1.5 Network Scenario

1.5.1 Installing a Single AG2000

Minimum System Requirements

Figure 1.1 Installing a Single AG2000 Network Scenario

The AG2000 provides a connection point to the wireless clients and the wired LAN (See figure above). It works with your existing Internet access equipment (such as a DSL modem or Cable modem) to provide a gateway to the Internet for your entire network.

Wireless LAN Network

You can easily create a wireless network using your AG2000. The PCs, PDAs or other electronic appliances on your wireless network must have 802.11b-compliant wireless devices already installed in them. The AG2000 is compatible with any wireless device that is certified by Wi-Fi. To be able to communicate with the AG2000 wireless network successfully, they all need to share the same SSID, channel number and operating mode (infrastructure) as the AG2000. Please refer to Chapter 4 for more detailed configurations of the AG2000.

Wired LAN Network

The AG2000 can also connect to the wired LAN through the connection from the Ethernet 10/ 100BaseT LAN ports on back of the unit. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the AG2000 to PCs on the LAN network. If you have more than 4 desktop computers in your wired LAN and want to connect to the AG2000, an extra hub or switch is required to be installed.

Network Scenario

1.5.2 Installing Multiple AG2000s

Figure 1.2 Installing Multiple AG2000s Network Scenario

Figure 1.2 displays a typical network scenario that involves multiple AG2000s and PCs. This type of network scenario provides a solution to larger buildings or homes where a single AG2000 wireless coverage range is inadequate. The Second Floor AG2000 connects to a DSL or Cable modem and acts as a router. The First Floor AG2000 connects to the Second Floor AG2000 and acts as a bridge, extending the wireless coverage area.

To complete the setup for Installing Multiple AG2000s, please follow the steps below:

Step 1. Connect the DSL or Cable modem’s Ethernet port to the Second Floor AG2000’s WAN port using a

RJ-45 straight-through Ethernet cable.

Step 2. Connect the Second Floor AG2000’s LAN port to the First Floor AG2000s’ LAN port using a RJ-45

straight-through Ethernet cable.

Step 3. Configure the Second Floor AG2000 by turning the DHCP and NAT features to ON. (DHCP and NAT

is ON by default, please refer to Chapter 4 “Configuration” for details)

Step 4. Configure the First Floor AG2000 by turning the DHCP and NAT features to OFF. (Please refer to the

Chapter 4 Configuration for details)

Network Scenario

Roaming

When a wireless client moves from one coverage area to another, the access point automatically performs client roaming within the same subnet and the service provided to the client is continuous and seamless. In order to roam in a multiple AG2000s environment, all AG2000s installed need to share the same SSID, channel number, and WEP keys (if enabled).

APPENDIX C: GLOSSARY

802.1X An IEEE standard for local and metropolitan area networks, called Port-based Network Access Control. It is used to securely establish an authenticated association between the client and the AP.

AP (Access Point) A hardware device, or software used in conjunction with a

computer, that serves as a communications “hub” for wireless clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN. An AP can double the range of wireless clients and provide enhanced security.

Ad-Hoc Mode A client setting that provides independent peer-to-peer

connectivity in a wireless LAN. An alternative set-up is where PCs communicate with each other through an AP (see also Infrastructure Mode).

Bandwidth The amount of data that can be transmitted by the network

“information highway”, used as an indication for speed of data transmission. An Ethernet link is capable of moving 10 million bits of data per second.

Bit The term used to refer to a single unit of data in digital data

communications. It takes 8 bits to make 1 byte, which is a unit of measurement for computer data.

Bps (Bits per second) Refers to the unit of measurement used for data transmission

speeds over a data communication link.

Bridge A hardware device that passes packets between multiple

network segments using the same networking protocol to connect the different network segments. Bridge operates at the hardware layer and has no routing capabilities.

Broadband Any high-bandwidth (see also Bandwidth) data

communication technology that runs at speeds of 200 Kbps or more and allows combined transmission of voice, data, and video over a single physical connection. Broadband is in contrast to narrowband such as traditional 56K analog modem. DSL, Cable, wireless, and satellite technology are all different types of broadband technology.

Byte A unit of data equaling to 8 bits (1 Byte = 8 bits).

DHCP (Dynamic

Host Configuration

Protocol) An Internet protocol that allows the DHCP server to

dynamically assign IP addresses to any client workstation (any device connected to your LAN, such as a PC) for a set period of time and then sends them back so that they can be reassigned to other workstations. This feature saves the ISP and Network Managers from having to manually configure IP addresses for each PC on the LAN.

DNS (Domain Name

System) A mechanism that translates host domain names into its

numeric IP Address and vice-versa. A domain name is an easy-to-remember nickname for numerical IP addresses required by a computer, such as [email protected].

AG2000Series Software User’s Guide June, 2002 41

Page 46

Encapsulation The encapsulating or enclosing data within a particular IP header. Sometimes

the entire frame from one network is placed in the header used by the data link layer protocol of another network.

Encryption A specific algorithm used to encrypt or encode the data so that it becomes

unreadable to unauthorized users that do not know the decryption key. A good example of encryption technology is WEP (Wired Equivalent Private).

Ethernet Most popular LAN (Local Area Network) technology that uses CSMA/CD

(Collision Detection) and transfers data between workstations over a variety of cable types at 10Mbps, also called 10BaseT. Most Ethernet LANs use twisted pair 10BaseT cables and support both Ethernet as well as Fast Ethernet at 100Mbps (100BaseT).

Firewall A security device (either hardware, software, or a combination of both) that

selectively blocks out or filters unwanted IP traffic from a public network. Firewall allows the private LAN network to be invisible to the public network outside, preventing intrusion from unauthorized users.

Hub A hardware device that repeats all data traffic to all CPE (Customer Premises

Equipment) ports. A hub functions as the center of a LAN and all other network devices on the LAN, including PCs, printers, DSL modem or Gateways, are connected to the hub through cabling.

Infrastructure Mode A client setting providing connectivity to an AP. As compared to Ad-Hoc

Mode, where PCs communicate directly with each other, clients set in Infrastructure Mode all pass data through a central AP. The AP not only mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood, but it also provides communication with the wired network (see also Ad-Hoc Mode and

Access Point).

Internet A massive worldwide network of computer networks interconnecting

thousands of computers and networks around the world and readily accessible from any computer with a modem or router connection and the corresponding software.

IP (Internet Protocol) A protocol standard for the Internet. A kind of Internet software that keeps

track of all the addresses on the Internet for different nodes, forwards outgoing IP traffic, and recognizes incoming IP traffic.

IP Address Numeric address assigned to each machine on the Internet. Consists of four

sets of one, two, or three octal digits separated by periods.

ISP (Internet

Service Provider) The telecommunication company that provides Internet service for the

subscriber. The ISP can be a telephone company, a CLEC or ILEC, or any other company that provides Internet access to the end user such as AOL, Earthlink or MSN.

LAN (Local

Area Network) A collection of privately-owned, interconnected computers within a confined

service area.

WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy) WEP data encryption is defined by the 802.11 standard to prevent (i) access to

the network by “intruders” using similar wireless LAN equipment and (ii) capture of wireless LAN traffic through eavesdropping. WEP allows the administrator to define a set of respective “Keys” for each wireless network user based on a “Key String” passed through the WEP encryption algorithm. Access is denied by anyone who does not have an assigned key.
