– 17 –1INTRODUCTIONThe Pareto Networks BG-100 Branch Services Gateway (BG-100) supports routing from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) connection (DSL or cable modem) to a local network. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.KEY HARDWARE FEATURESThe following table describes the main hardware features of the Gateway.DESCRIPTION OF CAPABILITIES◆Internet connection through an RJ-45 WAN port.◆Local network connection through one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port.◆DHCP for dynamic IP configuration.◆Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, and NAT.◆NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as Web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet).◆VPN passthrough (IPsec, PPTP, or L2TP).Table 1: Key Hardware Features Feature DescriptionWAN Port One 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port for connecting to the Internet.LAN Port One 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port for local network connections.USB Port One USB slot for a 3G or 3.5G modem.WPS Button To set up a secure connection to a wireless device.Reset Button For resetting the unit and restoring factory defaults.LEDs Provides LED indicators for Power, WAN port, LAN port, and WLAN status.Mounting Options Can be mounted on any horizontal surface such as a desktop or shelf, or on a wall using two screws.
CHAPTER 1 | IntroductionDescription of Capabilities– 18 –◆User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections.◆Easy setup and management through an easy-to-use web browser interface on any operating system that supports TCP/IP.◆Compatible with all popular Internet applications.APPLICATIONS Many advanced networking features are provided by the Gateway:◆Wired LAN — The Gateway provides connectivity to wired Ethernet 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, PPTP, or L2TP to establish communications with end users, the Gateway includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.◆Shared IP Address — The Gateway provides Internet access for up to 253 users using a single shared IP address account.◆Virtual Server — If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Gateway to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a static IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Gateway 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 Gateway supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.◆Virtual Private Network (VPN) Passthrough — The Gateway supports the passthrough of three of the most commonly used VPN protocols – IPsec, PPTP, and L2TP. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to another 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 (that is, a traditionally shared data network). The VPN-passthrough protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below.
CHAPTER 1 | IntroductionPackage Contents– 19 –■IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) — Encrypts and authenticates entire IP packets and encapsulates them into new IP packets for secure communications between networks.■PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) — Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs. ■L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) — Merges the best features of PPTP and the Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) protocol. Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.PACKAGE CONTENTSThe Pareto Networks BG-100 Branch Services Gateway package includes:◆BG-100 Branch Services Gateway◆RJ-45 Category 5 network cable◆AC power adapter◆Quick Installation Guide◆EZ Installation & Documentation CDInform your dealer if there are any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them again to repack the product in case there is a need to return it.HARDWARE DESCRIPTIONThe Pareto Networks BG-100 Branch Services Gateway, from herein refered to as the Gateway, connects to the Internet through its RJ-45 WAN port. It connects directly to your PC or to a local area network using its RJ-45 Fast Ethernet LAN port.The Gateway includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting.

CHAPTER 1 | IntroductionHardware Description– 22 –ETHERNET WAN PORT A 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached to an Internet access device, such as a DSL or Cable modem.ETHERNET LAN PORT The Gateway has one 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached directly to a PC or 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments. This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. 3G MODEM USBPORTThe 3G Modem USB Port supports connection to a wireless cellular 3G or 3.5G modem for broadband Internet access.POWER CONNECTOR The Gateway must be powered with its supplied power adapter. Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied with the product. The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100~240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz, and supplies 12 volts DC power to the unit. No voltage range settings are required. WPS BUTTON Press the WPS button to automatically configure the Gateway with other WPS devices in the WLAN.RESET BUTTON The Reset button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the Gateway.Figure 4: Bottom PanelReset Button
– 23 –2NETWORK PLANNINGThe Gateway 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 Gateway and shows some network topology examples in which the device is implemented. INTERNET GATEWAY ROUTERThe Gateway 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 Gateway either through a wired connection to a LAN port, or though the device’s own wireless network. The Gateway functions as an Internet gateway when set to Router 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.Figure 5: Operating as an Internet Gateway RouterThe 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 Mini RouterServer(IP: 192.168.2.x)Desktop PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)Cable/DSLModemInternetServiceProviderNotebook PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)WAN (IP assigned from ISP)LAN (IP: 192.168.2.x)LAN Switch3G InternetServiceProvider3G Modem
CHAPTER 2 | Network PlanningLAN Access Point– 24 –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), PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), and static IP for connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem.The 3G Modem link can provide a backup Internet connection with automatic failover and fallback to the primary WAN connection.LAN ACCESS POINTThe Gateway can provide an access point service for an existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The Gateway 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.Figure 6: Operating as an Access PointServer(IP: 192.168.2.x)Desktop PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)LAN SwitchNotebook PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)Mini Router
CHAPTER 2 | Network PlanningWireless Bridge– 25 –WIRELESS BRIDGEThe IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points. The Gateway can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.Up to four WDS links can be specified for the Gateway. The WDS feature enables two basic functions to be configured in the wireless network. Either a repeater function that extends the range of the wireless network, or a bridge function that connects a remote LAN segment to an Internet connection.Figure 7: Operating as a Wireless BridgeFigure 8: Operating as a Wireless RepeaterDesktop PCCable/DSLModemMini Router(Bridge Mode)WDS LinkInternetServiceProviderMini Router(Router Mode)Desktop PCCable/DSLModemMini Router(Bridge Mode)WDS LinkInternetServiceProviderNotebook PCMini Router(Router Mode)Notebook PC
– 26 –3INSTALLING THE MINI 3G ROUTERThe Gateway has two basic operating modes that can be set through the web-based management interface. For information on setting the mode suitable for your network environment. See “Operation Mode” on page 50.◆Router Mode — A 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, the wireless interface supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links to other Gateways. These advanced configurations are not described in this section. See “Network Planning” on page 23 for more information.In a basic configuration, how the Gateway is connected depends on the operating mode. The sections in this chapter describe connections for basic Router Mode and Bridge Mode operation.SYSTEM REQUIREMENTSYou must meet the following minimum requirements:◆An Internet access device (DSL or Cable modem) with an Ethernet port connection.◆An up-to-date web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Mini 3G RouterMounting the Device– 27 –MOUNTING THE DEVICEThe Gateway can be mounted on any horizontal surface, or on a wall. The following sections describe the mounting options.MOUNTING ON A WALL The Gateway 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 slots. Figure 9: Wall MountingTo 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 two 20-mm M4 tap screws (not included) into the holes, leaving about 2~3 mm (0.08~0.12 inches) 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.MOUNTING ON AHORIZONTAL SURFACETo keep the Gateway from sliding on the surface, the unit has four rubber feet on its base.It is recommended to select an uncluttered area on a sturdy surface, such as a desktop or table. The unit can also be protected by securing all attached cables to a table leg or other nearby fixed structure.Mounting Slots

CHAPTER 6 | Network SettingsAdvanced Routing– 66 –ADVANCED ROUTINGRouting setup allows a manual method to set up routing between networks. The network administrator configures static routes by entering routes directly into the routing table. Static routing has the advantage of being predictable and easy to configure. ADVANCED ROUTINGSETTINGSThis screen is used to manually configure static routes to other IP networks, subnetworks, or hosts. Click “Network Settings” followed by “Advanced Routing.” (Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)Figure 37: Advanced Routing (Router Mode)
CHAPTER 6 | Network SettingsAdvanced Routing– 67 –The following items are displayed on this page:◆Destination — A destination network or specific host to which packets can be routed.◆Type — Defines the type of destination. (Options: Host/Net, Default: Host)◆Gateway — The IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames are forwarded.◆Interface — The selected interface to which a static routing subnet is to be applied.◆Comment — Enters a useful comment to help identify this route.ROUTING TABLE This page displays the information necessary to forward a packet along the best path toward its destination. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match for its destination. The table then provides the device with instructions for sending the packet to the next hop on its route across the network.NOTE: The Routing Table is only available when the Gateway is set to Router Mode.◆Destination — Displays all destination networks or specific hosts to which packets can be routed.◆Netmask — Displays the subnetwork associated with the destination.◆Gateway — Displays the IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames are forwarded.◆Flags — Flags – Possible flags identify as below■0: reject route■1: route is up■3: route is up, use gateway■5: route is up, target is a host■7: route is up, use gateway, target is a host◆Metric — A number used to indicate the cost of the route so that the best route, among potentially multiple routes to the same destination, can be selected.
CHAPTER 6 | Network SettingsAdvanced Routing– 68 –◆Ref — Number of references to this route.◆Use — Count of lookups for the route.◆Interface — Interface to which packets for this route will be sent.◆Comment — Displays a useful comment to identify the routing rules.DYNAMIC ROUTE ◆The Gateway 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)
– 69 –7WIRELESS CONFIGURATIONThe wireless settings section displays configuration settings for the access point functionality of the Gateway. It includes the following sections:◆“Basic Settings” on page 69◆“Advanced Settings” on page 73◆“WLAN Security” on page 79◆“Wireless Distribution System (WDS)” on page 86◆“Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)” on page 89◆“Station List” on page 92BASIC SETTINGSThe IEEE 802.11n interface includes configuration options for radio signal characteristics and wireless security features. The Gateway’s radio can operate in six modes, mixed 802.11b/g/n, mixed 802.11b/g, mixed 802.11g/n, 802.11n only, 802.11b only, or 802.11g only. Note that 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b, and 802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11b/g at slower data transmit rates.The Gateway supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces. One VAP is the primary (Network Name SSID), and the other one is referred to as "Multiple SSID1." Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to all VAP interfaces.Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or application traffic. All VAPs can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a physical access point.NOTE: The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.The Basic Settings page allows you to configure the wireless network name (Service Set Identifier or SSID) and set the wireless security method.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationBasic Settings– 70 –Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Basic.”Figure 38: Basic SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Wireless On/Off — Enables or Disable the radio. (Default: Enable)◆Network Mode — Defines the radio operating mode. (Default: 11g/n Mixed)■11b/g mixed: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the Gateway (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 communicate with the Gateway, but they will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates.■11b only: All 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Gateway, but the 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11b protocols and data transmission rates (up to 11 Mbps).■11g only: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Gateway, but the 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates (up to 54 Mbps). Any 802.11b clients will not be able to communicate with the Gateway.■11n only: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Gateway (up to 150 Mbps).
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationBasic Settings– 71 –■11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate with the Gateway (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g clients.■11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the Gateway (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.◆Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service provided by the Gateway. Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Gateway. (Default: “SMCWBR11S-3GN_AP”; Range: 1-32 characters)◆Multiple SSID1 — One additional VAP interface supported on the device. (Default: no name configured; Range: 1-32 characters)◆Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Gateway always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect. When set to disable, the Network Name SSID, and SSID1 are automatically set to “Hide.” (Default: Enabled)◆AP Isolation — The Gateway will isolate communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)◆MBSSID AP Isolation — The Gateway will isolate wireless clients from different SSID.◆BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Gateway in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.◆Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the Gateway 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 Gateway to which it is linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the Gateway to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationBasic Settings– 72 –HT PHYSICAL MODESETTINGSThe HT Physical Mode section on the Wireless Settings Advanced page includes additional parameters for 802.11n operation.Figure 39: HT Physical Mode SettingsThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆HT Channel Bandwidth — The Gateway 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: 20MHz)◆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 Reverse Direction Grant is enabled, the Gateway 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: AutoSelect.)
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 73 –◆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.ADVANCED SETTINGSThe Advanced Settings page includes additional parameters concerning the wireless network and Wi-Fi Multimedia settings.NOTE: There are several variables to consider when selecting a radio mode that make it fully functional. Simply selecting the mode you want is not enough to ensure full compatibility for that mode. Information on these variables may be found in the HT Physcial Mode Setting section.ADVANCED WIRELESS The Advanced Wireless section on the Wireless Settings Advanced page includes additional radio parameters.Figure 40: Advanced Wireless SettingsThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆BG Protection Mode — Enables a backward compatible protection mechanism for 802.11b clients. There are three modes: (Default: Auto)
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 74 –■Auto — The unit enables its protection mechanism for 802.11b clients when they are detected in the network. When 802.11b clients are not detected, the protection mechanism is disabled.■On — Forces the unit to always use protection for 802.11b clients, whether they are detected in the network or not. Note that enabling b/g Protection can slow throughput for 802.11g/n clients by as much as 50%.■Off — Forces the unit to never use protection for 802.11b clients. This prevents 802.11b clients from connecting to the network.◆Beacon Interval — The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the access point. They may also carry power-management information. (Range: 20-999 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)◆Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) — The rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions. Known also as the Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) interval, it indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic, which is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode. The default value of one beacon indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames. (Range: 1-255 beacons; Default: 1 beacon)◆Fragmentation Threshold – Configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the access point. Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)◆RTS Threshold — Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications. The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data.If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 75 –threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.The access points contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Range: 1-2347 bytes: Default: 2347 bytes)◆Short Preamble — Sets the length of the signal preamble that is used at the start of a data transmission. Use a short preamble (96 microseconds) to increase data throughput when it is supported by all connected 802.11g clients. Use a long preamble (192 microseconds) to ensure all 802.11b clients can connect to the network. (Default: Disabled)◆Short Slot — Sets the basic unit of time the access point uses for calculating waiting times before data is transmitted. A short slot time (9 microseconds) can increase data throughput on the access point, but requires that all clients can support a short slot time (that is, 802.11g-compliant clients must support a short slot time). A long slot time (20 microseconds) is required if the access point has to support 802.11b clients. (Default: Enabled)◆TX Burst — A performance enhancement that transmits a number of data packets at the same time when the feature is supported by compatible clients. (Default: Enabled)◆Packet Aggregate — A performance enhancement that combines data packets together when the feature is supported by compatible clients. (Default: Enabled)WI-FI MULTIMEDIA The Gateway implements Quality of Service (QoS) using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using WMM, the access point 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 access points to interoperate with both WMM-enabled clients and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.WMM defines four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Ta b l e 3 ). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate interoperability with other wired network QoS policies. While the four ACs are specified for specific types of traffic, WMM allows the priority levels to be configured to match any network-wide QoS policy. WMM also specifies a protocol that access points can use to communicate the configured traffic priority levels to QoS-enabled wireless clients.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 76 –The Wi-Fi Multimedia section on the Wireless Settings Advanced page allows you to enable WMM and set detailed QoS parameters.Figure 41: Wi-Fi Multimedia SettingsThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆WMM — Sets the WMM operational mode on the access point. When enabled, the QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients in the network. WMM must be supported on any device trying to associated with the access point. Devices that do not support this feature will not be allowed to associate with the access point. (Default: Enabled)◆APSD — When WMM is enabled, Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) can also be enabled. APSD is an efficient power management method that enables client devices sending WMM packets to enter a low-power sleep state between receiving and transmitting data. (Default: Disabled)◆WMM Parameters — Click the WMM Configuration button to set detailed WMM parameters.Table 3: WMM Access CategoriesAccess CategoryWMM DesignationDescription 802.1D TagsAC_VO (AC3) Voice Highest priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP (Voice over IP) calls.7, 6AC_VI (AC2) Video High priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as streaming video.5, 4AC_BE (AC0) Best Effort Normal priority, medium delay and throughput. Data only affected by long delays. Data from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities.0, 3AC_BK (AC1) Background Lowest priority. Data with no delay or throughput requirements, such as bulk data transfers.2, 1
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 77 –Figure 42: WMM ConfigurationThe following items are displayed in the WMM Configuration window:◆AIFSN (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space) — The minimum amount of wait time before the next data transmission attempt. Specify the AIFS value in the range 0-15 microseconds. ◆CWMin (Minimum Contention Window) — The initial upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The initial wait time is a random value between zero and the CWMin value. Specify the CWMin value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMin value must be equal or less than the CWMax value.◆CWMax (Maximum Contention Window) — The maximum upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The contention window is doubled after each detected collision up to the CWMax value. Specify the CWMax value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMax value must be greater or equal to the CWMin value. ◆Txop (Transmit Opportunity Limit) — The maximum time an AC transmit queue has access to the wireless medium. When an AC queue is granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit data for a time up to the TxOpLimit. This data bursting greatly improves the efficiency for high data-rate traffic. Specify a value in the range 0-65535 microseconds.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationAdvanced Settings– 78 –◆ACM — The admission control mode for the access category. When enabled, clients are blocked from using the access category. (Default: Disabled) ◆AckPolicy — By default, all wireless data transmissions require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC) 0-3. Although this increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy. (Default: Acknowledge)MULTICAST-TO-UNICAST CONVERTERThe Multicast-to-Unicast Converter section on the Wireless Settings Advanced page allows you to enable multicast traffic conversion.Converting multicast traffic to unicast before sending to wireless clients allows a longer DTIM (Data Beacon Rate) interval to be set. A longer DTIM interval prevents clients in power-save mode having to activate their radios to receive the multicast data, which saves battery life.Figure 43: Multicast-to-Unicast ConverterThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆Multicast-to-Unicast — Enables multicast traffic streams to be converted to unicast traffic before delivery to wireless clients. (Default: Disabled)
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWLAN Security– 79 –WLAN SECURITYThe Gateway’s wireless interface is configured by default as an “open system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the wireless network.To implement wireless network security, you have to employ one or both of the following functions:◆Authentication — It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the network are authorized users.◆Traffic Encryption — Data passing between the unit and clients must be protected from interception and eavesdropping.The Gateway supports supports ten different security mechanisms that provide various levels of authentication and encryption depending on the requirements of the network.The Gateway supports two SSID interfaces. Each SSID interface functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own security settings.Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Basic”.Figure 44: Security Mode Options
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWLAN Security– 80 –The supported security mechanisms and their configuration parameters are described in the following sections:◆OPEN, SHARED, WEP-AUTO — See “Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)” on page 80◆WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK_WPA2-PSK — See “WPA Pre-Shared Key” on page 81◆WPA, WPA2, WPA1_WPA2 — See “WPA Enterprise Mode” on page 82◆802.1X — See “IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS” on page 84WIRED EQUIVALENTPRIVACY (WEP)WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network, and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network.When you select to use WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication or data encryption. Also, be sure that the WEP shared keys are the same for each client in the wireless network.Figure 45: Security Mode - WEPThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:Security Mode — Configures the WEP security mode used by clients. When using WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for the Gateway and all its clients. (Default: Disable)◆OPEN — Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect the Gateway without verifying its identity. In this mode the default data encryption type is “WEP.” ◆SHARED — The shared-key security uses a WEP key to authenticate clients connecting to the network and for data encryption.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWLAN Security– 81 –◆WEP-AUTO — Allows wireless clients to connect to the network using Open-WEP (uses WEP for encryption only) or Shared-WEP (uses WEP for authentication and encryption). ◆Encrypt Type — Selects WEP for data encryption (OPEN mode only).◆Default Key — Selects the WEP key number to use for authentication or data encryption. If wireless clients have all four WEP keys configured to the same values, you can change the encryption key to any of the settings without having to update the client keys. (Default: 1; Range: 1~4)◆WEP Keys 1 ~ 4 — Sets WEP key values. The user must first select ASCII or hexadecimal keys. Each WEP key has an index number. Enter key values that match the key type and length settings. Enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or enter 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys. (Default: Hex, no preset value)WPA PRE-SHAREDKEYWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the adoption of a more robust wireless security standard. WPA2 includes the complete wireless security standard, but also offers backward compatibility with WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 provide an “enterprise” and “personal” mode of operation.For small home or office networks, WPA and WPA2 provide a simple “personal” operating mode that uses just a pre-shared key for network access. The WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode uses a common password phrase for user authentication that is manually entered on the access point and all wireless clients. Data encryption keys are automatically generated by the access point and distributed to all clients connected to the network.Figure 46: Security Mode - WPA-PSKThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:Security Mode — Configures the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security modes used by clients. When using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, be sure to define the shared key for the Gateway and all its clients. (Default: Disable)◆WPA-PSK — Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type for WPA is TKIP.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWLAN Security– 82 –◆WPA2-PSK — Clients using WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type for WPA is AES.◆WPA-PSK_WPA2-PSK — Clients using WPA or WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type is TKIP/AES.◆WPA Algorithms — Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default is determined by the Security Mode selected.)■TKIP — Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.■AES — Uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2 uses AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128-bit key. Use of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. Before implementing WPA2 in the network, be sure client devices are upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.■TKIP/AES — Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA and WPA2 mixed modes allow both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common SSID. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption type (TKIP or AES) is negotiated for each client.◆Pass Phrase — The WPA Preshared Key can be input as an ASCII string (an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers that can include spaces) or Hexadecimal format. (Range: 8~63 ASCII characters, or exactly 64 Hexadecimal digits)◆Key Renewal Interval — Sets the time period for automatically changing data encryption keys and redistributing them to all connected clients. (Default: 3600 seconds)WPA ENTERPRISEMODEWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the adoption of a more robust wireless security standard. WPA2 includes the complete wireless security standard, but also offers backward compatibility with WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 provide an “enterprise” and “personal” mode of operation.For enterprise deployment, WPA and WPA2 use IEEE 802.1X for user authentication and require a RADIUS authentication server to be configured on the wired network. Data encryption keys are automatically generated and distributed to all clients connected to the network.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWLAN Security– 83 –Figure 47: Security Mode - WPAThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:Security Mode — Configures the WPA and WPA2 security modes used by clients. When using WPA or WPA2, be sure there is a RADIUS server in the connected wired network, and that the RADIUS settings are configured. See “IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS” on page 84 for more information. (Default: Disable)◆WPA — Clients using WPA with an 802.1X authentication method are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type for WPA is TKIP.◆WPA2 — Clients using WPA2 with an 802.1X authentication method are accepted for authentication.

In mixed mode, the unicast encryption type (TKIP or AES) is negotiated for each client.◆Key Renewal Interval — Sets the time period for automatically changing data encryption keys and redistributing them to all connected clients. (Default: 3600 seconds)◆PMK Cache Period — WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security information in a cache, so that if a client roams away from an access point and then returns reauthentication is not required. This parameter sets the time for deleting the cached WPA2 Pairwise Master Key (PMK) security information. (Default: 10 minutes)◆Pre-Authentication — When using WPA2, pre-authentication can be enabled that allows clients to roam to another access point and be quickly associated without performing full 802.1X authentication. (Default: Disabled)IEEE 802.1X ANDRADIUSIEEE 802.1X is a standard framework for network access control that uses a central RADIUS server for user authentication. This control feature prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring an 802.1X client application to submit user credentials for authentication. The 802.1X standard uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to pass user credentials (either digital certificates, user names and passwords, or other) from the client to the RADIUS server. Client authentication is then verified on the RADIUS server before the client can access the network.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 network access.The WPA and WPA2 enterprise security modes use 802.1X as the method of user authentication. IEEE 802.1X can also be enabled on its own as a security mode for user authentication. When 802.1X is used, a RADIUS server must be configured and be available on the connected wired network.NOTE: This guide assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to support the access point. Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this guide, refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software.

When enabled, WEP encryption keys are automatically generated by the RADIUS server and distributed to all connected clients. (Default: Disabled)RADIUS Server — Configures RADIUS server settings.◆IP Address — Specifies the IP address of the RADIUS server.◆Port — The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used by the RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default: 1812)◆Shared Secret — A shared text string used to encrypt messages between the access point 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. (Maximum length: 20 characters)◆Session Timeout — Number of seconds the access point waits for a reply from the RADIUS server before resending a request. (Range: 1-60 seconds; Default: 0)◆Idle Timeout — Sets the maximum time (in seconds) of client inactivity before a session is terminated.
CHAPTER 7 | Wireless ConfigurationWireless Distribution System (WDS)– 86 –ACCESS POLICY The Gateway provides a MAC address filtering facility. The access policy can be set to allow or reject specific station MAC addresses. This feature can be used to connect known wireless devices that may not be able to support the configured security mode.Figure 49: Access PolicyThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆Access Policy — The access policy can be set to allow or reject specific station MAC addresses. ◆Add a station MAC — Enter the MAC address of the station that you want to filter. MAC addresses must be entered in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (WDS)The radio interface can be configured to operate in a mode that allows it to forward traffic directly to other Gateway units. This feature can be used to extend the range of the wireless network to reach remote clients, or to link disconnected network segments to an Internet connection.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.NOTE: All units in a WDS wireless network must be configured with the same SSID and use the same radio channel. Also each WDS link must be configured with the same encryption key on both units in the link.Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. The following figures illustrate an example WDS network. Figure 50 shows the manual set up of MAC addresses for units in the WDS network. Figure 51 shows the basic configuration required on each unit in the WDS network.

This feature allows the Gateway to associate with other Gateways in the network and use their WDS MAC list. Lazy mode requires one other Gateway within the wireless network that is configured in Bridge or Repeater mode, and has a configured MAC address list.■Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links (links that connect to other units in Repeater or Lazy mode). The MAC addresses of WDS peers must be configured on the Gateway.■Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for remote wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to the wired network. The MAC addresses of WDS peers must be configured on the Gateway.◆Physical — The radio media coding used on all WDS links. CCK corresponds to 11b, OFDM corresponds to 11g, and HTMIX corresponds to 11n.◆Encryption Type — The data encryption used on the WDS link. Be sure that both ends of a WDS link are configured with the same encryption type and key. (Options: None, WEP, TKIP, AES. Default: None)◆Encryption Key — The encryption key for the WDS link. The key type and length varies depending on the encryption type selected. For WEP, enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys. For TKIP or AES, enter a password key phrase of between 8 to 63 ASCII characters, which can include spaces, or specify exactly 64 hexadecimal digits.◆AP MAC Address — The MAC address of the other Gateway in the WDS link. 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 Gateway can be pressed at any time to allow a single device to easily join the network.The WPS Settings page includes configuration options for setting WPS device PIN codes and activating the virtual WPS button.Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “WPS”.

APPENDIX A | TroubleshootingBefore Contacting Technical Support– 116 –BEFORE CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORTCheck the following items before you contact local Technical Support.1. If the Gateway cannot be configured using a web browser:■Be sure to have configured the Gateway with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.■Check that you have a valid network connection to the Gateway and that the Ethernet port or the wireless interface that you are using has not been disabled.■If you are connecting to the Gateway through the wired Ethernet interface, check the network cabling between the management station and the Gateway. If you are connecting to Gateway from a wireless client, ensure that you have a valid connection. 2. If you forgot or lost the password:■Set the Gateway to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 5 seconds or more. Then use the default user name “admin” and password “smcadmin” to access the management interface.3. If all other recovery measure fail, and the Gateway is still not functioning properly, take any of these steps:■Reset the Gateway’s hardware using the web interface, or through a power reset.

– 119 –CCABLES AND PINOUTSTWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTSFor 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. NOTE: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation.CAUTION: 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.Figure 70: RJ-45 Connector8118
APPENDIX C | Cables and Pinouts10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments– 120 –10/100BASE-TX PIN ASSIGNMENTSUse 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 ports on the Gateway support 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 WIRINGIf 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.Table 5: 10/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X Port PinoutsPIN MDI Signal Nameaa.

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 LICENSEGNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 2, June 1991Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USAEveryone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.PreambleThe 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.
APPENDIX D | License InformationThe GNU General Public License– 123 –GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION1. 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:
APPENDIX D | License InformationThe GNU General Public License– 124 –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.
APPENDIX D | License InformationThe GNU General Public License– 125 –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 WARRANTY1. 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.END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility. AES Advanced Encryption Standard: 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. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on
GLOSSARY– 127 –the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options.ENCRYPTION Data passing between the access point and clients can use encryption to protect from interception and evesdropping.ETHERNET A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. FTP File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer. HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol: HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.IEEE 802.11BA 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 802.11GA wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz band using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides for data rates of 6, 9, 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. 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 beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access point.
GLOSSARY– 128 – 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.WI-FI PROTECTEDACCESSWPA 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. WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy: 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.
GLOSSARY– 129 –WPA-PSK WPA Pre-shared Key: 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.
