Description of Capabilities
– 22 –
◆Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP.
◆Compatible with all popular Internet applications.
In addition, the Gateway Router offers full network management
capabilities through an easy-to-configure web interface.
APPLICATIONS Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:
◆Wired LAN — The Barricade provides connectivity to wired
10/100 Mbps devices, making it easy to create a network in small
offices or homes.
◆Internet Access — This device supports Internet access through a
WAN connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish
communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-in clients
for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on
your computer.
◆Shared IP Address — The Barricade provides Internet access for up
to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP
account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the
same time.
◆Virtual Server — If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the
Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation.
Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP
address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number),
the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at
another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct
attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing
you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to
your network.
◆DMZ Host Support — Allows a networked computer to be fully
exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall
security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.
◆Security — The Barricade supports security features that deny
Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific
services the administrator does not want to serve. WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless
network.
◆Virtual Private Network (VPN) — The Barricade supports one of the
most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP. This protocol allows remote
users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If
your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be used
to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure
data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network). The
VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below.

2NETWORK PLANNING
The Wireless Broadband 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 bridge to connect
up to four wired LANs.
This chapter explains some of the basic features of the Wireless Broadband
Router and shows some network topology examples in which the device is
implemented.
INTERNET GATEWAY ROUTER
The Wireless Broadband 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 Wireless Broadband
Router either through a wired connection to a LAN port, or though the
device’s own wireless network. The Wireless Broadband Router functions as
an Internet gateway when set to Gateway Mode.
An Internet gateway employs several functions that essentially create 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.
C
HAPTER
2
| Network Planning
LAN Access Point
– 30 –
Figure 4: Operating as an Internet Gateway Router
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, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and static IP for
connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL
modem.
LAN ACCESS POINT
The Wireless Broadband Router can provide an access point service for an
existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The
Wireless Broadband 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 IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
for bridge connections between access points. The Wireless Broadband
Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.
Up to four WDS links can be specified for the Wireless Broadband Router.
One end of a link must be configured as the “WDS Parent” and the other as
the “WDS Child.”

MOUNTING ON A WALL
The Wireless Broadband Router should be mounted only to a wall or wood
surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount the
unit on a wall, always use its wall-mounting bracket. The unit must be
mounted with the RJ-45 cable connector oriented upwards to ensure
proper operation.
Figure 7: Wall Mounting
To mount on a wall, follow the instructions below.
1. Mark the position of the two screw holes on the wall. For concrete or
brick walls, you will need to drill holes and insert wall plugs for the
screws.
2. Insert the included screws into the holes, leaving about 0.08~0.12
inches (2-3 mm) clearance from the wall.
3. Line up the two mounting points on the unit with the screws in the wall,
then slide the unit down onto the screws until it is in a secured position.

DYNAMIC ROUTE ◆The Wireless Broadband Router supports RIP 1 and RIP 2 dynamic
routing protocol. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the most widely
used method for dynamically maintaining routing tables. RIP uses a
distance vector-based approach to routing. Routes are chosen to
minimize the distance vector, or hop count, which serves as a rough
estimate of transmission cost. Each router broadcasts its advertisement
every 30 seconds, together with any updates to its routing table. This
allows all routers on the network to build consistent tables of next hop
links which lead to relevant subnets.
◆RIP — Enables or disable the RIP protocol for the WAN or LAN
interface. (Options: Disable/v1/v2, Default: Disable)

Operation in the HT Physical Mode Setting menu be set to Mixed. Setting
HT Operation to Green Field is exclusive for 802.11n client communication
only and prevents 802.11 b/g communication.
■802.11b/g Mixed: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can
communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router (up to 108
Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate
for 802.11b clients. Any 802.11n clients will also be able to

◆HT Operation Mode — Packets from 802.11n clients are referred to as
High Throughput (HT) Greenfield packets, in other words packets that
can be transmitted at rates of up to 150 Mbps assuming that HT
Channel Bandwidth is set to 20/40Mhz, see HT Channel Bandwidth next
page.
N
OTE
:
Some 802.11n wireless clients may be capable of transmission rates
of up to 600 Mbps, however the Wireless Broadband Router will only be
able to connect to them at a maximum transmission rate of 150 Mbps.
802.11b/g packets are referred to as non-HT packets, being
transmitted at lower throughput rates. HT mixed format frames contain
a preamble compatible with the non-HT receivers. HT Greenfield frames
do not contain a non-HT compatible part. Support for HT Greenfield
format is optional. An HT station that does not support the reception of
an HT Greenfield format frame must be able to detect that an HT
Greenfield format frame is an HT transmission (as opposed to a non-HT
transmission). In this case the receiver must decode the high
throughput signal (HT-SIG) in the packet header and determine if the
HT-SIG cyclic redundancy check (CRC) passes. (Default: Mixed)

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
– 69 –
◆HT Channel Bandwidth — The Wireless Broadband Router provides a
channel bandwidth of 40 MHz by default giving an 802.11g connection
speed of 108 Mbps (sometimes referred to as Turbo Mode) and a
802.11n connection speed of up to 150 Mbps. Setting the HT Channel
Bandwidth to 20 MHz slows connection speed for 802.11g and 802.11n
to 54 Mbps and 74 Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance
for slower 802.11b devices. (Default: 20/40MHz)
◆Guard Interval — The guard interval between symbols helps receivers
overcome the effects of multipath delays. When you add a guard time,
the back portion of useful signal time is copied and appended to the
front. (Default: Auto)
◆MCS — The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that
determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels.
(Options: value [range] = 0~7 (1 Tx Stream), 8~15 (2 TxStream), 32
and auto (33). Default: auto)
◆Reverse Direction Grant (RDG) — When enables Reverse Direction
Grant, the Wireless Broadband Router can reduce the transmitted data
packet collision by using the reverse direction protocol. During TXOP
(Transmission Opportunity) period, the receiver could use remaining
transmission time to transmit data to a sender. The RDG improves
transmission performance and scalability in a wireless environment.
◆Extension Channel — When 20/40MHz channel bandwidth has been
set, the extension channel option will be enabled. The extension
channel will allow you to get extra bandwidth. (Options: 2417MHz/
Channel 2, 2457MHz/Channel 10. Default: 2457MHz/Channel 10.)
◆Aggregate MSDU (A-MSDU) — This option enables Mac Service Data
Unit (MSDU) aggregation. (Default: Disable)
◆Auto Block ACK — Select to block ACK (Acknowledge Number) or not
during data transferring.
◆Decline BA Request — Select to reject peer BA-Request or not.
WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (WDS)
The radio interface can be configured to operate in a mode that allows it to
forward traffic directly to other Wireless Gateway Router units. To set up
links between units, you must configure the Wireless Distribution System
(WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC address of all units
to which you want to forward traffic.
Traffic forwarded to WDS links is automatically converted to 802.11 four-
address format frame. This uses the MAC addresses of the station and that
of the AP connected to it on the transmitting LAN, and the MAC addresses
of the AP functioning as a wireless repeater/bridge and that of the station
connected to it on a neighboring LAN in the 802.11 frame header. Ethernet
traffic follows a three-address format that is reconstructed for WDS

transmission. The Wireless Broadband Router will reconstruct the frame
format upon receival and transmission using the criteria of the receiving
and forwarding port location and whether it is Ethernet or wireless in type.
N
OTE
:
The Wireless Broadband Router does not support the spanning tree
algorithm. WDS links should be configured appropriately to avoid causing
loops on the network.
Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network.
The WDS link can be configured in the following combinations:
1. Both two units are configured as Gateway Mode
2. One unit is Gateway Mode and one unit is Bridge Mode
3. Both two units are configured as Bridge Mode
When both units are set to Gateway Mode, be sure to check these settings:
◆Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address.
◆Be sure that only one unit has Internet access on its WAN port.
◆Be sure the DHCP server is enabled only on one unit. If one unit is
providing Internet access, enable the DHCP server on that unit.WDS
Configuration
The WDS settings configures WDS related parameters. Up to four MAC
addresses can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. WDS links
may either be manually configured (Bridge and Repeater modes) or auto-
discovered (Lazy mode).

■Disable: WDS is disabled.
■Lazy: Operates in an automatic mode that detects and learns WDS
peer addresses from received WDS four-address format frame
packets, without the need to configure a WDS MAC list entry. This
feature allows the Wireless Broadband Router to associate with
other Wireless Broadband Routers in the network and use their
WDS MAC list. In Lazy mode the Wireless Broadband Router sends a
beacon.
■Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic
between WDS links (links that connect to other AP/wireless bridges,
or units in Repeater or Lazy mode) and an Ethernet port. Only data
destined for stations which are known to be on the peer Ethernet
link, multicast data or data with unknown destinations, need to be
forwarded through the WDS link. The Bridge mode does not
transmit a beacon, unlike the other three modes. In this mode the
Wireless Broadband Router may also function as a repeater.
■Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for
remote wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to
the wired network. WDS peers must be registered with the Wireless
Broadband Router. Repeater mode also supports the dual capability
of the VAP functioning as an AP. In this mode, traffic is not
forwarded to the Ethernet port from the radio interface. In Repeater
mode the Wireless Broadband Router transmits a beacon.
WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease installation and activation
of security features in wireless networks. WPS has two basic modes of
operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and
provides more security. The WPS button on the Wireless Broadband Router

SYSTEM LOG
The Wireless Broadband Router supports a logging process that controls
error messages saved to memory or sent to a Syslog server. The logged
messages serve as a valuable tool for isolating Wireless Broadband Router
and network problems. The System Log page displays the latest messages
logged in chronological order, from the newest to the oldest. Log messages
saved in the Wireless Broadband Router’s memory are erased when the
device is rebooted.

CCABLES AND PINOUTS
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs
of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have
four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For
example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
N

C
AUTION
:
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
standards.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are
numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when
attaching the wires to the pins.

10/100BASE-TX PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for
RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 port on the access point supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all
network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable,
pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through
to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
STRAIGHT-THROUGH WIRING
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has
an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-
through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this
switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect
to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to
support Gigabit Ethernet connections.

The GPL code used in this product is distributed WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY and is subject to the
copyrights of one or more authors. For details, refer to the section "The GNU General Public License"
below, or refer to the applicable license as included in the source-code archive.
THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
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 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.
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
PPENDIX
D
| License Information
The GNU General Public License
– 105 –
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,
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.
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.

The GNU General Public License
– 106 –
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 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.

configuration.
LAN Local Area Network: A group of interconnected computers and support
devices.
MAC ADDRESS The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
NTP Network Time Protocol: 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
G

beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection
to the nearest access point.
ODFM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM allows multiple users to
transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow
bandwidth carriers.
SSID Service Set Identifier: 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.
SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol: 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.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol: A data encryption method designed as a
replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by
dynamically changing data encryption keys.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software
downloads.
VAP Virtual Access Point: 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 single
radio channel, enabling Virtual AP technology to optimize the use of limited
WLAN radio spectrum.
