1.2 Benefits
The ENH700EXT is the ideal product around which you can build your WLAN. The following list
summarizes a few key advantages that WLANs have over wired networks:
- Ideal for hard-to-wire environments
There are many scenarios where cables cannot be used to connect networking devices.
Historic and older buildings, open areas, and busy streets, for example, make wired LAN
installations difficult, expensive or impossible.
- Temporary workgroups
WLANs make it easy to provide connectivity to temporary workgroups that will later be
removed. Examples include parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery
shelters, temporary offices, and construction sites.
- Ability to access real-time information
With a WLAN, workers who rely on access to real-time information, such as doctors and
nurses, point-of-sale employees, mobile workers, and warehouse personnel, can access
the data they need and increase productivity, without having to look for a place to plug
into the network.
- Frequently changed environments
WLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing
sites where workplaces are rearranged frequently.
- Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
WLANs enable network managers in dynamic environments to minimize overhead caused
by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes.
- Wired LAN backup
Network managers can implement WLANs to provide backup for mission-critical
applications running on wired networks.
- Mobility within training/educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities are a few examples where
wireless connectivity can be used to facilitate access to information, information
exchanges, and learning.

5.2.4 Client Bridge Mode/Client Router Mode (Dual Mode)
Client Bridge Mode/ Client Router Mode lets you connect two LAN segments via a wireless link as
though they are on the same physical network. Since the computers are on the same subnet,
broadcasts will reach all machines. As a result, DHCP information generated by the server will reach
all client computers as though the clients resided on one physical network.
The following figure shows an example of two ENH700EXT devices operating in Client Bridge Mode.
One ENH700EXT uses its 2.4 GHz radio to communicate with a 2.4 GHz Access Point, while the other
ENH700EXT uses its 5 GHz radio to communicate with a 5 GHz Access Point.

5.5.5 RADIUS (Access Point Mode Only)
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication is only available when the
ENH700EXT is configured for Access Point Mode. Use this feature if you have a RADIUS server.
WPA(TKIP), WPA2(AES), and WPA2 Mixed encryption types are also supported.
The following figure shows an example of a RADIUS configuration, where two ENH700EXT devices
installed at different locations communicate with each other wirelessly. In this configuration, one
ENH700EXT is configured for Access Point Mode and connected to a RADIUS server via a switch,
while the other ENH700EXT is configured for Client Bridge Mode. The RADIUS server uses an
authentication scheme such as PAP or CHAP to verify a user's identification, along with, optionally,
other information related to the request, such as the user's network address or phone number,
account status and specific network service access privileges. The RADIUS server then returns one of
three responses to the ENH700EXT : Access Reject (user is denied access to all requested network
resources), Access Challenge (requests additional information from the user such as a secondary
password), PIN, token or card), or Access Accept (user is granted access).
The sections that follow the figure below describe how to configure your ENH700EXT for use in a
RADIUS environment.

5.6 Wireless Advanced Settings
If you do not have experience with configuring advanced wireless settings, leave these options at
their default settings. Otherwise, any changes you make can affect performance adversely.
5.6.1 Advanced Settings (Access Point)
Fragment Threshold
RTS Threshold
Beacon Interval
Specify the maximum packet size during transmission. If a large number of clients are
accessing the WLAN, specify a small value to avoid collisions.
RTS threshold is a trigger to engage the exchange of RTS and CTS messages between
the Access Point and client. The trigger is a type of “handshaking” approach that
provides an additional layer of control over the use of the shared medium by
indicating the amount of time a wireless device, attempting to send, will wait for a
recipient to acknowledge that it is ready. If the packet size is smaller than the RTS
threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send the
packet. To ensure communication, use the maximum value. Decreasing this value
causes the sending device to discard the current packet and move on to the next.
Specify the duration between beacon packets. Access Points broadcast Beacons or
Traffic Indication Messages (TIM) to synchronize WLANs. The default setting of 100
should be fine for most situations. In a "noisy" environment with much interference,
decreasing this value can improve network performance. In very remote locations
(with few wireless nodes), you can increase this value.
DTIM Period
Specify a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown that informs clients about the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
Note: The DTIM is a multiple of the Beacon (TIM), so if the DTIM is set to 3, a DTIM
message is sent with every third Beacon.
Preamble Type
Tx Power
Distance
Layer 2 Isolation
Tells the receiver that data is on the way. The preamble allows the receiver to
acquire the wireless signal and synchronize itself with the transmitter. Select Long
Preamble or Short Preamble. Long Preamble can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility with legacy devices, while Short Preamble can provide better WLAN
performance.
Auto Transmitted Power
Specify the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop
high-speed connections.
Enable or disable Layer 2 Isolation. Layer 2 isolation prevents communication and
data sharing between wireless stations associated with different Access Points.
5.6.2 Advanced Settings (Client Bridge / Client Router)
Fragment Threshold
RTS Threshold
Specify the maximum packet size during transmission. If a large number of clients are
accessing the WLAN, specify a small value to avoid collisions.
RTS threshold is a trigger to engage the exchange of RTS and CTS messages between
the Access Point and client. The trigger is a type of “handshaking” approach that
provides an additional layer of control over the use of the shared medium by
indicating the amount of time a wireless device, attempting to send, will wait for a
recipient to acknowledge that it is ready. If the packet size is smaller than the RTS
threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send the
packet. To ensure communication, use the maximum value. Decreasing this value
causes the sending device to discard the current packet and move on to the next.
Preamble Type
802.11g Protection
Tx Power
Distance
Tells the receiver that data is on the way. The preamble allows the receiver to
acquire the wireless signal and synchronize itself with the transmitter. Select Long
Preamble or Short Preamble. Long Preamble can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility with legacy devices, while Short Preamble can provide better WLAN
performance.
If you enable protection mode, every transmitted packet must wait until CTS is
received before it can be sent. Protection mode can prevent collision, but slows
wireless transmission speeds.
Auto Transmitted Power
Specify the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop
high-speed connections.

Appendix A – Glossary
Access Point
A base station in a WLAN that act as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.
Ad Hoc Network
Ad hoc network refers to a short-term WLAN framework created between two or more WLAN
adapters, without going through an Access Point. An ad hoc network allows computers to "talk"
(send data) directly to and from one another. For an ad hoc network to work, each computer on the
network needs a WLAN card installed configured for Ad Hoc mode.
Antenna
A device that transmits and receives radio-frequency (RF) signals. Often camouflaged on existing
buildings, trees, water towers or other tall structures, the size and shape of antennas are generally
determined by the frequency of the signal they manage.
Authentication
A process that verifies the identity of a wireless device or end-user. One of the most common
forms of authentication is to verify identities by checking a user name and password to allow
network access.
Backbone
A high-speed line or series of connections forming a major pathway within a network.
Bandwidth
The portion of the frequency spectrum required to transmit desired information. Each radio
channel has a center frequency and additional frequencies above and below this carrier
frequency which is used to carry the transmitted information. The range of frequencies from the
lowest to the highest used is called the bandwidth.
Bridge
A wireless device that connects multiple networks that are physically separate or use different
media, but which use similar standards.
Bridge Mode
An Access Pointy in bridge mode can operate as a WLAN bridge that connects two wired network
segments. The peer device also must be in bridge mode. This wireless bridge connection is
equivalent to a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
CHAP
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol is an alternative protocol that avoids sending
passwords over the wire by using a challenge/response technique.
Collision
Interference that occurs when two network devices transmit data at the same time. The network
detects the collision of the two transmitted packets and discards both of them.
Coverage
The region within which a paging receiver can receive reliably the transmission of the paging
signals.
Coverage Area
The geographical reach of a mobile communications network or system.
Coverage Hole
An area within the radio coverage footprint of a wireless system in which the RF signal level is
below the design threshold. Coverage holes are usually caused by physical obstructions such as
buildings, foliage, hills, tunnels, and indoor parking garages.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
A common technique for detecting data transmission errors.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
A protocol that automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to client stations logging onto an IP
network, so users do not have to configure the IP addresses manually. The ENH700EXT contains
an internal DHCP server that automatically allocates IP address using a user-defined address
range.
Dead Spot
An area within the coverage area of a WLAN in which there is no coverage or transmission falling
off. Dead spots are often caused by electronic interference or physical barriers such as hills,
tunnels, and indoor parking garages. See also coverage area.
802.11
A category of WLAN standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE).
802.11a
An IEEE standard for WLANs that operate at 5 GHz, with rates up to 54 Mbps.
802.11b
An IEEE standard for WLANs that operate at 2.4 GHz, with rates up to 11 Mbps.
802.11g
An IEEE standard for WLANs that operates at 2.4 GHz with rates up to 54 Mbps.
Encryption
The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data
security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables
you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text
ESS ID
An ESSID is the unique identifier for an ESS. All Access Points and their associated wireless
stations in the same group must have the same ESSID.
Footprint
Geographical areas in which an entity is licensed to broadcast its signal.
Gateway
A computer system or other device that acts as a translator between two systems that do not use
the same communication protocols, data formatting structures, languages and/or architecture.
Keys
Keys are used like passwords to open and close (encrypt and decrypt) messages. While many
encryption algorithms are commonly known and public, the key must be kept secret.
Local-Area Network (LAN)
A small data network covering a limited area, such as a building or group of buildings. Most LANs
connect workstations or personal computers. This allows many users to share devices, such as
printers, as well as data. The LAN also allows easy communication, by facilitating e-mail or
supporting chat sessions.
Media Access Control (MAC) Address
The address associated with every hardware device on the network. Every 802.11 wireless device
has its own specific MAC address hard-coded into it. This unique identifier can be used to provide
security for WLANs. When a network uses a MAC table, only the 802.11 radios that have had
their MAC addresses added to that network's MAC table are able to get onto the network.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
An Internet standard that enables a LAN to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a
second set of addresses for external traffic.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
A protocol that allows devices to synchronize their time with a time server. It uses TCP or UDP
port 123 by default
Passphrase
A text string used to automatically generate WEP keys on wireless client adapters.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
The ability to provide power to a PoE-enabled device via an 8-pin CAT 5 Ethernet cable,
eliminating the need for a nearby power source.
Preamble
Used to synchronize transmissions in a WLAN. The preamble type defines the length of the Cyclic
Redundancy Check block for communication between the device and roaming wireless stations.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
An authentication protocol of IEEE 802.1x used to transmit authentication data, including
passwords, over 802.11 WLANs.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Refers to a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and to the networking methods
used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
A networking protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting
management for computers to connect and use a network service. Because of the broad support
and the ubiquitous nature of the RADIUS protocol, it is often used by ISPs and enterprises to
manage access to the Internet or internal networks, WLANs, and integrated e-mail services.
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
The name of a WLAN. All wireless devices on a WLAN must use the same SSID in order to
communicate with each other.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks.
Snooping
Passively watching a network for data that can be used to benefit a hacker, such as passwords.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
An encryption protocol that uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by
the authentication server. TKIP regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the
same encryption key is never used twice.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
A protocol permitting communications over and between networks. The TCP/IP protocol is the
basis for Internet communications.
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ)
WFQ services queues based on their priority and queue weight. Queues with larger weights get
more service than queues with smaller weights. This queuing mechanism is highly efficient in that
it divides any available bandwidth across the different traffic queues. See also Queuing
Algorithms.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
A security protocol that provides a WLAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to what
is usually expected of a wired LAN. WEP encrypts data transmitted between wired and WLANs to
keep the transmission private.
Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN)
WLANs use RF technology to transmit and receive data wirelessly in a certain area. This allows
users in a small zone to transmit data and share resources, such as printers, without physically
connecting each computer with cables.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA )
A subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA encrypts
data by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE
802.1x. See also WPA-PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key).
Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM)
Part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to the Wi-Fi standard that ensures quality of service
for multimedia applications in WLANs.
Wireless Client Supplicants
A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the
wireless client how to use WPA.
WPA -Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway
and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client will be granted access to a WLAN.
See also WPA.
WPA2
A wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key
management than WPA. It includes two data encryption algorithms, Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block
chaining Message authentication Code Protocol (CCMP). See also WPA.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A technology that enables access points to communicate with one another in order to extend the
range of a WLAN. WDS is appearing in 802.11g-based Access Points.
