Base Station Functions 1.3.1 Base Station .unctions As a base station, the 9150 provides a link between the local area network and the wireless network consisting of Teklogix mobile terminals, and base stations such as the 9140 Wireless Gateway. The 9150 and 9400/9300 Network Controller (or host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit) communicate using the 9010 propri- etary protocol with TCP/IP over Ethernet, Token Ring or serial connectivity.
Radio Options 1.4 Radio Options The 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are possible. There is one internal and one external PC card slot available. The type of PCMCIA radio card installed in the 9150 is dependent on your wireless network. Currently supported radios are: •...
If a “collision” occurs – more than one terminal attempts to respond in a particular window – the 9150 that is polling divides and reassigns that group until the colliding terminals can respond without a collision.

Note: For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please see Chapter 4: “Base Station Configuration”. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 1.3, below.
Using bridging software, the 9150 Wireless Gateway enables communication between any wireless IEEE 802.11-equipped stations and LAN stations operating on Ethernet or Token Ring. The 9150 itself is resident on the LAN and functions as a MAC bridge, providing transparent integration between the stations on the wire- less and wired networks.
In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP informs the other 9150 Wireless Gateways when a new 9150 becomes active, and enables the awareness of the 9150s of each other. With IAPP, an IEEE 802.11 system can operate on one or more channels, with terminals moving between the 9150s.

Since these ports are auto-selecting, jumper or configuration settings are not required. The maximum packet size sup- ported over the network is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150, but should be set at the host.
The type of data cable used depends on the type of port required at the site. The type of port depends on the location of the 9150 and whether it is to be connected to a host computer or a network controller. Modems can be used to better accommodate long distances between the 9150 and the host computer or network controller.
An ANSI compatible video display terminal (e.g., DEC VT220 or higher), or a PC running terminal emulation, is used for diagnostic purposes and to configure the IP address for the first time before the 9150 can be accessed using a Web Browser (see “Configuring The IP Address” on page 25).

Trap Receivers These IP addresses determine which SNMP manager’s stations will receive SNMP Traps from the 9150. The 9150 sends the “Cold Start” Trap on reboot or power up. 3.4.4 TCP/IP Parameters The 9150 is situated on a wired network which uses TCP/IP. Both Bootp and DNS options are available to resolve IP addressing issues.
3.4.4.1 Host Table If no external DNS server is available, the 9150 may resolve host names to IP addresses using its internal host table. Hosts are added to the table by selecting “Configure” beside “[#} Add Entry” in the listbox. This will open the New Host Table Entry menu.
The 9150 has designated default IP addresses for itself and the Gateway. Alterna- tively, the IP address of the 9150 can be assigned using a BOOTP Server. The primary purpose of the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is to assign a designated IP address to the appropriate 9150 on the network.
The Default Gateway Address is assigned by the network administrator. This address creates an identifiable communication link between the 9150 and a network other than the one to which the 9150 is directly wired. The acceptable values for the Gateway IP address range from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If Auto Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the network controller. When the 9150 is operating as a Wlan base station under a network con- troller, this parameter should be disabled.
This parameter is used to assign a unique address to each base station. As the termi- nals move from one base station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the terminals, identifying each 9150 on a multiple base station system. The allowable range of base station numbers is 1 to 64.
This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal is allowed to be inac- tive before the 9150 declares it offline. An offline terminal is still considered part of the system. Messages to offline terminals are queued at the 9150. The terminal remains offline until it transmits any message.

ANSI/Telnet Protocol Options Terminal Type This parameter specifies the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150, either a VT100 or VT200. Host Port This parameter specifies the value for the host port for the selected ANSI host con- nection.
Page 132
When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each termi- nal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually.

Protocol Options Auto-login Password prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a pass- word, and it sends the password specified in the Auto-Login Password parameter to the host.
.unction Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection.

Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on the screen on page 121. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual...
IEEE 802.11, please refer to “IEEE 802.11 Protocol” on page 10. For operation as an access point, the parameters in the following pages must be set appropriately. Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration”. 7040 Hand-Held R.
Interfaces 6.2 Interfaces The pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option indicates which interfaces have been detected in use by the 9150, including one of two 802.11 PCMCIA radios: • IEEE 802.11 FH: Proxim RangeLAN802 IEEE 802.11 FHSS 2.4 GHz.

6.2.2 IEEE 802.11 (Direct Sequence Radio Parameters) When the Lucent WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 DSSS 2.4 GHz PCMCIA card is installed in the 9150, the following radio parameters page is opened: Physical Address This parameter shows the hardware address (MAC address) of the radio card.
The MAC Bridge parameters consist of protocol filters which direct the 9150 to forward or discard frames that contain a known protocol type. This enables the 9150 to be selective of what type of frames will be bridged over the radio, in order to limit the amount of data on busy networks.
Page 144
Figure 6.2 below charts the pages for the MAC bridge filters. Entering “OK” or “Cancel” in the individual Filter pages will return you to the Bridge Parameters page. .igure 6.2 Overview Of MAC Bridge Configuration Menus Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual...
√ filtering is enabled ( ), the 9150 can filter out frames based on destination MAC addresses. The list of MAC addresses for filtering is set by the Address Filters option on page 132. Frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the rest of the settings in this configuration.
6.3.2 Address .ilters: MAC Address The 9150 can use a list of destination MAC addresses to filter out frames. The MAC addresses are those of any terminals associating with the 9150. If Address Filters on page 131 is enabled, then any frame destined for any address in the list will be for- warded.
Protocol Filters 6.3.3 Protocol .ilters When the 9150 receives frames, it can forward or discard the messages by filtering the protocol Type fields encapsulated in the frame. The filtering is done on three types of Ethernet headers: Ethernet II, LLC and SNAP.
Page 148
The listboxes in the Protocol Filters option show the protocol filters already set in the configuration database. Selecting a protocol name and then opening the “Config- ure” dialog box gives a list of parameter settings that can be modified or deleted for that protocol.

In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP facilitates roaming of mobile stations among the 9150s, and enables communication and awareness between the 9150s. Every termi- nal is associated with one 9150, but it can reassociate with another 9150 to maintain uninterrupted communications. The association is “handed over” from one 9150 to the next.
140. Handover Timeout If there is no response to the Handover request by the 9150 within the time specified in the Handover Timeout parameter, the request is retransmitted. If no response is received after a number of retries (set in the Handover Retries parameter, below), the 9150 will complete the reassociation procedure itself.
