1.4 IP ADDRESS SETUP

Before you log into the CDE-30364s GUI, your computers IP address must be in the
same subnet as the CDE-30364. This allows your computer to communicate with the
CDE-30364.
NOTE: See IP Addresses and Subnets on page 25 for background information.
The CDE-30364 has a built-in DHCP server that, when active, assigns IP addresses
to computers on the LAN. When the DHCP server is active, you can get an IP
address automatically. The DHCP server is active by default.
If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not
sure, try to log in to the CDE-30364 (see Logging into the CDE-30364 on page 21).
If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly.
If the login screen does not display, either the CDE-30364s DHCP server is not
active or your computer is not configured correctly. Follow the procedure in

Manual IP Address Setup on page 20 and set your computer to get an IP
address automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot log in, follow the manual
IP address setup procedure again, and set a specific IP address as shown. Try
to log in again.
NOTE: If you still cannot see the login screen, your CDE-30364s IP settings may
have been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CDE-30364s
new address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See Resetting the
CDE-30364 on page 23. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are
lost.
1.4.1 MANUAL IP ADDRESS SETUP

By default, your CDE-30364s local IP address is 192.168.1.1. If your CDE-30364 is
using the default IP address, you should set your computers IP address to be
between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254.
NOTE: If your CDE-30364 DHCP server is active, set your computer to get an IP
address automatically in step 5. The CDE-30364 assigns an IP address to
your computer. The DHCP server is active by default.
INTRODUCTION
21

Take the following steps to manually set up your computers IP address to connect to
the CDE-30364:
NOTE: This example uses Windows XP; the procedure for your operating system
may be different.
Click Start, then click Control Panel.
In the window that displays, double-click Network Connections.

4
5
Right-click your network connection (usually Local Area Connection) and click
Properties.
In the General tabs This connection uses the following items list, scroll
down and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties.
You can get an IP address automatically, or specify one manually:
If your CDE-30364s DHCP server is active, select Get an IP address
automatically.
If your CDE-30364s DHCP server is active, select Use the following IP
address. In the IP address field, enter a value between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254 (default). In the Subnet mask field, enter 255.255.255.0
(default).
NOTE: If your CDE-30364 is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address
and subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the CDE30364.
Click OK. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window closes. In the Local Area
Connection Properties window, click OK.
Your computer now obtains an IP address from the CDE-30364, or uses the IP
address that you specified, and can communicate with the CDE-30364.
1.5 LOGGING INTO THE CDE-30364

Take the following steps to log into the CDE-30364s GUI.
NOTE: You can log into the CDE-30364s GUI via the wireless interface. However, it
is strongly recommended that you configure the CDE-30364 via a wired

CABLE
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Cable in the toolbar.
2.1 CABLE OVERVIEW

This section describes some of the concepts related to the Cable screens.
2.1.1 DOCSIS
The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a
telecommunications standard that defines the provision of data services) Internet
access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network.
Your CDE-30364 supports DOCSIS version 3.0.
2.1.2 IP ADDRESSES AND SUBNETS

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
The IP address works much like a street address, in that it identifies a specific
location to which information is transmitted. No two computers on a network can have
the same IP address.
2.1.2.1 IP ADDRESS FORMAT

IP addresses consist of four octets (8-bit numerical values) and are usually
represented in decimal notation, for example 192.168.1.1. In decimal notation, this
means that each octet has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 255.
An IP address carries two basic pieces of information: the network number (the
address of the network as a whole, analogous to a street name) and the host ID
(analogous to a house number) which identifies the specific computer (or other
network device).
2.1.2.2 IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT

IP addresses can come from three places:
The Internet Assigned Numbers Agency (IANA)

CABLE
25
26
Your Internet Service Provider

You (or your network devices)
IANA is responsible for IP address allocation on a global scale, and your ISP assigns
IP addresses to its customers. You should never attempt to define your own IP
addresses on a public network, but you are free to do so on a private network.
In the case of the CDE-30364:
The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable
(CATV) connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CDE-30364s IP
address on this network is assigned by your service provider.
The private network (in routing mode - see Routing Mode on page 28) is your
Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), if
enabled. You are free to assign IP addresses to computers on the LAN and
WLAN manually, or to allow the CDE-30364 to assign them automatically via
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). IANA has reserved the following
blocks of IP addresses to be used for private networks only:
TABLE 4: Private IP Address Ranges

FROM...
...TO
10.0.0.0
10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0
172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0
192.168.255.255
If you assign addresses manually, they must be within the CDE-30364s LAN
subnet.
2.1.2.3 SUBNETS
A subnet (short for sub-network) is, as the name suggests, a separate section of a
network, distinct from the main network of which it is a part. A subnet may contain all
of the computers at one corporate local office, for example, while the main network
includes several offices.
In order to define the extent of a subnet, and to differentiate it from the main network,
a subnet mask is used. This masks the part of the IP address that refers to the main
network, leaving the part of the IP address that refers to the sub-network.
Each subnet mask has 32 bits (binary digits), as does each IP address:
A binary value of 1 in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the
IP address is part of the main network.
A binary value of 0 in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the
IP address is part of the sub-network.
CABLE
27

For example, the following table shows the IP address of a computer (192.168.1.1)
expressed in decimal and binary (each cell in the table indicates one octet):
TABLE 5: IP Address: Decimal and Binary
192
168
0
11000000
10101000
00000000
1
00000001
The following table shows a subnet mask that masks the first twenty-four bits of the
IP address, in both its decimal and binary notation.
TABLE 6: Subnet Mask: Decimal and Binary
255
255
255
11111111
11111111
11111111
0
00000000
This shows that in this subnet, the first three octets (192.168.1, in the example IP
address) define the main network, and the final octet (1, in the example IP address)
defines the computers address on the subnet.
The decimal and binary notations give us the two common ways to write a subnet
mask:
Decimal: the subnet mask is written in the same fashion as the IP address:
255.255.255.0, for example.
Binary: the subnet mask is indicated after the IP address (preceded by a forward
slash), specifying the number of binary digits that it masks. The subnet mask
255.255.255.0 masks the first twenty-four bits of the IP address, so it would be
written as follows: 192.168.1.1/24.
2.1.3 DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP, defines the process by which IP
addresses can be assigned to computers and other networking devices
automatically, from another device on the network. This device is known as a DHCP
server, and provides addresses to all the DHCP client devices.
In order to receive an IP address via DHCP, a computer must first request one from
the DHCP server (this is a broadcast request, meaning that it is sent out to the whole
network, rather than just one IP address). The DHCP server hears the requests, and
responds by assigning an IP address to the computer that requested it.
If a computer is not configured to request an IP address via DHCP, you must
configure an IP address manually if you want to access other computers and devices
on the network. See IP Address Setup on page 20 for more information.
By default, the CDE-30364 is a DHCP client on the WAN (the CATV connection). It
broadcasts an IP address over the cable network, and receives one from the service
provider. By default, the CDE-30364 is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP
addresses to computers on the LAN which request them.
CABLE
28
2.1.4 DHCP LEASE

DHCP lease refers to the length of time for which a DHCP server allows a DHCP
client to use an IP address. Usually, a DHCP client will request a DHCP lease
renewal before the lease time is up, and can continue to use the IP address for an
additional period. However, if the client does not request a renewal, the DHCP server
stops allowing the client to use the IP address.
This is done to prevent IP addresses from being used up by computers that no longer
require them, since the pool of available IP addresses is finite.
2.1.5 MAC ADDRESSES

Every network device possesses a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This is a
unique alphanumeric code, given to the device at the factory, which in most cases
cannot be changed (although some devices are capable of MAC spoofing, where
they impersonate another devices MAC address).
MAC addresses are the most reliable way of identifying network devices, since IP
addresses tend to change over time (whether manually altered, or updated via
DHCP).
Each MAC address displays as six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by
colons (or, occasionally, dashes) for example 00:AA:FF:1A:B5:74.
NOTE: Each group of two hexadecimal digits is known as an octet, since it
represents eight bits.
Bear in mind that a MAC address does not precisely represent a computer on your
network (or elsewhere), it represents a network device, which may be part of a
computer (or other device). For example, if a single computer has an Ethernet card
(to connect to your CDE-30364 via one of the LAN ports) and also has a wireless
card (to connect to your CDE-30364 over the wireless interface) the MAC addresses
of the two cards will be different. In the case of the CDE-30364, each internal module
(cable modem module, Ethernet module, wireless module, etc.) possesses its own
MAC address.
2.1.6 ROUTING MODE

When your CDE-30364 is in routing mode, it acts as a gateway for computers on the
LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns an IP address to the CDE30364 on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to that IP address. The
CDE-30364 assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers (when DHCP is active),
and transmits the relevant traffic to each private IP address.
NOTE: When DHCP is not active on the CDE-30364 in routing mode, each computer
on the LAN must be assigned an IP address in the CDE-30364s subnet
manually.
CABLE
29

When the CDE-30364 is not in routing mode, the service provider assigns an IP
address to each computer connected to the CDE-30364 directly. The CDE-30364
does not perform any routing operations, and traffic flows between the computers and
the service provider.
Routing mode is not user-configurable; it is specified by the service provider in the
CDE-30364s configuration file.
2.1.7 CONFIGURATION FILES

The CDE-30364s configuration (or config) file is a document that the CDE-30364
obtains automatically over the Internet from the service providers server, which
specifies the settings that the CDE-30364 should use. It contains a variety of settings
that are not present in the user-configurable Graphical User Interface (GUI) and can
be specified only by the service provider.
2.1.8 DOWNSTREAM AND UPSTREAM TRANSMISSIONS

The terms downstream and upstream refer to data traffic flows, and indicate the
direction in which the traffic is traveling. Downstream refers to traffic from the
service provider to the CDE-30364, and upstream refers to traffic from the CDE30364 to the service provider.
2.1.9 CABLE FREQUENCIES

Just like radio transmissions, data transmissions over the cable network must exist
on different frequencies in order to avoid interference between signals.
The data traffic band is separate from the TV band, and each data channel is
separate from other data channels.
2.1.10 MODULATION
Transmissions over the cable network are based on a strong, high frequency periodic
waveform known as the carrier wave. This carrier wave is so called because it
carries the data signal. The data signal itself is defined by variations in the carrier
wave. The process of varying the carrier wave (in order to carry data signal
information) is known as modulation. The data signal is thus known as the
modulating signal.
Cable transmissions use a variety of methods to perform modulation (and the
decoding of the received signal, or demodulation). The modulation methods
defined in DOCSIS 3 are as follows:
QPSK: Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying

QAM: Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
QAM TCM: Trellis modulated Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
CABLE
30

In many cases, a number precedes the modulation type (for example 16 QAM). This
number refers to the complexity of modulation. The higher the number, the more data
can be encoded in each symbol.
NOTE: In modulated signals, each distinct modulated character (for example, each
audible tone produced by a modem for transmission over telephone lines) is
known as a symbol.
Since more information can be represented by a single character, a higher number
indicates a higher data transfer rate.
2.1.11 TDMA, FDMA AND SCDMA

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
and Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (SCDMA) are channel access
methods that allow multiple users to share the same frequency channel.
TDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by splitting
transmissions by time. Each user is allocated a number of time slots, and
transmits during those time slots.
FDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning a
frequency band within the existing channel to each user.
SCDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning
a unique orthogonal code to each user.

LAN
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click LAN in the toolbar.
3.1 LAN OVERVIEW

This section describes some of the concepts related to the LAN screens.
3.1.1 LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of computers and other devices that usually
occupies a small physical area (a single building, for example). Your CDE-30364s
LAN consists of all the computers and other networking devices connected to the
LAN 1~4 ports. This is your private network (in routing mode - see Routing Mode on
page 28).
The LAN is a separate network from the Wide Area Network (WAN). In the case of
the CDE-30364, the WAN refers to all computers and other devices available on the
cable (CATV) connection.
By default, computers on the WAN cannot identify individual computers on the LAN;
they can see only the CDE-30364. The CDE-30364 handles routing to and from
individual computers on the LAN.
3.1.2 LAN IP ADDRESSES AND SUBNETS

IP addresses on the LAN are controlled either by the CDE-30364s built-in DHCP
server (see DHCP on page 27), or by you (when you manually assign IP addresses
to your computers).
For more information about IP addresses and subnets in general, see IP Addresses
and Subnets on page 25.
LAN
39
40
3.1.3 DOMAIN SUFFIX

A domain is a location on a network, for instance example.com. On the Internet,
domain names are mapped to the IP addresses to which they should refer by the
Domain Name System. This allows you to enter www.example.com into your
browser and reach the correct place on the Internet even if the IP address of the
websites server has changed.
Similarly, the CDE-30364 allows you to define a Domain Suffix to the LAN. When
you enter the domain suffix into your browser, you can reach the CDE-30364 no
matter what IP address it has on the LAN.
3.1.4 DEBUGGING (PING AND TRACEROUTE)

The CDE-30364 provides a couple of tools to allow you to perform network
diagnostics on the LAN:
Ping: this tool allows you to enter an IP address and see if a computer (or other
network device) responds with that address on the network. The name comes
from the pulse that submarine SONAR emits when scanning for underwater
objects, since the process is rather similar. You can use this tool to see if an IP
address is in use, or to discover if a device (whose IP address you know) is
working properly.
Traceroute: this tool allows you to see the route taken by data packets to get
from the CDE-30364 to the destination you specify. You can use this tool to
solve routing problems, or identify firewalls that may be blocking your access to
a computer or service.

FIREWALL
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Firewall in the
toolbar.
4.1 FIREWALL OVERVIEW

This section describes some of the concepts related to the Firewall screens.
4.1.1 FIREWALL
The term firewall comes from a construction technique designed to prevent the
spread of fire from one room to another. Similarly, your CDE-30364s firewall
prevents intrusion attempts and other undesirable activity originating from the WAN,
keeping the computers on your LAN safe. You can also use filtering techniques to
specify the computers and other devices you want to allow on the LAN, and prevent
certain traffic from going from the LAN to the WAN.
4.1.2 INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM

An intrusion detection system monitors network activity, looking for policy violations,
and malicious or suspicious activity. The CDE-30364s intrusion detection system
logs all such activity to the Firewall > Local Logs screen.
4.1.3 PING
The CDE-30364 allows you to use the ping utility on the LAN (in the LAN > Debug
screen) and also on the WAN (in the Firewall > Firewall Options screen). For more
information, see Debugging (Ping and Traceroute) on page 40.
4.1.4 MAC FILTERING

Every networking device has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address that
identifies it on the network. When you enable MAC address filtering on the CDE30364s firewall, you can set up a list of MAC addresses, and then specify whether
you want to:
FIREWALL
47
48
Deny the devices on the list access to the CDE-30364 and the network (in which
case all other devices can access the network)
or
Allow the devices on the list to access the network (in which case no other
devices can access the network)
4.1.5 IP FILTERING
IP filtering allows you to prevent computers on the LAN from sending certain types of
data to the WAN. You can use this to prevent unwanted outgoing communications.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN from which you want to prevent
communications, and specify the port range of the communications you want to
prevent. The CDE-30364 discards outgoing data packets that match the criteria you
specified.
4.1.6 PORT FORWARDING

Port forwarding allows a computer on your LAN to receive specific communications
from the WAN. Typically, this is used to allow certain applications (such as gaming)
through the firewall, for a specific computer on the LAN. Port forwarding is also
commonly used for running a public HTTP server from a private network.
You can set up a port forwarding rule for each application for which you want to open
ports in the firewall. When the CDE-30364 receives incoming traffic from the WAN
with a destination port that matches a port forwarding rule, it forwards the traffic to the
LAN IP address and port number specified in the port forwarding rule.
NOTE: For information on the ports you need to open for a particular application,
consult that applications documentation.
4.1.7 PORT TRIGGERING

Port triggering is a means of automating port forwarding. The CDE-30364 scans
outgoing traffic (from the LAN to the WAN) to see if any of the traffics destination
ports match those specified in the port triggering rules you configure. If any of the
ports match, the CDE-30364 automatically opens the incoming ports specified in the
rule, in anticipation of incoming traffic.
4.1.8 DMZ
In networking, the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) is a part of your LAN that has been
isolated from the rest of the LAN, and opened up to the WAN. The term comes from
the military designation for a piece of territory, usually located between two opposing
forces, that is isolated from both and occupied by neither.
FIREWALL

4.2 THE FIREWALL OPTIONS SCREEN

Use this screen to turn firewall features on or off, and to configure your networks

WIRELESS
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Wireless in the
toolbar.
6.1 WIRELESS OVERVIEW

This section describes some of the concepts related to the Wireless screens.
6.1.1 WIRELESS NETWORKING BASICS

Your CDE-30364s wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), known
as the Wireless LAN (WLAN). The WLAN is a network of radio links between the
CDE-30364 and the other computers and devices that connect to it.
6.1.2 ARCHITECTURE
The wireless network consists of two types of device: access points (APs) and
clients.
The access point controls the network, providing a wireless connection to each
client.
The wireless clients connect to the access point in order to receive a wireless
connection to the WAN and the wired LAN.
The CDE-30364 is the access point, and the computers you connect to the CDE30364 are the wireless clients.
6.1.3 WIRELESS STANDARDS

The way in which wireless devices communicate with one another is standardized by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE standards
pertaining to wireless LANs are identified by their 802.11 designation. There are a
variety of WLAN standards, but the CDE-30364 supports the following (in order of
adoption - old to new - and data transfer speeds - low to high):
IEEE 802.11b
IEEE 802.11g
WIRELESS
71
72
IEEE 802.11n
6.1.4 SERVICE SETS AND SSIDS
Each wireless network, including all the devices that comprise it, is known as a
Service Set.
NOTE: Depending on its capabilities and configuration, a single wireless access point
may control multiple Service Sets; this is often done to provide different
service or security levels to different clients.
Each Service Set is identified by a Service Set IDentifier (SSID). This is the name of
the network. Wireless clients must know the SSID in order to be able to connect to
the AP. You can configure the CDE-30364 to broadcast the SSID (in which case, any
client who scans the airwaves can discover the SSID), or to hide the SSID (in which
case it is not broadcast, and only users who already know the SSID can connect).
6.1.5 WIRELESS SECURITY

Radio is inherently an insecure medium, since it can be intercepted by anybody in the
coverage area with a radio receiver. Therefore, a variety of techniques exist to control
authentication (identifying who should be allowed to join the network) and encryption
(signal scrambling so that only authenticated users can decode the transmitted data).
The sophistication of each security method varies, as does its effectiveness. The
CDE-30364 supports the following wireless security protocols (in order of
effectiveness):
WEP (the Wired Equivalency Protocol): this protocol uses a series of keys or
data strings to authenticate the wireless client with the AP, and to encrypt data
sent over the wireless link. WEP is a deprecated protocol, and should only be
used when it is the only security standard supported by the wireless clients.
WEP provides only a nominal level of security, since widely-available software
exists that can break it in a matter of minutes.
WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key): WPA was created to
solve the inadequacies of WEP. There are two types of WPA: the enterprise
version (known simply as WPA) requires the use of a central authentication
database server, whereas the personal version (supported by the CDE-30364)
allows users to authenticate using a pre-shared key or password instead.
While WPA provides good security, it is still vulnerable to brute force
password-guessing attempts (in which an attacker simply barrages the AP with
join requests using different passwords), so for optimal security it is advised that
you use a random password of thirteen characters or more, containing no
dictionary words.
WPA2-PSK: WPA2 is an improvement on WPA. The primary difference is that
WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption standard
(which has been shown to have certain possible weaknesses), whereas WPA2
uses the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode
with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP),
WIRELESS
73

which has received the US governments seal of approval for communications
up to the Top Secret security level. Since WPA2-PSK uses the same pre-shared
key mechanism as WPA-PSK, the same caveat against using insecure or
simple passwords applies.
6.1.5.1 WPS
WiFi-Protected Setup (WPS) is a standardized method of allowing wireless devices
to quickly and easily join wireless networks, while maintaining a good level of
security. The CDE-30364 provides two methods of WPS authentication:
Push-Button Configuration (PBC): when the user presses the PBC button on
the AP (either a physical button, or a virtual button in the GUI), any user of a
wireless client that supports WPS can press the corresponding PBC button on
the client within two minutes to join the network.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Configuration: all WPS-capable
devices possess a PIN (usually to be found printed on a sticker on the devices

housing). When you configure another device to use the same PIN, the two
devices authenticate with one another.
Once authenticated, devices that have joined a network via WPS use the WPA2
security standard.
6.1.6 WMM
WiFi MultiMedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) enhancement that allows
prioritization of certain types of data over the wireless network. WMM provides four
data type classifications (in priority order; highest to lowest):
Voice
Video
Best effort
Background
If you wish to improve the performance of voice and video (at the expense of other,
less time-sensitive applications such as Internet browsing and FTP transfers), you
can enable WMM. You can also edit the WMM QoS parameters, but are disadvised
to do so unless you have an extremely good reason to make the changes.

BG Protection Mode
Use this field to configure IEEE 802.11b/g protection.

Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless communications
occur at the same radio frequencies. When the CDE30364 is wirelessly connected to 802.11b clients and
802.11g clients simultaneously, the performance of the
link to 802.11g clients can deteriorate due to the
presence of the 802.11b clients. Because 802.11b and
802.11g use different modulation techniques, 802.11b
clients do not understand 802.11gs Request To Send
(RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) messages, which
ensure that each wireless device transmits only when
other devices are not transmitting.
When B/G protection is active, the CDE-30364 prevents
802.11b clients transmitting over 802.11g transmissions
by first transmitting an announcement (known as a CTSto-Self) to 802.11b clients, stating that it intends to
transmit to 802.11g clients.
Select Auto to have the CDE-30364 control whether

B/G protection is active or not.
Select Always-on to use B/G protection at all times.

Select Always-off to never use B/G protection.
IGMP Snooping
Use this field to turn Internet Group Management

Protocol (IGMP) snooping on or off.
IGMP is used to manage multicast groups. In multicast
groups, data is transmitted to numerous IP addresses
simultaneously. This is the most efficient method of
providing the same data to many different recipients at
the same time, since each data packet needs to be sent
only once. Multicast groups are often used for Internet
TV and real-time streaming applications such as online
gaming.
IGMP snooping allows the CDE-30364 to snoop or
listen in on IGMP traffic, and to determine which
computers on the LAN belong to which IGMP groups. By
keeping lists of which computers belong to IGMP
groups, the CDE-30364 can send the IGMP data to only
those computers that have requested it, and can refrain
from sending unsolicited multicast data. This can
improve your connection to wireless clients.
Select Disable to turn IGMP snooping off.

Select Enable to turn IGMP snooping on.

NOTE: Turn WMM on and off in the Wireless > Basic
Settings screen.
HT Physical Mode
Operating Mode
Use this field to configure how the CDE-30364 transmits

in IEEE 802.11n mode.
Greenfield mode, also known is High Throughput (HT)
mode, assumes that there are no existing IEE 802.11a/
b/g stations using the same radio channel. In greenfield
mode, the 802.11a/b/g stations are unable to tell when
802.11n transmissions are occurring. You should select
this mode only if there are no 802.11a/b/g stations in
your network (or other networks in your location).
Otherwise these stations wireless transmissions will
interfere with your 802.11n transmissions. When no
802.11a/b/g stations are present, greenfield mode
allows greater wireless network speeds, because the
legacy messages (RTS, CTS and CTS-to-Self) do not
need to be sent.
Mixed mode, on the other hand, allows 802.11a/b/g
stations to tell when 802.11n transmissions are
occurring, by transmitting RTS, CTS and CTS-to-Self
messages in a format the legacy stations can
understand. You should select this option if you have
802.11a/b/g stations in your networks, or if there are
other 802.11a/b/g networks in your area.
Channel Bandwidth
This field allows you to configure the width of the radio

channel the CDE-30364 uses to communicate with its
wireless clients (IEEE 802.11n only). Using the full
40MHz bandwidth can double your data speed.
Select 20 to only use a 20 megahertz band.

Select 20/40 to use a 40 megahertz band when
possible, and a 20 megahertz band when a 40Mhz

band is unavailable.
WIRELESS
85

Guard Interval
In 802.11n networks, the guard interval is the amount of
time that elapses between the transmission of symbols.
This is to prevent Inter-Symbol Interference, or ISI,
caused by echoes.
NOTE: In modulated signals, each distinct modulated
character (for example, each audible tone
produced by a modem for transmission over
telephone lines) is known as a symbol.
Select Long to use a long guard interval of 800

nanoseconds.
Select Short to use a short guard interval of 400

nanoseconds.
MCS
Use this field to configure the Modulation and Coding

Scheme (MCS) that the CDE-30364 uses for IEEE
802.11n transmissions.
The 802.11n protocol specifies 77 Modulation and
Coding Schemes. Each MCS refers to a combination of
a modulation technique, a coding rate, a guard interval,
and a certain number of spatial streams. The CDE30364 supports MCS 0~15, and 32.
Select the MCS that you wish to use for 802.11n
transmissions. If unsure, select Auto (default).
Reverse Direction
Grant (RDG)
Use this field to configure Reverse Direction Grant in

IEEE 802.11n transmissions.
Each data transfer requires that the wireless station
initiating the transfer acquires permission from the
access point to perform the transfer. This is known as a
transmission opportunity, or TXOP. Each TXOP is timelimited; the initiating station may transmit for only a
certain length of time, and then must cease.
Normally, if the receiving station wishes to return data to
the initiating station, it must also acquire its own TXOP.
However, when you enable Reverse Direction Grants, a
wireless station that has already obtained a TXOP may
issue a Reverse Direction Grant to the receiving station.
This allows the receiving station to transmit data back to
the initiating station for the remaining time specified in
the original TXOP. It does not need to acquire its own
TXOP.
Select Disable to disallow Reverse Direction Grants.

Select Enable to allow Reverse Direction Grants.
WIRELESS
86

Extension Channel
This field displays the secondary wireless radio channel
that the CDE-30364 uses for channel bonding
(combining two channels for faster data transfer) in IEEE
NOTE: At the time of writing, you cannot select the
Extension channel. It is selected automatically
by the CDE-30364.
Aggregation MSDU
(A-MSDU)
Use this field to control whether the CDE-30364

supports Aggregation MSDUs (A-MSDUs) in IEEE
Each A-MSDU consists of multiple MSDUs, added
together (aggregated) to create one large packet. This
reduces the overhead associated with transmission, but
can result in a reduced data rate if your network suffers
from a high error rate since each lost A-MSDU will
require retransmission.
Select Disable to not use A-MSDUs.

Select Enable to use A-MSDUs.
Auto Block ACK
Use this field to control how the CDE-30364 sends

acknowledgement (ACK) requests in IEEE 802.11n
transmissions.
Normally, an ACK request is sent after every data or
management frame in order to ensure that it has been
received correctly. However, when you enable Auto
Block ACK the CDE-30364 sends a burst of multiple
frames together, and follows it with a single, block ACK
request.
Select Disable to not use block ACKs.

Select Enable to use block ACKs.
NOTE: Block ACK can increase your networks speed,
as fewer ACK messages are sent. However, you
should not use it if your network is prone to
interference, since if the transmitting station
needs to retransmit information, the required
retransmission will be much longer.
Decline BA Request
WIRELESS
Use this field to control how the CDE-30364 receives

acknowledgement (ACK) requests in IEEE 802.11n
transmissions.
Select Disable to accept block ACK requests. The
transmitting device may then send multiple data frames

Select Enable to decline block ACK requests. The
transmitting device must then follow each data frame
with an ACK request in the traditional manner.
