Wireless

Click an item on the menu to reveal a submenu.

Follow the instructions to set up the ASUS

Pocket Wireless Router. Tips are displayed when you move your cursor over an item.

Interface

SSID

The SSID is an identification string of up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate one ASUS Wireless

Router AP or Access Point from other manufacturers. The SSID is also referred to as the “ESSID” or

“Extended Service Set ID.” You can use the default SSID and radio channel unless more than one ASUS

Wireless Router or Access Point is deployed in the same area. In that case, you should use a different SSID and radio channel for each ASUS

Wireless Router or Access Point. All ASUS Wireless Routers and ASUS

802.11g/802.11b WLAN client adapters must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam between the ASUS Wireless Routers . By default, the SSID is set to “default”.

Channel

The 802.11g and 802.11b specifications supports up to 14 overlapping channels for radio communication. To minimize interference, configure each ASUS 802.11g AP to be non-overlapping; select Auto from the Channel drop-down list to enable the system to select a clear channel during boot up as your operating channel.

Ensure that ASUS Wireless Routers sharing the same channel (or channels which are close in number) are as far away from each other as possible, based on the results of your site survey of the facility. There is a site survey utility on the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router setup CD.



Wireless (Cont.)

Wireless Mode

This field indicates the 802.11g interface mode. Selecting “Auto” allows

802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to the ASUS Pocket Wireless

Router.

Selecting “54g Only” maximizes performance, but prevents 802.11b

clients from connecting to the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router. If " 54g protecion" is checked, G-Mode protection of 11g traffic is enabled automatically in the presence of 11b traffic.

Authentication Method

This field enables you to set different authentication methods which determine different encryption schemes. The relationship between

Authentication Method, Encryption, Passphrase and WEP Keys is listed in the following table. If all your clients support WPA, using “WPA-PSK” is recommended for better security.

WPA Encryption

When “WPA-PSK” authentication method is used, the newly proposed TKIP

(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption schemes are applied.

TKIP: TKIP uses an encryption algorithm, which is more stringent than the WEP algorithm and also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to perform encryption operations. TKIP verifies the security configuration after the encryption keys are determined.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Selecting “TKIP” in the WPA Encryption, this field is used as a password to begin the encryption process. Note: 8 to 63 characters are required.

The following section explains low-level (64-bit) and high-level (128-bit)

WEP Encryption schemes.

64-bit WEP Encryption

64-bit WEP and 40-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate in a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a

40-bit (10 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key, which is set by the user, and a 24-bit “Initialization Vector” scheme, which is not under user control.

Together these two schemes make a 64-bit (40 + 24) encryption scheme.

Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bit and others refer to this as

64-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 64-bit when referring to this

lower level of encryption.




128-bit WEP Encryption

104-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate on a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a

104-bit (26 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key which is set by the user, and a 24-bit “Initialization Vector”, which is not under user control.

Together these two schemes make a 128-bit (104 + 24) encryption scheme.

Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 104-bit and others refer to this as 128-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 128-bit when referring to this higher level of encryption.

Passphrase

Selecting “WEP-64bits” or “WEP-128bits” in the Encryption field generates four WEP keys automatically. A combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols is required. Alternatively, leave this field blank and type in four

WEP keys manually.

¥

WEP-64bit key: 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)

¥

WEP-128bit key: 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)

Note: The ASUS WLAN family of products uses the same algorithm to generate WEP keys, eliminating the need for users to remember passwords and to maintain compatibility between products. However, using this method to generate WEP keys is not as secure as manual assignment.




WEP Key

You can set a maximum of four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64bits or 128bits in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS Pocket Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients MUST have at least the same default key.

Key Index

The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS

Pocket Wireless Router or wireless mobile client with which you are commun icating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the keys as the default key. If the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP keys, select “key rotation” to maximize security.

Otherwise, choose one key in common as the default key.

Network Rotation Key Interval

This field specifies the time interval (in seconds) after which a WPA group key is changed. Enter ‘0’ (zero) to indicate that a periodic key-change is not required.

Router, this is a simple way to do it but for security reasons, don’t forget to change the SSID to something other than “default”.

Data Rate (Mbps) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate.

Leave on “Auto” to maximize performance versus distance.

Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients must support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when backward compatibility is needed for some older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of

2Mbps.




Fragmentation Threshold (256~2346) – Fragmentation is used to divide

802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.

RTS Threshold (0~2347) – The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When

RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.

DTIM Interval (1~255) – DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a wireless message used to inform clients in Power Saving Mode when the system should wake up to receive broadcast and multicast messages. Type the time interval in which the system will broadcast a DTIM for clients in

Power Saving Mode. The default value (3) is recommended.

Beacon Interval (1~65535) – This field indicates the time interval in milliseconds that a system broadcast packet, or beacon, is sent to synchronize the wireless network. The default value (100 milliseconds) is recommended.

Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance

4. Wireless Performance

This section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the performance of a ASUS Wireless network.

Site Topography

For optimal performance, locate wireless mobile clients and the ASUS

Wireless Routers away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment.

Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Locate the ASUS Wireless Routers in open areas or add the

ASUS Wireless Routers as needed to improve coverage.

Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as the ASUS Pocket

Wireless Router. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router you may notice network performanc degradation.

However, both your microwave and your the ASUS Pocket

Wireless Router will continue to function.

Site Surveys

A site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card) analyzes the installation environment and provides users with recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placement differs for each model.


Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance

Range

Every environment is unique with different obstacles, barriers, materials, etc. and, therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact range that will be achieved without testing. However, has developed some guidelines to estimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in their facility, but there are no hard and fast specifications.

Radio signals may reflect off of some obstacles or be absorbed by others depending on their construction. For example, with two 802.11b radios, you may achieve up to 1000' in open space outdoors where two devices have a line of sight, meaning they see each other with no obstacles. However, the same two units may only achieve up to 300' of range when used indoors.

The IEEE 802.11b specification supports four data rates: 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps,

2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps. Operation at 1 Mbps provides greater range than operation at 11 Mbps. The ASUS Wireless Router will automatically adjust the data rate to maintain a usable radio connection.

Therefore, a client that is close to the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router may operate at 11 Mbps while a client that is on the fringe of coverage may operate at 1 Mbps. As mentioned earlier, you can configure the data rates that the ASUS

Pocket Wireless Router will use. Note that if you limit the range of data rates available to the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router, you may reduce the effective wireless range of the ASUS Wireless products.


Appendix -Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

The ASUS Pocket Wireless Router is designed to be very easy to install and operate.

However, if you experience difficulties, use the information in this chapter to help diagnose and solve problems. If you cannot resolve a problem, contact Technical Support, as listed on the front of this manual.

A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a user enters a domain name into the Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

DSL Modem (Digital Subscriber Line) - A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Encryption - This provides wireless data transmissions with a level of security.

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) - You must have the same ESSID entered into the gateway and each of its wireless clients. The ESSID is a unique identifier for your wireless network.

Ethernet - Ethernet networks are connected by cables and hubs, and move data around. This is a standard for computer networks.


64


Frame-bursting - Refers to burst mode. Burst mode optionally allows a station to transmit a series of frames without relinquishing control of the transmission medium.

Firewall - A firewall determines which information passes in and out of a network. NAT can create a natural firewall by hiding a local network’s IP addresses from the Internet. A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer and possibly damaging or viewing your files.

Gateway - A network point that manages all the data traffic of your network, as well as to the Internet and connects one network to another.

Handshaking - handshaking refers to the signals that are transmitted between communications networks that establish a valid connection between two stations.

IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE sets standards for networking, including Ethernet LANs. IEEE standards ensure interoperability between systems of the same type.

IP Address (Internet Protocol) - An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a unique Internet computer host, allowing messages intended for that computer to be delivered to the correct destination.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) - An ISP is a business that allows individuals or businesses to connect to the Internet. Users log on to the

Internet using an account with an ISP or Internet Service Provider. ISPs can serve IP addresses dynamically, or assign static (fixed) IP addresses to individual computers.

ISP Gateway Address - The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the

Internet router. This address is only required when using a cable or DSL modem.

LAN (Local Area Network) - A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office).

Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address (Media Access Control) - A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.



NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT masks a local network’s group of IP addresses from the external network, allowing a local network of computers to share a single ISP account. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. This will enable access to the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

PC Card - This is an Ethernet card that connects to the PCMCIA slot on your Notebook PC. This enables the computer to communicate with wireless access points.

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) - PPP is a protocol for communication between computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of secure data transmission. PPP using Ethernet to connect to an ISP.

Subnet Mask - A subnet mask is a set of four numbers configured like an

IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - This is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.

WAN (Wide Area Network) - A system of LANs, connected together. A network that connects computers located in separate areas, (i.e., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) - An industry group that certifies cross-vender interoperability and compatibility of IEEE

802.11b wireless networking products and to promote that standard for enterprise, small business, and home environments.

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - This is a group of computers and other devices connected wirelessly in a small area. A wireless network is referred to as LAN or WLAN.

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, he GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any ther program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software

Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to reedom, not price.

Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can chnge the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restritions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that ou have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gies you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.


68


Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by soeone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by sftware patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.

To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s ree use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification

This License applies to any proram or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means eitherthe

Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitaton in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the otput from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copis of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and o the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the

Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchang for a fee.



2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all ofthese conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or s derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started unning for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute th program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, d not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissons for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to xercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the

Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storageor distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.



3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under

Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provded that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections

1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to bedistributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowe only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modificationsto it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a spcial exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that omponent itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of te source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.



4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to cop, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as sch parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.

However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the

Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibite by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the

Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifing the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these trms and conditions.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgmentor allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the coditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license ould not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

I any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.


72


It is not the purpose of this sectin to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public licens practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute softare through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restrictd in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permtted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this

License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public Licens from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of his License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software

Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number f this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software

Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permision. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our fre software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.



NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE

STATEDIN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER

PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY

OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,

BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE. TH ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND

PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE

PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL

NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR

AGREED TO IN WRTING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR

ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE

THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR

DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL

OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR

INABILITY TO SE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT

LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED

INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD

PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH

ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER

PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OFTHE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH

DAMAGES.
