  • Page 11: Description

    Description Network structures The following article deals with the setting up of various network structures using access points and clients. A client is also an access point in client mode. Standalone configuration with access point This configuration does not require a server and the access point does not have a connection to a wired Ethernet.
  • Page 12 Description 2.1 Network structures Wireless access to a wired Ethernet network If one (or more) access points have access to wired Ethernet, the following applications are possible: ● A single device as gateway: A wireless network can be connected to a wired network via an access point. ●...
  • Page 13 Description 2.1 Network structures Multichannel configuration If neighboring access points use the same frequency channel, this can lead to longer response times due to any collisions that may occur. If the configuration shown in the figure is implemented as a single-channel system, computers A and B cannot communicate at the same time with the access points in their wireless cells.
  • Page 14 Description 2.1 Network structures Wireless Distribution System (WDS) WDS allows direct links between access points and or between access points and other WDS-compliant devices. These are used to create a wireless backbone or to connect an individual access point to a network that cannot be connected directly to the cable infrastructure due to its location.

  • Page 19 Description 2.4 IEEE 802.11n MIMO antenna technology MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) is based on an intelligent multiple antenna system. The transmitter and the receiver have several spatially separate antennas. The spatially separate antennas transmit the data streams at the same time. Up to four data streams are possible.
  • Page 20 Description 2.4 IEEE 802.11n Channel bonding With IEEE 802.11n, data can be transferred via two directly neighboring channels. The two 20 MHz channels are put together to form one channel with 40 MHz. This allows the channel bandwidth to be doubled and the data throughput to be increased. To be able to use channel bonding, the recipient must support 40 MHz transmissions.
  • Page 21: Requirements For Installation And Operation

    Description 2.5 Requirements for installation and operation Modulation and coding schemes The IEEE 802.11n standard supports different data rates. The data rates are based on the number of spatial streams, the modulation method and the channel coding. The various combinations are described in modulation and coding schemes.

  • Page 23: Technical Basics

    Technical basics VLAN Network definition regardless of the spatial location of the nodes VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) divides a physical network into several logical networks that are shielded from each other. Here, devices are grouped together to form logical groups. Only nodes of the same VLAN can address each other.
  • Page 24 Technical basics 3.2 MAC-based communication The access point checks whether the destination MAC address matches the MAC addresses of the connected clients. Since a client can only adopt one MAC address, the access point does not find a match and discards the packets of several nodes. Maximum possible number of nodes downstream from the client: 1 Notes on the "Automatic"...
  • Page 25: Ipcf / Ipcf-Mc

    Technical basics 3.3 iPCF / iPCF-MC iPCF / iPCF-MC The wireless range of an IWLAN system can be expanded by using multiple access points. If a client moves from the area covered by one access point to the area covered by another access point, the wireless link is maintained after a short interruption (roaming).

  • Page 29 Technical basics 3.5 SNMP Standard values of the community strings: ● public has only read permissions ● private has read and write permissions Note Because the SNMP community strings are used for access protection, do not use the standard values "public" or "private". Change these values following the initial commissioning.
  • Page 30: Spanning Tree

    Technical basics 3.6 Spanning Tree SNMPv3 Compared with the previous versions SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. SNMPv3 introduces an extensive security concept. SNMPv3 supports: ● Fully encrypted user authentication ● Encryption of the entire data traffic ● Access control of the MIB objects at the user/group level Spanning Tree Avoiding loops The Spanning Tree algorithm detects redundant physical network structures and prevents...
  • Page 31: Rstp, Mstp, Cist

    Technical basics 3.6 Spanning Tree 3.6.1 RSTP, MSTP, CIST Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) One disadvantage of STP is that if there is a disruption or a device fails, the network needs to reconfigure itself: The devices start to negotiate new paths only when the interruption occurs.
  • Page 32 Technical basics 3.6 Spanning Tree Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is a further development of the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Among other things, it provides the option of operating several RSTP instances within different VLANs or VLAN groups and, for example, making paths available within the individual VLANs that the single Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol would globally block.
