4 Concept of the Wandy 2R radio hardware

The Wandy 2R has two interfaces

 Wireless interface  Wired interface

These two interfaces are connected together with or without a router between them. In bridge mode the wireless and Ethernet are directly connected. No routing or translating is done. In this mode the

unit can be used as a transparent device. The Wandy 2R can be even in different IP range.

4.1 Wireless Interface

The wireless radio of the device can acts as the following roles.

AP (Access Point)

The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN.

AP Client

This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

This mode serves as a wireless repeater, the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’ survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection.

WDS+AP

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the device.

4.2 Wireless to Wired connection

The Wireless and Wired interface can be connected together with or without a router function.

Router

The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement.

Bridge

The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.

WISP (Wireless ISP)

This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP address form your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless radio to be client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement.

The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes.

5 Wireless

In this menu it will be possible to configure the device for all the wireless settings. To change to operation mode go the menu Management.

5.1 Basic settings

Disable Wireless LAN Interface

Disable the wireless interface of device

Band

The device supports 2.4GHz(B), 2.4GHz(G) and 2.4GHz(B+G) mixed modes. Mode: The radio of device supports different modes as following:

Mode: AP

The radio of device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network.

Client

Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter.

WDS

Wireless Distribution System, this mode serves as a wireless repeater, only devices with WDS function supported can connect to it, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect the device when the mode is selected.

AP+WDS

Support both AP and WDS functions, the wireless clients and devices with WDS function supported can survey and connect to it.

Network type:

Page 15

Infrastructure:

This type requires the presence of 802.11b/g Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point.

Ad Hoc:

This type provides a peer-to-peer communication between wireless stations. All the communication is done from Client to Client without any Access Point involved. Ad Hoc networking must use the same SSID and channel for establishing the wireless connection.

Channel Number

The channel the unit will operate on. When set to “Auto”, the device will find the least-congested channel for use.

Enable Mac Clone (Single Ethernet Client)

The MAC address of the unit will be the MAC address of the PC connected to the Wandy 2R unit. This canb only be done in Client mode.

Enable Universal Repeater Mode

Universal repeater mode will make the Wandy 2R unit become client as well as AP on the same radio. In this mode it can repeater any vendor AP.

Extended SSID:

The SSID of the Universal repeater mode can be different from the AP the client is connected to.

5.2 Advanced settings

These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your device. The default setting is optimized for the normal operation. For specific application, setting configuration will required highly attention to reach optimistic condition.

Any unreasonable value change to default setting will reduce the throughput of the device.

Page 16

Authentication Type

The device supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. When you select “Share Key”, you need to setup “WEP” key in “Security” page (See the next section). The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can associate with the device by using one of the two types.

Fragment Threshold

The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance.

RTS Threshold

The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.

ACK timing. For long distance 802.11G it will be necessary to increase the ACK timing value. When operating at

802.11B the ACK timing value needs to be at least 100. For short distance 802.11G the value can be less.

Data Rate

The standard IEEE 802.11b/11g supports 1, 2, 5.5,11/6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 56 Mbps data rates. You can

Page 17

choose the rate that the device uses for data transmission. The default value is “auto”. The device will use the highest possible selected transmission rate.

Beacon Interval

The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacons in microseconds. The default beacon interval is 100.

Broadcast SSID

Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically. If you are building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide better security. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device must connect this device by manually configure the SSID in your client settings.

Int. Roaming

This function will let Wireless Stations roam among a network environment with multiple devices. Wireless Stations are able to switch from one device to another as they move between the coverage areas. Users can have more wireless working range. An example as the following figure You should comply with the following instructions to roam among the wireless coverage areas.

For implementing the roaming function, the setting MUST comply the following two items.

1) All the devices must be in the same subnet network and the SSID must be the same.

2) If you use the 802.1 x authentication, you need to have the user profile in these devices for the roaming station.

Block WLAN Relay (Isolate Client)

The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public Wireless Network, enable this function can provide better security. The device will block packets between wireless clients (relay). All the wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other.

Transmit Power

The device supports four transmission output power levels 250, 200, 150 and 100mW for CCK (802.11b) mode and two transmission output power levels 100 and 50mW for OFDM (802.11g) mode. User can adjust the power level to change the coverage of the device. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device also needs to have the high power radio. Otherwise the wireless stations only can survey the device, but can’t establish connection with device.

5.3 Security

This device provides complete wireless security function include WEP, 802.1x, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES and WPA2Mixed in different mode (see the Security Support Table). The default security setting of the encryption function is disabled. Choose your preferred security setting depending on what security function you need.

Page 18

5.3.1 WEP Encryption Setting

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. The WEP setting must be as same as each client in your wireless network. For more secure data transmission, you can change encryption type to “WEP” and click the “Set WEP Key” button to open the “Wireless WEP Key setup” page.

When you decide to use the WEP encryption to secure your WLAN, please refer to the following setting of the WEP encryption:

5.3.2 64-bit WEP Encryption

64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP. You can input 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9,

Page 19

a-f or A-F) or 5 ACSII chars. The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment.

5.3.3 128-bit WEP Encryption

128-bit WEP Encryption 128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. You can input 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f or A-F) or 10 ACSII chars. The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment.

5.3.4 WEP Encryption with 802.1x Setting

The device supports external RADIUS Server that can secure networks against unauthorized access. If you use the WEP encryption, you can also use the RADIUS server to check the admission of the users. By this way every user must use a valid account before accessing the Wireless LAN and requires a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. An example is shown as following.

You should choose WEP 64 or 128 bit encryption to fit with your network environment first. Then add user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS server. In the device , you need to specify the IP address Password (Shared Secret) and Port number of the target RADIUS server

5.3.5 WPA Encryption Setting

WPA feature provides a high level of assurance for end-users and administrators that their data will remain private and access to their network restricted to authorized users. You can choose the WPA encryption and select the Authentication Mode.

5.3.6 WPA Authentication Mode

This device supports two WPA modes. For personal user, you can use the Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. For Enterprise, authentication is achieved via WPA RADIUS Server. You need a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network.

Enterprise (RADIUS):

When WPA Authentication mode is Enterprise (RADIUS), you have to add user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS Server. In the device , you need to specify the IP address~ Password (Shared Secret) and Port number of the target RADIUS server.

Pre-Share Key:

This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They must be as same as each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is Passphrase, the key value should have 8~63 ACSII chars. When Key format is Hex, the key value should have 64 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F)

5.4 Access Control

Access Control provide the possibility to Allow or Deny connections to the Access point. The connections are filtered based on the MAC address of the Wifi devices that are “trying” to connect to the AP.

Page 20

This mode is only available when the wireless radio is configured as an access point. Comment field provide the option of adding readable text to a MAC address to make recognition easier.

5.5 Configuring WDS

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) uses wireless media to communicate with the other devices, like the Ethernet does. This function allows one or more remote LANs connect with the local LAN. To do this, you must set these devices in the same channel and set MAC address of other devices you want to communicate with in the WDS AP List and then enable the WDS.

Page 21

When you decide to use the WDS to extend your WLAN, please refer the following instructions for configuration.

 The bridging devices by WDS must use the same radio channel.  When the WDS function is enabled, all wireless stations can’t connect the device.  If your network topology has a loop, you need to enable the 802.1d Spanning Tree function.  You don’t need to add all MAC address of devices existed in your network to WDS AP List. WDS AP List

only needs to specify the MAC address of devices you need to directly connect to.

 The bandwidth of device is limited, to add more bridging devices will split the more bandwidth to every

bridging device.

All the entries in current filter table are used to restrict certain types of packets from your local network to through the device. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.

7.1 Port Filtering

When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port or port ranges in current filter table. Once the source port of outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the firewall will block those packets from LAN to WAN.

7.2 IP Filtering

When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP Addresses in current filter table. Once the source IP address of outgoing packets match the IP Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN.

7.3 MAC Filtering

When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC Addresses in current filter table. Once the source MAC Address of outgoing packets match the MAC Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN.

7.4 Port Forwarding (Virtual Server)

This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a web server or mail server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall.

The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table.

7.5 DMZ

A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP ) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set. It also is useful while you run some applications (ex. Internet game) that use uncertain incoming ports

8.3 Bandwidth Control

This page is used to configure the networking bandwidth. You can set the upstream and downstream data rate when the device is set to client mode.

8.4 Statistics

This page shows the packet counters for transmission and reception regarding to wireless and Ethernet networks.

8.5 Dynamic DNS Setting

Dynamic DNS is a service, that provides you with a valid, unchanging, internet domain name (an URL) to go with that (possibly everchanging) IP-address.

8.6 Time Zone

The Wandy 2R can maintain the system time by synchronizing with a public time server over the Internet.

8.7 Log

The Wandy 2R has a log funtion. On this page you can set what to log en where the unit must send its log to. A remote log server is possible by setting the IP address of the log server.

9 SSH login

Start a SSH(Secure Shell) client session to login the device The SSH server daemon inside device uses well-known TCP port 22. User must use SSH client utility such like Putty to login the device. The default password for user “root” is “wandy”, once user login the device then can change the password by CLI command. Execute CLI program This program won’t execute automatically when user login the device. User must manually execute it by typing the case-sensitive command “cli”. Please note that any modified settings won’t save permanently until user “Apply Changes to Flash” or reboot it. The new settings modified by CLI will take effect after rebooting the device.

Before Start to Configure To configure the device there is a web-browser interface. To access the web interfaces, make sure you are using a

computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. The default configuration of the device is WISP mode. The WISP mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP address form your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port of the device. Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running with the IP range 192.168.1.100-

192.168.1.200. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your subnet, otherwise it will cause abnormal situation. Inside the CD, we provide the device auto-discovery tool, the tool can detect the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device in case the IP address of device is changed and forgot by user. The tool only can discover the device in your local area network.

The Wandy 2R unit can operate in many more modes then WISP with routing function of Wifi Brigde. More information about these modes in chapter.
