section 4.1).

Chapter 8 Wireless



This chapter describes the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS’s wireless settings. Please read the

information in this

chapter carefully. If you configure a setting improperly, it can impact performance and affect

the network adversely. Before you continue, be sure you selected the appropriate operating

mode (see Chapter 7).



8.1 Wireless



This section describes basic wireless settings. For more information, see Chapter 12.



8.1.1 Access Point



The OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS supports Access Point Mode. In this mode, users with a wireless

client device within range can connect to the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS to access the WLAN. The

following figure shows an example of an OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS operating in Access Point

Mode.



The sections that follow the figure below describe how to configure your OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS

for Access

Point Mode.



Wireless Mode Wireless mode supports 802.11b/g/n mixed modes.

Channel HT Mode The default channel bandwidth is 40 MHz. The larger the channel,

the better the transmission quality and speed.

Extension Channel Select upper or lower channel. Your selection may affect the Auto

channel function.

Channel / Frequency Select the channel and frequency appropriate for your country’s

regulation.

Auto Check this option to enable auto-channel selection.

AP Detection AP Detection can select the best channel to use by scanning

nearby areas for Access Points.

Current Profile Configure up to four different SSIDs. If many client devices will be

accessing the network, you can arrange the devices into SSID

groups. Click Edit to configure the profile and check whether you

want to enable extra SSID.



Profile Isolation Restricted Client to communicate with different VID by Selecting

the radio button.

Accept / Cancel Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and

return previous settings.



Clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply them, use Status > Save/Load (see

section 4.1).



SSID Specify the SSID for the current profile.

VLAN ID Specify the VLAN tag for the current profile.

Suppressed SSID Check this option to hide the SSID from clients. If checked, the

SSID will not appear in the site survey.

Station Separation Click the appropriate radio button to allow or prevent

communication between client devices.

Wireless Security See the Wireless Security section.

Save / Cancel Click Save to accept the changes or Cancel to cancel and return

previous settings.



8.1.2 Client Bridge



Client Bridge Mode lets you connect two LAN segments via a wireless link as though they are

on the same physical network. Since the computers are on the same subnet, broadcasts will

reach all machines. As a result, DHCP information generated by the server will reach all client

computers as though the clients resided on one physical network.



The following figure shows an example of an OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS communicating with an

Access

Point/Wireless Router, such as the EnGenius EOA7530, operating in Client Bridge Mode.



The sections that follow the figure below describe how to configure your OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS

for Client

Bridge Mode.



Wireless Mode Wireless mode supports 802.11b/g/n mixed modes.

SSID Specify the SSID if known. This field is completed automatically if

you select an Access Point in the Site Survey.

Site Survey Scans nearby locations for Access Points. You can select a



discovered Access Point to establish a connection.

Prefer BSSID Enter the MAC address if known. If you select an Access Point in

the Site Survey, this field is completed automatically.

WDS Client Click the appropriate radio button to enable or disable WDS

Client.

Wireless Security See section 8.2 for information.

Accept / Cancel Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and

return previous settings.



Clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply them, use Status > Save/Load (see

section 4.1).



Profile If you used the Site Survey, the Web Configurator shows nearby

Access Points. To connect to an Access Point, click the Access

Point’s BSSID.

Wireless Security See the Wireless Security section.

Refresh Click Refresh to scan again.



If the Access Point has been configured to suppress its SSID, the SSID section will be blank

and must be completed manually.



8.1.3 WDS Bridge



Unlike traditional bridging. WDS Bridge Mode allows you to create large wireless networks by

linking several wireless access points with WDS links. WDS is normally used in large, open

areas, where pulling wires is cost prohibitive, restricted or physically impossible.



The following figure shows an example of three OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS configured for WDS

Bridge Mode communicating with each other. In this configuration, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS

device on the left side of the figure behaves as a standard bridge that forwards traffic

between the WDS links (links that connect to other OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS WDS bridges).



The sections that follow the figure below describe how to configure your OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS for WDS Bridge Mode.



Wireless Mode Wireless mode supports 802.11b/g/n mixed modes.

Channel HT Mode The default channel bandwidth is 40 MHz. The larger the channel,

the better the transmission quality and speed.

Extension Channel Select upper or lower channel. Your selection may affect the Auto

channel function.

Channel / Frequency Select the channel and frequency appropriate for your country’s

regulation.

Accept / Cancel Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and

return previous s

ett



Clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply them, use Status > Save/Load (see



section 4.1).



MAC Address Enter the MAC address of the Access Point to which you want to

extend wireless connectivity.

Mode Select Disable or Enable to disable or enable WDS.

Accept / Cancel Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and

return previous settings.



1. Clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply them, use Status > Save/Load (see

section 4.1).

2. The Access Point to which you want to extend wireless connectivity must enter the OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS’s MAC address into its configuration. For more information, refer to the

documentation for the Access Point. Not all Access Point supports this feature.



8.1.4 Client Router



In Client Router Mode, you can access the Internet wirelessly with the support of a WISP. In AP

Router Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS can access the Internet via a cable or DSL modem. In

this mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS can be configured to turn off the wireless network name

(SSID) broadcast, so that only stations that have the SSID can be connected. The OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS also provides wireless LAN

64/128/152-bit WEP encryption security, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authenti

cat

on,

as well as TKIP/AES encryption security. It also supports VPN pass-through for sensitive data

secure transmission.



The following figure shows an example of an OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS communicating with a

Wireless ISP (WISP) Access Point in Client Router Mode. The sections that follow the figure

below describe how to configure your OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS for Client Router Mode.



SSID Specify the SSID if known. This field is completed automatically if

you select an Access Point in the Site Survey.

Site Survey Scans nearby locations for Access Points. You can select a

discovered Access Point to establish a connection.



Prefer BSSID Enter the MAC address if known. If you select an Access Point in

the Site Survey, this field is completed automatically.

Wireless Security See section 10.2.

Accept / Cancel Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and

return previous settings.



Clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply them, use Status > Save/Load (see

section 4.1).



Profile If you used the Site Survey, the Web Configurator shows nearby

Access Points. To connect to an Access Point, click the Access

Point’s BSSID.

Wireless Security See the Wireless Security section.

Refresh Click Refresh to scan again.



If the Access Point has been configured to suppress its SSID, the SSID section must be

completed manually.



8.2 Wireless Security



The Wireless Security Settings section lets you configure the EOH200’s security modes: WEP,

Chapter 13

Building

a Wireless



With its ability to operate in various operating modes, your OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS is the ideal

device around which you can build your WLAN. This appendix describes how to build a

WLAN around your OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS using he device’s operating modes.

13.1 Access Point



In Access Point Mode, OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS behaves likes a central connection for stations or

clients that

support IEEE 802.11b/g/n networks. Stations and client must be configured to use the same

SSID and security password to associate with the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS. The OM2P-LC/OM2P-

HS supports four SSIDs at the same time for secure guest access.



13.2 Access Point Mode with WDS



The OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS Access Point Mode also supports WDS functionality. This operating

mode allows wireless connections to the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS using WDS technology. In this

mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by

enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports eight AP MAC addresses.



Not every Access Point device supports WDS in Access Point Mode. As a result, to use WDS,

we recommend you use the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS.

13.3 Client Bridge



In Client Bridge Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS behaves like a wireless client that connects to

an Access

Point wirelessly and allows users to surf the Internet whenever they want. In this mode, use

the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS Site Survey to scan for Access Points within range. Then configure

the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS SSID and security password accordingly to associate with the Access

Point. In this configuration, the station has a wired Ethernet connection to the OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS LAN port.



13.4 WDS Bridge



In WDS Bridge Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS can wirelessly connect different LANs by

configuring

the MAC

address and security settings of each OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS device. Use

this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with

each other. The best solution is to use the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS to wirelessly connect two wired

LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish 16 WDS links, creating

a star-like network.



WDS Bridge Mode is unlike Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same

frequency channel, more Access Points connected together may lower throughput. Please be

aware to avoid loop in your wireless connection, otherwise enable Spanning Tree Function.

13.5 Client

outer



In Client Router Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS’s internal DHCP server allows a number of

LANs to

automatically generate IP addresses to share the same Internet. In this mode, connect an

13.6 RADIUS



Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication is available when

configuring the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS wireless advanced settings (see Chapter 8). Use this

feature if you

have a

RADIUS server. WPA(TKIP), WPA2(AES), and WPA2 Mixed encryption types

are also supported.



The following figure shows an example of a RADIUS configuration, where two OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS devices installed at different locations communicate with each other wirelessly.

In this configuration, one OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS is configured for Access Point Mode and

connected to a RADIUS server via

tch,

while the other OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS is configured

for Client Bridge Mode. The RADIUS server uses an authentication scheme such as PAP or

CHAP to verify a user's identification, along with, optionally, other information related to the

request, such as the user's network address or phone number, account status and specific

network service access privileges. The RADIUS server then returns one of three responses to

the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS : Access Reject (user is denied access to all requested network

resources), Access Challenge (requests additional information from the user such as a

secondary password), PIN, token or card), or Access Accept (user is granted access).

Access



A base station in a WLAN that act as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.

AdHoc



A short-term WLAN framework created between two or more WLAN adapters, without going

through an Access Point. An ad hoc network lets computers send data directly to and from one

another. For an ad hoc network to work, each computer on the network needs a WLAN card

installed configured for Ad Hoc mode.

nna



A device that sends and receives radio-frequency (RF) signals. Often camouflaged on existing

buildings, trees, water towers or other tall structures, the size and shape of antennas are generally

determined by the frequency of the signal they manage.



A process that verifies the identity of a wireless device or end-user. A common form of

authentication is to verify identities by checking a user name and password to allow network

access.



Interference resulting from two network devices sending data at the same time. The network



detects the collision of the two transmitted packets and discards both of them.



The region within which a paging receiver can reliably receive the transmission of paging signals.

Coverage



The geographical area that can be served by a mobile communications network or system.

Coverage



An area within the radio coverage footprint of a wireless system where the RF signal level is

below the design threshold. Physical obstructions such as buildings, foliage, hills, tunnels, and

indoor parking garages are usually the cause of coverage holes.

DynamicHostConfigurationProtocol

(



A protocol that assigns temporary IP addresses automatically to client stations logging onto an IP

network, so the IP addresses do not have to be assigned manually. The OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS

contains an internal DHCP server that automatically allocates IP address using a user-defined

range of IP addresses. Dead



An area within the coverage area of a WLAN where there is no coverage or transmission falling

off. Electronic interference or physical barriers such as hills, tunnels, and indoor parking garages

are usually the cause of dead spots. See also coverage area.

802.11

A category of WLAN standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE).

802.11a

An IEEE standard for WLANs that operate at 5 GHz, with data rates up to 54 Mbps.
