General

Host Name
Set the host name.
The host name is used for SX Virtual Link, WINS, etc. Be sure to use a unique name that is not used by other devices.
SXDSxxxxxx 
(xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet Address)
Network Mode
Select the type of network connection.


  • AUTO
    Automatically detects the connection type.
    If a network cable is connected at the time of power on,
    SX-DS-3000WAN will be connected to a wired network. Otherwise, SX-DS-3000WAN will be connected to a wireless network.
  • WIRELESS
    Connects to a wireless network. 
  • WIRED
    Connects to a wired network via a network cable.
AUTO

TCP/IP

DHCP Enable/Disable the DHCP protocol.
To assign an IP address using DHCP, the DHCP server must be running in your subnetwork.

ENABLE
IP Address Set the IP address.
If the DHCP is enabled on your network, the IP Address obtained from it will be applied.
The value must be 4 numbers separated by dots and expressed in the format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].

0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask Set the subnet mask.
If the DHCP is enabled on your network, the Subnet Mask obtained from it will be applied.
The value must be 4 numbers separated by dots and expressed in the format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].
When set to "0.0.0.0", a subnet mask appropriate for the IP address is automatically used.

0.0.0.0
Default Gateway Set the gateway address.
If the DHCP is enabled on your network, the Default Gateway obtained from it will be applied.
The value must be 4 numbers separated by dots and expressed in the format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]. Also, the gateway needs to be running in the same subnetwork as SX-DS-3000WAN. If "0.0.0.0" is set, this setting is disabled.
0.0.0.0
WINS Server Set the WINS server address.
If the DHCP is enabled on your network, the WINS Server address obtained from it will be applied.
The value must be 4 numbers separated by dots and expressed in the format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].
0.0.0.0

Wired LAN

LAN Interface Configure the physical network type.
Usually, "AUTO" is used. If a LED on your HUB does not light on when SX-DS-3000WAN is powered on, change the network type to that of the HUB.
AUTO
Jumbo Frame Enable/Disable Jumbo Frame (ON/OFF).
If enabled, high speed data transmission up to 10240 bytes per frame (excluding FCS 4 bytes) can be utilized for TCP/IP communication. Disable this setting if using SX-DS-3000WAN on
a 10/100Mbps network.
OFF

Wireless LAN

Operating Mode
Select the wireless connection mode.


  • Infra. (Infrastructure Mode)
    Connects to a network via a wireless router. 
  • Adhoc (Ad hoc Mode)
    Directly connects to a computer without using a wireless router. 
Adhoc
SSID Set the SSID of your wireless network.
The SSID is an ID that distinguishes a wireless LAN network from others. For wireless devices to communicate with each other on a wireless network, they must share the same SSID.

Up to 32 characters ( including hyphen "-" and underscore "_" ) can be used.
GROUP
Channel Set the wireless channel.
This setting is necessary when SX-DS-3000WAN is used in Adhoc mode. For wireless devices to communicate with each other on a wireless network, they must share the same channel.

A channel is the divided frequency bandwidth. In a wireless network,  bandwidth is divided up so that more devices can communicate at a time. If your network becomes unstable due to interference from other wireless devices, it could be improved by changing the channel.

Network Authentication
Select the network authentication mode that will be used to connect to your wireless router (Access Point). To ensure a secure network, it is recommended to use WPA/WPA2. For IEEE 802.11n, only AES can be used

  • Open (Open System)
    Allows all access without authentication. For encryption mode, WEP can be used. 
  • Shared (Pre-Shared Key)
    Uses WEP key for encryption and allows access only from those with the same WEP key. For encryption mode, WEP can be used. 
  • WPA
    Uses PSK for network authentication. For encryption mode, TKIP/AES can be selected. The encryption key will be generated by communicating with your wireless router (Access Point) using a Pre-Shared key. WEP key setting is not used for this mode.
  • WPA2
    Uses PSK for network authentication. For encryption mode, TKIP/AES can be selected. The encryption key will be generated by communicating with your wireless router (Access Point) using a Pre-Shared key. WEP key setting is not used for this mode.
Open
WEP Enable/Disable WEP encryption (ON/OFF).
If WEP encryption is used, wireless communication will be encrypted using the settings for "WEP Key 1-4" and "Key Index".
* If encryption is not enabled, data is not encrypted and is sent as is. To ensure higher security, enabling encryption is recommended.
OFF
Key Index Select the number of the WEP key that you wish to use for encryption (1-4).
This setting must be the same as that of your wireless router (Access Point) or other devices you wish to connect to.
1
WEP Key 1 - 4 Set the WEP key for WEP encryption.
Up to 4 WEP keys can be set. This setting must be the same as that of your wireless router (Access Point) or other devices you wish to connect to. A WEP key must be entered using hexadecimal or alphanumeric characters.

In most cases, alphanumeric characters are used.
Enter 5 characters if the key size is 64bit or 13 characters if the key size is 128bit.

For Hexadecimal, a value consists of numbers (0-9) and English letters (A-F). Enter a 10-digit value if the key size is 64bit or a 26-digit value if the key size is 128bit.

None
Encryption Mode Select the encryption mode that you wish to use for WPA/WPA2 authentication.

This setting must be the same as that of your wireless router (Access Point) or other devices you wish to connect to. Select one of the following:
  • TKIP
  • AES
* Usually, AES is safer than TKIP. To ensure higher security, it is recommended to use AES when you establish a wireless network.
AES
Pre-Shared Key
Set the Pre-Shared Key. This setting is necessary when TKIP/AES is used for encryption mode.
The Pre-Shared Key is a keyword used to create the encryption key. It is also referred to as ' network key ' or ' password '.

In most case, alphanumeric characters are used (8-63 characters).
For Hexadecimal, a value consists of numbers (0-9) and English letters (A-F).

* This setting must be the same as that of your wireless router (Access Point) or other devices you wish to connect to.

Password

New Password Set the administrator password (up to 7 ASCII characters).
This password is used for authentication when changing settings from the Web configuration page.
None
Confirm New Password Enter the same password again to make sure the password is correct. None

IP Filter

Filter Mode Set the IP address access filter.
Access to SX-DS-3000WAN and use of its connected USB devices can be restricted by registering an IP Address range for Filter 1-4.

  • ALLOW
    Allows access to SX-DS-3000WAN and use of its connected USB devices only from the registered IP address range.
  • DENY
    Denies access to SX-DS-3000WAN and use of its connected USB devices only from the registered IP address range.
DENY
IP Address / Address Mask Set the IP address filter range by registering the address to IP Address and Address Mask.
Up to 4 address ranges can be registered. When you do not use this setting, enter "0.0.0.0" for IP Address and Address Mask.


Example:    IP Address / Address Mask : Address range

  - 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0  :  Not used

  - 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.255.0   :  192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255

  - 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.255  :  192.168.0.1 only
