2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode 2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode This chapter describes the major functions of the FLEXLAN DS540 series as a wireless LAN system and the wireless link modes of the FX-D540-APDL along with configuration examples of networks available in the wireless link modes. Roaming F unction The roaming function maintains the connection to the LAN by automatically changing the access point to which the user unit is connected when the unit moves.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode With the addition of an extra AP, however, the mobile station can now continue communications seamlessly. AP1 UU1 OK L W L O P (1) AP2 W L A N A N L P O W E R UU1 OK (2) AP3 W L L P O UU1 OK (3) AP : Access point (FX-DS540-APDL/APL) UU : User unit (FX-DS540-PCD/PCC/PCC2) Figure 2.2.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode IP Tunneling F unction (To be supported in the near future ) In TCP/IP, packets belonging to different network groups cannot normally be used. However, a technique called tunneling or IP tunnel technology can be used to temporarily modify packets belonging to different network groups so that they can be used. This technique can enable user units to communicate with the wired LAN as usual even when connected via an AP from a different network group.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode MAC Address Filtering MAC address filtering is the function to permit only the user units whose MAC address has been registered for an AP to log in to the AP. Using this function can reject an attempt to log in to an AP by an unidentified user unit not registered in the AP. Figure 2.4 shows a sample image of connections under control of MAC address filtering.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Bridge Packet Control Bridge packet control is the function that allows an AP to pass only data from those network devices whose MAC address has been registered for the AP to its clients. Using this function can restrict communication between user units. Figure 2.5 shows a sample image of connecting under bridge packet control. The example assumes that, for bridge packet control, only the MAC address of the router is registered in AP1 and AP2.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Wireless Link Mode Descriptions The AP has three wireless link modes. The available functions and network configurations differ depending on the mode. Use the wireless link mode most suitable to the type of network you are constructing. The factory default setting is simple mode. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the software setting procedures for the wireless link modes and relat ed items.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Compatible Infrastructure Mode This mode allows the FX-DS540-APW to be networked with other manufacturers’ Wi-Fi certified wireless terminals other than the CONTEC’s FLEXLAN series. Communications between the wireless terminals are always made via the APs. CAUTION The Compatible Infrastructure mode does not guarantee interconnection with Wi-Fi compliant products of other manufacturers.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Advanced Infrastructure Mode The Advanced Infrastructure mode is a mixture of the Standard Infrastructure and Compatible Infrastructure modes.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Wireless Link Mode and Communications The table below shows which wireless terminals can communicate with each other depending on the operating mode of the AP and user unit. [Table notation and notes] 1. UU stands for “ user unit ”. 2. AP⇔UU indicates communications between a unit type AP and user unit. 3. ST indicates an “AP managed by (logged in to) another AP ” which operates in the same way as a user unit. See Chapter 5 for details of the setup procedure. Table 2.1.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode Comparison of Main Functions The FX-DS540-APDL has three wireless link modes. The available functions are different for each mode. The following shows a table of the relationship between the operating modes and main functions and gives a brief explanation of each function. Table 2.2.
2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode MAC address filtering This function enables connection of only the terminals whose MAC address has been registered. Bridge Packet Control This function allows the AP to pass only that data to terminals which comes from network devices having a registered MAC address. Communication between wireless terminals can be rejected when their MAC addresses are unregistered. Data encryption This function encrypts wireless data.

In some medical institutions and laboratories, radio-sensitive precision instruments are used and it may be prohibited to use radio equipment. Radio waves are attenuated.
3. Setup Constructing a Network This section gives some pointers and cautions relating to constructing a network using the AP and user units, and provides some practical examples. (1) Check the coverage (cover area) of the AP. To use the AP with two or more user units logged in an infrastructure mode, all the user units must be installed within the cover area. The AP ’s coverage varies with obstacles (concrete walls, iron doors, elevator halls, etc.).
3. Setup Example 1 Use example This example constructs a network with 48 user units. Although the small area to be covered means that one AP should be enough, two APs are used to provide a backup and to ensure a reasonable level of communication speed. If AP1 or AP2 is down, the roaming feature allows user units to log in to the other AP and so provides a backup network connection.
