C HAPT ER 1 Introducing the NWA This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the NWA. It also discusses the ways you can manage your NWA. 1.1 Introducing the NWA Your NWA extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. The NWA controls network access with MAC address filtering and RADIUS server authentication. It also provides a high level of network traffic security, supporting IEEE 802.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA 1.2.1 Access Point The NWA is an ideal access solution for wireless Internet connection. A typical Internet access application for your NWA is shown as follows. Stations A, B and C can access the wired network through the NWAs. Figure 1 Access Point Application 1.2.2 Bridge / Repeater The NWA can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA At the time of writing, WDS security is compatible with other ZyXEL NWA-series access points only. Refer to your other access point’s documentation for details. Figure 2 Bridge Application Figure 3 Repeater Application 1.2.2.1 Bridge / Repeater Mode Example In the example below, when both NWAs are in bridge mode, they form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allowing the computers in LAN 1 to connect to the computers in LAN 2.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA Be careful to avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging in the NWA. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic to circle the network endlessly, resulting in possible throughput degradation and disruption of communications. The following examples show two network topologies that can lead to this problem: • If two or more NWAs (in bridge mode) are connected to the same hub.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA When the NWA is in AP+Bridge mode, security between APs (the Wireless Distribution System or WDS) is independent of the security between the wireless stations and the AP. If you do not enable WDS security, traffic between APs is not encrypted. When WDS security is enabled, both APs must use the same pre-shared key. See Section 5.4.3 on page 58 for more details. Unless specified, the term “security settings” refers to the traffic between the wireless stations and the NWA.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA 1.2.5 Multi SSID A Basic Service Set (BSS) is the set of devices forming a single wireless network (usually an access point and one or more wireless clients). The Service Set IDentifier (SSID) is the name of a BSS. In Multi SSID mode, the NWA provides multiple virtual APs, each forming its own BSS and using its own individual SSID profile. You can configure up to eight SSID profiles, and have up to four active at any one time.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NWA using a (supported) web browser. • Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers. • FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for firmware upgrades. • SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. 1.4 Configuring Your NWA’s Security Features Your NWA comes with a variety of security features.
Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA 1.5 Good Habits for Managing the NWA Do the following things regularly to make the NWA more secure and to manage it more effectively. 1.6 Hardware Connections See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections. 1.7 LEDs Figure 10 LEDs Table 1 LEDs LABEL LED 1 SYS 2 18 WLAN COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION Green On The NWA is receiving power and ready for use.

Chapter 8 RADIUS Screen RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless client and the network RADIUS server. You should know the IP addresses, ports and share secrets of the external RADIUS server and/or the external RADIUS accounting server you want to use with your NWA. You can configure a primary and backup RADIUS and RADIUS accounting server for your NWA. 8.4 The RADIUS Screen Use this screen to set up your NWA’s RADIUS server settings.
Chapter 8 RADIUS Screen Table 21 Wireless > RADIUS (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Backup If the NWA cannot communicate with the Primary server, you can have the NWA use a Backup server. Make sure the Active check boxes are selected if you want to use backup servers. The NWA will attempt to communicate three times before using the Backup servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to use the backup server.

C HAPTER 12 Remote Management 12.1 Overview This chapter shows you how to enable remote management of your NWA. It provides information on determining which services or protocols can access which of the NWA’s interfaces. Remote Management allows a user to administrate the device over the network.
Chapter 12 Remote Management • Use the WWW screen to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use the Web Browser to manage the NWA (see Section 12.6 on page 104). • Use the SNMP screen to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) a network systems manager can access the NWA (see Section 12.7 on page 106). 12.
Chapter 12 Remote Management Note: SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured. Figure 51 SNMP Management Mode An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the NWA). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions.
Chapter 12 Remote Management System Timeout There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). The NWA automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling. 12.4 The Telnet Screen Use this screen to configure your NWA for remote Telnet access. You can use Telnet to access the NWA’s Command Line Interface (CLI). Click REMOTE MGNT > TELNET.

A PPENDIX C IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts. Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID. Figure 94 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask.
Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a “1” value). For example, an “8-bit mask” means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes. Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks.
Appendix C IP Addresses and Subnetting The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations.

A PPENDIX D Wireless LANs Wireless LAN Topologies This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies. Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless adapters (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other, they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an ad-hoc network or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
Appendix D Wireless LANs disabled, wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other. Figure 98 Basic Service Set ESS An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS). This type of wireless LAN topology is called an Infrastructure WLAN.
Appendix D Wireless LANs An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated wireless clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate. Figure 99 Infrastructure WLAN Channel A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by wireless devices to transmit and receive data. Channels available depend on your geographical area.
Appendix D Wireless LANs cannot "hear" each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are considered hidden from each other. Figure 100 RTS/CTS When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
Appendix D Wireless LANs If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size. Preamble Type Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Short and long refer to the length of the synchronization field in a packet.
Appendix D Wireless LANs The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods available on your NWA. Table 57 Wireless Security Levels SECURITY LEVEL Least Secure SECURITY TYPE Unique SSID (Default) Unique SSID with Hide SSID Enabled MAC Address Filtering WEP Encryption IEEE802.
Appendix D Wireless LANs RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless client and the network RADIUS server. Types of RADIUS Messages The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server for user authentication: • Access-Request Sent by an access point requesting authentication. • Access-Reject Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access. • Access-Accept Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.
Appendix D Wireless LANs EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) MD5 authentication is the simplest one-way authentication method. The authentication server sends a challenge to the wireless client. The wireless client ‘proves’ that it knows the password by encrypting the password with the challenge and sends back the information. Password is not sent in plain text. However, MD5 authentication has some weaknesses.
Appendix D Wireless LANs If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless security configuration screen. You may still configure and store keys, but they will not be used while dynamic WEP is enabled. Note: EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption.
Appendix D Wireless LANs called Rijndael. They both include a per-packet key mixing function, a Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism. WPA and WPA2 regularly change and rotate the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used twice.
Appendix D Wireless LANs WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example To set up WPA(2), you need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server looks as follows. "A" is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system. 1 The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server.
Appendix D Wireless LANs 4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and information exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They use these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them. Figure 102 WPA(2)-PSK Authentication Security Parameters Summary Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each authentication method or key management protocol type.
Appendix D Wireless LANs Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN. Antenna Characteristics Frequency An antenna in the frequency of 2.4GHz or 5GHz is needed to communicate efficiently in a wireless LAN Radiation Pattern A radiation pattern is a diagram that allows you to visualize the shape of the antenna’s coverage area. Antenna Gain Antenna gain, measured in dB (decibel), is the increase in coverage within the RF beam width.
Appendix D Wireless LANs For directional antennas, point the antenna in the direction of the desired coverage area.
A PPENDIX E Text File Based Auto Configuration This chapter describes how administrators can use text configuration files to configure the wireless LAN settings for multiple APs. Text File Based Auto Configuration Overview You can use plain text configuration files to configure the wireless LAN settings on multiple APs. The AP can automatically get a configuration file from a TFTP server at startup or after renewing DHCP client information.
Appendix E Text File Based Auto Configuration Use the following procedure to have the AP download the configuration file. Table 60 Configuration via SNMP STEPS MIB VARIABLE VALUE Step 1 pwTftpServer Set the IP address of the TFTP server. Step 2 pwTftpFileName Set the file name, for example, g3000hcfg.txt. Step 3 pwTftpFileType Set to 3 (text configuration file). Step 4 pwTftpOpCommand Set to 2 (download).
