Chapter 2 Quick Start
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide System Description The SPEEDLAN brouters are high speed, long range wireless LAN brouters that provide connectivity to remote Ethernet networks. For single point-to-point links, a SPEEDLAN CPE can be used in each building to create a wireless communication line. For multipoint links, a SPEEDLAN acts as the central base station, which controls the communication between multiple SPEEDLAN brouters acting as CPE.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • *Wire zip ties • *Antenna (specialized upon request) *Amplifier (specialized upon request) * Note: Items can be purchased separately or as part of an Installation Kit. • Installation Steps Installation instructions are specific to customers who purchased Installation Kits from Wave Wireless. To view a diagram of the installation listed below, see Installation Diagram, page 2-7.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide b) Allow for as much space between the wall brackets as possible while still maintaining the antenna height necessary. For extended poles, additional wall brackets may be necessary. c) Assemble the antenna and mount it to the pole using the included U-bolt hardware. On larger dish-type antennas, align the grid on the dish to run parallel with the grid on the tip of the antenna horn. Preferably, the grid should be horizontal (or parallel) to the ground.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Step 4. Ground the Antenna a) Mount the lightning arrestor to a solid surface. b) Run the grounding wire from the lightning arrestor to a proper ground source such as a grounding rod or roof ground wire. c) Seal the entire lightning arrestor with the black waterproof sealant insulation putty that comes in the installation kit. Note: The lightning arrestor is NOT waterproof. Step 5.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Step 8. Check Functionality Using the LED Indicators. When the installation is complete, activate the SPEEDLAN brouter. The radio will automatically transmit a “hello” packet to the other brouter(s) to initiate communication. When a remote brouter is located, the brouters will synchronize themselves with each other once communication is established. Then, the brouters will start forwarding data packets to the wireless LAN that is connected to them.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Installation Diagram The diagram below displays where the main components are located. All outdoor cable connections and lightning arrestors must be insulated with waterproof electrical putty.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Polarizations on a Grid Antenna The antenna must be aimed so that when you look out from the center of the antenna it is pointing toward the receiving antenna on the other building. The radio signal radiates from the end of the antenna like a wide-beamed flashlight.

Wave Wireless highly recommends that you leave it enabled. Transport Methods The industry compatible method of transmitting and receiving data over wireless networks will cause data packets to frequently be lost. This is due to the fact that a wireless network does not have the ability to detect collisions like a wired Ethernet network.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • Campus Cell PRC Mode (No Base Station/Brouter) This method of transportation is used only for point-to-point links. If any of the brouters are unable to see each other, a base station must be used to repeat traffic from one brouter to next brouter in line. This point-to-point mode utilizes Campus Cell PRC packet bundling, which reduces the amount of overhead caused by sending smaller individual packets across the wireless network.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Advanced Button - 11 Mb RF Interface Setup The Advanced button is located to the left of the Frequency button. Clicking this button will open a new dialog box that allows you to change the Network ID and rate of the interface. • Network ID The Network ID is a security setting that allows the brouter to reject packets from other wireless brouters in the area.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Warning: • Standard This setting limits the card by providing 2 Mbps of bandwidth. The receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -89 dBm. • Low This setting limits the card by providing 1 Mbps of bandwidth.

Chapter 6 Bridging Setup
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Bridge Setup Each SPEEDLAN brouter contains an IEEE 802.3 MAC-layer bridging engine. The bridge can be configured to filter or pass any 802.3 frame type protocols, including Novell IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, etc. The brouter can also be configured to filter packets by their destination and origin. This is done using the unique MAC (Media Access Control) addresses that all network interface devices have assigned to them at the factory.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Protocol Filtering By default, the brouter is configured to pass all network protocols. When you click Edit, you will be presented with a list of protocols which you can select for filtering. After selecting the protocols, highlight them on this dialog box. Then, click Bridge or Deny to determine how each protocol will be treated. The radio buttons in the Protocol Filtering box determine how unselected protocols are treated.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide If the protocol you want to filter is not presented here, click Custom, Add and enter the hex ID for that protocol. MAC Filtering By default, the brouter is configured to pass all traffic between all MAC-Address pairs. To add an address pair into the filter, click Add on the MAC Filtering box. First, enter the Remote Address, which will be the MAC Address that resides on the remote side of the brouter.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Advanced Features Button Clicking Advanced displays this dialog box. Select the appropriate check box for your network. The check boxes are described below: Bridging Setup • Pass Bad Ethernet Source The standard Ethernet bridges we have tested will pass Ethernet packets with a broadcast or multicast address as their source (i.e., packets with their first bit set to 1). The Ethernet specification for Transparent (i.e.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide 6-6 • Enable Learned-Table Lockdown A standard bridge watches the source address of each packet it receives on any of its interfaces. As new addresses are seen, entries are added to the learned table that contains each source address and the interface number that address was received on. If a source address is later seen on a different interface, the bridge will immediately change the interface number in the learned-table entry.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Storm Thresholds Button Click Storm Thresholds to keep broadcast and multicast storms from spreading throughout the network. Network storms are common and can cause bridges, routers (brouters), workstations, servers, and PCs to slow down or crash. Storms occur if network equipment is configured incorrectly, if network software is not functioning properly, or if poorly designed programs such as network games are used. These settings are disabled by default.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • Interface Threshold This setting determines the maximum number of broadcast or multicast packets that can occur during a one-second period before a storm is declared for the assigned interface. Once it is determined that a storm is occurring, any additional broadcast or multicast packets received on that interface will be denied until the storm is determined to be over.

Chapter 7 Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide If you do not understand the basics of IP addressing, DHCP, or NAT, please read the next section, Part I - Quick Overview of IP Addressing, below. Otherwise, skip to Part II - Setting Up the IP Address, page 7-13. Part I - Quick Overview of IP Addressing IP Addressing is important because it tells the network how to locate the computers or network equipment connected to it.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Internet Address Classes The first octet defines the "class" of the address, which is the only method to tell the size of the network (how big) and where the internet address belongs. There are three main classes: • Class A: 35.0.0.0 • Class B: 128.5.0.0 • Class C: 192.33.33.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide In fact, IP defines five classes: • • • 7-4 Class A addresses use 8 bits (1 octet) for the network portion and 24 bits (3 octets) for the node (or host) section of the address. This provides up to 128 networks with 16.7 million nodes for each network. • First byte is assigned as network address • Remaining bytes used for node addresses • Format: network, node, node, node • In IP address 49.22.102.70, "49" is network address and "22.102.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • • 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. In each network definition, the first node number (i.e.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Default Subnet masks • Class A: 255.0.0.0 • Class B: 255.255.0.0 • Class C: 255.255.255.0 Note: Subnet mask is bolded. What is a Subnet? Subnetting allows you to create multiple networks within one Class A, B, or C network. Each data link (octet) contains its own unique identifier also known as the subnet. Also, each node on the same data link must belong on the same subnet as well.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Diagram of Subnetting a Network Internet Subnet B Subnet A IP Address: 195.172.3.64 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192 IP Address: 195.172.3.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192 Router D Com puter Com puter Com puter Computer Com puter Long Street Router A Router B Subnet D IP Address: 195.172.3.192 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192 Subnet C Com puter IP Address: 195.172.3.128 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Note: If the network is managed by a Simple Network Management Protocol for local or Internet access, each brouter must contain a unique IP Address. This is a benefit of static or dynamic addressing. How does a network administrator assign an IP address? IP addresses are supplied by the network administrator, the ISP, or hosting company. The two types of IP addressing—manual (static) and automatic (dynamic) addressing—are described below.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP, which reduces the agony of assigning static IP addresses and also provides advanced configuration options. Note: The figure on the next page may help you understand how DHCP assigns an IP address. Figure of DHCP Addressing 1 The client asks DHCP server for IP address and configuration if needed.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide What is NAT? Network Address Translation (NAT) is the conversion of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address within another network. One network is designated the inside network and the other is the outside network.

SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • Enable Outgoing Network Address Translation This feature enables a company to map the private networks IP addresses into one or more global public network IP addresses. This means that outsiders will only view the single (or more if designated) IP network address assigned for global viewing on the Internet. For more information, see Outgoing NAT, page 7-20.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide • Offered IP Ending Address This is the end of the block of allowed IP addresses. • Default Router Address This is the subnet mask of the default router. • Default Router Mask This is the router that initially accepts or transfers packet to the directly connected networks or static networks. • Lease Time in Minutes This is the amount of minutes that the computer can use the assigned IP address.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Assigning a Static IP Address Note: Before you begin, confirm that you have properly read the configuration from the SPEEDLAN brouter you want to configure. Then, perform the following tasks: Open the SPEEDLAN Configurator. From the File menu, choose Open Remote Config.... Then, click Scan. The Scan dialog box appears. Select the appropriate brouter and click OK. Click OK again.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Note: For more information, see Subnetting a Network, page 7-5. Once the packet has traveled to the appropriate network, it goes through a masking process. A subnet mask is composed of zeros (0s) and ones (1s). This tells the router which addresses to look under and which ones not to look under. Therefore, subnet masking allows the router to transfer the packet traffic more quickly than a network without a subnet.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Part III - Setting Up NAT This section explains how to setup outgoing and incoming Network Address Translation (NAT).
