Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
If you are a typical user, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your LAN
PCs because your ISP automatically assigns this information for you.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your
PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the device to assign it. This
option may be desirable (but not required) if:
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always
associate with specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as a
public web server).
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in Appendix
B).
Before you begin, you must have the following information available:
The IP address and subnet mask of each PC
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the
address assigned to the LAN port on the device. By default, the LAN port is
assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number or another
number can be assigned by your ISP.)
The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions relating
only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow
the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of
enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server and default
gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.
Note
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the device’s LAN port.

Configuring Wireless PCs
You need to configure the operating system installed on your Wireless PCs using the same
procedure described for Configuring Ethernet PCs section.
Positioning the wireless PCs
The wireless network cards used determine the maximum distance between your wireless
PCs and your device. Guidelines on positioning the hardware components of your wireless
network should be provided by your network card provider.
Wireless PC cards and drivers
Each PC on your wireless LAN must be fitted with a wireless access card. You must also
install the corresponding driver files for your particular wireless card on your PC. You
should receive driver files and instructions on how to install them together with your
wireless card.
Configuring PC access to your Wireless device
Before you start configuring your Wireless PC, you must ensure that you have:
A Wireless access card for each of the PCs
Corresponding wireless access card driver software files
The configuration steps below will vary depending on both the operating system and
wireless card installed on the PC. These steps provide a basic outline, however you should
refer to the documentation provided with your wireless access card for specific instructions.
To configure Wireless PCs:
Install the wireless access card.
Install the wireless driver software files.
Configure the following wireless parameters on each of the wireless PCs:
•Set the adapter to use infrastructure mode. This configures the PCs to access each
other and the Internet via the device.
•Configure the SSID and channel to match the SSID and channel previously configured
on the device.
Your wireless network can now communicate with the Internet via the device.

Configuring USB PC
Connecting a computer to the USB port
If you use the device’s USB port to connect to a PC, you must install the provided USB driver
software on the PC. The driver enables Ethernet-over-USB communication with the device.
Configuring the USB computer is a two-part process:
In Part 1, you install the USB driver on the PC.
If your computer is running Windows 2000, 98, 98 SE, XP or ME, follow the
instructions given below.
In Part 2, you configure the IP properties on the USB PC.
Part 1. Installing the USB Driver
Ensure that the USB cable is not connected to the USB port on the PC. The installation
program will prompt you when to connect the cable.
This USB driver supports Windows 2000, 98, 98 SE, XP or ME
1. Find the USB driver in the CD, double-click on setup.exe to start the DSL
Modem Setup Wizard.
The Installing window displays as the Wizard prepares your system for the installation:
Figure 83: USB Setup Wizard: Installing Window
If a Microsoft digital signature dialog box is displayed, click Yes to continue.
The installation program will begin copying the necessary installation files to the required
locations. When complete, a window displays to prompt you to connect the USB cable to
your computer.

You have now finished installing the driver. You do not need to restart your computer.
Proceed to Part 2. Configuring IP properties on the USB PC.
Part 2. Configuring IP properties on the USB PC
Now that the USB driver installation is complete, you must configure the USB PC so that its
IP properties place it in the same subnet as the device’s USB port. There are two ways to do
this:
The device is configured to assign an appropriate IP address to the USB PC. If you want to
use this automatic assignment feature, called “DHCP server,”you must configure the USB
PC to accept dynamically assigned IP information. Follow the instruction on Configuring
Ethernet PC section that corresponds to the operating system installed on your PC.
If you want to assign a static IP address to the PC, follow the instructions on Configuring
Ethernet PC section and use the following information:
In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, be sure to select the icon that corresponds
to your new USB connection (not the one that corresponds to your Ethernet NIC). When you
display properties for the icon, the following text should display in the Connect Using text
box:
USB IAD LAN Modem #n
The USB port on the device is preconfigured with these properties:
USB port IP address:192.168.1.100 (for example)
USB port subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Therefore, your PC must be configured as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.n where n is a number from 2 to 254 that does not conflict with the
DHCP address range.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

IP Addresses
Note
This section refers only to IP addresses for IPv4 (version 4 of the Internet
Protocol). IPv6 addresses are not covered.
This section assumes basic knowledge of binary numbers, bits, and bytes.
IP addresses, the Internet's version of telephone numbers, are used to identify individual
nodes (computers or devices) on the Internet. Every IP address contains four numbers, each
from 0 to 255 and separated by dots (periods), e.g. 20.56.0.211. These numbers are called,
from left to right, field1, field2, field3, and field4.
This style of writing IP addresses as decimal numbers separated by dots is called dotted
decimal notation. The IP address 20.56.0.211 is read "twenty dot fifty-six dot zero dot
two-eleven."
Structure of an IP address
IP addresses have a hierarchical design similar to that of telephone numbers. For example, a
7-digit telephone number starts with a 3-digit prefix that identifies a group of thousands of
telephone lines, and ends with four digits that identify one specific line in that group.
Similarly, IP addresses contain two kinds of information:
Network ID
Identifies a particular network within the Internet or intranet
Host ID
Identifies a particular computer or device on the network
The first part of every IP address contains the network ID, and the rest of the address
contains the host ID. The length of the network ID depends on the network's class (see
following section). The table below shows the structure of an IP address.
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Class A Network ID Host ID
Class B Network ID Host ID
Class C Network ID Host ID
Here are some examples of valid IP addresses:
Class A: 10.30.6.125 (network = 10, host = 30.6.125)
Class B: 129.88.16.49 (network = 129.88, host = 16.49)
Class C: 192.60.201.11 (network = 192.60.201, host = 11)
Network classes
The three commonly used network classes are A, B, and C. (There is also a class D but it has
a special use beyond the scope of this discussion.) These classes have different uses and
characteristics.
Class A networks are the Internet's largest networks, each with room for over 16 million
hosts. Up to 126 of these huge networks can exist, for a total of over 2 billion hosts. Because
of their huge size, these networks are used for WANs and by organizations at the
infrastructure level of the Internet, such as your ISP.
Class B networks are smaller but still quite large, each able to hold over 65,000 hosts. There
can be up to 16,384 class B networks in existence. A class B network might be appropriate
for a large organization such as a business or government agency.
X7968r / X7967r / X7927r / X7922r User’s Guide
76
Class C networks are the smallest, only able to hold 254 hosts at most, but the total possible
number of class C networks exceeds 2 million (2,097,152 to be exact). LANs connected to the
Internet are usually class C networks.
Some important notes regarding IP addresses:
The class can be determined easily from field1:
field1 = 1-126: Class A
field1 = 128-191: Class B
field1 = 192-223: Class C
(field1 values not shown are reserved for special uses)
A host ID can have any value except all fields set to 0 or all fields set to 255, as
those values are reserved for special uses.
Subnet masks
Definition
mask
A mask looks like a regular IP address, but contains a pattern of
bits that tells what parts of an IP address are the network ID and
what parts are the host ID: bits set to 1 mean "this bit is part of the
network ID" and bits set to 0 mean "this bit is part of the host ID."
Subnet masks are used to define subnets (what you get after dividing a network into smaller
pieces). A subnet's network ID is created by "borrowing" one or more bits from the host ID
portion of the address. The subnet mask identifies these host ID bits.
For example, consider a class C network 192.168.1. To split this into two subnets, you would
use the subnet mask:
255.255.255.128
It's easier to see what's happening if we write this in binary:
11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000
As with any class C address, all of the bits in field1 through field3 are part of the network ID,
but note how the mask specifies that the first bit in field4 is also included. Since this extra bit
has only two values (0 and 1), this means there are two subnets. Each subnet uses the
remaining 7 bits in field4 for its host IDs, which range from 1 to 126 hosts (instead of the
usual 0 to 255 for a class C address).
Similarly, to split a class C network into four subnets, the mask is:
255.255.255.192 or 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11000000
The two extra bits in field4 can have four values (00, 01, 10, 11), so there are four subnets.
Each subnet uses the remaining six bits in field4 for its host IDs, ranging from 1 to 62.
Note
Sometimes a subnet mask does not specify any additional
network ID bits, and thus no subnets. Such a mask is called a
default subnet mask. These masks are:
Class A: 255.0.0.0
Class B: 255.255.0.0
Class C:255.255.255.0
These are called default because they are used when a network is
initially configured, at which time it has no subnets.

Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities
Ping
Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other computers
on your network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to the computer you
specify. If the computer receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you
must know the IP address of the computer with which you are trying to communicate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start menu. Click
the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type a statement such as the
following:
ping 192.168.1.1
Click OK. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP address for
an Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt window is displayed:
If the target computer cannot be located, you will receive the message Request timed out.
Using the ping command, you can test whether the path to the device is working (using the
preconfigured default LAN IP address 192.168.1.1) or another address you assigned.
You can also test whether access to the Internet is working by typing an external address,
such as that for www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243). If you do not know the IP address of a
particular Internet location, you can use the nslookup command, as explained in the
following section.
From most other IP-enabled operating systems, you can execute the same command at a
command prompt or through a system administration utility.
nslookup
You can use the nslookup command to determine the IP address associated with an Internet
site name. You specify the common name, and the nslookup command looks up the name in
on your DNS server (usually located with your ISP). If that name is not an entry in your ISP’s
DNS table, the request is then referred to another higher-level server, and so on, until the
entry is found. The server then returns the associated IP address.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the nslookup command from the Start
menu. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the following:
Nslookup
Click OK. A Command Prompt window displays with a bracket prompt (>). At the prompt,
type the name of the Internet address that you are interested in, such as
www.microsoft.com.
The window will display the associate IP address, if known, as shown below:
X7968r / X7967r / X7927r / X7922r User’s Guide

There may be several addresses associated with an Internet name. This is common for web
sites that receive heavy traffic; they use multiple, redundant servers to carry the same
information.
To exit from the nslookup utility, type exit and press [Enter] at the command prompt.

Attribute Value
Detect Noise Enables/disables noise detection (only valid for
Annex AHS)
Capability This parameter controls whether the CPE will
attempt to startup using alternate standards if
the CO does not support G.Span (High Speed
(HS)).
The CPE has the ability to connect in either
ADSL Annex A or G.Span. This is provided by
the ADSL/Annex A /G.Span Auto Detect feature.
The standard used depends on the capability of
the CO.
Using Auto Detect, startup at the CPE is first
attempted in Annex A. The CO is the master and
the CPE is the slave. If the result of handshake
with the CO is G.Span (HS), then the CPE will
switch to G.Span. If the CO does not support
G.Span, then the resultant connection will be
ADSL Annex A.
This parameter must be set to AHS to configure
the modem for A & HS ‘two-speed’ Auto Detect.
For Auto Detect, all other parameters should be
set to the Annex A profile. If UTOPIA Level 2
framing is set (using the UtopiaInterface
parameter), ensure that the UTOPIA address is
set (using the PhysicalPort parameter) as there
is no default value. If the result of handshake
with the CO is G.Span (HS), then the CPE will
switch to G.Span and the appropriate CPE
parameters will be automatically re-configured
by the DSP for G.Span operation.
A: Annex A capable
AHS: Annex A or High Speed capable
Disable: the device does not send any standards
capability information to the CO.
Coding Gain The gain due to trellis/RS coding. Its value
ranges from 0-7 dB. Auto automatically selects
the coding gain.

ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
The most commonly deployed "flavor" of DSL for
home users is asymmetrical DSL. The term
asymmetrical refers to its unequal data rates for
downloading and uploading (the download rate is
higher than the upload rate). The asymmetrical
rates benefit home users because they typically
download much more data from the Internet than
they upload.
Analog An analog signal is a signal that has had its
frequency modified in some way, such as by
amplifying its strength or varying its frequency, in
order to add information to the signal. The voice
component in DSL is an analog signal. See digital.
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
A standard for high-speed transmission of data,
text, voice, and video, widely used within the
Internet. ATM data rates range from 45 Mbps to
2.5 Gbps. See data rate.
Authenticate To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for
a password.
Binary The "base two" system of numbers that uses only
two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all numbers. In
binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as
11, 4 as 100, etc. Although expressed as decimal
numbers for convenience, IP addresses in actual
use are binary numbers; e.g., the IP address
209.191.4.240 is
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary.
See bit, IP address, network mask.

Bps bits per second
Bridging Passing data from your network to your ISP and
vice versa using the hardware addresses of the
devices at each location. Bridging contrasts with
routing which can add more intelligence to data
transfers by using network addresses instead. The
device can perform both routing and bridging.
Typically, when both functions are enabled, the
device routes IP data and bridges all other types of
data. See routing.
Broadband A telecommunications technology that can send
different types of data over the same medium. DSL
is a broadband technology.
Broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP automates address assignment and
management. When a computer connects to the
LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a
shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time
limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool.
DHCP relay Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay
A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP
data between computers that request IP
addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the
addresses. Each of the device's interfaces can be
configured as a DHCP relay. See DHCP.
DHCP server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible
for assigning IP addresses to the computers on a
LAN. See DHCP.
Digital Of data, having a form based on discrete values
expressed as binary numbers (0's and 1's). The
data component in DSL is a digital signal. See
analog.
DNS Domain Name System
The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses.
DNS information is distributed hierarchically
throughout the Internet among computers called
DNS servers. For example, www.yahoo.com is the
domain name associated with IP address
216.115.108.243. When you start to access a web
site, a DNS server looks up the requested domain
name to find its corresponding IP address. If the
DNS server cannot find the IP address, it
communicates with higher-level DNS servers to
determine the IP address. See domain name.
Domain name A domain name is a user-friendly name used in
place of its associated IP address. Domain names
must be unique; their assignment is controlled by
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN). Domain names are a key
element of URLs, which identify a specific file at a

A program used to transfer files between
computers connected to the Internet. Common
uses include uploading new or updated files to a
web server, and downloading files from a web
server.
Gbps Abbreviation of Gigabits per second, or one billion
bits per second. Internet data rates are often
expressed in Gbps.
Host A device (usually a computer) connected to a
network.
HTTP Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol

from web sites so that it can be displayed by web
browsers. See web browser, web site.
Hub A hub is a place of convergence where data
arrives from one or more directions and is
forwarded out in one or more directions. It
connects an Ethernet bridge/router to a group of
PCs on a LAN and allows communication to pass
between the networked devices.
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
An Internet protocol used to report errors and
other network-related information. The ping
command makes use of ICMP.
IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers is a technical professional society that
fosters the development of standards that often

IP See TCP/IP.
IP address Internet Protocol address
The address of a host (computer) on the Internet,
consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255,
separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP
address consists of a network ID that identifies the
particular network the host belongs to, and a host
ID uniquely identifying the host itself on that
network. A network mask is used to define the
network ID and the host ID. Because IP addresses
are difficult to remember, they usually have an
associated domain name that can be specified
instead. See domain name, network mask.
ISP Internet Service Provider
A company that provides Internet access to its
customers, usually for a fee.
LAN Local Area Network.
A network limited to a small geographic area, such
as a home or small office.
LED Light Emitting Diode
An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator
lights on the front of the device are LEDs.
MAC address Media Access Control address
The permanent hardware address of a device,
assigned by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are
expressed as six pairs of hex characters, with
each pair separated by colons. For example;
NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN.
Mask See network mask.
Mbps Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one
million bits per second. Network data rates are
often expressed in Mbps.
NAT Network Address Translation
A service performed by many routers that
translates your network’s publicly known IP
address into a private IP address for each
computer on your LAN. Only your router and your
LAN know these addresses; the outside world
sees only the public IP address when talking to a
computer on your LAN.
Network A group of computers that are connected together,
allowing them to communicate with each other and
share resources, such as software, files, etc. A
network can be small, such as a LAN, or very
large, such as the Internet.

Network keys (Also known as encryption keys.) 64-bit and
128-bit encryption keys used in WEP wireless
security schemes. The keys encrypt data over the
WLAN, and only wireless PCs configured with
WEP keys that correspond to the keys configured
on the device can send/receive encrypted data.
Network mask A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an
IP address to select the network ID while ignoring
the host ID. Bits set to 1 mean "select this bit"
while bits set to 0 mean "ignore this bit." For
example, if the network mask 255.255.255.0 is
applied to the IP address 100.10.50.1, the network
ID is 100.10.50, and the host ID is 1. See binary,
IP address, subnet.
NIC Network Interface Card
An adapter card that plugs into your computer and
provides the physical interface to your network
cabling. For Ethernet NICs this is typically an
RJ-45 connector. See Ethernet, RJ-45.
Packet Data transmitted on a network consists of units
called packets. Each packet contains a payload
(the data), plus overhead information such as
where it came from (source address) and where it
should go (destination address).
Ping Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper
A program used to verify whether the host
associated with an IP address is online. It can also
be used to reveal the IP address for a given
domain name.
Port A physical access point to a device such as a
computer or router, through which data flows into
and out of the device.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol
A protocol for serial data transmission that is used
to carry IP (and other protocol) data between your
ISP and your computer. The WAN interface on the
device uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and
PPPoE. See PPPoA, PPPoE.
PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can
define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type
being PPPoE. You can define only one PPPoA
interface per VC.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can
define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type
being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE
interfaces per VC.
Protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data.
In order for a data transmission to work, both ends
of the connection have to follow the rules of the
protocol.
Remote In a physically separate location. For example, an
employee away on travel who logs in to the
company’s intranet is a remote user.

machines, modems, etc. to a telephone port. It is a
6-pin connector usually containing four wires.
RJ-45 Registered Jack Standard-45
The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over
phone lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this
type of connector.
Routing Forwarding data between your network and the
Internet on the most efficient route, based on the
data’s destination IP address and current network
conditions. A device that performs routing is called
a router.
SDNS Secondary Domain Name System (server)
A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN
server is not available. See DNS.
Subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is
distinguished from the larger network by a subnet
mask that selects some of the computers of the
network and excludes all others. The subnet's
computers remain physically connected to the rest
of the parent network, but they are treated as
though they were on a separate network. See
network mask.
Subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
TCP See TCP/IP.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is
responsible for dividing data up into packets for
delivery and reassembling them at the destination,
while IP is responsible for delivering the packets
from source to destination. When TCP and IP are
bundled with higher-level applications such as
HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this
whole suite of protocols.
Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to
access a remote computer. While HTTP (the web
protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files
from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log
into and use a computer from a remote location.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use
than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as
capable or secure.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides
WPA with a data encryption function. It ensures
that a unique master key is generated for each
packet, supports message integrity and
X7968r / X7967r / X7927r / X7922r User’s Guide
92
sequencing rules and supports re-keying
mechanisms.
Triggers Triggers are used to deal with application
protocols that create separate sessions. Some
applications, such as NetMeeting, open secondary
connections during normal operations, for
example, a connection to a server is established
using one port, but data transfers are performed
on a separate connection. A trigger tells the device
to expect these secondary sessions and how to
handle them.
Once you set a trigger, the embedded IP address
of each incoming packet is replaced by the correct
host address so that NAT can translate packets to
the correct destination. You can specify whether
you want to carry out address replacement, and if
so, whether to replace addresses on TCP packets
only, UDP packets only, or both.
Twisted pair The ordinary copper telephone wiring used by
telephone companies. It contains one or more wire
pairs twisted together to reduce inductance and
noise. Each telephone line uses one pair. In
homes, it is most often installed with two pairs. For
Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called Category 3
(CAT 3) is used for 10BASE-T networks, and an
even higher grade called Category 5 (CAT 5) is
used for 100BASE-T networks. See 10BASE-T,
100BASE-T, Ethernet.
Unnumbered
interfaces
An unnumbered interface is an IP interface that
does not have a local subnet associated with it.
Instead, it uses a router-id that serves as the
source and destination address of packets sent to
and from the router. Unlike the IP address of a
normal interface, the router-id of an unnumbered
interface is allowed to be the same as the IP
address of another interface. For example, the
WAN unnumbered interface of your device uses
the same IP address of the LAN interface
(192.168.1.1).
The unnumbered interface is temporary – PPP or
DHCP will assign a ‘real’ IP address automatically.
Upstream The direction of data transmission from the user to
the Internet.
VC Virtual Circuit
A connection from your DSL router to your ISP.
VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier
Together with the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), the
VCI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you
the VCI for each VC they provide. See VC.
VPI Virtual Path Identifier
Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), the
VPI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you

WAN Wide Area Network
Any network spread over a large geographical
area, such as a country or continent. With respect
to the device, WAN refers to the Internet.
Web browser A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) to download information from
(and upload to) web sites, and displays the
information, which may consist of text, graphic
images, audio, or video, to the user. Web browsers
use Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Popular
web browsers include Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer. See HTTP, web site,
WWW.
Web page A web site file typically containing text, graphics
and hyperlinks (cross-references) to the other
pages on that web site, as well as to pages on
other web sites. When a user accesses a web site,
the first page that is displayed is called the home
page. See hyperlink, web site.
Web site A computer on the Internet that distributes
information to (and gets information from) remote
users through web browsers. A web site typically
consists of web pages that contain text, graphics,
and hyperlinks. See hyperlink, web page.
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts data
over WLANs. Data is encrypted into blocks of
either 64 bits length or 128 bits length. The
encrypted data can only be sent and received by
users with access to a private network key. Each
PC on your wireless network must be manually
configured with the same key as your device in
order to allow wireless encrypted data
transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot access your
network if they do not know your private key. WEP
is considered to be a low security option.
Wireless Wireless is a term used to describe
telecommunications in which electromagnetic
waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the
signal over part or the entire communication path.
See wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN A wireless LAN (WLAN) is one in which a mobile
user can connect to a local area network (LAN)
through a wireless (radio) connection. A standard,
IEEE 802.11, specifies the technologies for
wireless LANs.
WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA is an initiative by the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance
to address the security limitations of WEP. WPA
provides a stronger data encryption method
(called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It
runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode
called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that allows you to
manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in
your wireless network. WPA data encryption is
based on a WPA master key. The master key is
derived from the pass phrase and the network
name (SSID) of the device.
