Introduction
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Features and Benefits
SPEEDLAN 4100 and 4200 are wireless Ethernet brouters. Similar in function to other SPEEDLAN
products, the 4100 and 4200 differ in how they are installed. Using a unique pole mount design,
the 4100 and 4200 allow up to 300 feet of cable to be run from the connection point to the
network up to the RF device, without introducing loss of any radio signal. This increases the effective
wireless link distance and reduces or even eliminates the need for an amplifier in the system.
The outdoor mounted 4100 and 4200 are connected to the network using an indoor junction box.
This small box combines the Ethernet signal and DC power which is then run over a single Teflon
jacketed Ethernet cable up to the RF device.
These radios operate in the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz ISM band, contain 11 user selectable RF
channels. The radios use direct sequence spread spectrum with a QPSK modulation, and employ 11
dB of processing gain.
The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 brouters also contain transparent Ethernet bridging and IP routing as
described below.
Transparent Ethernet Bridging with Advanced Filtering for Security and
Network Reliability
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 brouters support what is known as Transparent Ethernet Bridging with no
Spanning Tree or Source Routing support. Since the SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 provide network
security between a local LAN and a campus or enterprise wide network, and since using multiple
bridges in a Spanning Tree could compromise this security, the Spanning Tree scenario is not
supported. In addition, the SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 can filter packets based on protocol type or
MAC address pairings. These features can add a significant measure of security and network
reliability to a network interconnection.
IP Routing with Advanced Filtering for Security
The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 support IP Routing in addition to bridging. It can be used to add
routing capability when an IP router may be a more appropriate choice.

Quick Start
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
System Description
The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 are high speed, long range wireless LAN brouters that provide
connectivity to remote Ethernet networks. For single point-to-point links, a SPEEDLAN 4200 can be
used in each building to create a wireless communication link. For multipoint links, a SPEEDLAN
4100 acts as the central base station, which controls the communication between multiple
SPEEDLAN 4200 brouters acting as CPE. The local brouter communicates with a remote brouter on
another LAN. This effectively creates an extended wireless network, spanning sites situated up to 25
miles apart. This enables a central Ethernet LAN to be connected with one or more branch office
LANs. A single brouter with an omnidirectional antenna, may communicate with multiple brouters to
create multipoint wireless site-to-site connectivity.
Rooftop and Tower Installations Warning
Rooftop, tower and mounted equipment (brouters) installations are extremely dangerous and
incorrect installation can result in death, injury, or property damage. These installations must be
performed by professional antenna installers only.

Installation Steps
Some installation instructions are specific to customers who purchased Installation Kits from Wave
Wireless. To view a diagram of the installation listed below, see Installation Diagram, page 2-8.
The directions below contain installation procedures for the items included in the SPEEDLAN 4100 &
4200 antenna (and amplifier) kit. If you do not have an item included in the instructions below,
contact Wave Wireless.
TIP
If you are having trouble and need a full site installation, contact Wave Wireless Networking for
services and fees.
To install the SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200, do the following:
Step 1.Verifying Line-of-Sight
Before installing the antennas and brouters, make sure a clear line-of-sight exists. Line-of-sight can
be defined as each antenna clearly seeing the other antenna, and seeing the remote locations when
viewing from the central base location. Be sure to look level with the center of origin of the
transmission (i.e., the middle of the antenna). Repeat this procedure from the remote location. Any
disruption of the signal path due to trees, building, or any other obstructions may cause the link to
function incorrectly. If you see any obstructions between two antennas, move one or both antennas
to another location.
Quick Start
2-3
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Step 2. Mounting the Antenna
Follow the instructions below to mount the antenna.
Note:
You can use a 24db grid antenna to achieve a link as long as the remote brouter can
hear it.
a) On a side-building mount, position the bracket so there will be at least three feet (one
meter) above the roof line where the pole is attached. This enables room for the antenna
and reduces signal loss from building reflection.
Note:
It is not recommended to mount the antenna onto any unstable object. For more information on antennas, see Polarizations on a Grid Antenna, page 2-9.
b) Allow for as much space between the wall brackets as possible while maintaining the
appropriate antenna height. For extended poles, additional wall brackets may be necessary.
c)
Assemble the antenna and mount it to the pole using the included U-bolt antenna mounting
hardware. For a semi-parabolic grid type antenna, align the grid to run parallel with the
grid on the tip of the antenna horn. Preferably, the grid should be horizontal (or parallel to
the ground). Make sure all bolts and screws are fastened tightly.
d) Fasten the pole to the brackets. Position the antenna, point it in the appropriate direction,
and tighten the screws. Then, aim the antenna so it is pointed toward the receiving antenna
on the other building. The radio signal radiates from the end of antenna like a widebeamed flashlight. For optimal performance, you may need to test your link using both
polarities. This configuration option varies with each location, as well as RF signals that may
be present in the area.

Quick Start
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Step 3. Mounting the SPEEDLAN 4100 or 4200 Brouter
Select one of two options below:
•
Option A: Pole Mount
On a pole mount, position the brouter 5 to 10 feet below the antenna. Then, attach the
brouter to the mounting pole using two included U-bolt clamps, one on the top of the
brouter and the other on the bottom of brouter. Make sure you tighten the screws on the
back of the pole mount.
OR
•
Option B: Wall or Concrete Mount
On a side building mount, position the brouter 5 to 10 feet below the antenna. Then,
attach the brouter to the wall or concrete by using the concrete or wood mounting screws.
Make sure the brouter is secured.
Step 4. Running and Securing All Cable
The installation kit includes two cables with ready-made connectors to fit your particular installation
needs such as:
•
Pigtail (12" adapter from brouter)
•
(1) 5-10' antenna cable (attaches to antenna one end and to lightning arrestor other end)
•
Lighting arrestor (attaches to pigtail and to antenna cable)
a) Attach the 24" pigtail to the SPEEDLAN brouter to the appropriate port.
b) Attach the 10' length of cable to the antenna. Next, attach the lightning arrestor to the lower
end of the antenna cable.
c)
Attach the other end of lightning arrestor to 24" pigtail.
d) Run the main length of the specialized Ethernet cable from the SPEEDLAN brouter to the
indoor junction box located inside the building).
e) Secure the cable with zip ties or cable clamps during this procedure.
TIP
When running the cable through walls or obstructions, make sure that there is ample room for
the connector to pass through without being damaged. Also, do not create extra pressure that
would cause the cable to kink or be stretched or cut (i.e., pulling cable through tight locations).
Quick Start
2-5
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
f)
Create a proper weatherproofing seal on all outdoor connections by wrapping it with
electrical tape and sealing it with putty. This is the most crucial step of the installation. If this
procedure is not completed, long-term and complex problems could occur. For more information on implementing this procedure, see Weatherproofing Connectors, page 2-6.
g) Next, ground the lighting arrestor. For more information, see Grounding the Lightning Arrestor, page 2-6.
Step 5. Grounding the Lightning Arrestor
a) Mount the lightning arrestor to a solid surface.
b) Run the grounding wire from the lightning arrestor to a proper ground source such as a
grounding rod or roof ground wire. The lightning arrestor is NOT waterproof.
Step 6. Weatherproofing Connectors
a) Seal the entire lightning arrestor with the black waterproof sealant insulation putty that is
included in the installation kit.
b) Apply two layers of electrical tape to the connector, and leave approximately 3 inches of
cable exposed on either side of the connector. An alternative is to begin at the lowest point,
so the tape overlaps from bottom to top creating a shingled effect. (This creates an effective
barrier against water runoff). Apply this "shingle effect" to each layer of the sealing process.
c)
Apply one layer of insulation putty over the top of the electrical tape, and leave at least one
inch of the cable jacket to ensure a good seal. Do not stretch the putty, as this causes thinning and reduces the effectiveness of a good seal.
d) Apply five layers of electrical tape over the insulation putty and extend at least one (1) inch
past the putty. This is the most important step in creating a watertight seal. Make sure that
there are no wrinkles in the tape and the final wrap must be completed from bottom to top.
Step 7. Connect the Wireless SPEEDLAN Brouter to the Power Supply
a) Connect power cord of AC-DC 18 Vdc adapter to 110 or 220 Vac power outlet (the input
voltage of this universal adapter can vary from 100 to 240 Vac).
b) Connect the DC output of the adapter (18 Vdc) to DC jack on the indoor junction box.

Step 8. Connect the Wireless SPEEDLAN Brouter to Customer's Ethernet LAN
a) Connect the RJ-45 connector on a standard Ethernet CAT5 cable to the RJ-45 port (color of
port is white) on indoor junction box.
b) Connect the other end of the Ethernet CAT5 cable to your Ethernet hub, switch or router.
Step 9. Adding Additional Brouters
Repeat the steps above for all of The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 brouters that will be communicating
with this one.

Polarizations on a Grid Antenna
The antenna must be aimed so that when you look out from the center of the antenna it is pointing
toward the receiving antenna on the other building. The radio signal radiates from the end of the
antenna like a wide-beamed flashlight.
Vertical Polarity
Horizontal Polarity
In order for the antennas to operate correctly, the polarities must match!
TIP
For most applications we have found that horizontally polarized antennas work best. This is because
most other signals that may cause interference are vertically polarized. If you use horizontal
polarization, you can reduce the interference caused by those other signals.

This can make reconfiguring your brouter a quick operation if you have the completed configuration
already saved to your computer.
Configuring a SPEEDLAN Brouter
To configure a remote (network attached) brouter, you can use the Open Remote Config and Save
functions. You must have a brouter configuration opened with the Configuration Utility before any
configuration functions are performed. After you have opened the remote device and configured it,
you can then save your configuration back to the open device. When you `Save' back to the remote
device, its Flash ROM will be erased and reprogrammed with the new configuration. After you save
the configuration, wait the required 15-second period. This allows the Flash ROM to be fully
programmed and enables the brouter to reboot with the new configuration.
4-2
Overview of Configurator
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Turning off the brouter, or otherwise interrupting the reprogramming of the Flash ROM, will
damage the programming of the brouter, and render it inoperable.
Note:
Anytime you make changes in Frequency, IP Routing, or Network ID, start with
the brouter furthest away from your current location. This will allow you to
complete your changes without having to physically go to each location.
Configuring a Saved Configuration File
To configure a saved CNF file (configuration file), open it from the File menu by using the Open
function. Then, configure the file just as if you were configuring a remote brouter. When you are
finished configuring the file, save it to disk from the File menu using the "Save Config File As..."
function. The "Open Remote Config..." and "Save Config" functions are used for accessing and
saving directly to the brouter without using a file saved on diskette. Be careful when you save the
configuration file that you do not save the configuration directly to the SPEEDLAN; otherwise, you
will be configuring the brouter and may not be able to re-access it after uploading the incorrect
configuration to it.
Exporting and Importing a Configuration
Once you have opened a remote brouter, you can take a "snapshot" of the current configuration with
the "Save Config File As..." function. This function will result in creating a CNF file. The extension
.CNF is used to denote the special exported binary configuration file. The CNF file created with the
"Save Config File As..." function can later be imported into another brouter by using the "Import
Config File..." function, then saving the configuration to the brouter using the "Save Config" function.

Transport Methods
The industry compatible method of transmitting and receiving data over wireless networks will cause
data packets to frequently be lost. This is due to the fact that a wireless network does not have the
ability to detect collisions like a wired Ethernet network. On an Ethernet network, collisions can be
detected by the hardware and are automatically retransmitted. Ethernet is referred to as CSMA/CD
(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection). Wireless networks are CSMA/CA (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance). Collisions cannot be detected because wireless
cannot receive and transmit at the same time. This means brouters are not able to listen for
collisions. A brouter that is operating properly in a point-to-point network will loose, due to
collisions, less than 1% of the transmitted packets. This packet loss is not normally a problem with
protocols such as Novell IPX (without the Burst Mode NLM), but may cause networks using most
Configuring SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200
5-7
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
other protocols to experience poor performance. Campus Cell PRC helps to alleviate this problem
by placing multiple packets into one larger packet, which saves bandwidth by eliminating the extra
overhead. The transport methods are described below:
•
Campus Cell PRC Mode (No Base Station/Brouter)
This method of transportation is used only for point-to-point links. If any of the brouters are
unable to see each other, a base station must be used to repeat traffic from one brouter to
next brouter in line. This point-to-point mode utilizes Campus Cell PRC packet bundling,
which reduces the amount of overhead caused by sending smaller individual packets across
the wireless network. This greatly improves the performance of the connection.
•
Campus PRC Mode (This is a Non-Polling Base Station/Brouter)
This setting should be used if this is the only base station in the wireless network cell.
SPEEDLAN has a special mode where one wireless brouter can be configured as a base station (a SPEEDLAN 4100) and each additional wireless node is setup as a CPE brouter (a
SPEEDLAN 4200). In this configuration the only requirement is that each SPEEDLAN 4200
be able to communicate directly with the SPEEDLAN 4100. The SPEEDLAN 4100 is responsible for repeating packets that need to travel between the SPEEDLAN 4200. The Non-Polling Base does not dynamically allocate bandwidth to each remote brouter.
The performance of this approach is greatly improved if the SPEEDLAN 4100 is connected to the
heaviest network or network server.
•
Campus PRC Mode (This is a Polling Base Station/Brouter)
This is the recommended mode of operation for a wireless base station. When the number
of CPE exceed 3 or 4, the non-polling base station may not be able to keep up with the
wireless traffic that needs to be forwarded. The polling base station alleviates this problem
by continuously communicating with every SPEEDLAN 4200 in its cell. It is also responsible
for dynamically assigning how much bandwidth is allocated to each remote site based on
the network traffic load.
This greatly improves the performance of a SPEEDLAN 4100 wireless network cell. As the number of
SPEEDLAN 4200 brouters increase, the importance of a polling base station increases and efficiency
is proportionately improved.
•
5-8
Campus PRC (This is a Remote Station/Brouter)
This is the configuration required for remote brouters that will be installed as CPE into a
multipoint wireless network (e.g., a SPEEDLAN 4400). In this mode, a SPEEDLAN 4200 will
only communicate with a base station. This cannot be used for point-to-point links.

Advanced Button - 11 Mb RF Interface Setup
The Advanced button is located to the left of the Frequency button. Clicking this button will open a
new dialog box that allows you to change the Network ID and rate of the interface.
•
Network ID
The Network ID is a security setting that allows the brouter to reject packets from other
wireless brouters in the area. Although the bridging or routing table would reject the packet
once it was processed, the Network ID allows the brouter to reject the packet with less
processing. This improves the performance of the brouters in installations where many
wireless brouters are co-located in the same area or where other organizations may be
running wireless bridges of their own. The default setting is 0 and the valid range is 0 to 15.
This setting must be set to the same value for the brouters that will be communicating together.
Failure to set them to the same value will prevent any communications from taking place. For
example, in order to use a multipoint link, you must use the same Network ID setting on the base
station (SPEEDLAN 4100) and on the CPE brouter (SPEEDLAN 4200).
•
Rate
This setting refers to the RF data rate. The SPEEDLAN 11 Mbps radios have four data rates
that can be used:
•

Advanced Features Button

check boxes are described below:
Bridging Setup
•
Pass Bad Ethernet Source
The standard Ethernet bridges we have tested will pass Ethernet packets with a broadcast or
multicast address as their source (i.e., packets with their first bit set to 1). The Ethernet
specification for Transparent (i.e. Non-Source-Routing) bridges does not allow these types
of packets, which are considered bad packets. Our studies have shown that a common
failure mode of many Ethernet interfaces and networking software is to transmit packets like
these. If you do not need to permit Source-Routing packets, we suggest that you deny these
packets. The default setting is selected to permit these packets.
•
Pass Unseen Ethernet Source
Standard Ethernet bridges will always forward packets with destination addresses that have
not been learned (i.e., have not previously been seen as a source address of a packet). This
characteristic is needed in order for the Ethernet bridge to operate correctly. The downside
to this, as our studies have shown, is the failure mode of many Ethernet interface cards will
send out erroneous packets with good CRCs but with random Ethernet destination and
source addresses. Standard bridges will permit these erroneous packets because they have
not "learned" the random destination, and then add this packet's random source address to
their finite learned table. This situation is not uncommon and can greatly hinder the
operation of standard bridges. If you choose to deny unlearned packets, the brouter will not
forward unicast packets to Ethernet addresses that have not already been seen as a source
address. This scheme works for most protocols because it relies on the characteristics of
most upper-layer protocols to transmit ARP requests or hello packets. After careful testing
and consideration, only qualified network engineers should select the Deny option.
The default value for this setting is selected.
6-5
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
6-6
•
Enable Learned-Table Lockdown
A standard bridge watches the source address of each packet it receives on any of its
interfaces. As new addresses are seen, entries are added to the learned table that contains each source address and the interface number that address was received on. If a
source address is later seen on a different interface, the bridge will immediately change
the interface number in the learned-table entry. This condition could happen in a network that is operating well if someone moved a computer to a different part of the network. This could also happen if someone was trying to capture network packets by
fooling the bridge. Enabling learned-table lockdown will prevent the interface number
from being changed once the source address has been seen. A standard bridge will
also time-out the learned-table records every 10 minutes. If learned-table lockdown is
enabled, these records will not be timed out. Once a record is learned, it will not
change or be deleted until either the bridge reboots or the learned table become completely filled and needs to be reset. (NOTE: A typical SPEEDLAN learned table can contain over 12,000 records.) The default value for this setting is disabled.
•
Enable Expanded IP ARP Support
Enabling this feature will cause the bridge to also watch the IP/ARP packets that occur
on the network. The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 brouters take no action in response to
IP/ARP packets (since that is the role of an IP router) except to add the IP address to its
IP/ARP table. This feature is helpful on an IP network because it will build a database of
MAC-layer-address-to-IP address pairs. An SNMP monitoring program, such as the
SPEEDLAN Configurator, can at any time extract this information. NOTE: 1) The IP/ARP
table is never timed out in this mode. 2) This feature is not available if the brouter is
routing IP. The default value for this setting is disabled.
•
Permit Ethernet Broadcasts
Standard Ethernet bridges will always forward broadcast packets. Many protocols do not
use broadcasts (e.g., AppleTalk Phase II, DECnet, and others). However, IP/ARP does use
broadcasts. If you do not use IP or any other protocol that requires broadcasts, you can
deny them. Shutting off broadcast packets will reduce the traffic being sent across your wireless network link. This will also greatly reduce the number of interrupts that each computer
connected to your network experiences. Networks with a high number of broadcasts will
slow down the processing of all attached computers, even those that aren't using the network.
•
Permit Ethernet Multicasts
Standard Ethernet bridges will always forward multicast packets. Some protocols do not use
multicast packets, such as TCP/IP and Novell IPX. If you do not use protocols that use multicast packets, you can drop them by disabling multicast on the brouter. This will reduce the
traffic that is sent across the wireless network link. In addition, it reduces the number of
interrupts that each computer connected to your network experiences.

Data Encryption is enabled on the General Setup dialog box and if an Encryption Key is
set up in the Data Encryption menu, enabling encryption here will cause all Ethernet packets
transmitted to tunnel partners to be encrypted and encapsulated inside IP packets. The IP
packet itself cannot be encrypted because industry-standard IP routers, like those on the

Setting Up the
IP Addresses
(IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
If you do not understand the basics of IP addressing, DHCP, or NAT, please read the next section,
Part I - Quick Overview of IP Addressing below. Otherwise, skip to Part II - Setting Up the IP Address,
page 7-10.
Part I - Quick Overview of IP Addressing
IP Addressing is important because it tells the network how to locate the computers or network
equipment connected to it. IP addresses are given so each computer or equipment on the network
contains a unique address. In addition, network addresses and node addresses, depending on the
Class (A, B, C, etc.), contain their own unique address as well. IP addressing provides the following
information:
•
Provides communication between different platforms and diverse systems
•
Provides universal data transfer over large geographic distances
•
Has been "adopted" as a standard in the computer industry
What is an IP address?
An IP address contains 32 bits of information, which is divided into the following:
•
Two sections: the network address and the node address (also known as the host address)
To keep it simple, lets call it four bytes (octets)
Note: Each octet contains 8 bits, which are equivalent to 1 byte. Each octet is separated by a
•
period (.).
The following examples show the conversion of the same IP address into several different formats:
7-2
•
Decimal (130.57.30.56)
•
Hexadecimal (82.39.1E.38)
•
Binary (10000010.00111001.00011110.00111000).
Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Internet Address Classes
The first octet defines the "class" of the address, which is the only method to tell the size of the
network (how big) and where the internet address belongs. There are three main classes:
•
Class A: 35.0.0.0
•
Class B: 128.5.0.0
•
Class C: 192.33.33.0
-non-bolded text = Part of network address
-bolded text = Part of local address (node section)
This definition is not random; it is based on the fact that routers, by reading just the first three bits of
the address field, designate which network class it belongs to. This selection simplifies the way
routers handle the messages (packets) and speed up the forwarding process.
In fact, IP defines five classes:
•
•
Class A addresses use 8 bits (1 octet) for the network portion and 24 bits (3 octets) for the
node (or host) section of the address. This provides up to 128 networks with 16.7 million
nodes for each network.
•
First byte is assigned as network address
•
Remaining bytes used for node addresses
•
Format: network, node, node, node
•
In IP address 49.22.102.70, "49" is network address and "22.102.70" is the node
address—all machines on this network have the "49" network address assigned to them
•
Maximum of 224 or 16,777,216 nodes
Class B addresses use 16 bits (two octets) for the network portion and 16 bits for the node
(or host) section of the address. This provides up to 16, 384 networks with 64,534 nodes
for each network.
•
First two bytes are assigned as network address
•
Remaining bytes used for node addresses
•
Format: network, network, node, node
•
In IP address 130.57.30.56, "130.57" is the network address, and "30.56" is the node
address
•
Maximum of 216 or a total of 65,534 nodes
Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
7-3
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
•
•
•
Class C addresses use 24 bits (3 octets) for the network portion and 8 bits (two octets) for
the node (or host) section of the address. This provides 16.7 million networks with 256
nodes for each network.
•
First three bytes are assigned as network address
•
Remaining byte used for node address
•
Format: network, network, network, node
•
In IP address 198.21.74.102, "198.21.74" is the network address, and "102" is the
node address
•
Maximum of 28 or 254 node addresses
Class D
•
Range is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
•
Used for multicast packets (i.e., host sends out router discovery packets to learn all of
the routers on the network)
Class E
•
Range is 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
•
Reserved for future use
Note:
Class D & E should NOT be assigned to net assignment of IP addresses. In addition,
the first octet, 127, is reserved. In each network definition, the first node number (i.e.,
"0") is used to define the network, as well as the last number (i.e., "255"). The last
number is known as the broadcast address.
Public IP addresses can be obtained from the following address:
Network Solutions
InterNIC Registration Services
505 Huntmar Park Drive
Herndon, VA 22070
hostmaster@internic.net
Note:
Non-public addresses can include a network address assigned from the network
administrator or from the IP provider. Also, there is one network in each class that is
defined for private use, allowing the creation of internal networks. These addresses are
Class A: 10.0.0.0, Class B: 172.10.0.0, and Class C: 192.168.0.0.

Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Subnetting a Network
The increasing number of hosts and networks make impractical address blocks that are not smaller
than 245. In order keep the IP address small, so routers can manage them without changing the
whole protocol, a smaller network definition is created. This is called a subnet. Subnets are intended
to:
•
Reduce network traffic
•
Optimize performance
•
Simplify management
•
Create more effective and efficient addresses for large geographic distances
Default Subnet masks
•
Class A: 255.0.0.0
•
Class B: 255.255.0.0
•
Class C: 255.255.255.0
Note: Subnet mask is bolded.
What is a Subnet?
Subnetting allows you to create multiple networks within one Class A, B, or C network. Each data
link (octet) contains its own unique identifier also known as the subnet. Also, each node on the same
data link must belong on the same subnet as well.
What is a Subnet Mask?
A subnet mask allows you to mask section(s) (depending on the class specified) of the octets in the
network address. Each octet used in the subnet mask is assigned to a data link. The leftover octet(s)
are assigned to the remaining nodes.
For more information on subnetting, see the example below and Diagram of Subnetting a Network,
page 7-7.
Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
7-5
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Example of Subnetting:
For example, a Class C network (255.255.255.0) contains three masked octets (255.255.255). The
last octet (0) is leftover for remaining nodes (i.e., computers).
If Router D is reading IP Addresses 195.172.3.1 (let's call this IP Address 1) and 195.172.3.64 (let's
call this IP Address 2) on this Class C network, it would send IP Address 1 to Subnet A and IP Address
2 to Subnet B. The remaining nodes in each subnet (A through D) on this network can contain up to
254 pieces of network equipment (computers, printers, fax machines, bridges or routers, etc.).

Still confused?
An easier method to explain this concept is to use the classic "mailing" analogy used in IP
addressing. Consider that this network, called Long Street, is four blocks long. There are 254 houses
on Long Street, and each block contains 64 houses. Houses 1 to 63 reside on Block A. Houses 64
to 127 reside on Block B. Houses 128 to 191 reside on Block C. Houses 192 to 254 reside on
Block D. Think of each block as a subnet. This means that Blocks A, B, C, and D are all part of Long
Street, which is also known as the network in this example. The mailman would organize the letters
(or IP addresses for network equipment) by creating four piles (one for each block, or subnet). As
soon as the mailman picks up pile A in his hand, he knows which block to turn on. This same
reasoning applies to piles B, C, and D as well. Router D knows exactly which subnet to transfer (or
turn) the packets to by reading its IP and subnet mask address. Note that each subnet on this
network is 255.255.255.192. Why is 192 the last octet in the subnet mask and not 64? The last
octet, 192, is the mask that allows 64 "houses" to know that the mailman (or router) is coming in
advance. The "houses" will know it's mailman "Jim" by looking at the IP number.

SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Note:
If the network is managed by a Simple Network Management Protocol for local or
Internet access, each brouter must contain a unique IP Address. This is a benefit of
static or dynamic addressing.
How does a network administrator assign an IP address?
IP addresses are supplied by the network administrator, the ISP, or hosting company.
The two types of IP addressing—manual (static) and automatic (dynamic) addressing—are described
below.
•
Manual (static) Addressing
Each device connected to the Internet must have its own unique IP address. Also, if a
computer is being used as a server, you will assign it a permanent IP address. This enables
other computers to connect to it. Static addressing is also beneficial to users that need to
maintain a "constant" connection to the Internet. This will enable users to easily access the IP
address.
•
Automatic (dynamic) Addressing
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server assigns the IP address to each computer as the computer connects to the network. If a computer moves to a new network (i.e.,
great for temporary employees or mobile users), it must be assigned a new IP address for
that network. DHCP can be used to manage these assignments automatically. DHCP is
described in further detail below.
What is DHCP?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows network administrators to assign dynamic IP
addresses for the period of time needed to connect to the Internet. Think of DHCP as leasing an
apartment. A prospective tenant may not need to live in an apartment for two years, maybe just a
year. Therefore, the tenant will only sign a one-year lease agreement. For example, each time a
computer is set up to connect to the Internet, the network administrator uses DHCP to automatically
assign the computer a unique IP address. That computer will give up its IP address when it is no
longer needed (when the lease has ended) allowing new a computer (or a new tenant) on the same
network to use it. This benefits educational and corporate settings where users often log on to
different computers. In this case more IP addresses outnumber computers because you can quickly
reconfigure the network if needed from a centralized location.

Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility
problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP, which reduces the agony of assigning static IP
addresses and also provides advanced configuration options.
Note:
The figure on the next page may help you understand how DHCP assigns an IP
address.

SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
What is NAT?
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the conversion of an Internet Protocol address (IP address)
used within one network to a different IP address within another network. One network is designated
the inside network and the other is the outside network.
Network Address Translation (NAT) occurs when there is a translation among an Internet Protocol (IP
address) used within one network (designated as inside network) to a different IP addresses within
another network (designated as outside network). Network Address Translators (NATs) allow
companies to decrease the number of global IP addresses. This enables companies to communicate
with other devices on the Internet using a single IP address (or more than one IP address).
For example, a company can provide its clients with one IP address, allowing access to the
company's firewall only. This IP address is not a "real" address on the company's internal network, but
it is successfully translated to the correct IP location through NAT (i.e., NAT router). Therefore, the
company controls access through firewalls and provides multiple IP addresses to outside customers
without excessive limited resources, or "global" Internet IP protocols.
Part II - Setting Up the IP Address
Note:
Before you begin, confirm that you have properly read the configuration from the
SPEEDLAN brouter you want to configure. Then, perform the following tasks: Open the
SPEEDLAN Configurator. From the File menu, choose Open Remote Config.... Then,
click Scan. The Scan dialog box appears. Select the appropriate brouter and click OK.
Click OK again. A message box appears confirming that the "Configuration has been
read from the Bridge" (i.e., 128.104.224.1). Click OK.
To set up the IP address, do ONE of the following:
•
Enable DHCP client for dynamic addressing. For more information, see Enabling the DHCP
Client and Choosing the Appropriate Interface, page 7-11,
OR
•
7-10
Assign a static IP address. For more information, see Assigning a Static IP Address,
page 7-12.

sends out each packet with a default "Time to Live" parameter. If you want to override
the factory default of 64 attempts, you can specify your new default here. This
parameter should not be changed less you are very familiar with IP functionality and
how the Time to Live parameter will affect how packets are treated by your network, as
well as the network to which you are bridged (or routed).

128.104.224.1).
•
Our Subnet Mask
This term allows network administrators to mask section(s) (depending on the class
specified) of the octets in the network address. Each octet used in the subnet mask is
assigned to a data link. The leftover octet(s) are assigned to the remaining nodes.
Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Note:
For more information, see Subnetting a Network, page 7-5. Once the packet has traveled to the appropriate network, it goes through a masking process. A subnet mask is
composed of zeros (0s) and ones (1s). This tells the router which addresses to look
under and which ones not to look under. Therefore, subnet masking allows the router
to transfer the packet traffic more quickly than a network without a subnet. Again, this
address is obtained from the network administrator, IP host, or host provider.
•
Default Router IP
If you have an established network, use the IP address for the router already set up for
that network. If you do not have an established network, leave this entry blank.
•
Default TTL
This information should already be entered. The IP host on the Internet will send out
each packet with a default "Time to Live" parameter. If you want to override the factory
default of 64 attempts, you can specify your new default here. This parameter should

Note: Click Select to view the IP Mask List. Select the appropriate IP Mask and click OK.
After you have finished entering the appropriate information, click OK.
Now save the changes to the brouter. From the File menu, choose Save Config.
A message box appears informing you that the information will be saved to the brouter (i.e.,
128.104.22.4). Click Yes.
The Configurator confirms that the configuration has been saved. Click OK. The computer
will reboot at this point.

choose IP Routing Setup from the Setup menu on the SPEEDLAN Configurator. This dialog box
must be completed before saving any configuration in which IP Routing has been enabled. Saving
the configuration with incomplete entries in the route table will render the SPEEDLAN 4100

•
Default Router (IP Address)
This entry should be set to the IP address of the default router that the SPEEDLAN 4100/
4200 is to use when it does not know where to route a particular IP packet.
•
Default Router Interface
This entry should be set to the interface to which the default router is connected.
•
Preferred IP Address
From time to time routers will transmit unsolicited IP packets such as SNMP Traps, Syslog,
RIP, or IP ARP packets. Most routers randomly use one of the IP addresses from one of the
router's interfaces as the source IP address for these packets. On the brouter you can specify
the source IP address that you prefer to use for these packets.
IP-Router Setup
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
•
Default TTL
IP hosts on the Internet send out packets with a default "Time To Live" parameter. If you want
to override the factory default of 64 attempts, specify your new default value here.
•
Disable ARP-Cache Aging
Use this option if you want to keep a permanent record of the IP to Ethernet addresses table
for each computer directly connected to an interface on the brouter. This feature is helpful
when used in conjunction with a corporate-wide SNMP monitoring tool to create a
database of all Ethernet-to-IP address combinations on your network. A standard IP router
and the bridge will age their ARP cache entries. It will time out and delete the ARP entries
after a certain specified period (usually 10 minutes). The brouter has the option of not
aging (deleting) any ARP cache entries. This will not normally cause any IP network
problems, but this could result in a large ARP cache table. Since the typical brouter can
hold over 10,000 ARP entries, this is not normally a problem.
Add/Direct Button
Click this button to specify the direct routes for each of the interfaces on the brouter. Direct routes
are those that are directly connected to the interfaces. As an example, if Interface 1 is to have subnet
128.146.6.0 connected to it and an IP address of 128.146.6.1 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, an entry in this dialog box should be set up as: IP Address = 128.146.6.1; IP
Mask = FFFFFF00; and Interface = 1.

128.146.11.20, in order for this brouter to route packets to 198.17.74.1 you should specify an
entry that is set up as: IP Address = 198.17.74.0; IP Mask = FFFFFF00; Next Hop =
128.146.11.20 with Cost = 1.

Click this button on the IP Router Setup dialog box to enable RIP. Wave Wireless brouters support
what is known as RIP (Routing Information Protocol). RIP allows users to permit network equipment to
communicate with each other to handle the routing plan of your network. Select the appropriate
check boxes as described below:
IP-Router Setup
•
Send RIP Default Route
Enabling this feature instructs the brouter to inform the network (via RIP) that it is the default
router for that network. This feature should only be enabled if this brouter is the only
default router on the local network.
•
Send RIP Routes
Enabling this feature instructs the brouter to forward all route information gathered and
stored by this brouter through the interface(s) selected. This is normally used in conjunction
with Listen to RIP which instructs the brouter to gather RIP information from other RIP devices
on your network.
8-5
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
8-6
•
Listen to RIP
This function enables the brouter to listen for and update its RIP information. The routes
gathered in this manner come from other RIP-enabled routers on your network. This feature
is normally used in conjunction with Send RIP Routes, which instructs the brouter to pass
along all RIP information it has gathered to other RIP devices on your network.
•
Enable Proxy ARP
This feature allows the brouter to be used as the proxy host for users on the local network.
This instructs the brouter to act as a "proxy" for the local destination host. This is used in
circumstances that require connections not normally permitted for individual users on a
network.
•
Enable BOOTP/DHCP Forwarding
This feature allows the brouter to pass BOOTP and DHCP requests across the wireless network.
•
Forwarding Host
Defines the IP address of the device configured to act as the forwarding host for BOOTP
and DHCP messages in a routed network.
•
Accept RIP For the Following Routes
Normally RIP instructs the brouter to forward all route information gathered to all RIP
devices located on you network. Specifying devices in the RIP Access List allows you to limit
which devices will be sent RIP. The devices specified in this list will be the only devices to
receive RIP, while all other devices will be denied the RIP information stored on this brouter.

Bit Error Rate
A measure of the number of errors in a digital transmission. Typically given as an exponential number that represents the
ratio of errors to total bits. Example: 1E-03 = 0.001 = 1.0 x 10-3 and 1.0E-6 = 0.000001 = 1.0 x 10-3. A single element in a binary code. A measure of the number of errors in a digital transmission. Typically given as an exponential
number that represents the ratio of errors to total bits. Example: 1E-03 = 0.001 = 1.0 x 10-3 and 1.0E-6 = 0.000001

Bridge
The function of a bridge is to connect separate networks together. This device operates at the DataLink Layer of the OSI
model. Bridges connect different network types (such as Fast Ethernet and Ethernet) or networks of the same type. Bridges
allow only necessary traffic to pass through the designated segments. When the bridge receives a packet, the bridge determines the destination and source segments. If the segments are the same, the packet is dropped, or filtered. If the segments are different, then the packet is “forwarded” to the correct segment. Additionally, bridges do not forward bad or
misaligned packets. Bridges are also called “store-and-forward” devices because they look at the whole Ethernet packet
before making filtering or forwarding decisions. Filtering packets, and regenerating forwarded packets enables bridging
technology to split a network into separate collision domains.
Brouter
This device is a combination of a router and a bridge in one product.

Ethernet
This is the most popular physical layer LAN technology in use today. Other LAN types include Token Ring, Fast Ethernet,
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Local Talk. Ethernet is popular because it
strikes a good balance between speed, cost and ease of installation. These benefits, combined with wide acceptance in
the computer marketplace, create the ability to support virtually all-popular networks and make Ethernet an ideal networking technology for most computer users today. The Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) defines the Ethernet as IEEE Standard 802.3. This standard defines rules for configuring an Ethernet, as well as specifying how elements in
an Ethernet network interact with one another. By adhering to the IEEE standard, network equipment and network protocols will communicate efficiently.
Ethernet Switch
This device helps expand the Ethernet network. LAN switches can link four, six, ten or more networks together, and have
two basic architectures. This switch “cuts through” and “stores and forwards” as well. This technique takes more time to
examine the entire packet, but it allows the switch to catch certain packet errors and keep them from propagating through
the network. A switch also operates between the DataLink and Network Layer of the OSI model. It reads the MAC address
and will either bridge it to the Physical Layer or route to the Network Layer.
Fade Margin

This common method of accessing the physical network allows multiple protocols to peacefully coexist over the network media, and allows the builder of the network to use common hardware for a
variety of protocols. This concept is known as “protocol independence,” which means that devices that are compatible at
the physical and data link layers allowing the user to run many different protocols over the same medium.
Pseudo-random Noise code (PN code)
A high rate digital code that mimics random noise-like properties. It is multiplied with a lower rate data signal in order to
achieve spread spectrum transmission signals. The receiver then multiplies the same code back into the transmission to
recover the data signal.
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
This refers to a worldwide voice telephone network accessible to all those with telephones and access privileges.
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
A method for modulating a signal by which more than one bit can be sent simultaneously.
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
Phase-shift keying in which there are four phase states or positions in the time or frequency domains within a single period.
Radiation
The flow of electromagnetic energy from a transmitter.
Radiation Pattern
An illustration of the energy level radiated by an antenna in every direction.
Radio address
This is the physical location (street name) of the terminal. This is also displayed at the bottom of the web page.
Radio Frequency (RF)
The frequency at which microwave systems transmit.

SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
The RSSI Voltage provided at the output of the RF Unit that is used to indicate the RF Input Level.
Reflection
The sharp change in direction of a wave after hitting an obstruction in its path.
Refraction
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.
Reliability
A measure of the percentage of time the system is operating. Reliability is usually a measure of both the availability of the
signal and the MTBF of the equipment.
Responsible personnel
This is the person(s) responsible for maintaining the radio system.
RF Signal Level
The strength of the power received by the RF Unit from the antenna.
Right arrow
This is the right arrow key on your keyboard.
Router
This device filters out network traffic by specific protocol rather than by packet address. This device operates at the
Network layer of the OSI model. Routers also divide networks logically instead of physically. An IP router can divide a
network into various subnets so that only traffic designated for particular IP addresses can pass between segments.
Network speed often decreases due to this type of intelligent forwarding. Such filtering takes more time than exercised in a
switch or bridge, which only looks at the Ethernet address. In more complex networks, overall efficiency is improved by
using routers.
Rx (Receiver)
This is where the packet is going.
Server
A computer that is responsible for tracking, as well as receiving and sending requests from other computers connected to
it (on the same network).
Glossary-15
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Sidelobe
These are 20 dB lower than the main lobe, and it is critical from a performance standpoint that antennas are aligned with
respect to the main lobe. Failure to do so may cause the radio to be interfered with or the radio may interfere with other
systems.
Signal level
This is the value of the signal level at the receiving end of the transmission path.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The standard protocol for TCP/IP network management that has the most common worldwide use.
Site ID (Unique)
This is the alphanumeric site address given to the terminal by you (the user).
Spread Spectrum Technology (SST)
A method of encoding (with a PN code) a digital signal in a transmitter so as to spread it over a wide range of frequencies
so that the average signal power is close to the noise floor. The same code is known to the receiver and is used to decode
the signal. Keeping the code secret provides communications security.
Submask
This term allows you to mask section(s) (depending on the class specified) of the octets in the network address. Each octet
used in the subnet mask is assigned to a data link. The leftover octet(s) are assigned to the remaining nodes.
Subnet
This term allows you to create multiple networks within one Class A, B, or C network. Each data link (octet) contains its
own unique identifier also known as the subnet. Also, each node on the same data link must belong on the same subnet
as well.
Symbol Threshold
After a signal has been acquired, the acquisition algorithm in the spread-spectrum chip continues to run a cross-correlation between the expected PN sequence and the received signal, but now uses the Symbol Threshold for comparison. If
the result of the cross-correlation drops below the Symbol Threshold, the signal is considered to have been lost, and the
algorithm begins trying to acquire the signal again.
Glossary-16
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
System Gain
The sum of the transmitter power output and the receiver sensitivity. System gain is an important measure of a system’s
ability to overcome attenuation and perform to a satisfactory level. These are measured in decibels per meter (dBm).
Tx (Transceiver)
This is where the packet is coming from.
WAN
A wide-area metropolitan network is a connection between LANs, which may be privately owned or rented.

LICENSED MATERIALS OR ANY COPIES THEREOF IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. The Customer or Reseller shall not reverse assemble or reverse compile the Licensed product or any copy thereof in whole or in part.
Return Policies and Warranties
Initial One Year Warranty Term
Each Wave Wireless product is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from date
of shipment. During the warranty period Wave Wireless will, at its option, repair or replace products that prove to be
defective.
If equipment fails, the Customer or Reseller shall notify Wave Wireless and request a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
number. For warranty service or repair, this product must be returned to Wave Wireless. All returns to Wave Wireless
MUST have a valid RMA number written clearly on the outside of the box or the shipment will be refused. The
buyer shall pay all return shipping charges during the one-year warranty. All outbound shipments will be made
via ground shipment by Wave Wireless or via air courier with the customer's account number with the exception of
Extended / "Spare in the Air" Warranty holders.
Extended Warranty Policies (Includes "Spare in the Air")
At any time during the first year following an equipment purchase, an Extended Warranty Policy may be purchased for 10%
of the original list price. Terms of the Extended Warranty include "Spare in the Air" privileges to allow the use of parts or a
spare unit temporarily.
Product License Agreement-1
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
"Spare in the Air" Loaner Unit or Parts Replacement Policies
For an additional 10% of list price, the customer may purchase a "Spare in the Air" policy. This policy gives the customer
the right to a loaner replacement unit shipped within 24 hours of acceptance of the RMA by Wave. All outbound shipments
will be made via overnight air courier (during the first year).
"Spare in the Air" Policy Steps for Warranty or Extended Warranty Loaner Service
1. Customer obtains RMA approval
2. Overnight shipment of spare unit or parts to customer within 24 hours of approved RMA. Customer
swaps unit or part(s) with phone assistance, if required.
3. Customer returns part(s) to Wave Wireless. All returns to Wave Wireless MUST have a valid RMA number
written clearly on the outside of the box or the shipment will be refused.
4. After 14 days from the issuance of an RMA, an invoice for the list price of the unit or components will be issued
for any equipment that has not been returned. This will be credited upon the return of the defective
or replacement part or unit to Wave Wireless.
Extended Warranty Pricing Schedule
1st year: 10% of published equipment list price
2nd year: 15% of published equipment list price
3rd year: 15% of published equipment list price
*If all three years are purchased simultaneously, the cost will be 10% per year or 30% of list.
Years 2 & 3 can be purchased during the initial year of coverage if the equipment was under extended warranty during the
first year or if a physical on-site equipment inspection is performed and equipment is evaluated in warrantable condition
by Wave Wireless personnel at prevailing or site service call rates.
Onsite Services
Onsite services for troubleshooting and repair are billed at daily rate, plus expenses, unless otherwise agreed upon. Use of
spectrum analyzers or other test equipment may raise the daily rate.
Rental Unit Loaner
Customer may rent a unit at an agreed upon daily rate, plus shipping expenses, in lieu of purchasing a spare or "Spare in
the Air" policy. Rental days are counted from date shipped until the date the unit is received in return by Wave Wireless.
Refurbishing Fees
Any product returned that requires refurbishing, is damaged due to inadequate or improper packaging protection, or that
has not been returned with original packing materials may be subject to a refurbishing fee.
Bench Test and Repair Time
A unit is returned as defective and through bench testing is determined that the unit is not defective, Wave Wireless, at its
discretion, may charge bench test time at a rate of $85 U.S. per hour for testing and troubleshooting. Out of warranty
repairs will be performed at a rate of $85 U.S. per hour plus parts. All shipping charges will be the responsibility of the
customer.
Product License Agreement-2
SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Return for Credit
All returns to Wave Wireless MUST have a valid RMA number written clearly on the outside of the box or the
shipment will be refused. No returns for credit after 30 days will be approved. Products must be returned undamaged
and in original packaging or they will be subject to a minimum 20% restocking/refurbishing fee. Return freight charges
must be prepaid. At the option of Wave Wireless, products may be returned for repair or replaced provided the goods
have not been modified or repair attempted by someone other than Wave Wireless.
Limitation of Warranty
The foregoing warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from improper or inadequate maintenance by the buyer, buyer
supplied interfacing, unauthorized modification or misuse, operation outside of the environmental specifications for the
product, or improper site preparation or maintenance. Systems must be protected from electrical brownouts and
