USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 5.1 What and how to find my PC’s IP and MAC address? IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 191.168.1.254 could be an IP address.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 to the wired LAN for services (file servers, printers, Internet links) they will operate in infrastructure mode. Example 1: wireless Infrastructure Mode Ad hoc mode (also called peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set, or IBSS) is simply a set of 802.11 wireless stations that communicate directly with one another without using an access point or any connection to a wired network.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 5.7 What are potential factors that may causes interference? Factors of interference: ¾ Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture… etc. ¾ Building Materials: metal door, aluminum studs. ¾ Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors and electrical motors. Solutions to overcome the interferences: 9 Minimizing the number of walls and ceilings. 9 Position the WLAN antenna for best reception.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 value, we can get varying fragment sizes. The determination of an efficient fragment threshold is an important issue in this scheme. If the fragment threshold is small, the overlap part of the master and parallel transmissions is large. This means the spatial reuse ratio of parallel transmissions is high. In contrast, with a large fragment threshold, the overlap is small and the spatial reuse ratio is low.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 Beacon Interval represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point). 5.13 What is Preamble Type? There are two preamble types defined in IEEE 802.11 specification. A long preamble basically gives the decoder more time to process the preamble. All 802.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 authentication protocol, will be added to the network. 5.16 What is WPA2? It is the second generation of WPA. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard. 5.17 What is 802.1x Authentication? 802.1x is a framework for authenticated MAC-level access control, defines Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LANs (WAPOL).
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER 5.21 Version: 1.0 What is Wireless Distribution System (WDS)? The Wireless Distribution System feature allows WLAN AP to talk directly to other APs via wireless channel, like the wireless bridge or repeater service. 5.22 What is Universal Plug and Play (uPNP)? UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control points.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER 5.28 Version: 1.0 What is IPSEC? IPSEC is the abbreviation of IP Security. It is used to transferring data securely under VPN. 5.29 What is WLAN Block Relay Between Clients? An Infrastructure Basic Service Set is a BSS with a component called an Access Point (AP). The access point provides a local relay function for the BSS. All stations in the BSS communicate with the access point and no longer communicate directly.
USER’S MANUAL OF WLAN TRAVEL AP/ROUTER Version: 1.0 end user data to be sent in a given time. 5.34 What is Guard Intervals (GI)? A GI is a period of time between symbol transmission that allows reflections (from multipath) from the previous data transmission to settle before transmitting a new symbol. The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400ns (short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns GI is optional for transmit and receive.
