CHAPTER 2—WIRELESS NETWORK

FUNDAMENTALS

Wireless Network Configuration

Ad-hoc Mode (Peer-to-Peer Workgroup)

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard for

wireless LANs (WLANs), 802.11 offers two methods for configuring a wireless

network — ad-hoc and infrastructure. In an ad-hoc network, computers are

brought together as needed; thus, there is no structure or fixed points to the

network — each node can generally communicate with any other node. There is

no access point involved in this configuration. It enables you to quickly set up a

small wireless workgroup and allows workgroup members to exchange data or

share printers as supported by Microsoft Networking in the various Windows

operating systems. Some vendors also refer to ad-hoc networking as peer-to-

peer workgroup networking.

In this configuration, network packets are directly sent and received by the

intended transmitting and receiving stations. As long as the stations are within

range of one another, this is the easiest and least expensive way to set up a

wireless network.

To set up an ad-hoc workgroup operating with standard protocols, do the

following:

♦ Set all stations to connect in Ad-hoc mode (or Peer-to-Peer workgroup

mode).

♦ Set all stations to use the same network name (or SSID). Please refer to

page 6 for more information.

♦ Set all stations to use no WEP encryption key or an identical WEP

encryption key.

♦ Set all stations to use the same wireless channel for communication.

Infrastructure Mode

With a wireless access point, you can put the wireless LAN into the

infrastructure mode. It provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless

network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a

wireless node via an antenna.

In the infrastructure mode, the wireless access point converts airwave data into

wired Ethernet data, acting as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless

clients. Connecting multiple HE102 Wireless Access Points via a wired Ethernet

backbone can further extend the wireless network coverage. As a mobile

computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the

range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one access

point domain to another and still maintain seamless network connection.

To set up an infrastructure network operating with standard protocols, do the

following:

♦ Set all wireless stations to connect in infrastructure mode

♦ Set all stations to use the same network name (or SSID).

♦ Set all wireless access points to use the same network name (or ESSID). For

more information, please refer to page 7.

♦ Set all stations to use no WEP encryption key or an identical WEP

encryption key as the one used in Access points.

♦ Set up wireless channels used by individual access points. (It is not

necessary to set channels on the stations as the stations will automatically

scan through all channels for the nearest access point.)

Service Set Identification (SSID)

The Service Set Identification (SSID) is a thirty-two alphanumeric character

(maximum) string identifying the wireless local area network. Some vendors

refer to the SSID as “network name”. In order for stations to communicate with

each other, all stations must be configured with the same SSID.

A wireless LAN consisting of nodes operating in ad-hoc configuration without

an access point is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). All nodes in a BSS must use

the same Basic Service Set ID (BSSID).

In an infrastructure configuration with access points, multiple BSS can be

configured to form an Extended Service Set (ESS). In this configuration, the

access points are configured with the same Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).

Wireless clients configured with the same ESSID can freely roam from one

access point domain to another and still maintain seamless connection to the

network

Authentication and WEP Encryption

The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes the wireless links

vulnerable to information theft. To provide a certain level of security, IEEE

802.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods, Open System

and Shared Key. Open System authentication is a null algorithm. Shared Key

authentication is an algorithm where both the transmitting node and the

receiving node share an authentication key to perform a checksum on the

original message. By default, IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an open

system network.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption is utilized when the wireless

nodes or access points are configured to operate in Shared Key authentication

mode. There are three shared key methods implemented in NETGEAR’s

802.11a solutions: the standard based 40-bit WEP data encryption and 128-bit

WEP data encryption plus the extended 152-bit WEP data encryption.

The forty-bit WEP data encryption method allows for a five-character (forty-bit)

input. Additionally, 24 factory-set bits are added to the forty-bit input to

generate a 64-bit encryption key. (The 24 factory-set bits are not user

configurable.) This encryption key will be used to encrypt/decrypt all data

transmitted via the wireless interface. Some vendors may refer to the 40-bit

WEP data encryption as 64-bit WEP data encryption since the actual encryption

key used in the encryption process is 64 bits wide.

The 128-bit WEP data encryption method consists of 104 configurable bits and

the 152-bit WEP data encryption method consists of 128 configurable bits

Similar to the forty-bit WEP data encryption method, the remaining 24 bits are

factory set and not user configurable.

Wireless Channel Selection

IEEE 802.11a utilizes 300 MHz of bandwidth in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National

Information Infrastructure (U-NII) band. Though the lower 200 MHz is

physically contiguous, the FCC has divided the total 300 MHz into three distinct

domains, each with a different legal maximum power output.

U-NII Band Low Middle High

Frequency (GHz) 5.15 – 5.25 5.25 – 5.35 5.725 – 5.825

Max. Power Output 50 mW 250 mW 1W

Note: The high band is not supported in HE102 Wireless Access Point.
