Chapter 2: Installation
The Mini AP Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the web
management interface:
•Router Mode — Normal gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless
clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the
factory set default mode.
•Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless
clients.
In addition to these basic operating modes, each wireless interface supports a
WIreless Distribution System (WDS) link to another Mini AP Router, and a wireless
client mode. These advanced configurations are not described in this section. See
“Network Planning” on page 3-1 for more information.
In a basic configuration, how the Mini AP Router is connected depends on the
operating mode. The following sections describe connections for basic Router Mode
and Bridge Mode operation.
Router Mode
In its default Router Mode, the Mini AP Router forwards traffic between an Internet
connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or wireless PCs or notebooks. The
basic connections are illustrated in the figure below.

Chapter 3: Network Planning
The Mini AP Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can
be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend
an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a
wireless client to connect to another wireless network, or a wireless bridge to
connect two wired LANs.
This chapter explains some of the basic features of the Mini AP Router and shows
some network topology examples in which the device is implemented.
Internet Gateway Router
The Mini AP Router can connect directly to a cable or DSL modem to provide an
Internet connection for multiple users through a single service provider account.
Users connect to the Mini AP Router either through a wired connection to the LAN
port, or though the device’s own wireless network. The Mini AP Router functions as
an Internet gateway when set to Router Mode.
An Internet gateway employs serveral functions that essentially creates two
separate Internet Protocol (IP) subnetworks; a private internal network with wired
and wireless users and a public external network that connects to the Internet.
Network traffic is forwarded, or routed, between the two subnetworks.
The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to
local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping
the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address.

The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client and
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) for connection to an Internet service
provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem:
LAN Access Point
The Mini AP Router can provide an access point service for an existing wired LAN,
creating a wireless extension to the local network. The Mini AP Router functions as
purely an access point when set to Bridge Mode. When used in this mode, there are
no gateway functions between the WAN port and the LAN and wireless interface.
A Wi-Fi wireless network is defined by its Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network
name. Wireless clients that want to connect to a network must set their SSID to the
same SSID of the network service. The Mini AP Router supports two separate
wireless interfaces, that is two SSIDs or Virtual Access Points (VAPs). The two VAP
interfaces can be configured separately to support different security settings or other
wireless functions.
Wireless Client
The Mini AP Router can operate as a wireless client on one VAP interface, which
enables a connection to another wireless network.
The wireless client option requires the unit to be set to Router Mode. When the
wireless client option is enabled, the client VAP interface functions as the external
gateway interface instead of the WAN port. The other VAP interface, LAN port, and
WAN port all function as the local network within the same IP subnet.

Wireless Bridge
The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a WIreless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge
connections between access points. The Mini AP Router can use WDS to forward
traffic on links between units.
A single WDS bridge link can be specified for each VAP interface. One end of a link
must be configured as the “WDS Parent” and the other as the “WDS Child.” A VAP
interface can be configured as a WDS Parent when the Mini AP Router is set to
either Router Mode or Bridge Mode, but to be configured to WDS child the unit must
be set to Bridge Mode.

Chapter 4: Initial Configuration
The Mini AP Router offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above).
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface using
the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial changes by connecting a
PC directly to the Mini AP Router before installing it in its intended location. The Mini
AP Router has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" (that is, set
as a DHCP client), you can connect immediately to the web interface. Otherwise,
you must set your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the Mini AP Router
(that is, the PC and Mini AP Router addresses must both start 192.168.1.x).

Wireless Configuration — Enables radio communications for the VAP interface.
(Default: Enabled)
•AP+WDS Parent – The VAP operates as an access point providing a WLAN for
wireless clients. An AP using WDS can function as a wireless network bridge to
allow a wireless connection between two wired network segments.
-Broadcast SSID: Disables SSID broadcasting to protect your network from
unauthorized access. (Default: Yes)
-SSID Name: The name of the wireless network service provided by the VAP.
Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as
that of the VAP interface. (Default: “Wireless Network 1” for VAP1; “Wireless
Network 2” for VAP2; Range: 1-32 characters)
-Channel: The radio channel that the Mini AP Router uses to communicate with
wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set
the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three access
points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients
automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the access point to
which it is linked. (Range: 1-11)
-Radio Mode: Defines the radio mode for the VAP interface.
•802.11b: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the Mini
AP Router, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard
rates (up to 11 Mbps).
•802.11b/g: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the Mini
AP Router (up to 54 Mbps).
•Client – Enables the Mini AP Router to operate as a client to a larger wireless
network upstream from your network. In this mode the VAP operates as the WAN
interface to provide Internet access. The other VAP interface, LAN and WAN ports
all operate as part of the local network.
-SSID Name: The name of the wireless network service to which you want to
connect. (Default: “Wireless Network 1” for VAP1; “Wireless Network 2” for
VAP2; Range: 1-32 characters)

Encryption Settings — Configures the encryption used by the VAP interface.
•WEP – Enables the Mini AP Router to use WEP shared keys. If enabled, you must
configure at least one key for the VAP interface and all its clients.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing
unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between
wireless clients and the Mini AP Router. WEP uses static shared keys
(fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually
distributed to all clients that want to use the network.
-Authentication Mode – The two basic methods of authentication supported for
802.11 wireless networks are “open system” and “shared key.” Open-system
authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the access point
without verifying its identity. The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients
before attempting authentication.
-Default Key – Sets WEP key values. At least one key must be specified. Each
WEP key has an index number. The selected default key is used for
authentication and encryption on the VAP interface. Enter key values that match
the key type and length settings. Standard keys are either 5 or 13 alpanumeric
characters; or 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits.
Figure 4-8. Encryption Settings - WEP Mode
•WPA(PSK) or WPA / WPA2(PSK)– Enable WPA(PSK) or WPA / WPA2(PSK)
security on the VAP interface.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) employs a combination of technologies to
provide an enhanced security solution for wireless networks. The WPA
Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode for small networks uses a common
password phrase that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to
connect to the network. WPA / WPA2(PSK) security on the VAP interface.
WPA2 is a futher security enhancement that includes the now ratified IEEE
802.11i wireless security standard.
-Pre-Shared Key: Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and
numbers. The key must be from 8 to 64 characters, which can include spaces.
All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with
the VAP interface.
-Confirm Pre-Shared Key: Enter the key for verification.

•WPA(RADIUS) or WPA / WPA2(RADIUS) – Enables WPA(RADIUS) or WPA /
WPA2(RADIUS) security on the VAP interface.
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication
protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to
RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a
database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the network.
A RADIUS server must be specified for the Mini AP Router to implement IEEE
802.1X network access control and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) wireless
security.
-Secret Key – A shared text string used to encrypt messages between the Mini
AP Router and the RADIUS server. Be sure that the same text string is specified
on the RADIUS server. Do not use blank spaces in the string.
-Confirm Secret Key – Enter the key for verification.
-RADIUS IP Address – Specifies the IP address of the RADIUS server.
-RADIUS Port – The UDP port number used by the RADIUS server for
authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default:1812).

QoS
Wireless networks offer an equal opportunity for all devices to transmit data from
any type of application. Although this is acceptable for most applications, multimedia
applications (with audio and video) are particularly sensitive to the delay and
throughput variations that result from this equal opportunity wireless access method.
For multimedia applications to run well over a wireless network, a Quality of Service
(QoS) mechanism is required to prioritize traffic types and provide an “enhanced
opportunity” wireless access method.
The Mini AP Router implements QoS using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) standard.
Using WMM, the min router is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance
when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same
time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.11e
QoS standard and it enables the Mini AP Router to interoperate with both
WMM-enabled clients and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to
License Information
C-2
C
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee,
you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that
they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms
so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you
this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is
modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to
avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent
licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it
clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
The GNU General Public License
C-3
C
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
a). You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
b). You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
c). If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else,
saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not
normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section
2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
provided that you also do one of the following:
a). Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
License Information
C-4
C
b). Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any
third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c). Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object
code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
parties to this License.
The GNU General Public License
C-5
C
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or
for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all
those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way
you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has
the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have
made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through
that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any
other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
License Information

C
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
1. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
2. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks.
Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation of multiple radio
cells that enable roaming throughout a facility.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES provides
very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and
WEP.
Authentication
The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. IEEE 802.11
specifies two forms of authentication: open system and shared key.
Backbone
The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that transports
information from one central location to another central location where it is unloaded
onto a local system.
Beacon
A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to identify the
service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.
Broadcast Key
Broadcast keys are sent to stations using dynamic keying. Dynamic broadcast key
rotation is often used to allow the access point to generate a random group key and
periodically update all key-management capable wireless clients.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP
network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability
of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration
options.

A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.
IEEE 802.11b
A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The standard provides for data
rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11g
A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard
provides for data rates of 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is also
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.
Infrastructure
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A group of interconnected computer and support devices.
MAC Address
The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The time
servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.
Open System
A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the access point’s
configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and
automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access
point.
Glossary-3
Glossary
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM)
OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the
bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
Repeater and Bridge
Repeater and bridge can provide an extended link to a remote access point from the
wired LAN. Access Point working in this mode could connect to another AP in
Access Point mode or Repeater and Bridge mode. Whenever there are two APs
having wireless link together (one in Access Point or Repeater and Bridge mode,
another using Repeater and Bridge mode), and also have wired link separately,
these two APs are also working as “bridging” for the two wired links.
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and functions as
a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).
Session Key
Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a client
connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the access
point.
Shared Key
A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless network.
Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent
Privacy algorithm.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP
server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the
problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
Virtual Access Point (VAP)
Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access Points present within the RF
footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP technology, WLAN users
within the device’s footprint can associate with what appears to be different access
points and their associated network services. All the services are delivered using a
Glossary

single radio channel, enabling Virtual AP technology to optimize the use of limited
WLAN radio spectrum.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and dynamic
key management to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless
networks.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
WPA Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of users that
may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a simple security
implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for network access.
