If you select I want to specify the devices that can connect to this one, you will need to enter the MAC addresses of the wireless routers or access points that will connect to this access point and click the Add button. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20Dr...54%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (8 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide To delete an existing WDS mapping, click the Delete button next to the MAC Address. WDS allows you to use multiple access points or wireless routers to connect several separate networks together. By connecting an access point or wireless router to each network and enabling the WDS feature, the wireless clients in the immediate area will be able to connect to the wireless network while a bridge would also be created to another access point or wireless router that is further away. The wireless access point and the wireless product that you will be creating a bridge with will need to have the same channel selected, the same Network Name (SSID), same wireless security settings, as well as the MAC address of the other device entered in the WDS Restrictions table. Enabling the WDS Restrictions option allows you to enter the MAC addresses of the access points or wireless routers that will be capable of connecting to each point of the wireless network that you have created. This will then limit exactly who has access to the wireless network. One thing to note about this type of wireless network is that the throughput may be reduced for the bridging portion. Therefore, bridged routers or access points that also allow wireless clients to connect to the network should not be used for high-volume traffic. Some examples of the type of situations where you might want this type of network would be for security cameras, to provide network access to certain parts of a building that might not be able to be connected using wires, or to provide short-term network access to a conference area. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20Dr...54%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (9 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide If you enable Bridge mode and WDS Restrictions in the wireless access point, a bridge will be created to another wireless router or access point and no wireless clients will be able to connect to the wireless network. This is generally used when you want to connect two networks that are in different buildings. Each wireless router or access point will have to have the MAC address of the other device entered in the WDS Restrictions table. The access point’s WDS connections do not support: WPA2 (PSK) or any of the RADIUS security methods, nor TKIP and AES encryption. If your access point is set with one of the following security methods and encryption types, all WDS connections to the access point should use WPA-PSK (TKIP): ● WPA2 (PSK) with TKIP and AES ● WPA2 (PSK) with TKIP ● WPA (PSK) with TKIP and AES ● WPA (PSK) with TKIP If your access point is set with one of the following security methods and encryption types, all WDS connections to the access point should use WPA (PSK) with AES: ● WPA2 (PSK) with AES ● WPA (PSK) with AES In both of these cases, the Pass phrase (which is also commonly called a Network key, key, or Personal shared key) you entered for the wireless security on your access point will be also used as the Personal Shared Key (PSK) for WDS connections. However, all wireless clients connecting to the access point should continue to use the same security method and file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20D...4%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (10 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide encryption type that you configured on your access point. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) This feature is disabled by default. If you want to enable this feature, select the checkbox next to Enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia). The other devices that you are connecting to in order to use this feature must also support WMM and have it enabled. This feature enables the Quality of Service (QoS) function that is used for multimedia applications, such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video. This allows the network packets of the multimedia application to have priority over regular data network packets, allowing multimedia applications to run smoother and with fewer errors. If you enable WMM, you can then select Enable no-acknowledgement. NoAcknowledgement refers to the acknowledge policy used at the MAC level. Enabling noacknowledgement can result in more efficient throughput but higher error rates in a noisy Radio Frequency (RF) environment. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20D...4%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (11 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide With WMM enabled, you can also select Enable APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery). APSD manages radio usage for battery-powered devices to allow longer battery life in certain conditions. APSD allows a longer beacon interval until an application requiring a short packet exchange interval starts. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an example of application requiring a short packet exchange interval. APSD affects radio usage and battery life only if the wireless client also supports APSD. Note: 802.11n mode does not support WMM, and the Acceleration option MAXg (125 Mbps) is incompatible with WMM. You must change the 802.11n mode to Off and set the Acceleration option to 54g+ (Xpress™) to enable WMM.

Multicast packets are used to send a single message to a set of recipients in a defined group. Teleconferencing, videoconferencing and group email are some examples of multicast applications. Specifying a high multicast rate may improve performance of multicast features. The rates are in Mbps. You can select Automatic, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54. Power level: Select either 100%, 50%, or 25% from the drop-down menu. The Power level sets the strength of the wireless signal that the access point transmits. You would want a lower setting if you live in an area where your wireless signal could be overlapping with other wireless networks and want to reduce the interference you encounter. Control channel: Sets the channel on which the access point operates. If you are experiencing interference or wireless network problems, changing the channel may solve the issue. It is recommended that you keep the control channel set at "Automatic" to avoid interference with adjacent networks. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20D...4%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (14 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide ● ● 802.11n mode: You can select Automatic, or Off. Automatic enables 802.11n support, and Off will disable 802.11n support. Bandwidth: Specify radio frequency bandwidth, either 20MHz or 40MHz (dual channel), that the access point will use if 802.11n mode is configured as Automatic. If the access point detects other adjacent wireless networks, it will use 20 MHz operation so as to not interfere with the networks. If there no other adjacent networks are detected, the access point will use 40MHz operation. In both 20 MHz and 40 MHz operation, when the 802.11n mode is configured to Automatic, the router will use dynamic channel selection to determine the best channels to transmit in order for optimal operation. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Sideband for control channel mode: Displays which sideband the access point is using for the control channel, either Upper or Lower. Sideband channels are only applicable if your access point is operating at 40 MHz bandwidth and the 802.11n mode is configured as Automatic. NPHY rate: Set the Physical Layer (NPHY) rate. These rates are only applicable when the 802.11n mode is configured as Automatic. Automatic 802.11n protection: If you select this option, the access point will use Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) to improve the performance in 802.11 mixed environments. If this is not selected, the 802.11 performance will be maximized under most conditions while the other 802.11 modes (802.11b, etc.) will be secondary. Legacy rate: Set the Physical Layer rate. This option is only visible when 802.11n mode is turned Off. Basic rate set: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support, either Default, All, or 1 & 2 Mbps. Acceleration: Select None, 54g+ (Xpress™), or MAXg (125 Mbps). These features determine either normal speed rates or accelerated rates. Set the mode to 54g+ (Xpress™) for the widest compatibility. Set the mode to None if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b/g equipment. MAXg (125 Mbps) will only work with MAXg wireless clients. Enable VLAN priority mode: When selected, the access point will advertise packet priority using the VLAN tag. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20D...4%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/wireless.html (15 of 17)10/26/2006 9:47:10 AM Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide ● ● ● ● ● Beacon Interval: The amount of time between beacon transmissions. A beacon is basically a heartbeat for a wireless client or access point, sending out a signal informing the network that it is still active. This should be set between 1 and 1000 milliseconds. The default beacon interval is 100 ms. RTS threshold: The RTS Threshold is the minimum size in bytes for which the Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) channel contention mechanism is used. In a network with significant radio interference or large number of wireless devices on the same channel, reducing the RTS Threshold might help in reducing frame loss. The RTS threshold is 2347 bytes by default, which is the maximum value. Fragmentation threshold: The maximum level the access point will reach when sending information in packets before the packets are broken up in fragments. Typically, if you are experiencing problems sending information, it is because there is other traffic on the network and the data being transmitted is colliding. This might be corrected by the information being broken into fragments. The lower the level that the Fragmentation threshold is set to, the smaller a packet has to be before it is broken into fragments. If the maximum is set (2346), fragmentation is essentially disabled. You should only change this level if you are an advanced user. DTIM Interval: This parameter configures the amount of time after which buffered broadcast and multicast frames will be delivered to the wireless clients. This allows mobile stations to conserve power. If you are using applications which use broadcast or multicast frames for delivering data, you should use a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) Interval of 1 to minimize delay for real-time traffic, such as multicast audio and video streams. Preamble: Defines the length of the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) block for communication between the access point and wireless clients. The preamble consists of the Synchronization and Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) fields. The sync field is used to indicate the delivery of a frame to wireless stations, to measure frequency of the radio signal, to perform corrections if needed. The SFD at the end of the Preamble is used to mark the start of the frame. If you are not using any 802.11b devices in your network, you can configure the Preamble type to Short for optimum performance. The Long Preamble type should be used when both 802.11g and 802.11b devices exist on your network.

When your computer uses an access point to connect to the Internet, a number of devices have to work together: ● ● ● ● Your computer connects to the access point via a wireless connection. Your access point connects to your router or other networking device via an Ethernet cable. Your router connects to your cable or DSL modem via an Ethernet cable (your router and modem may be contained within a single device). Your cable or DSL modem connects to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via your cable or phone network. Your Internet access might be failing within any of these devices or in any of the connections between them. To solve the problem, you need to identify the device or connection that is causing the failure and then correct the failing condition. Perform the following procedures to locate and correct the problem: 1. Check the indicator lights. 2. Verify the connection between your computer and the access point. file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20Draf...ach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/trouble_internet.html (1 of 4)10/26/2006 9:47:16 AM file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20Draft/Networking/5454%20Mach-1%20AP/User%20Guide/English/trouble_internet.html 3.

Check the Indicator Lights Check the indicator lights all networking devices between the computer and point where Internet service enters the building. If one or more of these devices indicates a problem, see the documentation for that device to return it to normal operations. Verify the Connection between Your Computer and the Access Point Run your wireless adapter utility. Does it report a successful connection to your access point? If You Have a Wireless Connection If your wireless utility reports a successful wireless connection, your computer may be connected to a neighbour’s access point instead of yours. Use your wireless utility to check the Network name (SSID) of the access point you’re connected to. If the wireless adapter is connected to the wrong access point, use the utility to force your computer to connect to your access point (see the documentation for your wireless adapter). If you are connected to the access point and still do not have access to the internet, verify that the access point is responding.

If you have enabled MAC filtering on the access point, make sure that your computer is permitted to connect to the access point. Note that MAC filtering refers to specific wireless adapters. If you use MAC filtering and have changed wireless adapters, you must add the MAC address of the new wireless adapter to the MAC filtering list on the access point. Verify the Connection between the Access Point and Your Other Networking Device 1. On the device to which the access point is connected by ethernet cable, check the power and status LEDs. Verify that the device is powered on and connected to the Internet. Refer to the device's documentation for information on its status indicators. 2. If the access point is configured to get an IP address dynamically, make sure that the networking device has a DHCP server running. 3. If the access point is connected directly to your modem, check the modem documentation to determine whether the access point needs to have a static IP, gateway, and DNS entries or will get the network address using DHCP; then make sure that the access point is configured accordingly. 4. Ping the router or other networking device. If the ping returns a reply, the access point is reaching the networking device.
