5    BChapter 2    Preparing Your Network   In this chapter, you’ll learn what should be done first before configuring your SkyZhone Repeater   before you can configure your SkyZhone Repeater, you need to set up all the computers   on your network for TCP/IP networking. You also need to know certain information from your ISP.   Configuring Windows for IP Networking  You need to configure each computer in your network for TCP/IP networking. If you plan to use  the  DHCP  feature  (recommended),  you  should  configure  each  computer  to  receive  an  IP address automatically. See the procedure below for instructions.  If you don’t plan to use DHCP, you’ll need to manually assign an IP address to each computer. Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Note   Clicking the Re5tore Default5 button restores the settings saved in the flash (Please see Save to Flash  in  Firmware   page).  The SkyZhone Repeater will  return  to  factory default settings if Save to Fla5h has not been executed before.
12        LAN  The LAN screen allows you to configure the LAN interface of the SkyZhone Repeater       1. IP Addre55: The IP Address of the LAN interface.  2. Subnet Ma5k: The subnet mask of the LAN interface.  3. Default Gateway: The default gateway of the LAN interface.  4. DHCP Server: Select to enable/disable DHCP server functionality of the LAN. If you have already a DHCP Server in your network, or you don’t want a DHCP Server, then please select the Di5abled radio button.
13        Note   If you change the LAN IP Address with the DHCP server running, you'll need to restart your client machines. If you change the LAN IP Address without the DHCP server running, you’ll need to manually reconfigure your clients’ IP addresses.    5. DHCP Starting/Ending IP Addre55: Enter the IP pool for the DHCP server. The address you specify will be the first/last IP address that can be assigned.   Example   If you choose 192.168.1.51 as the starting address and 192.168.1.100 as the ending address, the DHCP server will assign addresses to network clients that are between 192.168.1.51 and 192.168.1.100.  6. DHCP Lea5e Time: Enter the valid time (in seconds) of the DHCP leases. The default value is 86400, which equals to one day.  7. Active DHCP Lea5e: List all the DCHP lease related information, including DHCP client’s MAC address, obtained IP address and expiration time.  8. Spanning Tree Protocol: Select to enable/disable the use of the Ethernet 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate bridging loops across the LAN interfaces.
14        WAN  The WWAN screen allows you to configure the Wireless WAN interface of the SkyZhone Repeater Two types of the WAN protocols are supported: Static and DHCP. (The Wireless WAN interface only takes effect when you turn on the URE mode in the Wireless page.)          1. Connection: Select the specified WAN connection to use. Before you can do this, at least one WAN connection must be configured first. Click the New button to create additional  WAN  connections.  To  delete  a  WAN  connection,  select  the  specified  WAN connection and then click the Delete button.  2. De5cription: Enter the description of the specified WAN connection.  3. Protocol: Select the desired WAN protocol or disable the WAN interface.  4. Primary: Only primary WAN connection is active. Other WAN connections will be disabled.  DHCP Select DHCP from the Protocol list. The WAN interface will obtain all the necessary information, such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, from the DHCP server located in the network.  Static You need to enter all the data manually to make your SkyZhone Repeater work properly.
15         1. Ho5t Name: Some ISPs require that a host name be provided when requesting an IP  address through DHCP Server. You may have  to check with your  ISP to see if you’re broadband Internet  service  has  been  configured with a  host  name. In most case, leaving the field blank will work.  2. Domain Name: Set the domain name to be provided to LAN clients who request an IP address through DHCP Server. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been configured with a domain name. In most case, leaving the field blank will work.  3. MAC Addre55: Show the WAN MAC address.   Warning   Please don’t change the default WAN MAC Address unless your ISP request you to do this action.  4. IP Addre55: Set the IP address of the WAN interface.  5. Subnet Ma5k: Set the IP mask of the WAN interface.  6. Default Gateway: Set the IP address of the default gateway on the WAN.  7. DNS Server5: The DNS (Domain Name System) is how the Internet translates domain  or website  names  into  Internet  address  or  URLs.  Your  ISP  will  provide  you  with  at least one DNS Server IP address. If you wish to use another one, type that IP address in one of these fields. You can type up to three DNS Server IP address here. The SkyZhone Repeater will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
16       8. WINS Server5: The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS Server, enter that server’s IP address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
17        Status  The Status screen is a read-only display that gives you information about your SkyZhone Repeater. The data displayed may change depending on your current configuration.  The Status screen is shown in the figure below.    The displayed data may include:  Sy5tem up Time: Showing the duration since the SkyZhone Repeater last power up.  Signal level: Showing the AP signal level which our Wireless WAN connects to. And the “Real-time Show” button will open a popup window to update the signal level every 3 seconds.   Connection Log: Showing a log of recent connection attempted.
18        Filters  Use the Filters screen to create and apply filters that can selectively allow traffic to pass in and out of your network.   Warning   Overwriting the factory default filters may result in your network clients not being able to access the Internet. When you define new filters, we recommend that you choose an empty row.    The Filters screen is shown in the figure below.       1. LAN MAC Filter Mode: Select whether clients with the specified MAC address are allowed or denied access to the SkyZhone Repeater.  2. LAN MAC Filter5:   Filter packets from LAN machines with the specified MAC addresses.         Enter the MAC address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.  After configuring filter mode and filtered MAC addresses, you must configure the conditions in the table below.    1. LAN Client Filter5: Filter packets from IP address destined to certain port ranges during the specified time.
19       Routing  Routing is the act of moving information across an Internet from a source to a destination. Along the way, at least one intermediate node typically is encountered. Routing is often contrasted with bridging, which might seem to accomplish precisely the same thing to the casual observer. The primary  difference between these two are bridging occurs at Layer 2 (the link layer) of the OSI reference model, whereas routing occurs at Layer 3 (the network layer). This distinction provides routing and bridging with different information to use in the process of moving information from source to destination,  so these two functions accomplish their tasks in different ways. The Routing screen is shown in the figure below.  Port Forwards Port forward, also called Virtual Server, forwards packets destined to ports in the first range to the LAN machine with the specified IP address. You may optionally specify a second range. (The range should not overlap the first range.)    Application Specific Port Forwards The function is used for special applications whose outbound ports differ from the inbound ports. For  this  feature,  the  SkyZhone Repeater will  watch  outbound  data  for  specific  port  numbers. The  SkyZhone  Repeater  will  remember  the  IP  address  of  the  computer  that  sends  a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the SkyZhone Repeater, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules    DMZ IP Address The DMZ feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. DMZ forwards all the ports at the same
20       time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ  hosting opens all the ports of one computer,  exposing the computer so the Internet can see it.
21        Wireless  The 2018R CPE uses a single physical wireless 802.11 interface to provide the virtual interfaces which operate as both client station (STA) and access point (AP) simultaneously. The 2018R CPE is an AP with its own basic service set (BSS) which is called Down5tream BSS in this document. Also, it acts as a STA to another AP called Up5tream BSS. Depending on the SkyZhone Repeater  configuration,  the  2018R  CPE  URE  feature  can  be  used  as  two  main  sub-features: Travel SkyZhone  Repeater and SkyZhone  Repeater.  In  both  cases,  Upstream  BSS  and Downstream BSS must use the same channel.  Travel SkyZhone Repeater                                            To enable the Travel SkyZhone Repeater, the SkyZhone Repeater Mode  in Ba5ic page must be set to SkyZhone Repeater. The 2018R CPE will do NAT between Upstream BSS and Downstream BSS.
22       SkyZhone Repeater                                            To enable the SkyZhone Repeater, the SkyZhone Repeater Mode in Ba5ic page must be set to Acce55 Point. The 2018R CPE will do layer 2 bridging between the Upstream BSS and Downstream BSS. In this case, both BSS remain in the same subnet. This is useful when extending range is needed but the existing AP is not WDS-capable device.  Other Configurations:
23       Basic Settings:      1. Wirele55 Interface: Shows the wireless interface SSID and MAC address.  2. Attached Wirele55 Network:   All available APs will be displayed here.   Click the Refresh to refresh the list.  3. Network Name (SSID): When  URE  mode  is  OFF, the Local SSID  field  is the downstream  AP’s  SSID  and  the  Gue5t  SSID field  allows  you  to  create  a  guest  network rather  than  the  original  local  network.  (After  creating  the  guest  network,  you  can configure this network in the LAN page. Usually, we may not use the guest network,  and  leave this  field  as  blank.)  In  this  mode,  the  WL5041  will  act  as  a  pure  AP.  The  SSID must  be  identical  for  all  devices  in  the  wireless  network.  It  is  case- sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any keyboard character.    When the URE mode is ON, the Network Name is like the uper picture.  The remote AP’s SSID  must  be  entered  in  the Remote SSID  field  (Upstream  AP)  and  put  your downstream AP’s SSID in the Local SSID field.
24       4. Extended MSSID Interoperability feature: This is a feature which can reduce the interoperability problem when multiple SSID are used.  5. Network Type: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate  with,  they  will  detect  the  SSID  broadcast  by  the  SkyZhone Repeater.  To broadcast  the  SkyZhone Repeater’s  SSID,  keep the  default  value Open.   If  you  do not want to broadcast  the SkyZhone Repeater’s SSID, then select Closed.  6. AP I5olation: This is used to isolate wireless clients who connect to different APs.  7. Country: Restrict the channel set based on country requirements.     Advanced Settings:   1. Interface: Select to enable/disable the wireless interface.  2. Band: Select the wireless radio band to use.  3. Control Channel:  Select  t he  appropriate  channel  f ro m  the  l i s t   p r o v i d e d   to  correspond  with  your  network  settings;  or  select Auto  to  allow  AP to  decide.  All devices in your wireless network must use  the same  channel in order to  function correctly.  4. 54g Mode:  Select  the  mode to 54g Auto for  the widest  compatibility.  Select  the mode   to 54g Performance for the fastest performance among 54g certified equipment. Set the mode to 54g LRS if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
25       5. 54g protection:   In Auto mode the SkyZhone Repeater will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.  6. Rate: Select the transmitting rate in 11b/g network. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You  can  select from  one  transmission  speed,  or  keep  the  default setting, Auto, to have the SkyZhone Repeater automatically use the fastest possible data rate.  7. Ba5ic Rate Set: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support.  8. Multica5t Rate: Select the transmitting rate for the multicast/broadcast packets.  9. Fragmentation Thre5hold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is 256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation. Setting the Fragmentation too low may result in poor  network  performance.  Only  minor  modifications  of  this  value  are recommended.  10.   RTS Thre5hold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the  RTS/CTS  mechanism  will  not  be  enabled.  The  SkyZhone  Repeater  sends Request  to  Send (RTS)  frames  to  a  particular  receiving  station  and  negotiates  the sending  of  a  data  frame.  After  receiving  an  RTS,  the  wireless  station  responds with a  Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.  11.   DTIM Interval: The default value is 3. This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds, indicates the interval of the  Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A  DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the SkyZhone Repeater has buffered broadcast or  multicast  for  associated  clients,  it  sends  the  next  DTIM  with  a  DTIM  Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast message.  12.   Beacon Interval:    The default value is 100.   Enter a value between 1 and 65535       milliseconds The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the SkyZhone Repeater to synchronize the wireless network.  13.   Preamble Type: Set  whether  short  or  long  preambles  are  used. Short  preambles improve throughput but all clients in the wireless network must support this capability if selected.  14.   Max A55ociation5 Limit: Enter the client number which can associate to this AP.  15.   WME Support: Select to enable/disable WME.
26       16.   No-Acknowledgment: Select off to save bandwidth; or select on to send out acknowledgment.  17.   APSD: Select to enable/disable APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery).     URE Settings:  1. Mode: Select Access Point to operate as a normal AP.  2. URE Mode: Select on to operate as the Travel SkyZhone Repeater or SkyZhone Repeater  WDS Settings:  1. Bridge5: Enter th e p ee r  ac ce ss  p o i n t  MA C  a dd r e sse s  t o  f o r m  th e  w i r e l e s s  distribution system (WDS).  2. Bridge  Re5triction:  Select  Di5abled  to  disable  wireless  bridge  restriction.    Any wireless  bridge (including the  ones  listed in Bridge5) will  be  granted  access.  Select Enabled to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only  those bridges listed in Bridge5 will be granted access.  3. Bridge Link Detection Interval: Sets the Wireless bridge link detection interval in seconds. Leave blank or set to zero to disable the detection.  MAC Restriction The MAC Re5triction is used to control wireless client devices access based on their MAC addresses. You can choose to allow or deny the specific MAC addresses.
27         1. MAC Re5trict Mode: Select the clients with the specified MAC address are allowed or denied wireless access.  2. MAC Addre55e5: To allow  or denies wireless  access for clients with the specified MAC addresses. Leave all entries blank to allow access for any client     Authentication Status:      All STAs currently authenticated to this AP will be displayed here including the remote AP (if URE is enabled and the connection is on).
28       Security  The   SkyZhone  Repeater’s  wireless  security  options  include  WEP,  802.1x,  WPA,  WPA-PSK (Pre- Shared Key),  WPA2,  WPA2-PSK.   But  only  WEP,  WPA-PSK  and  WPA2-PSK  are  available when URE is enabled.   Note   You can use different  security methods on the Downstream and Upstream BSS. But you must configure their settings separately (select specified BSS from the Wirele55 Interface and then configure its settings below).
29       WEP WEP, short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a protocol for wireless LANs or local area networks. This WEP is defined in the 802.11 Standard. WEP is designed so security levels are maintained at the same level as the wired LAN. WEP's aim is to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves. WEP protects data as it's transmitted from one end point to another. WEP is used at the two lowest layers, the data link and physical layer. WEP is designed to make up for the inherent security in wireless transmission as compared to wired transmission.  Use the following steps to configure WEP:  1. Select Network Authentication type from the 802.11 Authentication drop-down list. (Shared is better than open)  2. Select Enabled from the WEP Encryption drop-down list.  3. Specify the encryption key from the Current Network Key drop-down list.  4. Enter the key  into  the Network Key field 1~4. (Enter 5  ASCII characters or  10 Hexadecimal digits for a 64-bit key. Enter 13 ASCII characters  or 26 Hexadecimal digits for a 64-bit key.)  5. Click the Apply button to apply settings.  802.1X 802.1X is the IEEE standard for access control for wireless and wired LANs, 802.1X provides a means of authenticating and authorizing devices to attach to a LAN port. This standard defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), which uses a central authentication server to authenticate each user on the network. A RADIUS server is required for authentication.  Use the following steps to configure 802.1X:  1. Select Network Authentication type from the 802.11 Authentication drop-down list. (Shared is better than open)  2. Select Enabled from the 802.1X Authentication drop-down list.  3. Enter your RADIUS 5erver IP address, Port and Key.  4. Configure WEP Encryption (see above for detail).  5. Click the Apply button to apply settings.  WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in WEP, and to provide user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP. To take full advantage of WPA, a RADIUS server is needed in your network to authenticate users. For most home or SOHO users, WPA-PSK is the easiest way to implement and provides adequate protection for your wireless network.
30       Use the following steps to configure WPA/WPA2:  1. Select open from the 802.11 Authentication drop-down list.  2. Select Enabled from the WPA/WPA2 drop-down list.  3. Select encryption method from the WPA Encryption drop-down list. Select TKIP for WPA; select AES or TKIP+AES for WPA2.  4. Enter your RADIUS 5erver IP address, Port and Key.  5. Click the Apply button to apply settings.  WPA/WPA2-PSK Use the following steps to configure WPA/WPA2:  1. Select open from the 802.11 Authentication drop-down list.  2.
