Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Authentication Normally, the CPE routers must prove their authenticity with a base station before participating in the star network. One way to do this is to set a common pass on both the CPE router and on the base station. Use this page (Authentication Settings) to set a pass phrase for a CPE router. You are only required to do this once, unless the pass phrase on the base station changes.
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide • Version 3.03 station and on a CPE. (Pass Phrases have a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 32 characters.) Confirm: Enter the pass phrase again to ensure it is correct. Make sure you keep the pass phrase in a safe place.

Chapter 9 Basics of IP Addressing Main sections in this chapter: • What is an IP address?, page 9-2 • Internet Address Classes, page 9-2 • How does a network administrator assign an IP address?, page 9-7 • What is DHCP?, page 9-8 • What is NAT?, page 9-9 • NAPT, page 9-10 • Diagram of Outgoing NAT, page 9-11 • Diagram of Incoming NAT, page 9-12 • Basics of Routing, page 9-13
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Basics of IP Addressing IP Addressing is important because it tells the network how to locate the computers or network equipment connected to it. IP addresses are given so each computer or equipment on the network contains a unique address. In addition, network addresses and node addresses, depending on the Class (A, B, C, etc.), contain their own unique address as well.
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 This definition is not random; it is based on the fact that routers by reading just the first three octets of the address field designate which network class it belongs to. This selection simplifies the way routers handle the messages (packets) and speed up the forwarding process.
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide • • • Maximum of 28 or 254 node addresses Class D • Range is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 • Used for multicast packets (i.e., host sends out router discovery packets to learn all of the routers on the network) Class E • Range is 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 • Reserved for future use Note: Class D & E should NOT be assigned to net assignment of IP addresses. In addition, the first octet, 127, is reserved.
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Subnetting a Network The increasing number of hosts and networks make impractical address blocks that are not smaller than 255. In order keep the IP address small, so routers can manage them without changing the whole protocol, a smaller network definition is created. This is called a subnet.
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide If Router D is reading IP Addresses 192.0.2.1 (let's call this IP Address 1) and 192.0.2.64 (let's call this IP Address 2) on this Class C network, it would send IP Address 1 to Subnet A and IP Address 2 to Subnet B. The remaining nodes in each subnet (A through D) on this network can contain up to 254 pieces of network equipment (computers, printers, fax machines, bridges or routers, etc.).
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 means that Blocks A, B, C, and D are all part of Long Street, which is also known as the network in this example. The mailman would organize the letters (or IP addresses for network equipment) by creating four piles (one for each block, or subnet). As soon as the mailman picks up pile A in his hand, he knows which block to turn on. This same reasoning applies to piles B, C, and D as well.
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide What is DHCP? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows network administrators to assign dynamic IP addresses for the period of time needed to connect to the Internet. Think of DHCP as leasing an apartment. A prospective tenant may not need to live in an apartment for two years, maybe just a year. Therefore, the tenant will only sign a oneyear lease agreement.
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Figure of DHCP Addressing Figure 9-2: DHCP client and server 1 The client asks DHCP server for IP address and configuration if needed. 2 The DHCP server assigns an available IP address to client. 3 The client takes IP address from DHCP server and requests any additional configuration needed. 4 DHCP server confirms IP address and configuration.
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide IP addresses. This enables companies to communicate with other devices on the Internet with a single global IP address (or more than one IP address). For example, a company can provide its clients with one IP address, allowing access to the company's firewall only. This IP address is not a "real" address on the company's internal network, but it is successfully translated to the correct IP location through NAT (i.e., NAT router).

SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Basics of Routing A router connects two or more networks together and decides which direction it should send each packet. The router is located at each gateway (where one network meets another). A router operates at the Network Layer of the OSI model. This means a router sends information based on the packet's IP address instead of the Ethernet address (as in bridging).

For computers on Ethernet LANs, this is the same number as its Ethernet address.
SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Multi-path fading The condition in which the “true” signal from an antenna reflects off an object (usually the ground) and, as a result, the reflected signal causes destructive interference at the receiving antenna. Multi-path fading affects linearly polarized signals more than circularly polarized signals.

Sidelobe These are 20 dB lower than the main lobe, and it is critical from a performance standpoint that antennas are aligned with respect to the main lobe. Failure to do so may cause the radio to be interfered with or the radio may interfere with other systems.
Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Symbol Threshold After a signal has been acquired, the acquisition algorithm in the spread-spectrum chip continues to run a cross-correlation between the expected PN sequence and the received signal, but now uses the Symbol Threshold for comparison. If the result of the cross-correlation drops below the Symbol Threshold, the signal is considered to have been lost, and the algorithm begins trying to acquire the signal again.
