3 CONNECTION
4 BASIC IP NETWORKING
IP = Internet Protocol
IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For
example: 192.168.1.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a
PC or AP: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while
Dynamic IP’s are distributed by a DHCP Server.
Ports
Every packet of traffic is identified by its Source and Destination Addresses, which would
ensure that the packet arrives at the correct destination. A Port Number is also embedded in
each packet; to identify which software application that generated and uses that packet.
Therefore, if it blocks a certain port number, it denies the particular software from using the
connection.
Static IP Address
Static IP addressing ensures that the device will always have the same IP address. Static
addressing is commonly used for your servers.

Pg 4 of 26
Dynamic IP Address
A dynamic IP address is one that is automatically assigned to a PC. These IP addresses are
“dynamic” because they are only temporarily leased to the PC when it connects to the
network. This is the most convenient and common way of managing IP addresses in a
network. The Server that manages this pool of IP addresses is called the DHCP Server. The
product has a DHCP Server built-in to simplify the network management.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The PC obtaining an IP address from the Server is called the DHCP Client. If there is already a
DHCP Server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers.
Running more than one DHCP server together will cause network problems!
Wireless LAN Basics
A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio
signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and
public Hotspots. WLAN can support the same applications and software that run on a wired
network (LAN). Besides supporting the same software and functions, WLAN brings greater
convenience and eliminates the need to lay Ethernet cables in a home or office.
WLAN networking involves a few additional parameters to be configured:
SSID
The SSID is the “network name” for the WLAN network. The SSID is any name, and can be
any set of characters or numbers. The Client sniffs the radio frequencies for an AP with the
same SSID with itself. The client locks onto the AP and they are “associated”.
To enable plug-and-play convenience, most client cards can sniff the frequencies to extract the
available SSIDs to let the user choose from.
Encryption
WLAN traffic can be captured by anybody to be read! The solution is to use encryption to
make the traffic appear as random characters to the eavesdropper. Both the AP and client
must use the same encryption standard and key to enable them to decode the “rubbish”. If
the encryption settings are mismatched, the client and AP cannot associate. WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) is the most common WLAN encryption standard.
Channel
There are a total of 13 channels in the 2.4GHz band. Depending on regulation, not all the
frequencies may be available in every country. Frequency is configured on the AP only. The
client searches for the AP and locks it into that AP’s channel.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bga.png)
Pg 5 of 26
Signal Strength
Radio signals drop in power over a distance. Even if all the settings are correct, low signal
strength makes association impossible. The usable distance between the AP and client can
range from a few meters indoor to a few km. When setting up the client, make sure that you:
Keep at a distance between the AP and the clients.
Make sure that the WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many
concrete walls and metal structures to reach the client.
Make sure that clients are located far away from one another to avoid
interference.
Make sure that there is line of sight between the AP and client device.
Interference
Interference happens when 2 clients with the same channels are placed near to one another.
The speed of the network drops and the signal strength fluctuates wildly.
Roaming
Association happens when the SSID, Encryption and MAC Address Control settings
are correct between the AP and client. If 2 APs with these same settings are located
in the same area, the client would choose to associate to the one which gives it a
better signal strength. The client would roam over to the 2nd AP when he moves
nearer to it. The client switches AP and frequency as he does so.
5 GETTING STARTED
Connect the network as shown previously.
If your PC is wireless, check the PC’s card utility to make sure that the
signal strength is good.
Open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc.).
Type the AP LAN IP (192.168.1.20) address into the browser’s Address field. The default LAN
IP address is 192.168.1.20.
Note: If you have changed the default IP of the AP, make sure you enter the correct IP
address.

Wireless > Basic Setting
This page lets you configure the Wireless settings of the AP. There are 2 sections:
Radio and Security.
Enable Wireless: Tick to enable wireless function. With this function, laptop with
card bus or in-built wireless function can access the AP wirelessly.
Enable QoS (SpectraLink) Support: Selecting this option will enable the 802.11e QoS
support feature for VOIP and video data.
Operation mode: AP operates as Wireless LAN Access Point or Ethernet Bridge or
Repeater. Wireless Bridge is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line
over a distance. Two AP’s can be set up to connect over this distance, acting as the
wired backbone.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a
Wireless LAN. This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point
when multiple Access Points operate in the same location.
The default SSID is 11g_1
Channel: The radio channel number. You can select channel 1 to 11 or use
SmartSelect, where the AP will select the cleanest channel to use upon booting up.
The number of channels varies according to countries.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bg16.png)
Pg 17 of 26
Wireless Mode: You can choose to operate the AP in 802.11g or 802.11b mode.
The data rate for 802.11g is 54Mbps while the data rate for 802.11b is 11Mbps.
802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b.
WDS: This feature is available for Ethernet bridge mode. Enable or disable or disable with
multiple PC support. When WDS enabled, the bridge can support multiple PCs behind it. When
WDS disabled, the bridge can support only one PC behind it. When disabled with multiple PCs
support, the bridge can support multiple PCs behind it, even if the AP cannot support WDS.
Remote AP MAC List: The Bridge will only associate with AP whose MAC address is in the
list. It is essential to type in the MAC address of the AP without any spacing in front or behind
it.
Wireless Isolation: Selecting this option will disallow wireless clients associated with this
device to communicate with each other.
Security Mode: This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent
unwelcome parties from reading your traffic. You must Enable the Security Mode
before choosing the type of wireless security.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bg17.png)
Pg 18 of 26
Security mode > Open-System/Shared key
Open-System: When chosen, the Key is not used for authentication. It is only used
for encryption. Open-System uses Static Keys for encryption. Static (Shared) Keys
are never changed, and a hacker can crack the key after a period of time.
Shared-Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication
between the AP and Client. Note that this system is also using Static Keys.
Key Entry Method: Choose HEX if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal
format. Otherwise, enter in ASCII format. ASCII is also called Alphanumeric in some
systems. Use the same key format for the AP and Client!
Key 1-4: The Key is to be entered in the boxes. The SAME Key must be entered in
both the AP and Client. Take note that there is a different Key length for a different
number of encryption bits. 152 bits is the most secure, but make sure that your
Client card supports it. The last point to take note is that if you use Key 4 on the AP,
you must also use Key 4 on the Client, for example. The same logic applies for Keys
1-3.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bg18.png)
Pg 19 of 26
Security Mode > WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is also known as WPA-Preset-Key. This implementation is more secure
than WEP as the encryption is automatically changed periodically. To configure this
feature, just key in 8-63 ASCII character or 64 HEX character pass-phrase for both
the AP and Cards.
Cipher: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type.
Security Mode > WPA
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) is a standard where the Wireless Card has to
authenticate to a RADIUS Server, through the Access Point. The Server can also
manage the encryption keys such that they are changed dynamically. You need to
have a RADIUS Server to be able to use this feature.
RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address and the port of the RADIUS Server.
Shared Secret: Enter the Shared Secret of the RADIUS Server.
Confirm Secret: Enter the Shared Secret again to confirm.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bg19.png)
Pg 20 of 26
Security Mode > WPA 2-PSK
WPA 2-PSK is the enhancement of WPA-PSK which uses the AES encryption
algorithm.
Cipher: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type.
Security Mode > WPA 2
WPA 2 is the enhancement of WPA which uses the AES encryption algorithm.
RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address and the port of the RADIUS Server.
Shared Secret: Enter the Shared Secret of the RADIUS Server.
Confirm Secret: Enter the Shared Secret again to confirm.
![](/img.php?id=1186564&img=bg1a.png)

Wireless > Advance Setting
This page allows you to configure the advance wireless setting of the AP.
Data Rate (Mbps): You can set the wireless data rate from the available list or
choose Best to allow the AP to choose the most appropriate data rate. When Best is
used, the AP will determine the optimal data rate according to the environment.
Transmit Power: This will adjust the transmit power of the antenna. Sometimes, it
is useful to decrease the coverage range of each AP, so that more AP can be located
together without interfering one another.
Distance: This is to set the distance for bridging. The default distance is 4-6km.
Preamble: Choose Short Preamble or Long Preamble. Most manufacturers
implement long preambles. Even if there is a mismatch between the AP and the
client, they can still connect well and the mismatch may not be noticeable to most
users. Do not change this setting without seeking advice.
Slot Time: Choose short or long slot time. The slot time is the amount of time a
device waits after a collision before retransmitting.
Protection Mode: Select None, Always or Auto.
Protection Type: Select either CTS only or RTS-CTS.
RTS/CTS Threshold: Request to Send/Clear to Send. The primary use of RTS/CTS
is to minimize collisions among hidden stations. Forcing the access point to
implement the RTS/CTS handshake will significantly increase the overhead and
reduce throughput. Once the RTS/CTS is set at the station, it initiates by sending a
RTS frame. Upon receiving, the access point will responds by sending a CTS frame.
Select the RTS/CTS radio button to enable this feature. Set a packet size threshold
(2346 bytes) value to trigger this protection. If the packet that the station/access
point is transmitting is larger than the threshold, it will initiate the RTS/CTS function.
