2.2 Wireless Ethernet

Introduction The SpeedTouch™608WL/620 Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless

access point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network
over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward
compatible with IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can
coexist in the same wireless network.

The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend
the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to
introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network.

To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter
(WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.

Wireless client

requirements

All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b, will be able to
communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™
(W)LAN environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless
clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the
SpeedTouch™.

It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™ certified
to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.

30

E-DOC-CTC-20041126-0013 v1.0

Chapter 2

Local Network Setup

2.2.1 Wireless Basics

Introduction In this section some key wireless concepts are explained.

802.11b/g 802.11b is an IEEE standard, operating at 2,4 GHz at a speed of up to 11 Mb/s.

802.11g, a newer IEEE standard also operating at 2,4 GHz, gives you up to 54 Mb/s

speed, more security and better performance.

Wireless Fidelity The Wi-Fi certification ensures that your SpeedTouch™ will interoperate with any Wi-

Fi 802.11g and 802.11b compliant wireless device.

Access Point The SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN Access Point (AP) behaves as a networking hub

allowing to wirelessly interconnect several devices to the local (W)LAN and to
provide access to the Internet.

Network Name or SSID The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists

between the SpeedTouch™ and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow
unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Service Set ID
(SSID), also referred to as Network Name. Wireless clients must be part of this SSID
environment in order to be able to communicate with other clients on the (W)LAN ­including the SpeedTouch™.

Radio channels The 802.11g standard allows several WLAN networks using different radio channels

to be co-located. The SpeedTouch™ supports multiple radio channels and is able to
select the best radio channel at each start-up.

You can choose to set the channels automatically or manually.

The different channels are overlapping. To avoid interference with another
WLAN, make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency) is as high as
possible. It’s recommended to keep at least 3 channels between 2 different
WLANs.

The SpeedTouch™ supports all channels allowed for wireless networking according to
your region’s regulations. However, depending on local regulations, the number of
channels actually allowed to be used may be additionally restricted, as shown in the
table below:

Regulatory Domain Allowed Radio Channels

China 1 to 13

Europe 1 to 13

E-DOC-CTC-20041126-0013 v1.0

Israel 5 to 8

Japan 1 to 14

Jordan 10 to 13

Thailand 1 to 14

USA 1 to 11

31

Chapter 2

Local Network Setup

Antennas The SpeedTouch™ features two antennas: one internal and one external. For

transmission of data, the external antenna is always used; whereas for reception of
data, the SpeedTouch™ automatically selects the antenna which receives the optimal
signal.

Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. The antenna
characteristics are such that wireless links perpendicular to the antenna are favoured.
If for example the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured.
Please note that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that
is by reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advisable to use the
received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to optimize the
antenna position for the link to a given client.

Concrete walls will halve the radio signal strength and thus affect the connection.

2.2.5 Extending the Range of Your Wireless Network

WDS The SpeedTouch™ features Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality. This

feature allows you to extend the range of your wireless network by introducing one
or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless network.

The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) enables data packets to pass from one
wireless access point to another, just as if the access points were ports on a wired
Ethernet switch. WDS allows you to extend the range of your SpeedTouch™ by
means of one or more wireless repeaters, like for instance a SpeedTouch™180. The
following illustration depicts two WDS-enabled devices communicating via WDS:

WDS Link

SpeedTouch™180 SpeedTouch™620

The SpeedTouch™ allows you to add up to four wireless repeaters.

Repeaters extend the coverage area of your wireless LAN, however bear in
mind that throughput is reduced for wireless clients that are connected
through a repeater.

Preconditions Check on following:

 Your wireless repeater must be WDS enabled.

 Both your SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater must use:

 The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.

!

 The same fixed channel.

The SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need to use
the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your wireless
clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™ or the one of your
wireless repeater.

WPA encryption is not supported when using WDS.
