    2 Preparing Your Network

    Preparing Your NetworkIn this chapter, youll learn what to do before configuring your router.Before you can configure your router, you need to set up all the computers on your network forTCP/IP networking.

    Collecting ISP InformationThe following information needs to be gathered from the ISP before you can configure yourrouter:

    Has your ISP assigned you a static IP address, or will it be assigned dynamically? If they have

    given you a static IP, what are the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS

    addresses used for this connection?Does your ISP use PPPoE? If so, what is your PPPoE username and password?

    Call your ISP ifyoure not sure of the answers to these questions.

    Configuring Windows for IP NetworkingYou need to configure each computer in your network for TCP/IP networking. If you plan to use theDHCP feature (recommended), you should configure each computer to receive an IP addressautomatically. See the procedure below.

    If you dont plan to use DHCP, youll need to manually assign an IP address to each computer.Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions on IP assignment.

    To configure Windows to receive dynamic IP address:

    1. Click the Start button. Select Settings and click the Control Panel icon. Double-click theNetwork icon.

    2. On the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP line for the applicable Ethernet adapter. Do notchoose a TCP/IP entry whose name mentions DUN, PPPoE, VPN, or AOL. If the word TCP/IPappears by itself, select that line. Click the Properties button.

    3. Click the IP Address tab. Select Obtain an IP address automatically

    4. Now click the Gateway tab, and verify that the Installed Gatewayfield is Blank. Click the OKbutton.

    5. Click the OK button again. Windows may ask you for the original Windows installation disk or

    additional files. Check for the files at c:\windows\options\cabs, or insert your Windows CD-ROMinto your CDROM drive and check the correct file location, e.g., D:\win98, D:\win9x, etc. (ifD isthe letter of your CD-ROM drive).

    6. Windows may ask you to restart your PC. Click theYes button. If Windows does not ask you torestart, restart your computer anyway.

    1. Click the Start button. Select Settings and click the Control Panel icon. Double-click theNetwork and Dial-up Connections icon.

    Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. Thedefault value is 2346.

    - RTS Threshold: RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent theHiddenNode problem. HiddenNode is a situation in which two stations arewithin range of the same wireless access point/router, but are not within range ofeach other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other. When a station startsdata transmission with the Wireless-G Router, it might not notice that the otherstation is already using the wireless medium. When these two stations send data atthe same time, they might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Wireless-GRouter. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages of both stations.If the HiddenNode problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTSmechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set. The defaultvalue is 2347.

    - Beacon Interval: Beacon interval is the amount of time between beacontransmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs thebeacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whetherthere are buffered frames at the wireless router).

    - Data Rate: By default, it selects the highest rate for transmission.- Preamble Type: A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to

    synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame

    delimiter. In a noisy network environment, the Preamble Type should be set toLong Preamble. The Short Preamble is intended for applications where minimumoverhead and maximum performance is desired.

    - Broadcast SSID: Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to detect theSSID of this wireless router.

    - IAPP: The Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) can extend multi-vendorinteroperability to the roaming function.

    - 802.11g Protection: there are CCK and OFDM modulation scheme using for802.11b and 802.11g respectively, the packet collision will increase when these twokind devices exist at the same time. We need to enable the Protection mode toincrease the performance.

Typically, a RADIUS server is used by Internet Service Providers(ISP) to perform AAA tasks. AAA phases are described as follows: Authentication phase: Verifies a user name and password against a local

    database. After the credentials are verified, the authorization processbegins.

    Authorization phase: Determines whether a request is allowed access to aresource. An IP address is assigned for the Dial-Up client. Accounting phase: Collects information on resource usage for the purpose

    of trend analysis, auditing, session time billing, or cost allocationYou must enter this RADIUS Servers Port number, IP address and Passwordcorrectly.

    Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1: What is wireless networking?Ans: The term wireless networking refers to technology that enables two or more computers tocommunicate using standard network protocols, but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, anytechnology that does this could be called wireless networking. The current buzzword howevergenerally refers to wireless LANs. This technology, fuelled by the emergence of cross-vendorindustry standards such as IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable wireless solutionsthat are growing in popularity with business and schools as well as sophisticated applicationswhere network wiring is impossible, such as in warehousing or point-of-sale handheld equipment.

    Q2: What is a wireless network made up of?Ans: There are two kinds of wireless networks:a. An ad-hoc, or peer-to-peer wireless network consists of a number of computers each equippedwith a wireless networking interface card. Each computer can communicate directly with all of theother wireless enabled computers. They can share files and printers this way, but may not be ableto access wired LAN resources, unless one of the computers acts as a bridge to the wired LANusing special software. (This is called "bridging")

    Figure A1: Ad-Hoc or Peer-to Peer Networking.Each computer with a wireless interface can communicate directly with all of the others.

    b. A wireless network can also use an access point, or base station. In this type of network theaccess point acts like a hub, providing connectivity for the wireless computers. It can connect (or"bridge") the wireless LAN to a wired LAN, allowing wireless computer access to LAN resources,such as file servers or existing Internet Connectivity.There are two types of access points:i. Dedicated hardware access points (HAP) such as Lucent's WaveLAN, Apple's Airport BaseStation or WebGear's AviatorPRO. (See Figure A2). Hardware access points offer comprehensivesupport of most wireless features, but check your requirements carefully.

    ii. Software Access Points which run on a computer equipped with a wireless network interface

    card as used in an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer wireless network. (See Figure A3) The VicomsoftInterGate suites are software routers that can be used as a basic Software Access Point, andinclude features not commonly found in hardware solutions, such as Direct PPPoE support andextensive configuration flexibility, but may not offer the full range of wireless features defined in the

    standard.With appropriate networking software support, users on the wireless LAN can share files andprinters located on the wired LAN and vice versa. Vicomsoft's solutions support file sharing usingTCP/IP.

    Figure A3: Software Access Point.Wireless connected computers using a Software Access Point.

    Q3: Can I mix wireless equipment from different vendors?Ans: Because most wireless networking hardware vendors support the 802.11 standard they caninter operate. However, we recommend verification as the standard is a fairly recent one, and does

    specify two different methods for wireless communications; Frequency Hopping (FH) and DirectSequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS or DS), which are not interoperable.When purchasing wireless networking hardware from separate vendors be sure to obtainguarantees from the ven
