. Interface : eth2

Addition of this rule drops all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a
Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78:90 irrespective of its Source MAC
Address. All other frames on this interface are forwarded.

Example 2: Global Policy : Blocked

Protocol Type : PPPoE
Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90
Source MAC Address : 00:34:12:78:90:56
Src. Interface : eth1
Dest. Interface : eth2

Addition of this rule forwards all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a
Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78 and Source MAC Address of
00:34:12:78:90:56. All other frames on this interface are dropped.

 Appendix F - Connection Setup
Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process.

1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (Ethernet).

2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface.

The following sections describe each stage in turn.

F1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces

Every layer2 interface operates in Multi-Service Connection (VLAN MUX) mode,

which supports multiple connections over a single interface. After adding WAN
connections to an interface, you must also create an Interface Group to connect
LAN/WAN interfaces.

F1.1 Ethernet WAN Interface

The WR-6895 supports a single Ethernet WAN interface over the ETH WAN port.
Follow these procedures to configure an Ethernet interface.

STEP 1: Go to Basic Setup  WAN Setup  Select ETHERNET Interface

from the drop-down menu.

This table is provided here for ease of reference.

156

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Heading Description
Interface/ (Name) WAN interface name.
Connection Mode Default Mode – Single service over one interface.
Vlan Mux Mode – Multiple Vlan services over one interface.
Remove Select interfaces to remove.

STEP 2: Click Add to proceed to the next screen.

STEP 3: Select an Ethernet port and Click Apply/Save to confirm your choices.

On the next screen, check that the ETHERNET interface is added to the list.

To add a WAN connection go to Section F2 ~ WAN Connections.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 F2 ~ WAN Connections

The WR-6895 supports one WAN connection for each interface, up to a maximum of
16 connections.

To setup a WAN connection follow these instructions.

STEP 1: Go to Basic Setup  WAN Setup.

STEP 2: Click Add to create a WAN connection. The following screen will display.

158

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 STEP 3: Choose a layer 2 interface from the drop-down box and click Next.
The WAN Service Configuration screen will display as shown below.

NOTE: The WAN services shown here are those supported by the layer 2
interface you selected in the previous step. If you wish to change your
selection click the Back button and select a different layer 2 interface.

STEP 4: For VLAN Mux Connections only, you must enter Priority & VLAN ID tags.

Select a TPID if VLAN tag Q-in-Q is used.

STEP 5: You will now follow the instructions specific to the WAN service type you
wish to establish. This list should help you locate the correct procedure:

(1) For F2.1 PPP over ETHERNET (PPPoE), go to page 160.

(2) For F2.2 IP over ETHERNET (IPoE), go to page 166.
(3) For F2.3 Bridging, go to page 171.

The subsections that follow continue the WAN service setup procedure.

 ENABLE FULLCONE NAT
This option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all
requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same
external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host,
by sending a packet to the mapped external address.

DIAL ON DEMAND
The WR-6895 can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of
time by selecting the Dial on demand checkbox . You must also enter an
inactivity timeout period in the range of 1 to 4320 minutes.

PPP IP EXTENSION
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it.

PPP IP Extension does the following:

 Allows only one PC on the LAN.

 Disables NAT and Firewall.
 The device becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC
through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
 The device extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the
LAN PC. i.e. the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
 The device bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless
the packet is addressed to the device’s LAN IP address.
 The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is
forwarded to the PC LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the
LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the
device has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.

ENABLE NAT
If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this
checkbox . The NAT submenu will appear in the Advanced Setup menu after reboot.
On the other hand, if a private IP address is not used on the LAN side (i.e. the LAN
side is using a public IP), this checkbox  should not be selected to free up system
resources for better performance.

ENABLE FIREWALL
If this checkbox  is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the
Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox 
should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance.

USE STATIC IPv4 ADDRESS

Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox . If
selected, enter the static IP address in the IPv4 Address field.
Don’t forget to adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in section
3.2 IP Configuration.

FIXED MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which
the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1492 for PPPoE.

 ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODE
When this option is selected, the system will put more PPP connection information
into the system log. This is for debugging errors and not for normal usage.

BRIDGE PPPOE FRAMES BETWEEN WAN AND LOCAL PORTS

(This option is hidden when PPP IP Extension is enabled)
When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this
option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it.
The WR-6895 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while
simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices.

ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY

Tick the checkbox  to enable Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP)
multicast. This protocol is used by IPv4 hosts to report their multicast group
memberships to any neighboring multicast routers.

Enable IGMP Multicast Source

Enable the WAN interface to be used as IGMP multicast source.
