Figure 3-31 Diagnostic
Diagnostic Tools - Click the radio button to select one diagnostic tool
•
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
51
TL-WA701ND
•
150Mbps Wireless Lite N Access Point User Guide
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
search 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, the connectivity of the Internet is fine.

Glossary
802.11b - The 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 - 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 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 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 802.1x
support and 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
58
TL-WA701ND
150Mbps Wireless Lite N Access Point User Guide
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.

properly for that network. The usual setting for Windows the Network Properties is set to
“Obtain an IP address automatically.”
3)
The access point’s default values may not work with your network. Check the access
point default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your network.
