Setting Up Your Wireless LAN (WLAN)

You can use the VT2500 as an access point for a wireless LAN (WLAN) without changing its default settings.

Caution!

To prevent unauthorized eavesdropping or access to WLAN data, you must enab le wireless security. The
default VT2500 settings provide no wireless secu rity. After your WLAN is operational, be sure to enable
wireless security.

To enable security for your WLAN, you can do the following on the VT2500:

To Perform Use in Setup Program

Encrypt wireless transmissions
and restrict WLAN access

Further prevent unauthorized
WLAN intrusions

Connect at least one computer to the VT2500 Ethernet port to perform configuration. Do not attempt to configure
the VT2500 over a wireless connection.

You need to configure each wireless client (station) to access the VT2500 LAN as described in “Configuring the

Wireless Clients”.

Encrypting Wireless LAN Transmissions Wireless > SECURITY — basic page

Restricting Wireless LAN Access Wireless > SECURITY — advanced

page

Caution!

Never provide your ESSID, WPA or WEP passphrase, or WEP key to anyone who is not authorized to use
your WLAN.

For descriptions of all wireless configuration fields, see “Wireless Pages in the VT2500 Setup Progra m”.
Another step to improve wireless security is to place wireless components away from windows. This decreases

the signal strength outside the intended area.

If all of your wireless clients support WPA encryption, we recommend using WPA instead of WEP because WPA:

If you use a local pre-shared key (WPA-PSK) passphrase, you
must configure the identical passphrase to the VT2500 on each
wireless client. Home and small-office settings typically use a
local passphrase.

Configuring a RADIUS server requires specialized knowledge
that is beyond the scope of this guide. For more information,
contact your network administrator.

You must configure each wireless client with the VT2500’s WEP

• Provides much stronger encryption and is more secure

• Provides authentication to ensure that only authorized users can log on to your WLAN

• Is much easier to configure

• Uses a standard algorithm on all compliant products to generate a key from a textual passphrase

• Will be incorporated into the new IEEE 802.11i wireless networking standard

For new wireless LANs, we recommend purchasing client adapters that support WPA, such as the Motorola

Wireless Notebook Adapter WN825G, Wireless PCI Adapter WPCI810G, and Wireless USB Adapter WU830G.

Configuring WPA on the VT2500

After you enable and configure WPA on the VT2500, you must configure each WLAN client as described in the
subsections under “Configuring the Wireless Clients”.

To enable WPA and set the key on the VT2500:

1 On the VT2500 Setup Program menu, click Wireless.
2 Click the SECURITY tab to display the Wireless > SECURITY — basic page:

3 In the Security Mode field, select WPA and click Apply.
4 Under WPA CONFIGURATION, choose one WPA Encryption type. Because performance may be slow with

TKIP, we recommend choosing AES if your clients support AES:

TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol provides data encryption including a per-packet key mixing

function, message integrity check (MIC), initialization vector (IV), and re-keying mechanism.

AES The Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm implements symmetri c key cryptography as a

block cipher using 128-bit keys. We recommend this sett ing if all of your wireless clients
support AES. The Motorola client adapters shown in “Optional Accessories” support AES.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you do not understand a term or acronym, check the Glossary.

Q What does the Motorola voice terminal do?

A The VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway is part stand-alone media terminal adapter (S-MTA) and part home

broadband router:

• As an S-MTA, it converts analog voice signals to and from a standard telephone to digital data that can

be transmitted through a broadband connection across the Internet. It provides an alternate means to
make voice calls.

• It provides basic routing to enable simultaneous voice and data communication.

Q

Will the VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway work with a cable modem or DSL modem?

A Yes. The VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway supports DHCP, which is specified for DOCSIS cable modems,

and PPPoE, which is used by most DSL providers.

Q Can end users operate a virtual private network (VPN) application behind the VT2400/VT2500?

A Yes. The VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway supports IPSEC and PPTP, the most common VPN protocols.

Q Can the end user play online games through their VT2400/VT2500?

A By default, the VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway blocks all unsolicited messages to the computer or end-user

network as a standard security measure. However, for online games that require some unsolicited messages
to be transmitted through the VT2400/VT2500, the end user can specify ports and IP addresses on which to
allow unsolicited messages. The VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway enables the end user to set up virtual
servers or a DMZ.

Q How does the end user configure the VT2400/VT2500?

A Most end users who perform the appropriate installation procedure in “Connecting the VT2400/VT2500 to a

Network” can send and receive calls immediately! Configuring your home or office network is done through

a GUI where configuration options are selected using a connected PC configured to use DHCP to obtain its
network IP address (see “Gateway > WAN — DHCP Client” on page 34). Or, the user can configure the
computer statically to 192.169.102.xxx (

xxx is from 2 to 254), subnet 255.255.255.0, and default gateway

192.168.102.1 (see “Gateway > WAN — Static” on page 36). Or, the user can configure a DSL connection
by using the PPPoE Client configuration method (see “Gateway > WAN — PPPoE Client” on page 35).

Q

What is included with the built-in Ethernet router and wireless access point?

A The VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway supports a firewall, RIP, parental control, port triggers, advanced

ALGs such as RSVP, POP3, SNMP, and streaming media. No separate routers or wireless access points are
needed.

Q

Is any Quality of Service (QoS) implemented on the VT2400/VT2500 Voice Gateway?

A Although VoIP service is typically best-effort, the VT2400/VT2500 provides upstream voice prioritization

to ensure that upstream voice data has priority over other Web data. This ensures good voice quality even
during heavy upstream data transfers, such as e-mail synchronization or file shari ng.

datagram In RFC 1594, a datagram is defin ed as “a self-conta ined, independ ent entity of da ta carrying suff icient

information to be routed from the source to the destination computer without reliance on earlier
exchanges between this source and destinat ion computer and the trans porting network. ” For th e most
part, it has been replaced by the term packet.

default route The route by which packets are forwarded when other routes in the routing table do not apply.
dB decibel
dBc Signal level expressed in dB relative to the unmodulated carrier level desired.
DBm A unit of measurement referenced to one milliwatt across specified impedance. 0dBm = 1 milliwatt

across 75 ohms.

dBmV Signal level expressed in dB as the ratio of the signal power in a 75-ohm system to a ref erence power

when 1 mV is across 75 ohms.

demodulation An operation to restore a previously modulated wave and separate the multiple signals that were

combined and modulated on a subcarrier.

DHCP A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server dynamically assigns IP addresses to client ho sts on an

IP network. DHCP eliminates the need to manually assign static IP addresses by “leasing” an
IP address and subnet mask to each client. It enables the automatic reuse of unused IP addresses.

The VT2500 is simultaneously a DHCP client and a DHCP server.

• A DHCP server at the cable system headend assigns a public IP address to the VT2500 and

optionally to clients on the VT2500 LAN.

• The VT2500 contains a built-in DHCP server that assigns private IP addresses to clients.

distortion An undesired change in signal waveform within a transmission medium. A nonlinear reproduction of

the input waveform.

DMZ A “de-militarized zone” is one or more hosts logically located between a private LAN and the Internet.

A DMZ prevents direct access by outside users to priv ate d ata . (The te rm comes from th e geograph ic
buffers located between some conflicting countri es, such as North and South Korea.) In a typical small
DMZ configuration, the DMZ host receives requests from private LAN use rs to access external web
sites and initiates sessions for these requests. The DMZ host cannot initiate a session back to the
private LAN. Internet users outside the private LAN can access only the DMZ host. You can use a
DMZ to set up a web server or for gaming without exposing confidential data.

DNS The Domain Name System is the Internet system for converting domain names to IP addresses. A

DNS server contains a table matching domain names such as Internetname.com to IP addresses
such as 192.169.9.1. When you access the world-wide web, a DNS server translates the URL
displayed on the browser to the destination website IP a ddress. The DNS l ookup tabl e i s a distri but ed
Internet database; no one DNS server lists all domain name to IP address matches.

DOCSIS The CableLabs Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification defines interface standards for cable

modems, gateways, and supporting equipment to deliver data between an HFC network and
computer systems or television sets. To emphasize its use as a cable modem standard, DOCSIS is
now called CableLabs Certified Cable Modems. Euro-DOCSIS is DOCSIS adapted for use in Europe.

domain name A unique name, such as motorola.com, that maps to an IP address. Domain names are typically much

easier to remember than are IP addresses.

inspection firewall:

• Examines packet headers on context established by previous packets that traversed the firewall

• Monitors the connection state and saves it in a table

• Closes ports until a connection to a specific port is requested

• May examine the packet contents up through the application layer to determine more than just the

subscriber A home or office user who accesses television, data, or other services from a cable provider.
subnet mask A bit mask that is logically ANDed with the destination IP address of a packet to determine th e network

address. A router routes packets using the network address.

subnetwork A part of a network; commonly abbreviated “subnet.” When subnetting is used, the host portion of the

IP address is divided into a subnet and host number. Hosts and routers use the subnet mask to
identify the bits used for the network and subnet number.

switch On an Ethernet network, a switch filters frames based on the MAC address, in a manner similar to a

bridge. A switch is more advanced because it can connect more than two segments.

symbol rate Also known as baud rate, is a measure of the number of times per second a signal in a

communications channel varies, or makes a transition between states (states being frequencies,
voltage levels or phase angles). Usually measured in symbols per second (sps).

TBCP Tagged Binary Communication Protocol
TCP Transmission Control Protocol on OSI transport laye r four, provides reliable transport over the network

for data transmitted using IP (network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol defining rules and
procedures for data exchange between hosts on top of connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track
outstanding packets, checks error in incoming packets, and retrans mits packets if requested.

TCP/IP The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite provides standards and rules for data

communication between networks on the Internet. It is the worldwide internetworking st andard and the
basic communications protocol of the Internet.

Telnet The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection service. Telnet allows a user at one site

to interact with a system at another site as if the user’s terminal were directly c onnected to the host
computer.

VPNs rely on tunneling to create a secure network.

Tunneling requires the following protocol types:

• A carrier protocol, such as TCP, used by the network over which the data travels

• An encapsulating protocol, such as IPSec, L2F, L2TP, or PPTP, that is wrapped around the original

data

• A passenger protocol, such as IP, for the original data

VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol is a method to exchange voice, fax, and other information over the

Internet. Voice and fax have traditionally been carried over traditional telephone lines of the PSTN
using a dedicated circuit for each li ne. VoIP enables calls to travel as discrete data packets on shared
lines. VoIP is an important part of the convergence of computers, telephones, and television into a
single integrated information network.

VoIP Provider A company that provides voice-over internet protocol telephone service.
VPN A virtual private network is a private network that uses “virtual” connections (tunnels) routed over a

public network (usually the Internet) to provide a secu re and f ast conn ect ion ; u sually t o us ers wo rking
remotely at home or in small branch offices. A VPN connection provides security and performance
similar to a dedicated link (for example, a leased line),

WAN A wide-area network provides a connection over a large geographic area, such as a country or the

whole world. The bandwidth depends on need and cost, but is usually much lower than for a LAN.

WAP Wireless access point or Wireless Access Protocol. See also access point.
WECA The Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance is a trade organization that works to ensure that all

wireless devices — computer cards, laptops, air routers, PDAs, etc — can communicate with each
other.

WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption protects the privacy of data transmit ted over a WLAN. WEP uses

keys to encrypt and decrypt transmitted data. The access point must authenticate a clien t before it can
transfer data to another client. WEP is part of I EEE 802.11b. Because WEP can be difficult to use and

does not provide very strong encryption, we recommend using WPA if possible.
