Network Name (SSID) The Service Set ID (SSID) that identifies the Wi-Fi
network. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. (Default: WiMAXCPE)
Radio Channel The radio channel used by the unit and its clients to
communicate with each other. This channel must be the same on the unit and
all of its wireless clients. The available channel settings are limited by local
regulations. (Default: 1; Range: 1-14, Auto; Default for EU P/N: Auto).

NOTE
If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from another wireless
device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate interference and increase performance.

Working mode - The 802.1x authentication is an addition to the WLAN


security methods. It provides a method to protect the network behind the
access point from intruders as well as provide dynamic keys and strengthen
WLAN encryption. (Range: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11b/g, Default:802.11b/g)
Transmit Power The power of the radio signals transmitted from the unit.
The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range. Only
Full power is available.
RTS Threshold Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send
(RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to sending the data
frame. The unit sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS
(clear to send) frame to notify the unit that it can start sending data. If a
packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to
Send/Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled. Units contending for the
medium may not be aware of each other, and the RTS/CTS mechanism can
solve this Hidden Node Problem. (Range: 256-2432 bytes: Default: 2432
bytes).
CTS Protect Mode When 802.11g and 802.11b clients operate together in
the same Wi-Fi network, there needs to be a mechanism that prevents
802.11b clients from interfering with 802.11g transmissions. This is achieved
by sending 802.11b-compatible CTS (Clear to Send) or RTS/CTS (Request to
Send / Clear to Send) frames before each transmission. This mechanism

BreezeMAX Si 4000 CPE

56

User Manual

Chapter 5 - Configuring WiFi Parameters

WiFi Configuration

decreases the performance of 802.11g clients, but ensures that 802.11b


clients can communicate with the BreezeMAX Si 4000. (Default: Auto)

Always off: If there are no 802.11b clients in the network, the protection
mode can be disabled.

Always on: The transmitting client sends a CTS frame to prevent others
from accessing the medium. This mechanism is effective for most networks
with mixed 802.11g and 802.11b clients.

Auto: Both RTS and CTS frames must be exchanged before a client can
send data. There may be 802.11b clients in some networks that do not
detect the CTS frames from other stations. The full RTS/CTS exchange
should solve most connection problems, but it also has the greatest impact
on network performance.

Preamble Length All IEEE 802.11 frames begin with an alternating pattern
of 1s and 0s called the preamble, which tells receiving stations that a frame is
arriving. This provides time for the receiving station to synchronize to the
incoming data stream. This parameter sets the length of the signal preamble
that is used at the start of a data transmission. Using a short preamble
instead of a long preamble can increase data throughput on the unit, but
requires that all clients can support a short preamble. (Default: Short
Preamble)

Short: Sets the preamble to short (96 microseconds) for increased


throughput.

Long: Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds. Using a long preamble
ensures the unit can support all 802.11b and 802.11g clients.

SSID Suppress The unit is configured by default as an open system, which


broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients
with a configured SSID of ANY can read the SSID from the beacon, and
automatically set their SSID for immediate connection to the BreezeMAX Si
4000. When enabled, the unit does not include its SSID in beacon messages.
This provides a basic level of security, since wireless clients must be
configured with the SSID to connect to the BreezeMAX Si 4000. (Default:
Disable)

Wireless Security
The BreezeMAX Si 4000 Wi-Fi interface is configured by default as an open
system, which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID (Service
Set ID). Wireless clients with a configured SSID of ANY can read the SSID from
the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the
wireless network.
To implement wireless network security, you have to employ two main functions:
Authentication It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the
network are authorized users. Refer to the next sections for details on various
authentication options (Default mode is Open System).
Encryption Data passing between the unit and clients must be protected
from interception and eavesdropping. You can select one of the following,
depending on your Authentication method:

WEP (see Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) on page 59)

TKIP (see Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) on page 60)

None (Default)

For a more secure network, the BreezeMAX Si 4000 can implement one of several
security mechanisms. The security mechanism employed depends on the level of
security required, the network and management resources available, and the
software support provided on wireless clients.
The following security options are available. These options are described in the
next sections:

5.2.2.1

802.1x Authentication
The 802.1x authentication is an addition to the WLAN security methods. It
provides a method to protect the network behind the access point from intruders
as well as provide for dynamic keys and strengthen WLAN encryption.
You can set the following:
Rekey Interval - Time (in seconds) between renewals of authentication key
(Default: 3600)
RADIUS Server -Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
authentication server
RADIUS Port (Default: 1812)
RADIUS Key (Default: radius_key)

5.2.2.2

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)


Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing
unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between
wireless clients and the BreezeMAX Si 4000.
Two methods of authentication can be used with WEP: Open System
authentication and Shared Key authentication.

5.2.2.2.1

Open System Authentication


Open System Authentication (OSA) is a process by which a computer can gain
access to a wireless network that uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
protocol. With OSA, a computer equipped with a wireless modem can access any

Chapter 5 - Configuring WiFi Parameters

WiFi Configuration

WEP network and receive files that are not encrypted. In Open System
authentication, the WLAN client need not provide its credentials to the Access
Point during authentication. Thus, any client, regardless of its WEP keys, can
authenticate itself with the Access Point and then attempt to associate. In effect,
no authentication (in the true sense of the term) occurs.

5.2.2.2.2

Shared Key
WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings)
that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network.
When enabled, you must configure at least one WEP key for the Wi-Fi interface
and all its clients:
Default Key (1 ~ 4) Sets WEP key values for authentication and encryption. The
user must first choose between ASCII or Hexadecimal keys. At least one key must
be specified. Each WEP key has an index number. The selected key is used for
authentication and encryption on the Wi-Fi interface. Enter key values that match
the key type and length settings. (Default: Hex, 128 bits, no preset value)

5.2.2.3

Key Type - Specifies keys as either ASCII or Hexadecimal values.

Key Length - WEP keys can be set as 64 or 128 bits in length.

Key - Depending on the selected key length, specify keys as either:

5 or 13 alphanumeric characters, or

10 or 26 hexadecimal digits

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)


TKIP is a security protocol used in Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Unlike WEP,
TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying
mechanism. TKIP ensures that every data packet is sent with its own unique
encryption key.

5.2.2.4

WPA/WPA2 Security
WPA is a more powerful security technology for Wi-Fi networks than WEP. It
provides strong data protection by using encryption as well as strong access
controls and user authentication. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and
dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network's privacy and enterprise
security.
There are two basic forms of WPA:
WPA Enterprise (requires a RADIUS server)

BreezeMAX Si 4000 CPE

60

User Manual

Chapter 5 - Configuring WiFi Parameters

WiFi Configuration

WPA Personal (also known as WPA-PSK - WiFi Protected Access, Pre-Shared


Key)
The WPA and WPA2 modes use IEEE 802.1X as their basic framework for user
authentication and dynamic key management. IEEE 802.1X access security uses
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and requires a configured Remote
Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) authentication server to be
accessible in the enterprise network. If you select WPA or WPA2 mode, be sure to
configure the RADIUS settings displayed on the page.
The WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode is a transitional mode of operation for networks
moving from WPA security to WPA2. WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode allows both WPA
and WPA2 clients to associate to a common Wi-Fi interface.
WPA-PSK is an authentication mechanism in which users provide credentials to
verify that they should be allowed access to a network. This requires a single
password entered into each WLAN node.
Encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same, with one
difference: in WPA-PSK, authentication is reduced to a simple common password,
instead of user-specific credentials.
You can set the following for each mode:
Rekey Interval - Time (in seconds) between renewals of authentication key
(Default: 3600)
WPAPSK Type - ASCII (default) or HEX
WPAPSK - Enter your security key

Port Trigger
Port forwarding redirects incoming network traffic from a pre-defined WAN port
range to a pre-defined LAN IP Address and LAN port range. Port triggering is a way
to automate port forwarding: outbound traffic on predefined ports ('triggering
ports') causes inbound traffic to specific incoming ports to be dynamically
forwarded to the initiating host, while the outbound ports are in use. This allows
computers behind a NAT-enabled router on a local network to provide services
that would normally require the computer to have a fixed address on the local
network. Port triggering triggers can open an incoming port when a client on the
local network makes an outgoing connection on a predetermined port or range of
ports.
In the Port Trigger page you can specify up to 15 rules with parameters for Port
Triggering.

Received signal strength


indication (RSSI)

A measurement of the power present in a received radio signal.


RSSI is generic radio receiver technology metric, which is
usually invisible to the user of device containing the receiver,
but is directly known to users of wireless networking of
IEEE 802.11 protocol family.

Real-time Transport

The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) defines a standardized

Protocol (RTP)

packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet.

Real-time Transport

Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) is a sister protocol

Control Protocol (RTCP)

of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).


RTCP provides out-of-band control information for an RTP
flow. It partners RTP in the delivery and packaging of
multimedia data, but does not transport any data itself. It is
used periodically to transmit control packets to participants in
a streaming multimedia session. The primary function of RTCP
is to provide feedback on the quality of service being provided
by RTP.

RTS Threshold

Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of


each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this Hidden Node
Problem. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS
Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.

Service Set Identifier

An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless

(SSID)

LAN and functions as a password for joining a particular radio


cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS).

Session Key

Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to


authenticate a client connection, and correlate traffic passing
between a specific client and the AU-EZ.

Shared Key

A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached


to a wireless network. Shared Key authentication must be used
along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.

Session Initiation

An application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating,

Protocol (SIP)

modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more


participants. It can be used to create two-party, multiparty, or
multicast sessions that include Internet telephone calls,
multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.

Simple Network

Simple Network Time

SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic

Protocol (SNTP)

updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates


can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be received
via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.

Single Input Single

A form of antenna technology for wireless communications in

Output (SISO)

which a single antenna at both the transmitter and at the


destination (receiver) are used.

Subscriber Station

A general term for a customers WIMAX terminal equipment


that provides connectivity with a base station.

Temporal Key Integrity

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol - a security protocol used in

Protocol (TKIP)

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Unlike WEP, TKIP provides


per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a
rekeying mechanism. TKIP ensures that every data packet is
sent with its own unique encryption key.

TR-069 (Technical Report

A DSL Forum technical specification entitled CPE WAN

069)

Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer


protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
It provides the communication between CPE and Auto
Configuration Servers (ACS).

Trivial File Transfer

Trivial File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol commonly

Protocol (TFTP)

used for software downloads.

Transport Layer Security

A cryptographic protocol that provides security for

(TLS)

communications over networks such as the Internet. TLS


encrypts the segments of network connections at the Transport
Layer end-to-end.

Point to Point Tunneling

protocol that enables the transfer of data packets of TCP / IP

Protocol (PPTP)

through a foreign network that is not based on these protocols


(by marking the packet with an address suited to the foreign
network)

Unsolicited Grant Service

One of the five QoS service types defined in the IEEE 802.16

(UGS)

WiMAX. It is designed to support real-time service flows that


generate fixed-size data packets on a periodic basis, such as
T1/E1 and Voice over IP without silence suppression.

User Datagram Protocol

Protocol with no connection required between sender and

(UDP))

receiver that allows sending of data packets on the Internet


(thought unreliable because it cannot ensure the packets will
arrive undamaged or in the correct order)

Universal Plug and Play

A set of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum.

Internet Gateway Device

The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly

(UPnP IGD)

and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home


and in corporate environments for simplified installation of
computer components.

UTP

Unshielded twisted-pair cable.

VoicE Activity Detection

Enables the detection of periods of silence in the audio stream

(VAD

so that it is not transmitted over the network.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

Communications network intended to connect between remote


local area networks

Wired Equivalent Privacy

Wired Equivalent Privacy: WEP is based on the use of security

(WEP)

keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless


devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.

Wireless Application

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open international

Protocol (WAP)

standard for application-layer network communications in a


wireless-communication environment. Most use of WAP
involves accessing the mobile web from any mobile device or
phone.

Wi-Fi Protected Access

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a certification

(WPA)

program developed to indicate compliance with the security


protocol to secure wireless computer networks. The WPA
protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of the
802.11i standard.
