2.3 Wireless Ethernet

Introduction The SpeedTouch™ 716v5 WL 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.

2.3.1 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.

Fi certified 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 access point, 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 access points.

The SpeedTouch™ supports all channels allowed for wireless networking. 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

Israel 5 to 8

Japan 1 to 14

Jordan 10 to 13

Thailand 1 to 14

USA 1 to 11

Chapter 2

Local Network Setup

Antennas Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. 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 die down the radio signal strength and thus affect the connection.

2.3.2 Connecting First-time Wireless Clients

Wireless default

settings

Preparing first-time

wireless clients

After every Reset-to-Defaults, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point configuration is returned to its initial default settings.

These default settings are:

 Security level is low (security disabled) for an easy first use, meaning the data

will not be encrypted. Wireless security settings are described in

“2.3.3 Wireless Security” on page 29.

 The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID).

This default network name (SSID) is printed on the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device. It consists of the concatenation of the word “SpeedTouch” and 6 hexadecimal characters, without any spaces, for example SpeedTouch123456.

 The radio channel number is set to ‘automatically scan for the best radio

channel’.

 Registration is not activated. New stations are allowed automatically. The

Access Control List is open and empty. No wireless client will be denied access to the SpeedTouch™ based on its physical hardware address.

The default wireless settings may differ from the settings listed above depending on your Service Provider’s requirements. If this is the case, refer to the installation/configuration instructions provided by your Service Provider.

Make sure that:

 The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.

 The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.

If needed, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration (See “7.4 Reset

to Factory Defaults” on page 129 for more information).

 A wireless client adapter is installed on your computer.

 The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP

configuration (DHCP) - this is usually the default. For more information, see the documentation of your wireless client adapter.

Configuring first-time

wireless clients

First-time association

example

The wireless client must be correctly configured for the default network name. As the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name to the wireless clients, you can select the SpeedTouch™ wireless network from a list of available networks. Depending on your wireless client a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may pop up: “Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch123456”.

Some wireless clients do not automatically join a wireless network. If so, follow the instructions for the wireless client software to initiate association.

In the example below is shown how the SpeedTouch™ wireless network is presented towards an MS Windows XP Service Pack 2 system:

2.3.5 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™716v5 WL

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.

E-DOC-CTC-20050401-0008 v1.0

Configuring WDS To configure your WDS on the web pages:

and receive faxes over your Internet connection or over the traditional phone line.

Following SIP configuration parameters are provided by your ISP:

 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)

 User name

 Password

 IP address and port number (usually 5060) of the provider’s registrar

 IP address and port number (usually 5060) of the provider’s SIP proxy server

The SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a unique name used to identify and locate your telephone. The SIP URI can be in a numerical format or in the format user@host.

Examples:

 3443614

 username@hostname.org

 username@192.168.10.1

 3443614@hostname.org

If your provider gives you an URI in the format containing an ‘@’, your service provider will tell you whether the ‘@’ can be formed on your phone by dialing a ‘1’, ‘*’, or ‘#’.
