  • Page 23: Chapter 3: Network Planning

    Chapter 3: Network Planning The wireless AP/Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs.

  • Page 24: Lan Access Point

    Network Planning The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address. The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), static IP for connection, L2TP and PPTP to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem.

  • Page 25: Wireless Bridge

    Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points.

  • Page 61 Wireless Settings Figure 5-21. WMM Parameters WMM Acknowledge Policy – By default, all wireless data transmissions require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC). Although this increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy.

Access Point An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks.
  • Page 100 Glossary Encryption Data passing between the access point and clients can use encryption to protect from interception and evesdropping. Ethernet A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.
  • Page 101 Glossary Open System A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the access point’s configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access point. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM) OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
  • Page 102 Glossary Virtual Access Point (VAP) Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access Points present within the RF footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP technology, WLAN users within the device’s footprint can associate with what appears to be different access points and their associated network services.
