1 1. Introducing the WLA-5000AP

802.11 A/G Access Point

1.1 Overview

The WLA-5000AP 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT is an access-point based on IEEE

802.11a/g based 2.4-GHz radio technology. It contains an 802.11a/g and a full-duplex

10/100 LAN interfaces. The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT can function as a simple

Access Point (AP), and act as the center point of a wireless network supporting a data

rate of up to 54 Mbps. It can also connect these wireless devices to wired network

through the LAN interface.

The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT can also function in a repeater mode, which is used to

extend the physical coverage of the wireless network. Finally, the 802.11A/G ACCESS

POINT can also function in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode. Multiple

802.11A/G ACCESS POINTs can be configured to operate in the WDS mode to

inter-connect wired LAN segments that are attached to these 802.11A/G ACCESS

POINTs.

Since the 802.11g shares the same 2.4GHz radio band as the 802.11b technology, it can

inter-operate with existing 11Mbps 802.11b devices. Therefore you can protect your

existing investment in 802.11b client cards, and migrate to the high-speed 802.11g

standard as your needs grow.

To address growing security concerns in a wireless LAN environment, different levels of

security can be enabled in the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT:

To disable SSID broadcast to restrict association to only those client stations that are

already pre-configured with the correct SSID

To enable WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) 64, 128, or 156-bit encryption to

protect the privacy of your data.

Support of Access List Control to allow you to grant/deny access to/from specified

wireless stations

Provisioning of centralized authentication through Radius Server(s).

WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) for home users to provide

authentication, data integrity, and data privacy.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) works with a RADIUS server to provide stronger

authentication as well as data integrity and privacy.

1.2 Features

Compliant with draft 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g standards with roaming

capability.

Support of the standard access point mode for connection to wireless clients.

Support of the repeater mode to extend infrastructure coverage.

Support of the WDS mode for interconnecting LAN segments.

Built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to wired/wireless clients automatically.

Static assignment or DHCP client to set the device IP address.

Multiple security measures: SSID hiding, Access Control List, WEP based encryption

(64, 128, 152 bits), enhanced Security with 802.1x using a primary and a backup

Radius Server with/without dynamic WEP keys, WPA-PSK, and WPA.

Extensive monitoring capability such as event logging, traffic/error statistics

monitoring. Support of remote logging.

Easy configuration and monitoring through the use of a Web-browser based GUI,

SNMP commands from a remote SNMP management station, and UPnP for users to

automatically discover the device.

Setup Wizard for easy configuration/installation.

Configuration file download and restore.

Firmware upgradeable.

1.3 Network configuration examples

A group of wireless stations communicating with each other is called a Basic Service Set

(BSS) and is identified by a unique SSID.

When an 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT is used, it can be configured to operate in the

following three network configurations

1.3.1 AS AN ACCESS POINT

When configured in the Access Point mode, the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT allows a

group of wireless stations to communicate with each other through it. Such a network is

called an Infrastructure BSS.

The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT further provides bridging functions between the

wireless network and the wired LAN network.

When multiple access points are connected to the same LAN segment, stations can roam

from one 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT to another without losing their connections, as

long as they are using the same SSID. See the diagram below.

1.3.2 AS A STAND-ALONE REPEATER

The purpose of a repeater is to expand an existing infrastructure BSS. When configured

to operate in the Repeater Mode, the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINTs sit between wireless

stations and a “root” AP whose BSS is being expanded, as shown below:

1.3.3 AS A POINT TO MULTI-POINTS BRIDGE

When configured to operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the

802.11A/G ACCESS POINT provides bridging functions between the LAN behind it

and separates LANs behind other APs’ operating in the WDS mode. The system will

support up to eight such AP in a WDS configuration.

Note that an 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT running in the WDS mode can also support

wireless stations simultaneously. See the diagram below:

1.4 Set up the device

The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT can be managed remotely by a PC through either the

wired or wireless network. To do this, the WLA-5000AP must first be assigned an IP

address, which can be done using one of the following two methods.

1.4.1 STATIC IP

The default IP address of the LAN interface of an WLA-5000AP is a private IP address of

192.168.1.1, and a network mask of 255.255.255.0. This means IP addresses of other

devices on the LAN should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.

This IP address can be modified to either a different address in this same subnet or to an

address in a different subnet, depending on the existing network settings (if there is any)

or user’s preference.

1.4.2 AUTOMATIC IP

The WLA-5000AP can also be configured to “obtain” an IP address automatically from a

DHCP server on the network. This address is called “dynamic” because it is only

dynamically assigned to the device, which may change depends on the IP assignment

policy used by the DHCP server on the network. Since the IP address in this case may

change from time to time, this method is not recommended - unless the user uses UPnP

or other management tools that do not depend on a fixed IP address.
