CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

The AresGate 2500 Series (AG2560/AG2561) Wireless ADSL Router is the perfect

networking solution to address the specific needs of enterprise wireless application

environments, such as airports, hotels, libraries, class rooms, cafés and other semi-

public areas. With the built-in ADSL WAN interface, AresGate offers shared high-

speed Internet connection rates of up to 8Mbps downstream and up to 800Kbps

upstream to your entire LAN network. Through an IEEE 802.11b wireless module,

AresGate delivers robust enterprise-level, secure wireless network access, which uti-

lizes IEEE 802.1x protocol to perform user-based access control. Furthermore, to

simplify installation and reduce the total cost of ownership, AresGate 2500 Series

support inline power over Ethernet, thus eliminating the need for all power supply

cabling once and for all.

Management Interface Options

2 June, 2002 AG2500Series Software User’s Guide

1.5 Management Interface Options

Access the AresGate management system through two simple management interface options:

1.5.1 HTML Interface (Web-based)

Through the built-in web-based GUI (Graphic User Interface), you can change the AresGate's settings,

upgrade its firmware, and monitor other wireless clients on the network. To use this management sys-

tem, please follow the steps below:

Step 1. Open your web browser.

Step 2. Enter the AresGate's IP address (default: 192.168.10.1) in the browser Location field (Netscape Navi-

gator) or Address field (Internet Explorer).

Step 3. Press Enter to connect.

1.5.2 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

You can also use a SNMP management application to monitor and configure AresGate. The unit sup-

ports the following MIBs (Management Information Base) and protocols:

MIBs

• Standard MIB II (RFC 1213)

• Wireless LAN MIB (IEEE 802dot11)

•PrivateMIB

Protocols

• SNMP V1

• SNMP V2

NOTE: Please refer to Appendix B for more detailed SNMP information.

Network Scenario

1.6 Network Scenario

Figure 1.1 Single AresGate Device Network Scenario

AresGate provides a connection point to the wireless clients and the wired LAN (Figure 1.1). The

WAN port indicates an ADSL interface connection to the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access

Multiplier) in a central office over an existing phone line. The LAN port indicates an Ethernet interface

connection to a Local Area Network.

Authentication Processing

AresGate authenticates all the clients who are associated with it. Wireless users who wish to pass the

authentication must provide the correct username and password or a valid MAC address stored in a

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server to access the Internet. Wireless users

who failed the authentication process are still permitted to access a pre-configured web page in the

access point for new user registration. Wired users on the LAN network are allowed to access the Inter-

net directly without the authentication process.

Accounting Processing

AresGate sends an accounting message to a RADIUS server periodically during the session, and termi-

nates the user if the session_time limit is reached. The session_time is configurable at the RADIUS

server, and AresGate receives the session_time value when authentication succeeds. User can config-

ure idle_time timers, re-authentication option through RADIUS as well. When the session is termi-

nated, AresGate sends the statistics to the RADIUS server, including session_time, packets, bytes, etc.

Network Scenario

4 June, 2002 AG2500Series Software User’s Guide

Figure 1.2 illustrates AresGate wireless application in a semi-public area in conjunction with ARES-

COM’s MTU DSL broadband platform, the ARESCOM CDS 6000 DSL Service System.

Figure 1.2 Multiple AresGate Devices Network Scenario

Roaming

When a wireless client moves from one coverage area to another, AresGate automatically performs cli-

ent roaming within the same subnet and the service provided to the client is continuous and seamless.

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the front/back panel layout and installation procedure for Ares-

Gate.

2.1 Front Panel Information

Figure 2.1 AG2500 Front Panel

PWR (Power)

A PWR LED is ON when power is supplied to the AresGate.

DIAG (Diagnostic)

The DIAG LED indicates the AresGate is in a self-diagnostic mode during boot-up.

Once the AresGate boots up successfully, the LED will turn off. If there is a software

malfunction or a problem with the device, the LED will remain on.

WAN

The WAN LED displays the 10BaseT DSL LINE port connection status between the

AG2000 and a DSL line. The WAN LED flashes during the initialization of the DSL

line. When DSL synchronization is achieved, it remains solid on.

LAN

The LAN LED displays the 10BaseT Ethernet connection between the AG2000 and

an Ethernet network. The LAN LED is solid on when a valid Ethernet link is estab-

lished. The LED flashes when data is flowing from/to this Ethernet port.

WLAN

The WLAN LED flashes very slow when there is no activity on this wireless port.

The LED flashes quickly when data is flowing from/to this port.

Back Panel Information

6 June, 2002 AG2500Series Software User’s Guide

2.2 Back Panel Information

Figure 2.2 AG2500 Back Panel

PHONE

The PHONE port allows you to connect to an external telephone set.

DSL LINE

The DSL port is where you connect the AresGate to a telephone outlet.

POWER (13.5V AC/1A)

The POWER port is where you connect the 13.5V AC power adapter.

RESET

Push this reset button to power-cycle the AresGate device.

LAN

The LAN port connects the AresGate to a PC, hub or switch on your wired LAN network.

Antenna Connector

The included external antenna needs to be securely attached to the antenna connector located on the far

right side of the back panel.

2.3 Location & Placement

• For maximum wireless coverage, locate an installation spot where there is a minimum number of

walls, ceilings or other objects that will block the radio transmission between the AresGate and the

wireless clients.

• Choose an installation location that is away from direct sunlight.

• It is important to place the AresGate device in the center of all the wireless clients.

• Place AresGate on a predetermined surface, so you can see the back panel for convenient cable con-

nection.
