ZyAIR B-4000 Hot Spot Gateway Chapter 18 Wireless LAN This chapter shows you how to configure wireless LAN settings on the ZyAIR and set up WEP encryption keys. 18.1 Wireless LAN Overview This section introduces the wireless LAN (WLAN) and some basic scenarios.
ZyAIR B-4000 Spot Gateway Figure 18-2 Basic Service set 18.1.3 ESS An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS).
ZyAIR B-4000 Hot Spot Gateway 18.2 Wireless LAN Basics This section provides background information on Wireless LAN features. 18.2.1 Channel A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices. Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference.
ZyAIR B-4000 Spot Gateway Figure 18-4 RTS/CTS When station A sends data to the ZyAIR, it might not know that station B is already using the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
ZyAIR B-4000 Hot Spot Gateway Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy. 18.2.4 Fragmentation Threshold A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the ZyAIR will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.

ZyAIR B-4000 Hot Spot Gateway How PPPoE Works The PPPoE driver makes the Ethernet appear as a serial link to the PC and the PC runs PPP over it, while the modem bridges the Ethernet frames to the Access Concentrator (AC). Between the AC and an ISP, the AC is acting as a L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and tunnels the PPP frames to the ISP.

ZyAIR B-4000 Hot Spot Gateway PPTP Protocol Overview PPTP is very similar to L2TP, since L2TP is based on both PPTP and L2F (Cisco’s Layer 2 Forwarding). Conceptually, there are three parties in PPTP, namely the PNS (PPTP Network Server), the PAC (PPTP Access Concentrator) and the PPTP user.
