2 Installation and Test

2.1 Network Mode

2.1.1 Wired LAN mode

CSC-H64 operates in LAN mode when you connect a LAN cable. To use this mode, you are required to either remove a USB wireless LAN adapter or set WLAN disabled.

Figure 2-1 Ethernet connection

2.1.2 Wireless LAN Mode

If the USB WLAN adapter is connected, CSC-H64 operates in WLAN mode.

CSC-H64 supports IEEE802.11b/g. IEEE802.11 standard that is called Wi-Fi has three network topologies: Infrastructure, Ad-hoc and Soft AP mode.

For security, CSC-H64 supports WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise (EAP-TLS/TTLS, PEAP).



To connect CSC-H64 to wireless LAN, a USB wireless LAN adapter which uses a RT3070/RT5370 chipset of Ralink Corporation is required.

2.2 WLAN overview

2.2.1 Infrastructure

In this mode, every wireless LAN station communicates through an Access Point (AP), which is able to interface with both Wireless LAN and Ethernet, so that all stations can be connected to Ethernet.

Figure 2-2 infrastructure mode

Figure 2-3 setting of Infrastructure

CSC-H64 User Manual Ver. 1.0

- 21 -

http://www.ezTCP.com

2.2.2 Ad-hoc

This is an easy way to set up network since wireless LAN stations communicate each other without an AP in this mode. It is suitable for a small scale network if wired LAN is not available. Usually, it is called peer-to-peer mode.

Figure 2-4 Ad-hoc mode

Figure 2-5 setting of Ad-hoc

CSC-H64 User Manual Ver. 1.0

- 22 -

http://www.ezTCP.com

2.2.3 Soft AP

Soft AP (Software embedded Access Point) is a mode that a wireless client can act as an AP through software embedded AP functions. Using this mode, the wireless client allow you to communicate with not only laptops and smartphones but also devices without Adhoc function.

CSC-H64 supports Soft AP function. While operating in this function, it has 10.1.0.1 as its IP address and assigns one of 10.1.X.X IP addresses to each client. (A simple DHCP server)

Figure 2-6 Soft AP mode

You can set Soft AP function manually on [Wireless LAN] section like the figure below.

Figure 2-7 setting of Soft AP

CSC-H64 User Manual Ver. 1.0

- 23 -

http://www.ezTCP.com

2.2.4 Key terms

 SSID(Service Set Identifier)

It is a name to identify the particular wireless LAN. So every single station should have the same SSID to communicate in the network. In the case of infrastructure mode, you have to set the same SSID of an AP to CSC-H64. Otherwise, it will not communicate at all. The maximum length of this parameter is 31 bytes and the default is “sollae”.

 Channel

Wireless LAN stations communicate through the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band which has the range of frequencies around 2.4GHz. IEEE 802.11 specification divides this band into 14 channels in every 5MHz. If you install more than one wireless network in the same area, the channels should be set more than 4 channels apart to avoid interferences.

2.2.5 Authentication and Security

 Authentication

A wireless LAN station should get authentication from the AP in the infrastructure network. There are two methods for the authentication, Open System and Shared Key.

 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

The WEP is a security protocol for wireless LAN. You need to set 64 bit or 128 bit key. You can use both hexadecimal and ASCII code for this.

 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA is a security standard for users of devices equipped with Wi-Fi wireless connection. It is expected to replace the original Wi-Fi security standard, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), compensating the weakness of it. There are two modes about the user authentication in WPA security. One is Enterprise which has an authentication server and the other is PSK (Pre-Shared Key) which does not have any servers.

 WPA2

As final security of Wireless LAN, The Counter Mode with Cipher Block Changing Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) was suggested for IEEE80211i (Wireless LAN standard) to replace the TKIP. CCMP uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is adopted by WPA2. WPA 2 has also both Enterprise and PSK mode.

2.3.2 Setting Network Aera

This step is for setting both CSC-H64 and users’ PC to be located the same network. If there is nothing other than them, the TCP connection between CSC-H64 and users’ PC can be established.

 Setting of the PC

Add or change the IP address of the network adapter on your PC like the following. Get into the menu of [Windows Control Panel] >> [Network Connections] >> [Properties of the Network Adapter – with right click of your mouse]. Then, you can see the properties of [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and press the [Advanced..] button for adding an IP Address like the figure below.
