2INSTALLING THE RG211
This chapter describes how to install the RG211.
LOCATION SELECTION
Choose 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.

MOUNTING ON A WALL
To mount on a wall follow the instructions below.
Figure 7: Wall Mounting
The 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,

CONNECTING AND POWERING ON
Connect the power adapter to the RG211, and the power cord to an AC
power outlet.
C
AUTION
:
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.
N
OTE
:
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.

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 Settings
The 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.

NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
Network 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.

The following items are displayed on the NAT page:
◆Active — Activates NAT.

Application Layer Gateway (ALG) traversal filters for SIP, H323, IRC, PPTP,
SNMP, and TFTP applications.

◆H.323 ALG — ITU-T standard that defines protocols used to provide
audio-visual communication sessions on any packet-based network. It

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 SERVER
If 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.

DEMILITARIZED ZONE (DMZ)
This page is used to allow a specified host on the local network to access
the Internet without any firewall protection. 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.

CCABLES AND PINOUTS
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS
For 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.
N
OTE
:
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation.
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.
Figure 40: RJ-45 Connector
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 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.

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.

CROSSOVER WIRING If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (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.
Figure 42: Crossover Wiring
CABLE TESTING FOR EXISTING CATEGORY 5 CABLE
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End
Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing
information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally,
cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-
End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-
TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for
100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch
cables between switches and end devices.

ADVANCED ENCRYPTION
STANDARD (AES)
An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES
provides very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering
algorithm to TKIP and WEP.
AUTHENTICATION The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access.
IEEE 802.11 specifies two forms of authentication: open system and
shared key.
BACKBONE The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that
transports information from one central location to another central location
where it is unloaded onto a local system.
BEACON A signal periodically transmitted from the CPE 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 CPE to generate a random
group key and periodically update all key-management capable wireless
clients.
DYNAMIC HOST
CONFIGURATION
PROTOCOL (DHCP)
Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a
TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding
the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and
additional configuration options.
ENCRYPTION Data passing between the CPE and clients can use encryption to protect
from interception and evesdropping.
G
LOSSARY

ETHERNET A popular local area data communications network, which accepts
transmission from computers and terminals.
FILE TRANSFER
PROTOCOL (FTP)
A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.
HYPERTEXT TRANSFER
PROTOCOL (HTTP)
HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World
Wide Web.
INFRASTRUCTURE An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure
configuration.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK
(LAN)
A group of interconnected computer and support devices.
MAC ADDRESS The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
NETWORK TIME
PROTOCOL (NTP)
NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The
time servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order
to synchronize local clocks within the subnet and to national time
standards via wire or radio.
OPEN SYSTEM A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the 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.
ORTHOGONAL
FREQUENCY DIVISION
MULTIPLEXING (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.
G
LOSSARY
– 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 TIME
PROTOCOL (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates
from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from
a specific NTP server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP
servers.
TEMPORAL KEY
INTEGRITY PROTOCOL
(TKIP)
A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids
the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption
keys.
TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER
PROTOCOL (TFTP)
A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
VIRTUAL 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 PROTECTED
ACCESS
WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and
dynamic key management to provide an enhanced security solution for
802.11 wireless networks.
WIRED EQUIVALENT
PRIVACY (WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from
network traffic.
WPA PRE-SHARED KEY
(WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of
users that may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a
simple security implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for
network access.
