– 22 –2INSTALLING THE RG211This chapter describes how to install the RG211.LOCATION SELECTIONChoose a proper place for the RG211. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the RG211 in a position that can best cover its service area. For optimum performance, consider these guidelines:◆Mount the RG211 as high as possible above any obstructions in the coverage area.◆Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the coverage area.◆Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those containing metal).The RG211 can be mounted on any horizontal surface, or a wall.
CHAPTER 2 | Installing the RG211Mounting on a Horizontal Surface– 23 –MOUNTING ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACETo keep the RG211 from sliding on the surface, the unit is provided with four attached rubber feet.Figure 6: Anti-slip FeetRubber Feet
CHAPTER 2 | Installing the RG211Mounting on a Wall– 24 –MOUNTING ON A WALLTo mount on a wall follow the instructions below.Figure 7: Wall MountingThe RG211 should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount the RG211 on a wall, always use its wall-mounting bracket. The RG211 must be mounted with the RJ-45 cable connector oriented upwards to ensure proper operation.1. Mark the position of the three 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 20-mm M4 tap screws into the holes, leaving about 2-3 mm clearance from the wall.3. Line up the three mounting points on the AP with the screws in the wall, then slide the AP down onto the screws until it is in a secured position.Mounting Slots
CHAPTER 2 | Installing the RG211Connecting and Powering On– 25 –CONNECTING AND POWERING ONConnect the power adapter to the RG211, and the power cord to an AC power outlet. CAUTION: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with this RG211. Otherwise, the product may be damaged.1. Observe the Self Test – When you power on the RG211, verify that the Power indicator turns on, and that the other indicators start functioning as described under “LED Indicators” on page 18.2. Connect the Ethernet Cable – The RG211 can be connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a network device such as a hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ-45 port on the back panel with Category 5E or better UTP Ethernet cable. When the RG211 and the connected device are powered on, the Ethernet Link LED should turn on indicating a valid network connection. NOTE: The RJ-45 ports on the RG211 supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs.3. Position the Antennas – Each antenna emits a radiation pattern that is toroidal (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in the direction perpendicular to the antenna. Therefore, the antennas should be oriented so that the radio coverage pattern fills the intended horizontal space. Also, the antennas should both be positioned along the same axes, providing the same coverage area. For example, if the RG211 is mounted on a horizontal surface, all antennas should be positioned pointing vertically up to provide optimum coverage.
– 26 –3INITIAL CONFIGURATIONThe RG211 offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all the unit’s features.

CHAPTER 4 | System SettingsSystem Settings– 32 –SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the CPE to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the CPE enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not set, the CPE will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.The CPE acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending time synchronization requests to specific time servers. You can configure up to two time server IP addresses. The CPE will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.Figure 13: SNTP SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆NTP — Configures the CPE to operate as an SNTP client. (Default: Enabled)◆NTP Server IP Address — The IP address of an SNTP or NTP time server that the CPE attempts to poll for a time update. ◆Update Period — The interval at which the client sends a time update request to the SNTP or NTP server.◆Time Zone — SNTP uses Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT (sometimes referred to as Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC) based on the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display a time corresponding to your local time, you must indicate the number of hours your time zone is located before (east) or after (west) GMT.Select from the scroll down list the locale you are situated most close to, for example for New York, select ‘(GMT-05) Eastern Time (US & Canada)’.

– 46 –7NAT SETTINGSThis chapter describes NAT settings on the CPE. It includes the following sections:◆“Network Address Translation” on page 46◆“Virtual Server” on page 47◆“Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)” on page 48NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATIONNetwork Address Translation (NAT) is a method of mapping between a single global address on the WAN interface to multiple local addresses on the LAN interface. For the Gateway, the internal (local) IP addresses are those assigned to PCs or other network devices by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the single address assigned to the WAN port.Figure 23: Network Address TranslationThe following items are displayed on the NAT page:◆Active — Activates NAT.ALG Setup — This page is used to enable or disable customized Application Layer Gateway (ALG) traversal filters for SIP, H323, IRC, PPTP, SNMP, and TFTP applications.◆FTP ALG — File Transfer Protocol.◆H.323 ALG — ITU-T standard that defines protocols used to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet-based network. It
CHAPTER 7 | NAT SettingsVirtual Server– 47 –is widely deployed by service providers to support both voice and video services over IP networks.◆PPTP ALG — Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a method for implementing virtual private networks.◆IPSec ALG — Internet Protocol Security is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a data stream.VIRTUAL SERVERIf you configure the CPE as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web sites or FTP servers on your local network through public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (designated by the TCP/UDP port number), the CPE redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at an 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 local network services.For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.The more common TCP service port numbers include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.Figure 24: Virtual Server

Some Internet applications, such as interactive games or videoconferencing, may not function properly behind the CPE’s firewall. By specifying a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) host, the PC's TCP ports are completely exposed to the Internet, allowing unrestricted two-way communications. The host PC should be assigned a static IP address and this address configured as the DMZ host IP.Figure 25: DMZThe following items are displayed on the DMZ page:◆Active — Actives the DMZ service.◆IP Address — Specify an IP address to allow access to.

– 75 –CCABLES AND PINOUTSTWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTSFor 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two 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 40: RJ-45 Connector10/100BASE-TX PINASSIGNMENTSUse 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 CPE 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.8118

Dynamic broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the CPE to generate a random group key and periodically update all key-management capable wireless clients.DYNAMIC HOSTCONFIGURATIONPROTOCOL (DHCP)Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options.ENCRYPTION Data passing between the CPE and clients can use encryption to protect from interception and evesdropping.
GLOSSARY– 79 –ETHERNET A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals.FILE TRANSFERPROTOCOL (FTP)A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.HYPERTEXT TRANSFERPROTOCOL (HTTP)HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.INFRASTRUCTURE An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.LOCAL AREA NETWORK(LAN)A group of interconnected computer and support devices.MAC ADDRESS The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.NETWORK TIMEPROTOCOL (NTP)NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The time servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.OPEN SYSTEM A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the CPE’s configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest CPE.ORTHOGONALFREQUENCY DIVISIONMULTIPLEXING (ODFM)OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER(SSID)An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and functions as a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).SESSION KEY Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a client connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the CPE.
GLOSSARY – 80 –SHARED KEY A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless network. Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.SIMPLE NETWORK TIMEPROTOCOL (SNTP)SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.TEMPORAL KEYINTEGRITY PROTOCOL(TKIP)A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFERPROTOCOL (TFTP)A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.VIRTUAL CPE (VAP) Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of CPEs 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 CPEs 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.WIRED EQUIVALENTPRIVACY (WEP)WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic.WPA PRE-SHARED KEY(WPA-PSK)WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of users that may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a simple security implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for network access.
