    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide System Description The SPEEDLAN brouters are high speed, long range wireless LAN brouters that provide connectivity to remote Ethernet networks. For single point-to-point links, a SPEEDLAN CPE can be used in each building to create a wireless communication line. For multipoint links, a SPEEDLAN acts as the central base station, which controls the communication between multiple SPEEDLAN brouters acting as CPE.

  • Page 16 SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide b) Allow for as much space between the wall brackets as possible while still maintaining the antenna height necessary. For extended poles, additional wall brackets may be necessary. c) Assemble the antenna and mount it to the pole using the included U-bolt hardware. On larger dish-type antennas, align the grid on the dish to run parallel with the grid on the tip of the antenna horn.
  • Page 17 SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Step 4. Ground the Antenna a) Mount the lightning arrestor to a solid surface. b) Run the grounding wire from the lightning arrestor to a proper ground source such as a grounding rod or roof ground wire. c) Seal the entire lightning arrestor with the black waterproof sealant insulation putty that comes in the installation kit.

  • Page 48: Bridge Setup

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Bridge Setup Each SPEEDLAN brouter contains an IEEE 802.3 MAC-layer bridging engine. The bridge can be configured to filter or pass any 802.3 frame type protocols, including Novell IPX, TCP/IP , AppleTalk, etc. The brouter can also be configured to filter packets by their destination and origin. This is done using the unique MAC (Media Access Control) addresses that all network interface devices have assigned to them at the factory.

  • Page 49: Protocol Filtering

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Protocol Filtering By default, the brouter is configured to pass all network protocols. When you click Edit, you will be presented with a list of protocols which you can select for filtering. After selecting the protocols, highlight them on this dialog box.

  • Page 52 SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Enable Learned-Table Lockdown • A standard bridge watches the source address of each packet it receives on any of its interfaces. As new addresses are seen, entries are added to the learned table that con- tains each source address and the interface number that address was received on.

  • Page 53: Storm Thresholds Button

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Storm Thresholds Button Click Storm Thresholds to keep broadcast and multicast storms from spreading throughout the network. Network storms are common and can cause bridges, routers (brouters), workstations, servers, and PCs to slow down or crash. Storms occur if network equipment is configured incorrectly, if network software is not functioning properly, or if poorly designed programs such as network games are used.

  • Page 54: Tunnel Partners Button

    Encrypt Bridge Tunnel Packets • If purchased, a brouter (from Wave Wireless) may contain a special software-encryption algorithm that is distinct from the optional SPEEDLAN encryption chip on the brouter. If Data Encryption is enabled on the General Setup dialog box and if an Encryption Key is set up in the Data Encryption menu, enabling encryption here will cause all Ethernet packets transmitted to tunnel partners to be encrypted and encapsulated inside IP packets.

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Note: If the network is managed by a Simple Network Management Protocol for local or Internet access, each brouter must contain a unique IP Address. This is a benefit of static or dynamic addressing. How does a network administrator assign an IP address? IP addresses are supplied by the network administrator, the ISP , or hosting company.

  • Page 65: Figure Of Dhcp Addressing

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP , which reduces the agony of assigning static IP addresses and also provides advanced configuration options. Note: The figure on the next page may help you understand how DHCP assigns an IP address.

  • Page 66: What Is Nat

    SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide What is NAT? Network Address Translation (NAT) is the conversion of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address within another network. One network is designated the inside network and the other is the outside network. Network Address Translation (NAT) occurs when there is a translation among an Internet Protocol (IP address) used within one network (designated as inside network) to a different IP addresses within another network (designated as outside network).

  • Page 75 SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Note: For more information, see Subnetting a Network, page 7-5. Once the packet has traveled to the appropriate network, it goes through a masking process. A subnet mask is composed of zeros (0s) and ones (1s). This tells the router which addresses to look under and which ones not to look under.
