1.5 Applications

The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

a) Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

b) Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.

c) The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.

d) Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the workplace.

e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.

f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Long Range Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge Version 1.0

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

g) Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.

h) Training/Educational facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

4.4 Wireless

 Click on the Wireless link on the

navigation drop-down menu. You will then see four options: wireless network, wireless MAC filter, WDS link settings, and wireless advanced settings. Each option is described

below.

4.4.1 Wireless Network

 The Wireless Network page allows you to configure the wireless

mode, channel, SSID, and security settings.

Long Range Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge Version 1.0

 Wireless Mode: Depending on the type of wireless clients that are

connected to the network, you may select A, B, G, B/G-mixed. If you are not sure about which clients will be accessing the wireless networks, it is recommended that you select A or B/G-mixed for the best performance.

 Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels

available are based on the country’s regulation.

4.4.1.1 Wireless Security - WEP

 Security Mode: Select WEP from the drop-down list if your wireless

network uses WEP encryption. WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that provides the same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.

Long Range Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge Version 1.0

 Authentication Type: Select an authentication method. Options

available are Open Key, Shared Key or Auto. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the Access Point. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to the Access Point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the Access Point allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you are not sure which authentication type is used.

 Input Type: Select He or ASCII from the drop-down list  Key Length: Select a key format from the drop-down list. 64bit-hex

keys require 10 characters, where as 128-bit keys require 26 characters. A hex key is defined as a number between 0 through 9 and letter between A through F.

 Default Key: You may use up to four different keys for four different

networks. Select the current key that will be used.

 Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys.  Click on the Apply button to save the changes.

Long Range Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge Version 1.0

4.4.1.2 Wireless Security – WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Mixed

 Security Mode: Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-Mixed from the

drop-down list if your wireless network uses WPA pre-shared key.

 Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list if your wireless

network uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.

 Passphrase: Specify a passphrase that is shared amongst the

Access Points and clients.

 Group Key Update Interval: Specify the number of seconds after

which the Access Point will probe the client for the passphrase.

 Click on the Apply button to save the changes.

4.4.1.3 Wireless Security – WPA, WPA2

 Security Mode: Select WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list if your

wireless network uses WPA. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired
