INTRODUCTION
All ParkerVision Horizons products are designed and manufactured by Direct2Data Technologies.
Products are fully compliant with IEEE 802.11b standards and are optimized to provide maximum
possible speed and bandwidth through your Internet connection for fastest uploads and downloads.
The distance capabilities of your wireless network equipment directly affect your signal quality. Distance
capabilities are usually stated in terms of outdoor, open eld reach. However, this reach is greatly
diminished indoors by walls, doors, construction techniques and appliances that may block the radio
signal. A wireless network adapter that tests outdoors at 200 feet could, in an indoor environment, provide
20 feet in one direction and as little as 5 or 10 feet in another direction. Factors such as building materials,
oor plans and furnishings can greatly impact the signal range, quality and rate of data transmission. The
extent to which your signal is affected varies greatly depending on your environment.
Wireless network products powered by D2D technology will provide better performance than other
products because they can achieve open eld distances of up to one mile, (when a D2D enabled adapter
is used in conjunction with a D2D enabled base station). The D2D adapter alone provides 3 to 7 times the
distance of other leading brands. This is sufcient to reach all rooms in most homes or small ofces.

Getting to Know Your ParkerVision Horizons 1500WR Wireless Router
This chapter introduces the main features of the ParkerVision Horizons 1500WR Wireless Router
1.1 Introduction
The ParkerVision Horizons 1500WR Wireless Router provides wireless connectivity. As an
Internet gateway, your 1500WR Wireless Router can share an Internet connection (through
a cable or xDSL modem) with multiple computers using SUA/NAT and DHCP. The 1500WR
Wireless Router offers highly secured wireless connectivity to your wired network with IEEE
802. lx, WEP data encryption and MAC address ltering.
The 1500WR Wireless Router is easy to install and congure. The embedded web-based
congurator and SNMP network management enables remote conguration and management of
your 1500WR Wireless Router.
1.2 Features of the ParkerVision Horizons PC 1500WR Wireless Router
The following are the essential features of the ParkerVision Horizons 1500WR Wireless Router .
4-Port Switch
A combination of switch and router makes your 1500WR Wireless Router a cost-effective and viable
network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the LAN ports on you 1500WR Wireless
Router without the cost of a hub.
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
This auto-negotiating feature allows the 1500WR Wireless Router to detect the speed of incoming
transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
10/100M Auto-crossover Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface.
The LAN interface automatically adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet
cable. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN.
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN port attaches to the Internet via broadband modem or
router.
Reset Button
The 1500WR Wireless Router reset button is built into the side panel. Use this button to restore the
factory default password to 1234; IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and
DHCP sever enabled with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting at 192.168.1.33.
Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection
The 1500WR Wireless Router has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force
password guessing attacks on the 1500WR Wireless Router’s management interfaces. You
can specify a wait-time that must expire before entering a fourth password after three incorrect
passwords have been entered. Please see the appendix for details about this feature.

ParkerVision
1500WR Wireless Router LED
The blue 1500WR Wireless Router LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the 1500WR Wireless
Router is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use
the web congurator to turn this LED off even when the 1500WR Wireless Router is on and data is being
transmitted/received.
802.11b Wireless LAN Standard
1500WR Wireless Router products containing the letter “B” in the model name, such as 1500WR Wireless Router
B-2000, 1500WR Wireless Router B-2000 v.2, comply with the 802.1 lb wireless standard.
The 802.1 lb data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are as follows. The modulation technique
denes how bits are encoded onto radio waves.
Output Power Management
Power Management is the ability to set the level of output power.
There may be interference or difculty with channel assignment when there is a high density of APs
within a coverage area. In this case you can lower the output power of each Wireless Router, thus
enabling you to place Wireless Routers closer together.
Limit the number of Client Connections
You may set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to the 1500WR Wireless
Router. This may be necessary if for example, there is difculty with channel assignment due to a high
density of APs within a coverage area.
Horizons 1500WR Wireless 4-Port Router
SSL Passthrough
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data that’s transmitted over an SSL
connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many web sites use the
protocol to obtain condential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs
that require an SSL connection start with “https” instead of “http”. The 1500WR Wireless Router allows
SSL connections to take place through the 1500WR Wireless Router.
Firewall
The 1500WR Wireless Router employs a stateful inspection rewall with DoS (Denial of Service)
protection. By default, when the rewall is activated, all incoming trafc from the WAN to the LAN is
blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The 1500WR Wireless Router rewall supports TCP/UDP
inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.
IEEE 802.1 x Network Security
The 1500WR Wireless Router supports the IEEE 802. lx standard to enhance user authentication.
Use the built-in user prole database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an
EAP-compatible RADIUS (RFC2138,2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to
authenticate a limitless number of users using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an
authentication protocol that supports multiple types of authentication.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your 1500WR Wireless Router checks the MAC address of the wireless station against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the 1500WR Wireless Router and other UPnP-enabled devices
can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on
the network.
10
ParkerVision
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing
the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this
service.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to
use their existing network conguration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE
driver on the 1500WR Wireless Router is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only
Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on
individual computers.
PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based
network. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks,
such as the Internet. Use PPTP to connect to a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed
data networks via a familiar “dial-up networking” user interface.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translations of multiple IP addresses
used within one network to different IP addresses known within another network.
Horizons 1500WR Wireless 4-Port Router
NAT for Single-IP-address Internet Access
The 1500WR Wireless Router’s SUA (Single User Account) feature allows multiple-user Internet
access for the cost of a single IP account. NAT supports popular Internet applications such as MS
traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC, RealPlayer, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No conguration is needed
to support these applications.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP conguration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The 1500WR Wireless Router has
built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway
and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The 1500WR Wireless Router also acts as a surrogate DHCP
server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the
clients.
Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way
to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol
used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). The 1500WR
Wireless Router supports versions 1 and 2.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The 1500WR Wireless Router supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
Ethernet LAN interface with the 1500WR Wireless Router itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
IP Policy Routing
IP Policy Routing provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter
packet forwarding based on the policies dened by the network administrator.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your
11
ParkerVision
1500WR Wireless Router supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and
monitor the SNMP - Continued
1500WR Wireless Router through the network. The 1500WR Wireless Router supports SNMP version
one (SNMPvl) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
Full Network Management
The embedded web congurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the
1500WR Wireless Router’s management settings. Most functions of the 1500WR Wireless Router are
also software congurable via the SMT(System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menudriven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet
connection.
• Logging and Tracing

Horizons 1500WR Wireless 4-Port Router
Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers
The 1500WR Wireless Router’s embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast rmware upgrades as
well as conguration le backups and restoration.
Wireless Association List
With the Wireless Association List, you can see the list of the wireless stations that are currently using
the 1500WR Wireless Router to access your wired network.
Wireless LAN Channel Usage
The Wireless Channel Usage displays whether the radio channels are used by other wireless devices
within the transmission range of the 1500WR Wireless Router. This allows you to select the channel
with minimum interference for your 1500WR Wireless Router.

The web Web Conguration Utility’s setup wizard helps you congure your 1500WR Wireless Router
for Internet access and set up wireless LAN.
3.1.1 Channel
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.1 lb wireless devices is called a “channel”.
Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for
your region) so you should use a different channel than an adjacent AP (Wireless Router) to reduce
interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different Wireless Routers overlap causing
interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should be
on a channel at least ve channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example,
if your region has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a
channel between 6 or 11.
The 1500WR Wireless Router’s “Scan” function is especially designed to automatically scan for a
channel with the least interference.
3.1.2 ESS ID
An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a group of Wireless Routers or wireless gateways connected to
a wired LAN on the same subnet. An ESS ID uniquely identies each set. All Wireless Routers or
wireless gateways and their associated wireless stations in the same set must have the same ESSID.
3.1.3 WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network.
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the Wireless
Routers to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications
in a network. Both the wireless stations and the Wireless Routers must use the same WEP key for
data encryption and decryption.

3.4.2 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data from
a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based
networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such
as the Internet.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
The 1500WR Wireless Router supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.

3.4.3 PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts
with a broadband modem (for example xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed
data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking experience and requires no
new learning or procedures.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and
authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and
therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benets of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services,
a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for specic users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves signicant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires
no specic conguration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the 1500WR Wireless Router (rather than individual computers),
the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the 1500WR Wireless
Router does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN’s computers will have Internet
access.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE, and to the next page for setup details.

3.5 Wizard Setup: WAN and DNS
The fourth wizard screen allows you to congure WAN IP address assignment, DNS server address
assignment and the WAN MAC address.
3.5.1 WAN IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for instance, only between your two branch ofces, you can assign any IP addresses to the
hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of IP addresses specically for private networks.
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network.
If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide
you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much
larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Horizons 1500WR Wireless 4-Port Router
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment,
please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466,
Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
3.5.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN
share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your
particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user
account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this
is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0
and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the 1500WR Wireless Router.
The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specically for
private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let’s say you select
192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the rst three numbers specify the network number while the last number identies an individual computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for
instance, 192.168.1.1, for your 1500WR Wireless Router, but make sure that no other device on your
network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask species the network number portion of an IP address. Your 1500WR Wireless
Router will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You
don’t need to change the subnet mask computed by the 1500WR Wireless Router unless you are
instructed to do otherwise.
26
ParkerVision
3.5.3 DNS Server Address Assignment
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa. For instance, the IP address of a web site with an URL of www.anycompany.com could be
192.168.3.1. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.
1. The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when
you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server elds
in DHCP Setup.
2. Leave the DNS Server elds in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The 1500WR Access
Point acts as a DNS proxy when this eld is blank.
3.5.4 WAN MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:
00:02.
Horizons 1500WR Wireless 4-Port Router
You can congure the WAN port’s MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the
MAC address from a workstation on your LAN. Once it is successfully congured, the address will be
copied to the “rom” le (ZyNOS conguration le). It will not change unless you change the setting or
upload a different “rom” le.
ParkerVision recommends you clone the MAC address from a workstation on your LAN even if your
ISP does not require MAC address authentication.
Your 1500WR Wireless Router WAN port is always set at half-duplex mode as most cable/DSL modems only support half-duplex mode. Make sure your modem is in half-duplex mode. Your 1500WR
Wireless Router supports full duplex mode on the LAN side.
Example of Network Properties for LAN Servers with Fixed IP Addresses:
Choose an IP address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.32; 192.168.1.65-192.168.1.254.
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway (or default route) 192.168.1.1(1500WR Wireless RouterLANIP)
