Chapter 3: Network Planning The Multimedia Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs. This chapter explains some of the basic features of the Multimedia Router and shows some network topology examples in which the device is implemented.
3 Network Planning The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address.
3 Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points. The Multimedia Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units. A single WDS bridge link can be specified for the WLAN1 interface. One end of a link must be configured as the “WDS Parent” and the other as the “WDS Child.” Note: The network domain of WDS child has to be the same as WDS parent.

All units are configured as Bridge Mode When both units are set to Gateway Mode, be sure to check these settings: • Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address. • Be sure that only one unit has Internet access on its WAN port. • Be sure the DHCP server is enabled only on one unit.
5 System Configuration capability of the VAP functioning as an AP. In this mode, traffic is not forwarded to the Ethernet port from the radio interface. In Repeater mode the Multimedia Router transmits a beacon. Note: WDS settings may only be configured for WLAN1, See “Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)” on page 5-33. WLAN2 only operates as an access point service. Note: Configuring WLAN1 to operate in WDS “Bridge” mode automatically disables WLAN2. HT Physical Mode Settings Figure 5-15.
5 Wireless Settings Mbps and 74 Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance for slower 802.11b devices. (Default: 20/40MHz) • Guard Interval – The guard interval between symbols helps receivers overcome the effects of multipath delays. When you add a guard time, the back portion of useful signal time is copied and appended to the front. (Default: Auto) • MCS – The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels.
5 System Configuration Figure 5-17. Advanced Wireless Settings • BG Protection – Enables a backward compatible protection system for 802.11b clients. There are three modes. (Default: Auto): - Auto: The Multimedia Router enables its protection mechanism for 802.11b clients when they are detected in the network. When 802.11b clients are not detected, the protection mechanism is disabled. - On: Forces the unit to always use protection for 802.11b clients, whether they are detected in the network or not.
5 Wireless Settings default value of 2 indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames.
5 System Configuration Configuring Wi-Fi Multimedia Wireless networks offer an equal opportunity for all devices to transmit data from any type of application. Although this is acceptable for most applications, multimedia applications (with audio and video) are particularly sensitive to the delay and throughput variations that result from this equal opportunity wireless access method.
5 Wireless Settings Access Categories – WMM defines four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Table 5-1). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate inter operability with other wired network QoS policies.
5 System Configuration WMM Acknowledge Policy – By default, all wireless data transmissions require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC). Although this increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy. (Default: Acknowledge) WMM BSS Parameters – These parameters apply to the wireless clients.
5 Wireless Settings Security The Multimedia Router supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces referred to as WLAN1 and WLAN2. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own security settings. Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Security”. Figure 5-20. Wireless Security Settings Security Settings — The security settings determine the security mode and enable WEP keys. • Security Mode – Configures the security mode used by clients.
5 System Configuration - Open: Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect the Multimedia Router without verifying its identity. In this mode the default encryption type is "None". - Shared: The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients before attempting authentication.
Wireless Settings 5 - WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: The WPA or WPA2 mode uses a common password phrase, called a Pre-Shared Key, that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network. Specify a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers. The WPA Preshared Key can be input as ASCII string (8-63 characters) or Hexadecimal format (length is 64). All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with the VAP interface.

When one device, the WPS enrollee, sends a PIN code to the Multimedia Router, it becomes the WPS registrar.
5 System Configuration MAC/IP/Port Filtering MAC/IP/Port filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. IP/Port filtering allows the unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic through its MAC addresses, IP addresses and ports. The Multimedia Router allows you define a sequential list of permit or deny filtering rules (up to 32). This device tests ingress packets against the filter rules one by one.
