Planet WNAP-7320 - Installation Precautions - 1

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these limes. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

Planet WNAP-7320 - IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: - 1

natural_image Illustration of three utility poles with red lightning bolts indicating electrical hazard (no text or symbols)

Assume all overhead lines are power lines.

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

  • Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
  • Don't work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
  • Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.
  • If a tower or mast begins falling, don't attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
  • If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON'T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.
  • Don't attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

  • The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
  • Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

  • DON'T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
  • Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power.

Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.

3.3 Installing the AP

5.4.5 QoS

Quality of Service provides an efficient way for clients on the network to share the bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete with each other to get the bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) will be affected. With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid such unpleasing result from happening.

The page includes the following fields:

Object Description
• WAN ConnectionsSelect IPSEC from the list.
• Primary DNS Server(Optional) Enter the DNS IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
• Secondary DNS Server(Optional) Enter another DNS IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
• Connection address familyFor an IPSec connection, all host addresses must be of the same Address Family (IPv4 and IPv6 use different Address Families).
• IPSec Operation ModeSelect the IPSec Operation Mode from the drop-down list.
• IPSec Connection TypeThis field allows you to set the connection type to any of the following:SelectTunnelto specify a Host to Host, Host to Subnet (Road Warrior), orSubnet to Subnet Tunnel. This is by far the most common connection type.SelectTransportto specify a Host to Host Transportmode tunnel. This connection type is much less common, and would generally only be used if you are attempting to establish and IPSec connection to another host which specifically requires this mode.SelectPassthroughto disable IPSec processing on packets associated with the tunnel. We can't imagine a scenario where you would use this connection type. I mean seriously, if you don't allow IPSec to process the packets then you don't really have a tunnel, right? Still, the underlying protocol supports this mode, and so here we are.SelectDropto cause the kernel to drop IPSec packets associated with the tunnel.SelectRejectto cause the kernel to reject IPSec packets associated with the tunnel.
• PFS|DH GroupPerfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)—PFSensures that a given IPSec SA key was not derived from any other secret, like some other keys. In other words, if someone breaks a key, PFS ensures that the attacker is not able to derive any other key. If PFS is not enabled, someone can potentially break the IKE SA secret key, copy all the IPSec protected data, and then use knowledge of the IKE SA secret in order to compromise the IPSec SAs setup by this IKE SA. With PFS, breaking IKE does not give an attacker immediate access to IPSec. The attacker needs to break each IPSec SA individually.Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol allows two parties without any initial shared secret to create one securely. The following Modular Exponential (MODP) and Elliptic Curve (EC2N) Diffie-Hellman (also known as "Oakley") Groups are supported:
Diffie-Hellman Group Name Reference
Group 1 768 bit MODP group RFC 2409
Group 2 1024 bits MODP group RFC 2409
Group 3 EC2N group on GP(2^155) RFC 2409
Group 4 EC2N group on GP(2^185) RFC 2409
Group 5 1536 bits MODP group RFC 3526
• IPSec AuthenticationThe AP supports SHA1 & MD5 authentication algorithms.
• IPSec EncryptionThe AP supports DES, 3DES, AES, Blowfish, Twofish, Camellia Encryption methods.DES - 56-bit DES-CBC encryption algorithm3DES - 168-bit DES encryption algorithmAES - 128, 192 and 256-bit key AES-CBC encryption algorithmBlowfish - a symmetric block cipher that can be used as a drop-in replacement for DES or IDEA. It takes a variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits.Twofish - Twofish has a 128-bit block size, a key size ranging from 128 to 256 bits, and is optimized for 32-bit CPUs.Camellia - 128, 192 and 256-bit key Camellia encryption algorithm
• SA connection Life TimeThis value describes the timeframe in hours for which the IKE SA is valid and when the next rekeying should take place.
• IKE Key TriesThe field is used to specify the retry times of IKE Key.
• Local IP AddressThis field is used to configure the IP address of the Untangle server on the network configured in the Local Network field.
• Peer IP AddressThis field should contain the public IP address of the host to which the IPSec VPN will be connected.
• Local SubnetThis field is used to configure the local network that will be reachable from hosts on the other side of the IPSec VPN.
• Peer SubnetThis field is used to configure the remote network that will be reachable from hosts on the local side of the IPSec VPN.
• Local GatewayThis field is used to configure the Gateway of the Untangle server on the network configured in the Local Network field.
• Peer GatewayThis field should contain the public Gateway of the host to which the IPSec VPN will be connected.
• IPSec Tunnel NameThis field should contain a short name or description.
• IPSec Secret KeyThis field should contain the shared secret or PSK (pre-shared key) that is used to authenticate the connection, and must be the same on both sides of the tunnel for the connection to be successful. Because the PSK is actually used as the encryption key for the session, using long strings of a random nature will provide the highest level of security.
IPSec Key Life timeLifetime settings determine when a new key is generated. Any time a key lifetime is reached, the associated SA is also renegotiated. The process of generating new keys at intervals is called dynamic rekeying or key regeneration. Lifetimes allow you to force the generation of a new key after a specific interval. For example, if the communication takes 12 hours and you specify the key lifetime as 1 hour, 12 keys will be generated (one every 1 hour) during the exchange.
NAT TraversalNAT Traversal also known as UDP encapsulation allows traffic to get to the specified destination when a device does not have a public address. This is usually the case if your ISP is doing NAT, or the external interface of your firewall is connected to a device that has NAT enabled.
Perfect Forward SecretsSelect the checkbox to enable PFS (Perfect Forward Secrets).
IPSec CompressionSelect the checkbox to enable compression of content on the connection.
IPSec Conn. Keep AliveWhen the firewall is located behind a NAT device, it sends keep alive packets to maintain the connection. You can also force it to send keep alive packets for all NAT-T connections.
IPSec Tunnel UPThis field indicates the IPSec Tunnel is UP and running.

Appendix A: FAQ

A.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

The MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address.) When you're connected to the Internet from your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it), a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

To find your PC's IP and MAC address,

(1) Open the Command program in the Microsoft Windows.
(2) Type in "ipconfig /all", then press the Enter button.

(3) Your PC's IP address is the one entitled IP Address and your PC's MAC address is the one entitled Physical Address.

A.2 What is Wireless LAN?

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a network that allows access to Internet without the need for any wired connections to the user's machine.

A.3 What are ISM bands?

ISM stands for Industrial, Scientific and Medical; radio frequency bands that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized for wireless LANs. The ISM bands are located at 915 +/-13 MHz, 2450 +/-50 MHz and 5800 +/-75 MHz.

A.4 How does wireless networking work?

The 802.11 standard define two modes: infrastructure mode and ad hoc mode. In infrastructure mode, the wireless network consists of at least one access point connected to the wired network infrastructure and a set of wireless end stations. This configuration is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs forming a single sub-network. Since most corporate WLANs require access 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. This mode is useful for quickly and easily setting up a wireless network anywhere that a wireless infrastructure does not exist or is not required for services, such as a hotel room, convention center, or airport, or where access to the wired network is barred (such as for consultants at a client site).

Independent Basic Service Set (IB SS)

Example 2: wireless Ad Hoc Mode

A.5 What is BSSID?

A six-byte address is that distinguish a particular a particular access point from others. Also know as just SSID. Serve as a network ID or name.

A.6 What is ESSID?

The Extended Service Set ID (ESSID) is the name of the network you want to access. It is used to identify different wireless networks.

A.7 What are potential factors that may causes interference?

Factors of interference:

■ Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture... etc.
■ Building Materials: metal door, aluminum studs.
■ Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors and electrical motors.

Solutions to overcome the interferences:

■ Minimizing the number of walls and ceilings.
■ Position the WLAN antenna for best reception.
- Keep WLAN devices away from other electrical devices, eg: microwaves, monitors, electric motors...etc.
■ Add additional WLAN Access Points if necessary.

A.8 What are the Open System and Shared Key authentications?

IEEE 802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services: open system and shared key. Under open system authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then returns a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the sending station. Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.

A.9 What is WEP?

An option of IEEE 802.11 function is that offers frame transmission privacy similar to a wired network. The Wired Equivalent Privacy generates secret shared encryption keys that both source and destination stations can use to alert frame bits to avoid disclosure to eavesdroppers.

WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between a mobile station (e.g. a laptop with a wireless Ethernet card) and an access point (i.e. a base station). The secret key is used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted, and an integrity check is used to ensure that packets are not modified in transit.

A.10 What is Fragment Threshold?

The proposed protocol uses the frame fragmentation mechanism defined in IEEE 802.11 to achieve parallel transmissions. A large data frame is fragmented into several fragments each of size equal to fragment threshold. By tuning the fragment threshold 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. However high fragment threshold leads to low fragment overhead. Hence there is a trade-off between spatial re-use and fragment overhead.

Fragment threshold is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented.

If you find that your corrupted packets or asymmetric packet reception (all send packets, for example). You may want to try lowering your fragmentation threshold. This will cause packets to be broken into smaller fragments.

These small fragments, if corrupted, can be resent faster than a larger fragment. Fragmentation increases overhead, so you'll want to keep this value as close to the maximum value as possible.

A.11 What is RTS (Request to Send) Threshold?

The RTS threshold is the packet size at which packet transmission is governed by the RTS/CTS transaction. The IEEE 802.11-1997 standard allows for short packets to be transmitted without RTS/CTS transactions. Each station can have a different RTS threshold. RTS/CTS is used when the data packet size exceeds the defined RTS threshold. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data.

This setting is useful for networks with many clients. With many clients, and a high network load, there will be many more collisions. By lowering the RTS threshold, there may be fewer collisions, and performance should improve. Basically, with a faster RTS threshold, the system can recover from problems faster. RTS packets consume valuable bandwidth, however, so setting this value too low will limit performance.

A.12 What is Beacon Interval?

In addition to data frames that carry information from higher layers, 802.11 include management and control frames that support data transfer. The beacon frame, which is a type of management frame, provides the "heartbeat" of a wireless LAN, enabling stations to establish and maintain communications in an orderly fashion.

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).

A.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 802.11 devices support a long preamble. The short preamble is designed to improve efficiency (for example, for VoIP systems). The difference between the two is in the Synchronization field. The long preamble is 128 bits, and the short is 56 bits.

A.14 What is SSID Broadcast?

Broadcast of SSID is done in access points by the beacon. This announces your access point (including various bits of information about it) to the wireless world around it. By disabling that feature, the SSID configured in the client must match the SSID of the access point.

Some wireless devices don't work properly if SSID isn't broadcast (for example the D-link DWL-120 USB 802.11b adapter). Generally if your client hardware supports operation with SSID disabled, it's not a bad idea to run that way to enhance network security. However it's no replacement for WEP, MAC filtering or other protections.

A.15 What is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)?

Wi-Fi's original security mechanism, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), has been viewed as insufficient for securing confidential business communications. A longer-term solution, the IEEE 802.11i standard, is under development. However, since the IEEE 802.11i standard is not expected to be published until the end of 2003, several members of the WI-Fi Alliance teamed up with members of the IEEE 802.11i task group to develop a significant near-term enhancement to Wi-Fi security. Together, this team developed Wi-Fi Protected Access.

To upgrade a WLAN network to support WPA, Access Points will require a WPA software upgrade. Clients will require a software upgrade for the network interface card, and possibly a software update for the operating system. For enterprise networks, an authentication server, typically one that supports RADIUS and the selected EAP authentication protocol, will be added to the network.

A.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.

A.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). The standard encapsulates and leverages much of EAP, which was defined for dial-up authentication with Point-to-Point Protocol in RFC 2284.

Beyond encapsulating EAP packets, the 802.1x standard also defines EAPOL messages that convey the shared key information critical for wireless security.

A.18 What is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)?

The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.

A.19 What is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)?

Security issues are a major concern for wireless LANs, AES is the U.S. government's next-generation cryptography algorithm, which will replace DES and 3DES.

A.20 What is Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP)?

The IEEE 802.11f Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) supports Access Point Vendor interoperability, enabling roaming of 802.11 Stations within IP subnet.

IAPP defines messages and data to be exchanged between Access Points and between the IAPP and high layer management entities to support roaming. The IAPP protocol uses TCP for inter-Access Point communication and UDP for RADIUS request/response exchanges. It also uses Layer 2 frames to update the forwarding tables of Layer 2 devices.

A.21 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 WDS or repeater service.

A.22 What is Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)?

UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control points. The ultimate goal is to allow data communication among all UPnP devices regardless of media, operating system, programming language, and wired/wireless connection.

A.23 What is Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size?

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) indicates the network stack of any packet is larger than this value will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will be accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer's MRU.

A.24 What is Clone MAC Address?

Clone MAC address is designed for your special application that request the clients to register to a server machine with one identified MAC address. Since that all the clients will communicate outside world through the WLAN Broadband Router, so have the cloned MAC address set on the WLAN Broadband Router will solve the issue.

A.25 What is DDNS?

DDNS is the abbreviation of Dynamic Domain Name Server. It is designed for user owned the DNS server with dynamic WAN IP address.

A.26 What is NTP Client?

NTP client is designed for fetching the current timestamp from internet via Network Time protocol. User can specify time zone, NTP server IP address.

A.27 What is VPN?

VPN is the abbreviation of Virtual Private Network. It is designed for creating point-to point private link via shared or public network.

A.28 What is IPSEC?

IPSEC is the abbreviation of IP Security. It is used to transferring data securely under VPN.

A.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. All frames are relayed between stations by the access point. This local relay function effectively doubles the range of the IBSS.

A.30 What is WMM?

WMM is based on a subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. WMM adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their performance when multiple concurring applications, each with different latency and throughput requirements, compete for network resources. By using WMM, end-user satisfaction is maintained in a wider variety of environments and traffic conditions. WMM makes it possible for home network users and enterprise network managers to decide which data streams are most important and assign them a higher traffic priority.

A.31 What is WLAN ACK TIMEOUT?

ACK frame has to receive ACK timeout frame. If remote does not receive in specified period, it will be retransmitted.

A.32 What is Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS)?

MCS is Wireless link data rate for 802.11n. The throughput/range performance of an AP will depend on its implementation of coding schemes. MCS includes variables such as the number of spatial streams, modulation, and the data rate on each stream. Radios establishing and maintaining a link must automatically negotiate the optimum MCS based on channel conditions and then continuously adjust the selection of MCS as conditions change due to interference, motion, fading, and other events.

A.33 What is Frame Aggregation?

Every 802.11 packet, no matter how small, has a fixed amount of overhead associated with it. Frame Aggregation combines multiple smaller packets together to form one larger packet. The larger packet can be sent without the overhead of the individual packets. This technique helps improve the efficiency of the 802.11n radio allowing more end user data to be sent in a given time.

A.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 specifies two guard intervals: 400ns (short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns GI is optional for transmit and receive. The purpose of a guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays, echoes, and reflections to which digital data is normally very sensitive.
