Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance 4. Wireless Performance This section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the performance of a R100 Wireless Gateway. Site Topography For optimal performance, position wireless mobile clients and the R100 Wireless Gateways away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission.
Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance Range Every environment is unique with different obstacles, barriers, materials, etc. and, therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact range that will be achieved without testing. However, some guidelines have been developed to estimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in their facility, but there are no hard and fast specifications. Radio signals may reflect off some obstacles or be absorbed by others depending on their construction.
Appendix -Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The R100 Wireless Gateway is designed to be very easy to install and operate.

Appendix -Troubleshooting Problem The R100 Wireless Gateway Web Manager still cannot find or connect to the gateway after verifying the IP address and network cable, changes cannot be made, or password is lost. Solution In the case of the gateway being inaccessible, you can restore the R100’s factory default settings. Use a straightened paper clip to press the button located in the hole labeled Reset on the back of the gateway and keep it depressed over 5 seconds.
Appendix -Troubleshooting Problem My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the R100 Wireless Gateway. Solution Follow these steps: 1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of range of the R100. 2. Confirm that the R100 and PC Card have the same SSID. 3. Confirm that the R100 and PC Card have the same Encryption settings, if enabled. 4. Confirm that the R100’s Air and Link LEDs are solid green. 5.
Appendix -Troubleshooting Problem I cannot find the R100 Wireless Gateway using the R100 Wireless Gateway Discovery utility. Solution To configure the R100 through a wireless LAN card, your computer must be in the same subnet of the R100.

The factory default subnet of the R100 Wireless Gateway is 192.168.1.1.

Appendix - Glossary Frame-bursting - Refers to burst mode. Burst mode optionally allows a station to transmit a series of frames without relinquishing control of the transmission medium. Firewall - A firewall determines which information passes in and out of a network. NAT can create a natural firewall by hiding a local network’s IP addresses from the Internet. A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer and possibly damaging or viewing your files.
Appendix - Glossary NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT masks a local network’s group of IP addresses from the external network, allowing a local network of computers to share a single ISP account. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. This will enable access to the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
