CHAPTER 5 BASIC IP NETWORKING
8
5 BASIC IP NETWORKING
5.1 IP = Internet Protocol
IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For
example: 192.168.1.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a
PC or Router: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while
Dynamic IP’s are distributed by a DHCP Server.
5.2 Ports
Every packet of traffic is identified by its Source and Destination Addresses, which would
ensure that the packet arrives at the correct destination. A Port Number is also embedded in
each packet; to identify which software application that generated and uses that packet.
Therefore, if it blocks a certain port number, it denies the particular software from using the
connection.
5.3 Static IP Address
Static IP addressing ensures that the device will always have the same IP address. Static
addressing is commonly used for your servers.
5.4 Dynamic IP Address
A dynamic IP address is one that is automatically assigned to a PC. These IP addresses are
“dynamic” because they are only temporarily leased to the PC when it connects to the
network. This is the most convenient and common way of managing IP addresses in a
network. The Server that manages this pool of IP addresses is called the DHCP Server. The
product has a DHCP Server built-in to simplify the network management.
5.5 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The PC obtaining an IP address from the Server is called the DHCP Client. If there is already
a DHCP Server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers.
Running more than one DHCP server together will cause network problems!
5.6 Wireless LAN Basics
A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio
signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and
public Hotspots. WLAN can support the same applications and software that run on a wired
network (LAN). Besides supporting the same software and functions, WLAN brings greater
convenience and eliminates the need to lay Ethernet cables in a home or office.
CHAPTER 5 BASIC IP NETWORKING
9
The AP can even support 108Mbps wireless data rate at Turbo mode. This is only applicable
for user using recommended Turbo-capable Cardbus (with Atheros chipset).
WLAN networking involves a few additional parameters to be configured:
5.7 SSID
The SSID is the “network name” for the WLAN network. The SSID is any name, and can be
any set of characters or numbers. The Client sniffs the radio frequencies for an AP with the
same SSID with itself. The client locks onto the AP and they are “associated”.
To enable plug-and-play convenience, most client cards can sniff the frequencies to extract
the available SSIDs to let the user choose from.
5.8 Encryption
WLAN traffic can be captured by anybody to be read! The solution is to use encryption to
make the traffic appear as random characters to the eavesdropper. Both the AP and client
must use the same encryption standard and key to enable them to decode the “rubbish”. If the
encryption settings are mismatched, the client and AP cannot associate. WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) is the most common WLAN encryption standard.
5.9 Channel
There are a total of 13 channels in the 2.4GHz band. Depending on regulation, not all the
frequencies may be available in every country. Frequency is configured on the AP only. The
client searches for the AP and locks onto that AP’s channel.
5.10 Signal Strength
Radio signals drop in power over a distance. Even if all the settings are correct, low signal
strength makes association impossible. The usable distance between the AP and client can
range from a few meters indoor to a few km. When setting up the client, make sure that you:
Keep at a distance between the AP and the clients.
Make sure that the WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls
and metal structures to reach the client.
Make sure that client are located far away from one another to avoid interference.
Make sure that there is line of sight between the AP and client device.
5.11 Interference
Interference happens when 2 clients with the same channels are placed near to one another.
The speed of the network drops and the signal strength fluctuates wildly.
CHAPTER 5 BASIC IP NETWORKING
10
5.12 Roaming
Association happens when the SSID, Encryption and MAC Address Control settings are
correct between the AP and client. If 2 APs with these same settings are located in the same
area, the client would choose to associate to the one which gives it a better signal strength.
The client would roam over to the 2nd AP when he moves nearer to it. The client switches AP
and frequency as he does so.
CHAPTER 6 GETTING STARTED
11
6 GETTING STARTED
Connect the network as shown previously.
Note: If your PC is wireless, check the PC’s card utility to make sure that the signal strength
is good and that the bottom LED lights up on the AP.
Open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc.).
Type the AP LAN IP (192.168.1.20) address into the browser’s Address field. The default LAN
IP address is 192.168.1.20.

Remember that after every configurations change, it
is necessary to update and reboot the AP for
changes to take effect.
7.1 Administration
This page allows you to change the Username and Password for admin user/end user. The
default username is admin (in lower case letters) and the default password is LOOP (in upper
case letters). After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this
combination. To view/upgrade firmware version, you need to close this configuration page.
Then you have to login as a super user/system administrator in the configuration page again.
The default username is super (in lower case letters) and the default password is LOOP (in
upper case letters). After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this
combination. Refer to super user instructions for more info.
The username and password are case sensitive.

Site Survey: Displays the MAC address, RSSI, SSID and the channel of other AP.
7.3 IP Configuration
This page allows you to choose the type of IP
Static IP mode: When you boot up the AP for the first time, it is in Static mode. You assign a
Static IP to the AP. The default IP address, subnet mask and gateway mask are 192.168.1.20,
255.255.255.0 and 0.0.0.0.
DHCP mode: the AP will obtain an IP Address from an upstream DHCP Server.
DHCP Relay: When DHCP relay is enabled, the A-100-IANT18 will transmit packets to
another PC.
Note: When in DHCP client mode, these 4 columns show the IP settings obtained from the
network.
CHAPTER 7 CONFIGURATION MENU
15
7.4 Operation Mode
Operation Mode: The AP can be used as an Access Point or as a Wireless Bridge or a
repeater. Wireless Bridge or repeater is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line
over a distance. Two AP can be set up to connect over this distance, acting as the wired
backbone.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wireless
LAN. This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point when multiple
Access Points operate in the same location. The default SSID is 11g.
Wireless Mode: The AP or Bridge operates in the frequency of 2.4GHz for 802.11b/g/turbo g.
Radio Frequency: There are different frequency channels depending on the country of use.
You can choose to set the frequency channel to use or use SmartSelect for automatic
channel selection.
WDS: Enable or disable or disable with multiple PC support. When WDS enabled, the bridge
can support multiple PCs behind it. When WDS disabled, the bridge can support only one PC
behind it. When disabled with multiple PCs support, the bridge can support multiple PCs
behind it, even if the AP cannot support WDS.
Advance Settings: This is to set the distance for bridging. The default distance is 4-6km.
CHAPTER 7 CONFIGURATION MENU
16
Remote AP MAC List: The Bridge will only associate with AP whose MAC address is in the
list. It is essential to type in the MAC address of the AP without any spacing in front or behind
it.
Antenna Adjust: This is to facilitate the adjustment of antenna for long distance bridging.
This page shows the MAC Address and Signal Quality of the units associated to the AP. For
long distance bridging, make sure that you get at least a “good” signal quality for desired
performance.
Do not insert any spacing in front or behind the MAC address when using
Remote AP MAC List. Failing to do so will cause the bridge unable to
associate with the intended AP.

7.6 Radio Setting
Data Rate: You can fix the data rate to different values as 11Mbps or 24Mbps. However it is
recommended to set the setting to “Best” for the AP to determine the best data rate to be use.
Transmit Power: Sometimes, it is useful to decrease the coverage range of each AP, so that
more APs can be located together without interference to one another. The default
transmission power is 100%.
Antenna Diversity: Three options are available. Choose among Best (to use one of the two
antenna that works more efficiently), 1 (antenna number 1), or 2 (antenna number 2).
Software Tx Retry Times: Specify the number of times that the A-100-IANT18 software
resend packets when the transmission fails.
Hardware Tx Retry Times: Specify the number of times that the A-100-IANT18 hardware
resend packets when the transmission fails.
Beacon Interval: Choose between 20 to 1000. Low Beacon Interval will make the association
and roaming process very responsive. However, throughput will decrease, so it is necessary
to strike a balance. Typical Beacon Interval is set to 100ms.
CHAPTER 7 CONFIGURATION MENU
19
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM): Choose between 1 to 255.This is always a multiple of the beacon
interval. It determines how often the beacon contains a delivery traffic indication message
(DTIM). The DTIM tells power-save client devices that a packet is waiting for them.
RTS/CTS Threshold: Enter a value between 0 and 2347.
Short Preamble: Enable to use Short Preamble in the Wireless LAN packet headers. Most
manufacturers implement long preambles. Even if there is a mismatch between AP and the
client, they can still connect well and the mismatch may not be noticeable to most users. Do
not change this setting without seeking advice.
Protection Mode: Select None, Always or Auto.
Protection Rate: Select 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps or 11Mbps.
Protection Type: Select either CTS only or RTS-CTS.
Short Slot Time: Enable or disable short time slot usage.
Allow 2.4GHz 54Mbps Stations Only: Use this radio button to enable or disable the
association of 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps STA only.
