 107 Chapter 6 Wireless The Wireless menu provides access to the wireless options discussed below. 6.1 Security The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.    Click Save/Apply to implement new configuration settings. WIRELESS SECURITY  Wireless security settings can be configured according to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or Manual Setup. The WPS method configures security settings automatically (see 6.1.1 WPS) while the Manual Setup method requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface (see the table below).
 108 Select SSID Select the wireless network name from the drop-down box. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier.    All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.    Network Authentication This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the wireless network.    If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication is provided.    Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.      Each authentication type has its own settings.    For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields.    WEP Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.    The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.    The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next.
 109   WEP Encryption This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.    Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm.    WEP is a set of security services used to protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this case, the capture of wireless network traffic.    When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated and used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.  Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel. Encryption Strength This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled.    The key strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key.    This means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and are considerably more difficult to crack.   Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-bit.    A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal numbers.    A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal numbers.    Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector) which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data. 6.1.1 WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard that simplifies wireless security setup for certified network devices. Every WPS certified device has a PIN number accessed through device software. The AR-5389 has a virtual button accessible from the web user interface (WUI).  Devices  with  the  WPS  logo  (shown  here) support WPS. If the WPS logo is not present on  your  device it still may support  WPS, in this  case,  check  the  device  documentation for the phrase “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”.  NOTE:  WPS  is  only  available  in  Open,  WPA-PSK,  WPA2-PSK  and  Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK  network  authentication  modes.    Other  authentication modes do not use WPS so they must be configured manually.
 110 To configure security settings with WPS, follow the procedures below. You must choose either the Push-Button or PIN configuration method for Steps 6 and 7. I. Setup Step 1:  Enable WPS by selecting Enabled from the drop down list box shown.       Step 2:  Set the WPS AP Mode. Configured is used when the AR-5389 will assign security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external client assigns security settings to the AR-5389.      NOTES:  Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to the AR-5389. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.    In addition, using Windows Vista, you can add an external registrar using the StartAddER button (Appendix D - WPS OPERATION) has detailed instructions).  II. NETWORK AUTHENTICATION  Step 3:  Select Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK network authentication mode from the Manual Setup AP section of the Wireless Security screen. The example below shows WPA2-PSK mode.
 111     Step 4:  For the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) modes, enter a WPA Pre-Shared Key.    You will see the following dialog box if the Key is too short or too long.        Step 5:  Click the Save/Apply button at the bottom of the screen. IIIa.    PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration method.    The WPS button on the rear panel of the router can be used for this purpose or the Web User Interface (WUI) can be used exclusively.      The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below.    It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your WLAN.    In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.  NOTE:  The wireless AP on the router searches for 2 minutes.   If the router stops searching before you complete Step 7, return to Step 6.  Step 6:   Press WPS button               Press the WPS button on the front panel of the router.   The WPS LED will blink to show that the router has begun searching for the client.
 112  Step 7:  Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function.       A typical WPS client screenshot is shown below as an example.    Now go to Step 8 (part IV. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection.   IIIb.    WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification number (PIN).    The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software.   The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case.    To obtain a PIN number for your client, check the device documentation for specific instructions.  The WPS PIN configuration is described in the procedure below.    It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your wireless LAN.    In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.  NOTE:  Unlike the push-button method, the pin method has no set time limit.   This means that the router will continue searching until it finds a client.  Step 6:    Select the PIN radio button in the WSC Setup section of the Wireless Security screen, as shown in A or B below, and then click the appropriate button based on the WSC AP mode selected in step 2.    A - For Configured mode, click the Add Enrollee button.     Enter STA PIN: a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has to be read from either a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be inputted at representing the network, usually the Access Point of the network.    B - For Unconfigured mode, click the Config AP button.
 113       Step 7:  Activate the PIN function on the wireless client.    For Configured mode, the client must be configured as an Enrollee.    For Unconfigured mode, the client must be configured as the Registrar.   This is different from the External Registrar function provided in Windows Vista.        The figure below provides an example of a WPS client PIN function in-progress.    Now go to Step 8 (part IV. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection. IV. CHECK CONNECTION Step 8:  If the WPS setup method was successful, you will be able access the wireless AP from the client.    The client software should show the status.   The example below shows that the connection established successfully.      You can also double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the status of the new connection.
 114 6.2  MAC  Filter This option allows access to the router to be restricted based upon MAC addresses.   To add a MAC Address filter, click the Add button shown below. To delete a filter, select it from the MAC Address table below and click the Remove button.  Option Description Select SSID Select the wireless network name from the drop-down box. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access. MAC Restrict Mode Disabled: MAC filtering is disabled. Allow: Permits access for the specified MAC addresses. Deny: Rejects access for the specified MAC addresses. MAC Address Lists the MAC addresses subject to the MAC Restrict Mode. A maximum of 60 MAC addresses can be added. Every network device has a unique 48-bit MAC address. This is usually shown as xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx, where xx are hexadecimal numbers.     After clicking the Add button, the following screen appears.     Enter the MAC address in the box provided and click Save/Apply.
 115 6.3  Wireless  Bridge This screen allows for the configuration of wireless bridge features of the WIFI interface.    See the table beneath for detailed explanations of the various options.    Click Save/Apply to implement new configuration settings.    Feature  Description AP Mode  Selecting Wireless Bridge (aka Wireless Distribution System) disables Access Point (AP) functionality, while selecting Access Point enables AP functionality. In Access Point mode, wireless bridge functionality will still be available and wireless stations will be able to associate to the AP.     Bridge Restrict Selecting Disabled disables wireless bridge restriction, which means that any wireless bridge will be granted access.  Selecting Enabled or Enabled (Scan) enables wireless bridge restriction. Only those bridges selected in the Remote Bridges list will be granted access. Click Refresh to update the station list when Bridge Restrict is enabled.
 116 6.4  Advanced The Advanced screen allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface.

Click Save/Apply to set new advanced wireless options.
 117 Field  Description Band  Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x standards. The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.) Channel  Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel. Auto Channel Timer (min) Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable) 802.11n/EWC  An equipment interoperability standard setting based on IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) Bandwidth  Select 20GHz or 40GHz bandwidth. 40GHz bandwidth uses two adjacent 20GHz bands for increased data throughput. Control Sideband  Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40GHz mode. 802.11n Rate  Set the physical transmission rate (PHY). 802.11n Protection  Turn Off for maximized throughput.     Turn On for greater security. Support 802.11n Client Only Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router. Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g clients access to the router. RIFS Advertisement  One of several draft-n features designed to improve efficiency. Provides a shorter delay between OFDM transmissions than in802.11a or g. OBSS Co-Existence  Co-existence between 20 MHZ AND 40 MHZ overlapping Basic Service Set (OBSS) in WLAN. RX Chain Power Save  Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains, going from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power. RX Chain Power Save Quiet Time The number of seconds the traffic must be below the PPS value below before the Rx Chain Power Save feature activates itself. RX Chain Power Save PPS The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet Time, described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save feature activates itself. 54g Rate  Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates:   Auto: Default.    Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to lower rates when necessary.   1 Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates.    The appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength. Multicast Rate  Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps) Basic Rate  Setting for basic transmission rate.
 118 Field  Description Fragmentation Threshold A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size.    On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size.   Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented.   Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold.    The value should remain at its default setting of 2346.    Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold  Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet size beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism.    Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism.    The NIC transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS.    The default setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS Threshold. DTIM Interval  Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as Beacon Rate.    The entry range is a value between 1 and 65535. A DTIM is a countdown variable that informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.    When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.    AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.    The default is 1. Beacon Interval  The amount of time between beacon transmissions in milliseconds.    The default is 100 ms and the acceptable range is 1 – 65535.    The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an access point.    By default, network devices passively scan all RF channels listening for beacons coming from access points.   Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).    Global Max Clients  The maximum number of clients that can connect to the router. Xpress TM Technology  Xpress Technology is compliant with draft specifications of two planned wireless industry standards. Transmit Power  Set the power output (by percentage) as desired. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) The technology maintains the priority of audio, video and voice applications in a Wi-Fi network. It allows multimedia service get higher priority. WMM No Acknowledgement Refers to the acknowledge policy used at the MAC level. Enabling no Acknowledgement can result in more efficient throughput but higher error rates in a noisy Radio Frequency (RF) environment. WMM APSD  This is Automatic Power Save Delivery. It saves power.
