guidelines:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The antenna should be directed towards the area intended to be covered, with maximum possible lines
of sight for client locations. Generally speaking, the higher the placement of the antenna, the better the
link quality achievable. For WBSn-2400-S, the coverage zone is 120° wide.
The location of the unit should enable easy access for installation and testing.
When installing in locations where other devices exist that operate in the same frequency range, ensure
that recommended distances are adhered to.
The ideal height at which a base station should be installed is 2 meters above the rooftops of the
buildings within the coverage zone.
The omni-directional unit should be installed at the highest point of a metal pole. This is to ensure that
there is no interference caused by the close proximity of the unit to the metal. Where this is not
possible, the unit should be kept at least 1 meter from the metal pole.
Keeping the maximum distance possible from an RF radiating source is recommended.

WMM Classification
Packet prioritization over Wi-Fi is based on four access categories defined
by the WMM standard:
• Voice traffic
• Video traffic
• Best effort traffic
• Background traffic
A packet sent to the Ethernet interface of the base station is classified as
one of the Access categories. This classification is performed using
ToS, DSCP or VLAN priorities. For information about classification
configuration, please see QoS Packet Priority.
ACL Group
The ACL (Access Control List) controls who can access the VAP.
A list is created according to specific parameters, and given a unique
name, and will either define a white group (those users permitted VAP
access), or a black group (those users denied VAP access).

Authentication Combinations
WBS-2400 allows the following authentication types and combinations.
•
Open (none) and Shared Key are the basic 802.11n authentications. In Shared Key authentication,
the WEP key is used as the shared key. If the VAP is configured to Open + Shared Key, both types of
clients can associate to the WBSn.
•
The WPA authentication automatically presumes that the basic 802.11 authentication is Open. WPA
defines advanced authentications, either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) or RADIUS. The initial keys are
determined during the last phase of the WPA authentication.
•
When RADIUS Authentication is used, the RADIUS server can determine which VLAN belongs to which
user.
Note: WBSn-2400 supports multiple VLAN per VAP.
•
WBSn-2400 enables a VAP that supports both RADIUS and PSK authentication, with the exact method
determined according to the packet that comes from the client. If multiple VLANs are defined over such
a VAP, clients authenticated using PSK are assigned to the default VLAN, while clients authenticated
using RADIUS have their VLAN determined by the RADIUS.
•
Each VAP can have a different RADIUS server configured. This allows for the transportation of several
networks over the same infrastructure of WBSn-2400
WBSn-2400 Quick Start Guide

Encryption Methods
Legacy 802.11 clients can either connect using the Open authentication (see above), or WEP. In WEP, the
encryption key can be either 40bit or 104bit. In WPA, WBSn-2400 supports TKIP encryption.
In order to support legacy clients, (supporting only WEP), WBSn-2400 enables the TSN (Transient Security
Network) mode, which allows VAPs that support both WEP and TKIP clients. In this case, the broadcast key
is WEP, while the unicast key is either TKIP or WEP, depending on the manner in which the client is
connected to the system.
Note: When you configure a TSN VAP, key #1 is used by TKIP, and you should therefore configure the WEP
key as key #2.

4. Configure Authentication and Encryption parameters, as required (see Authentication Combinations, and
Encryption Methods, above).
5. Configure the QoS Prioritization (see QoS Packet Priority, below).
QoS (Quality of Service) Packet Priority
Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), also known as WiFi MultiMedia (WMM), provide basic QoS features
to IEEE 802.11n networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories (AC):
• Voice
• Video
• Best Effort
• Background
Traffic is prioritized by these access categories, and the implementation defined by the WMM standard.
Traffic is therefore suitable for applications that require QoS over WiFi, (for example, Voice over IP (VoIP).
Note: In order to allow QoS through the WBSn-2400, both ends of the network (CPE on the wireless side
and the switch/router on the Ethernet side) should support priority tagging. This permits the marking of a
specific packet with a specific priority.
Downlink, a packet from the wire-line network is received by the WBSn, and its priority detected. The
packet will be prioritized over the air according to WMM AC prioritization. When the packet reaches the CPE,
the CPE passes it to its LAN interface according to the packet definition.
Uplink, the CPE will detect the priority (as defined at the CPE) and will pass the frame with the correct
WMM AC characteristics, thus providing the priority classification on the wireless side.
Wireless Associations
The Wireless associations is a list of clients that are connected to the base station.

ACS (online, Offline)
The Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) utilizes an embedded algorithm to scan for the best channel with
which your base station can work, ensuring optimal capacity, minimal interference and maximum
performance.
Offline ACS performs a full scan of the available channels while the system is down, determining which
channels are the best and most interference-free, and prompting you to choose these channels prior to
resuming and reactivating the system .
Online ACS will run in the background while the system is up, checking the available channels, and whether
any of those available are better for use than the channels currently being utilized.
Note: The ACS will be enabled in a future release.
Accessing Automatic Channel Selection
1. Select Configuration => Wireless => Radio.
2. Expand the required field (Online ACS or Offline ACS) to specify the parameters, described in the
following table.
