It also includes the minimum prerequisites for installation (“System Requirements” on page 1-4.), package contents (“What’s In the Box?” on page 1-5) and a description of the front and back panels of the MaxR-3210 (“Hardware Description” on page 1-5). About the MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point The MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point is the basic building block of a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. The MaxR-3210 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points can handle between 10 to 30 users simultaneously per radio. The MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Points via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network. Key Features and Standards The MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual Supported Standards and Conventions The following standards and conventions are supported: • Standards Compliance. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards for Wireless LANs. • Full WPA and WPA2 support. WPA and WPA2 enterprise-class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation.WPAPSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong security of WPA. • Multiple BSSIDs. Supports multiple BSSIDs. When a Access Point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device tries to connect to the network. The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to 8 SSIDs on your MaxR-3210 access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured SSIDs are active and the network devices can connect to the access point by using any of these SSIDs. • DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The MaxR-3210 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHCP server; it can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for wireless clients. • SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) management. • 802.1Q VLAN (Virtual LAN) Support. A network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they actually may be physically located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. VLANs are very useful for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization. Key Features The MaxR-3210 provides solid functionality, including the following features: • 2.4Ghz Band Operating Frequency. The Wireless Access Point operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. • Multiple operating modes: – Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/bg/ng access point. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual – Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the MaxR-3210 only communicates with another bridge-mode wireless access point (with or without clients). Network authentication should be used to protect this communication. – Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this MaxR-3210 is the “Master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless access points. The other bridge-mode wireless access points send all traffic to this “Master”, and do not communicate directly with each other. Network Authentication should be used to protect this traffic. • Hotspot Settings. You can allow the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request, on client association, to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify. • Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily, using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. In addition to using Web browser to do so, command-line interface and SNMP can also be used. • Rogue AP detection. The Rogue AP detection feature shows a list of unknown APs to the administrator. • Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the MaxR-3210 to gain access to your LAN. • Security Profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings (encryption, SSID, etc.) for each BSSID. • Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Secure Telnet Command Line Interface. The secure Telnet command line interface enables direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple MaxR3210s across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. An SSH client is required. • Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored. • Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the MaxR-3210 over the Ethernet port from any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source. • Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED Indicators. Power/Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity for each radio mode are easily identified. • Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Timedependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual • WMM Power Save Support. Power Save uses mechanisms from 802.11e and legacy 802.11 to save power (for battery powered equipment) and fine-tune power consumption. • VLAN Security Profiles. Each Security Profile can be assigned a VLAN ID as each Security Profile is modified. 802.11b/g/n Standards-based Wireless Networking The MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11b/g/n compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. Additionally, the MaxR-3210 supports the following wireless features: • Aggregation Support • Reduced Inter Frame Spacing support • Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) support • Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, Back off procedure, ACK procedure, retransmission of unacknowledged frames) • RTS/CTS handshake • Beacon generation • Packet fragmentation and reassembly • Auto or long preamble • Roaming among access points on the same subnet Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink The MaxR-3210 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The access point incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. The Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a “normal” connection such as to a computer or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. System Requirements Before installing the MaxR-3210, make sure your system meets these requirements: • A 10/100/1000 Mbps Local Area Network device such as a hub or switch Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual • • • • • The Category 5 UTP straight through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the package, or one like it A 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz AC power source A Web browser for configuration such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Mozilla 3.0 or above At least one computer with the TCP/IP protocol installed 802.11b/g/n-compliant devices.

Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 Chapter 2 Basic Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to set up your MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point for wireless connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable computers with 802.11b/ g/n wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the Internet, or access printers and files on your LAN. Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/bg/ng wireless networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in “Understanding Security Profiles” on page 2-18. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. This chapter contains the following sections: 1. “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines 2. “Understanding MaxR-3210 Wireless Security Options 3. “Installing the MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point 4. “Logging In Using the Default IP Address 5. “Setting Basic IP Options 6. “Wireless Settings 7. “Setting Up and Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity 8. “Understanding Security Profiles 9. “SSID and WEP/WPA Settings Setup Form 10. “Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings 11. “Setting up a Security Profile 12. “Configuring WEP 13. “Configuring WPA with RADIUS Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual 14. “Configuring WPA2 with RADIUS 15. “Configuring WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS 16. “Configuring WPA-PSK 17. “Configuring WPA2-PSK 18. “Configuring WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK 19. “Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless access point: • A location for the MaxR-3210 that conforms to the “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines below. • The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch, router, or Cable/DSL gateway. • One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b/g/n wireless adapters. Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the Access Point. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices. Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the MaxR-3210. For complete performance specifications, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications.” For best results, place your Access Point: • Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate. • In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-ofsight access (even if through walls). • Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. • Away from large metal surfaces. Putting the antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage. Putting the antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down coverage. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual If you are using multiple access points for 11b/bg/ng, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. Some types of security connections can take slightly longer to establish and can consume more battery power on a notebook computer. Understanding MaxR-3210 Wireless Security Options Your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network: • Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the MaxR-3210. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. • Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like wireless sniffers. • Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP open authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. • Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. Note: WEP and TKIP provide only legacy rates of operation. So, AES is the recommended solution to use the 802.11n rates and speed. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual Installing the MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point Before installing the MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point, you should make sure that your Ethernet network is up and working.

Configuring 802.11b/bg/ng Wireless Settings To configure the wireless settings of your 802.11 b/bg/ng Access Point: 1. From main menu under Configuration, select Wireless. The Wireless Settings screen of your 802.11 b/bg/ng Access Point displays, as shown in Figure 2-8 below. Figure 2-8 Configure wireless settings 802.11b/bg/ng Arada Systems Confidential 13 v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual 2. Configure the Wireless LAN settings based on the following field descriptions: • Wireless Mode. Select the desired wireless operating mode. The default is 11ng. The options are: – 11b – All 802.11b wireless stations can be used. (The 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode.) – 11bg – Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations can be supported. – 11ng – All 11b, 11g, and 11ng wireless stations can be used. This is the default. If you select this option, then two additional options, Channel Width and Guard Interval, are displayed. Note: If you select one of these option and if other settings on this screen are disabled, then you must select the Turn Radio On radio button to enable available options on this screen. • Turn Radio On. On by default, you can also turn off the radio to disable access through this device. This can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting activities. • Wireless Network Name (SSID). This is the name of your wireless network. It is set to ARADA_11g for 802.11b/bg/ng. • Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like wireless sniffers. Default is enabled. • Channel/Frequency. From the pull-down menu, select the channel you wish to use on your wireless LAN. The wireless channel in use will be between 1 to 11 for US and Canada, 1 to 13 for Europe and Australia. The default is channel Auto. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this happen, you may need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. Alternatively, you can select the Auto channel option for the AP to intelligently pick the channel with least interference. When selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in mind: – Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel used. This allows you to choose a channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available 14 Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual • • – If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). – Wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. This can only happen when the various access points are using the same SSID. MCS Index/Data Rate. From the pull-down menu, select the available transmit data rate of the wireless network. Also, depending on the band selected, the set of rates will vary.

The Advanced Wireless Settings screen displays, as shown in Figure 4-3., Figure 4-3 Advanced Wireless Settings - 802.11b/bg/ng 4. Enter the appropriate information in the fields described below: • RTS Threshold (0 - 2347): Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data. The default is 2347. • Fragmentation Length (256 - 2346): This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragmentation threshold value must be larger than the RTS threshold value. The default is 2346. • Beacon Interval (100 - 1000): The Beacon Interval. Specifies the interval time between 100ms and 1000ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the access point to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual • Aggregation Length (1024-65535) (11ng): The aggregation length defines the size of aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths may sometimes lead to better network performance. The default is 65535. • A-MPDU (11ng): Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit. Aggregates several MAC frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled. • RIFS Transmission (11ng): Reduced Interframe Space. RIFS transmissions are shorter than other interframe spaces, and if enabled allow transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. The default is disabled. • DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Specifies the data beacon rate between 1 and 255. The default is 3. • Preamble Type (11b/bg only): A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or a slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. The Auto settings automatically handles both long and short preambles. The default is Auto. • Antenna: Not supported. • 802.11d: Enable this option to include support for "additional regulatory domains" that are not in the current standard. • Max Wireless Clients: The number of wireless clients that can associate with the AP at one time. The default is 63. 5. Click Apply to enable the Wireless Settings. Configuring Advanced QoS Settings Wireless Multimedia Extension (WME) or Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WME allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WME to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WME. Figure 4-4 shows the Quality of Service (QoS) screen. For most networks, the default QoS queue parameter settings work well.Quality of Service provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic, like Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data. To configure advanced QoS settings, on the Configuration tab select Wireless, select Advanced, and then select QoS Settings. The QoS Settings screen dispalys: Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual Figure 4-4 Advanced QoS settings The QoS options on the MaxR-3210 are as follows: • AP EDCA Parameters. Specify the AP EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) parameters for different types of data transmitted from the MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point to the wireless client. • Station EDCA Parameters. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types of data transmitted from the wireless client to the MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point. If WMM is disabled, you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters. Table 4-1 describes the settings for QoS Queues. Table 4-1. QoS Queues and Parameters QoS Queue Description Data 0 (Voice) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue. Data 1(Video) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue. Data 2 (Best Effort) Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual Table 4-1. QoS Queues and Parameters QoS Queue Description Data 3 (Background) Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space) Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255. cwMin (Minimum Contention Window) Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. Valid values for the “cwmin” are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower than the value for cwMax. cwMax (Maximum Contention Window) Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value. Valid values for the “cwmax” are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for cwMin. Max. Burst Length Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.

If you have trouble setting up your MaxR-3210, check the tips below. No lights are lit on the Access Point. It takes a few seconds for the power indicator to light up. Wait a minute and check the power light status on the access point. If the access point has no power. • Make sure the power cord is connected to the access point. • Make sure the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is in a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. If it is plugged directly into the wall, verify that it is not a switched outlet. • Make sure you are using the correct power adapter supplied with your access point. The Wireless LAN activity light does not light up. The access point antennas are not working. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual • If the Wireless LAN activity light stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source and then plug it in again. • Make sure the antennas are tightly connected to the MaxR-3210. • Contact ARADA technical support at support@aradasystems.com if the Wireless LAN activity light remains off. The LAN light is not lit. There is a hardware connection problem.Check these items: • Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point and the network device (hub, switch, or router). A switch, hub, or router must be installed between the access point and the Ethernet LAN or broadband modem. • LAN light does not light up if it is a 10 Mbps link. In such cases, the Lan activity light will still blink if there is activity. • Make sure the connected device is turned on. • Be sure the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch cable. If the network device has Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a crossover cable or a normal patch cable. I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless capable computer. There is a configuration problem. Check these items: • You may not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the computer. • The computer with the wireless adapter may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up properly for that network. The usual setting for Windows the Network Properties is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.” • The access point’s default values may not work with your network. Check the access point default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your network. Arada Systems Confidential v1.1, Dec 2009 MaxR-3210 Wireless-N Access Point User Manual I cannot connect to the MaxR-3210 to configure it. Check these items: • The MaxR-3210 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that the LAN port LED is green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK. • The default configuration of the MaxR-3210 is for a static IP address of 192.168.0.237 and a Mask of 255.255.255.0 with DHCP disabled. Make sure your network configuration settings are correct. • If you are using the NetBIOS name of the MaxR-3210 to connect, ensure that your computer and the MaxR-3210 are on the same network segment or that there is a WINS server on your network. • If your computer is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it. • If your computer uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address in the range of the MaxR-3210. The MaxR-3210 default IP Address is 192.168.0.237 and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. If you are not sure about these settings, follow the instructions for “Installing the MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point” on page 2-4. When I enter a URL or IP address I get a timeout error. A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps. • Check whether other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs TCP/IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS, and IP Addresses. • If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, ensure that the MaxR-3210 is connected and turned on. Connect to it and check its settings. If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections. • If the MaxR-3210 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc.) to make sure that it is working correctly. • Try again.
