Planning Your Wireless Network

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 2

Chapter 2:Planning Your Wireless

Network Network Topology

A wireless network is a group o computers, each equippedwith one or more wireless adapters. Computers in awireless network must be conigured to share the sameradio channel to talk to each other. Several PCs equippedwith wireless cards or adapters can communicate witheach other to orm an ad-hoc network without the use o an access point.

Linksys wireless adapters also provide access to a wired

network when using an access point or wireless router.An integrated wireless and wired network is called aninrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an inrastructurenetwork can talk to any computer in a wired or wirelessnetwork via the access point or wireless router.

An inrastructure coniguration extends the accessibilityo a wireless PC to a wired network, and may double theeective wireless transmission range or two wirelessadapter PCs. Since an access point is able to orward datawithin a network, the eective transmission range in aninrastructure network may be doubled (depending onantenna characteristics).

Roaming

Inrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilitiesor mobile users. Roaming means that you can move yourwireless PC within your network and the access pointswill pick up the wireless PC’s signal, providing that theyboth share the same wireless channel, SSID, and wirelesssecurity settings.

Beore you consider roaming, choose a easible radiochannel and optimum access point position. Proper accesspoint positioning combined with a clear radio signal willgreatly enhance perormance.

NOTE: Spanning Tree Protocol should bedisabled on the switches connecting to the APsto allow roaming to work without disruption.

Network Layout

The Access Point has been designed or use with 802.11gand 802.11b products, such as the Notebook Adaptersor your laptop computers, PCI Adapters or your desktopPCs, and USB Adapters.

These wireless products can also communicate with a802.11g or 802.11b Wireless PrintServer.

To link your wired network with your wireless network,connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any

switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoEinjector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12.

NOTE: 12 VDC on WAPPOE12 is or the splitteroutput. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDCpower output.

Go to the Linksys website at www.linksys.com or moreinormation about wireless products.

Example o a Simple Wireless Network

Example o Simple Wireless Network 

The above diagram shows a typical inrastructurewireless network setup. The Wireless Access Points areconnecting to a Linksys switch that provides power tothe Access Points. Each Access Point can connect multiplewireless devices to the network. This network will provideconnectivity among wireless network devices and PCsthat have a wired connection to the switch.

The switch then can connect to a router that can connectto an ISP or Internet access.

Radio Coverage o the Access Point to Client Devices

When using the Access Point to connect client devices,adjust it so the client devices are on the same horizontalplane as the Access Point and within a 3dB angle o 50 degrees. This will ensure the strongest signal and

maximum reach.

I the Access Point is used inside a building, put it in acorner o the building or maximum coverage.

Access Point to Access Point (bridging) Radio Coverage

I the Access Point is used as a bridge or repeater, adjustthe Access Points so they ace each other, this will ensure

the strongest signal and maximum reach.

Make sure that the orientation o the two DirectionalAntennas is the same. The radio wave is polarized so a 90degree rotation will result in no received power.

Due to its directional characteristics, the internal antennais ideal or point-to-point bridge mode or the spokeside o point-to-multipoint bridge mode. An externalomni-directional antenna (e.g. HGA9N) is recommendedor repeater mode applications.

Introduction

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Appendix A

To achieve true seamless connectivity, the wirelessLAN must incorporate a number o dierent unctions.Each node and Access Point, or example, must alwaysacknowledge receipt o each message. Each node mustmaintain contact with the wireless network even when

not actually transmitting data. Achieving these unctionssimultaneously requires a dynamic RF networkingtechnology that links Access Points and nodes. In sucha system, the user’s end node undertakes a search orthe best possible access to the system. First, it evaluatessuch actors as signal strength and quality, as well as themessage load currently being carried by each AccessPoint and the distance o each Access Point to the wiredbackbone. Based on that inormation, the node nextselects the right Access Point and registers its address.Communications between end node and host computercan then be transmitted up and down the backbone.

As the user moves on, the end node’s RF transmitterregularly checks the system to determine whether itis in touch with the original Access Point or whetherit should seek a new one. When a node no longerreceives acknowledgment rom its original Access Point,it undertakes a new search. Upon inding a new AccessPoint, it then re-registers, and the communication processcontinues.

What is the ISM band? 

The FCC and their counterparts outside o the U.S. have setaside bandwidth or unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial,

Scientiic and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity o 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide.This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to placeconvenient high speed wireless capabilities in the handso users around the globe.

What is Spread Spectrum? 

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radiorequency technique developed by the military or usein reliable, secure, mission-critical communicationssystems. It is designed to trade o bandwidth eiciencyor reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, morebandwidth is consumed than in the case o narrowbandtransmission, but the trade-o produces a signal thatis, in eect, louder and thus easier to detect, providedthat the receiver knows the parameters o the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. I a receiver is not tunedto the right requency, a spread-spectrum signal lookslike background noise. There are two main alternatives,Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and FrequencyHopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).

What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their 

dierences? 

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) uses anarrowband carrier that changes requency in a pattern

that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properlysynchronized, the net eect is to maintain a single logicalchannel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to beshort-duration impulse noise. Direct Sequence SpreadSpectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern oreach bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called achip (or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greaterthe probability that the original data can be recovered.Even i one or more bits in the chip are damaged duringtransmission, statistical techniques embedded in theradio can recover the original data without the need orretransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appearsas low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by

most narrowband receivers.

Would the inormation be intercepted while transmitting

on air? 

WLAN eatures two-old protection in security. On thehardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrumtechnology, it has the inherent security eature o scrambling. On the sotware side, the WLAN series oersa variety o wireless security methods to enhance securityand access control. Users can set it up depending upontheir needs.

Can Linksys wireless products support fle and printer  sharing? 

Linksys wireless products perorm the same unction asLAN products. Thereore, Linksys wireless products canwork with NetWare, Windows NT/2000, or other LANoperating systems to support printer or ile sharing.

What is WEP? 

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanismbased on a 40-bit shared-key algorithm, as described inthe IEEE 802.11 standard.

What is a MAC Address? 

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a uniquenumber assigned by the manuacturer to any Ethernetnetworking device, such as a network adapter, that allowsthe network to identiy it at the hardware level. For allpractical purposes, this number is usually permanent.Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time acomputer logs on to the network, the MAC address o adevice stays the same, making it a valuable identiier orthe network.

Introduction

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Appendix A

How do I avoid intererence? 

Using multiple Access Points on the same channel and inclose proximity to one another will generate intererence.When employing multiple Access Points, make sure to

operate each one on a dierent channel (requency).

How do I reset the Access Point? 

Press the Reset button on the back o the Access Point orabout ten seconds. This will reset the unit to its deaultsettings.

How do I resolve issues with signal loss? 

There is no way to know the exact range o your wirelessnetwork without testing. Every obstacle placed betweenan Access Point and wireless PC will create signal loss.Leaded glass, metal, concrete loors, water, and walls will

inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with your AccessPoint and your wireless PC in the same room and moveit away in small increments to determine the maximumrange in your environment.

You may also try using dierent channels, as this mayeliminate intererence aecting only one channel. Also,open the Access Point’s Web-based Utility. Click theWireless tab and then the Advanced Wireless tab. Makesure the Output Power is set to 100%.

Does the Access Point unction as a frewall? 

No. The Access Point is only a bridge rom wired Ethernet

to wireless clients.

I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see mynetwork.

Wireless security, such as WEP or WPA, is probably enabledon the Access Point, but not on your wireless adapter (orvice versa). Veriy that the same wireless security settingsare being used on all devices in your wireless network.

What is the maximum number o users the Access Point 

can handle? 

No more than 65, but this depends on the volume o data

and may be ewer i many users create a large amount o network traic.

Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Appendix B

Appendix B:Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, sohomes with high-speed Internet access are adopting themat a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates bysending inormation over radio waves, it can be morevulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.Like signals rom your cellular or cordless phones, signalsrom your wireless network can also be intercepted. Sinceyou cannot physically prevent someone rom connectingto your wireless network, you need to take some additionalsteps to keep your network secure.

1. Change the deault wireless

network name or SSID

Wireless devices have a deault wireless network nameor Service Set Identiier (SSID) set by the actory. Thisis the name o your wireless network, and can be upto 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless productsuse linksys as the deault wireless network name. Youshould change the wireless network name to somethingunique to distinguish your wireless network rom otherwireless networks that may exist around you, but do notuse personal inormation (such as your Social Securitynumber) because this inormation may be available oranyone to see when browsing or wireless networks.

2. Change the deault password

For wireless products such as access points and routers,you will be asked or a password when you want to changetheir settings. These devices have a deault password setby the actory. The Linksys deault password is admin.Hackers know these deaults and may try to use themto access your wireless device and change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customizethe device’s password so it will be hard to guess.

3. Enable MAC address iltering

Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media AccessControl (MAC) address iltering. The MAC address is aunique series o numbers and letters assigned to everynetworking device. With MAC address iltering enabled,wireless network access is provided solely or wirelessdevices with speciic MAC addresses. For example, you canspeciy the MAC address o each computer in your homeso that only those computers can access your wirelessnetwork.

4. Enable encryption

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wirelessnetwork. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and WiredEquivalency Privacy (WEP) oer dierent levels o securityor wireless communication. Currently, devices that areWi-Fi certiied are required to support WPA2, but are notrequired to support WEP.

A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more securethan a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the inormationas it passes over the airwaves, you should enable thehighest level o encryption supported by your network equipment.

WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the

only option available on some older devices that do notsupport WPA.

General Network Security Guidelines

Wireless network security is useless i the underlyingnetwork is not secure.

Password protect all computers on the network and•

individually password protect sensitive iles.

Change passwords on a regular basis.•

Install anti-virus sotware and personal irewall•

sotware.Disable ile sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications•

may open ile sharing without your consent and/orknowledge.

Additional Security Tips

Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away•

rom exterior walls and windows.

Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways•

o when they are not being used (at night, duringvacations).

Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters•

in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid usingstandard words that can be ound in the dictionary.
