As the configuration for each operational mode is almost the same, the Access Point mode will be used for the example.  Figure 4-22 Wireless Advanced  Beacon Interval - Specifies a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the packets  sent  by  the  device  to  synchronize  a  wireless  network.  Beacon  Interval  value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.   RTS Threshold - Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger than  the  specified  RTS  Threshold  size,  the  device  will  send  RTS  frames  to  a  particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.   Fragmentation Threshold - This value is the maximum size determining whether packets will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance since it will create an excessive number of packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.   DTIM Interval - Determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.   Enable  WMM  -  WMM  function  can  guarantee  the  packets  with  high-  priority  messages being transmitted preferentially. Enable is strongly recommended.   Enable Short GI - This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.

(800)-321-2343    www.onqlegrand.com               Ping - This diagnostic tool troubleshoots connectivity, reachability, and name resolution to a given  host  or  gateway  by  using  the  Internet  Control  Message  Protocol  (ICMP)  protocol's mandatory  Echo  Request  datagram  to  elicit  an  ICMP  Echo  Response  from  a  host  or gateway. You can use ping to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If pinging the IP address is successful, but pinging the domain name is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case, ensure that the domain name you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.   Traceroute  -  This  diagnostic  tool  determines  the  path  taken  to  a  given  host  by  sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each gateway along the path is required to decrement the TTL in an IP packet by at least 1 before forwarding it. Effectively, the TTL is a maximum link counter. When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the gateway is expected to return an ICMP Time Exceeded response to your device. Traceroute determines the path by sending the first Echo Request message with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission  until  the  target  responds  or  the  maximum  number  of  hops  is  reached.  The maximum number of hops is 20 by default and can be specified in the field "Traceroute Max TTL". The path is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages returned by intermediate gateways and the Echo Reply message returned by the destination. However, some gateways do not return Time Exceeded messages for packets with expired TTL values and are invisible to the traceroute tool. In this case, a row of asterisks (*) is displayed for that hop.  IP Address - Enter the IP Address (such as 202.108.22.5) of the PC whose connection you wish to diagnose. Ping Count - Specifies the number of Echo Request messages sent. The default is 4.  Ping Packet Size - Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 64. Ping Timeout - Specifies the time to wait for a response in milliseconds. The default is 800. Traceroute Max TTL - Set the maximum number of hops (max TTL to be reached) in the path to Survey for the target (destination). The default is 20.  Click the Start button to start the diagnostic procedure. The Diagnostic Results page displays the result of diagnosis. If the result is similar to the following screen (Figure 4-34), the connectivity of the Internet is fine.

(800)-321-2343    www.onqlegrand.com              Appendix E: Glossary 802.11b - The IEEE 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. 802.11g – IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security. Access Point (AP) - A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station" that can connect a wired LAN to one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each other. DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.  DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from operating or communicating. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines. ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted. SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.  WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.  Wi-Fi - A trade name for the IEEE 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group promoting interoperability among IEEE 802.11b devices. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - WPA is a security technology for wireless networks that improves on the authentication and encryption features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). In fact, WPA was developed by the networking industry in response to the shortcomings of WEP. One of the key technologies behind WPA is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP addresses the encryption weaknesses of WEP. Another key component of WPA is built-in authentication that WEP does not offer. With this feature, WPA provides roughly comparable security to VPN tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier administration and use. This is similar to IEEE 802.1x support and

(800)-321-2343    www.onqlegrand.com              requires a RADIUS server in order to implement. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Enterprise. One variation of WPA is called WPA Pre Shared Key or WPA-PSK for short - this provides an authentication alternative to an expensive RADIUS server. WPA-PSK is a simplified but still powerful form of WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi networking. To use WPA-PSK, a person sets a static key or "passphrase" as with WEP. But, using TKIP, WPA-PSK automatically changes the keys at a preset time interval, making it much more difficult for hackers to find and exploit them. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Personal.
