(Default: 20/40MHz) • Guard Interval – The guard interval between symbols helps receivers overcome the effects of multipath delays. When you add a guard time, the back portion of useful signal time is copied and appended to the front.
  • Page 62 System Configuration Figure 5-17. Advanced Wireless Settings • BG Protection – Enables a backward compatible protection system for 802.11b clients. There are three modes. (Default: Auto): - Auto: The Multimedia Router enables its protection mechanism for 802.11b clients when they are detected in the network. When 802.11b clients are not detected, the protection mechanism is disabled.
  • Page 63 Wireless Settings default value of 2 indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster.
  • Page 64 System Configuration Configuring Wi-Fi Multimedia Wireless networks offer an equal opportunity for all devices to transmit data from any type of application. Although this is acceptable for most applications, multimedia applications (with audio and video) are particularly sensitive to the delay and throughput variations that result from this equal opportunity wireless access method.
  • Page 65 Wireless Settings Access Categories – WMM defines four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Table 5-1). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate inter operability with other wired network QoS policies.

  • Page 66: Wlan Security

    System Configuration 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.
  • Page 67 Wireless Settings Security The Multimedia Router supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces referred to as WLAN1 and WLAN2. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own security settings. Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Security”. Figure 5-20.
  • Page 68 System Configuration - Open: Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect the Multimedia Router without verifying its identity. In this mode the default encryption type is "None". - Shared: The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients before attempting authentication.

  • Page 69: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (Wps)

    Wireless Settings - WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: The WPA or WPA2 mode uses a common password phrase, called a Pre-Shared Key, that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network. Specify a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers.

Access Point An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks.
  • Page 106 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 107 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.
