The default is A6to. $f there are several A(s coe!isting in the same area, it is advisable that you select a different channel for each A( to operate on, minimizing the interference between neighboring A(s. @or e!ample, if 4 AmericanB standard A(s coe!ist in one area, you can set their channels respectively to ', = and '' to avoid mutual interference. SS&# Service set identifier CSS$6D is used to identify a particular 9>/.'' wireless LA-. $t is the name of a specific wireless network. To let your wireless network adapter roam among different A(s, you must set all A(sG SS$6 to the same name. 'A;'A( The (A protocol implements the maMority of the $+++ 9>/.''i standard. $t enhances data encryption through the Temporal )ey $ntegrity (rotocol CT)$(D which is a '/9Bbit perBpacket key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. (A also includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being hampered with. ,nly authorized network users can access the wireless network. The later (A/ protocol features compliance with the full $+++ 9>/.''i standard and uses Advanced +ncryption Standard CA+SD in addition to T)$( encryption protocol to guarantee better security than that provided by +( or (A. Currently, (A is supported by indows K( S('. &EEE 2C(."3 A6thenti7ation $+++ 9>/.'K Authentication is an $+++ Standard for portBbased -etwork Access Control C(-ACD. $t is part of the $+++ 9>/.' group of networking protocols. $t provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LA- or LA-.$+++ 9>/.'K defines the 76 300M 11N Wireless Broadband Router encapsulation of +A( over LA- or +A(,L. 9>/.'K authentication involves three parties% a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. The supplicant is a client device Csuch as a laptopD that wishes to attach to the LA-&LA- B though the term JsupplicantJ is also used interchangeably to refer to the software running on the client that provides credentials to the authenticator. The authenticator is a network device, such as an +thernet switch or wireless access point# and the authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the 1A6$"S and +A( protocols. The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The supplicant Ci.e. client deviceD is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the network until the supplicantGs identity has been validated and authorized. ith 9>/.'K portBbased authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user name & password or digital certificate, to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. $f the authentication server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant Cclient deviceD is allowed to access resources located on the protected side of the network. OE 3he (ointBtoB(oint (rotocol over +thernet C(((o+D is a network protocol for encapsulating ((( frames inside +thernet frames. $ntegrated ((( protocol implements authentication, encryption, and compression functions that traditional +thernet cannot provide and can also be used in the cable modem and digital subscriber line C6SLD and +thernet that provide access service to the users. +ssentially, it is a protocol that allows to establish a pointBtoBpoint tunnel between two +thernet interfaces within an +thernet broadcast domain. #NS The 6omain -ame System C6-SD is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the $nternet or a private network. $t associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. A 6omain -ame Service resolves Fueries for these names into $( addresses for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. An oftenBused analogy to e!plain the 6omain -ame System is that it 77 300M 11N Wireless Broadband Router serves as the phone book for the $nternet by translating humanB friendly computer hostnames into $( addresses. '#S A wireless distribution system C6SD is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an $+++ 9>/.'' network. $t allows a wireless network to be e!panded using multiple access points without the traditional reFuirement for a wired backbone to link them. All base stations in a wireless distribution system must be configured to use the same radio channel, method of encryption Cnone, +(, or (AD and the same encryption keys. They may be configured to different service set identifiers. 6S also reFuires every base station to be configured to forward to others in the system. 6S may also be considered a repeater mode because it appears to bridge and accept wireless clients at the same time Cunlike traditional bridgingD.6S may be incompatible between different products Ceven occasionally from the same vendorD since it is not certified by the iB@i Alliance. 6S may provide two modes of wireless A(BtoBA( connectivity% ireless bridging, in which 6S A(s communicate only with each other and donJt allow wireless clients or stations CSTAD to access them. ireless repeating, in which A(s communicate with each other and with wireless STAs. #4D $n computer security, a 67A Csometimes referred to as a perimeter networkingD is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and e!poses an organizationJs e!ternalBfacing services to a larger untrusted network, usually the $nternet. The purpose of a 67A is to add an additional layer of security to an organizationJs local area network CLA-D# an e!ternal attacker only has access to eFuipment in the 67A, rather than any other part of the network. 3osts in the 67A have limited connectivity to specific hosts in the internal network, although communication with other hosts in the 67A and to the e!ternal network is allowed. This allows hosts in the 67A to provide services to both the internal and e!ternal network, while an intervening firewall controls the traffic between the 67A servers and the internal network clients. Any services such as eb servers, 7ail servers, @T( servers and ;o$( servers, etc. that are being provided to users on the e!ternal network can be placed in the 67A. 78 300M 11N Wireless Broadband Router 79 300M 11N Wireless Broadband Router Appen5i? 3 FA)s This section provides solutions to problems that may occur during installation and operation of the device. 1ead the following if you are running into problems. $f your problem is not covered here, please feel free to go to www.tendacn.com to find a solution or email your problems to% s"''o#t4tenda.co5.cn or s"''o#t624tenda.co5.cn. e will be more than happy to help you out as soon as possible.
