Chapter 5 Wireless Configuration and Roaming
This chapter discusses how to configure Wireless and Roaming screens on the ZyAIR.

Wireless LAN Overview

This section introduces the wireless LAN (WLAN) and some basic scenarios.

5.1.1 IBSS

An Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), also called an Ad-hoc network, is the simplest WLAN configuration. An IBSS is defined as two or more computers with wireless adapters within range of each other and can set up an independent (wireless) network without the need of an access point (AP).
Figure 5-1 IBSS (Ad-hoc) Wireless LAN

5.1.2 BSS

A Basic Service Set (BSS) is when all communications between wireless stations or between a wireless station and a wired network client go through one access point (AP). Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the BSS.
Wireless Configuration and Roaming
Figure 5-2 Basic Service set

5.1.3 ESS

An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS). An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated wireless stations within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate.
Figure 5-3 Extended Service Set

Wireless LAN Basics

Refer also to the Wizard Setup chapter for more background information on Wireless LAN features, such as channels.

5.2.1 RTS/CTS

A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within range of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are within range of the access point (AP) or wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they cannot hear each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are considered hidden from each other.

ZyAIR G-1000 Access Point Users Guide channel of a new access point, which then informs the access points on the LAN about the change. The new information is then propagated to the other access points on the LAN. An example is shown in Figure 5-6. With roaming, a wireless LAN mobile user enjoys a continuous connection to the wired network through an access point while moving around the wireless LAN. If the roaming feature is not enabled on the access points, information is not communicated between the access points when a wireless station moves between coverage areas. The wireless station may not be able to communicate with other wireless stations on the network and vice versa.
Figure 5-6 Roaming Example The steps below describe the roaming process. Step 1. As wireless station Y moves from the coverage area of access point AP 1 to that of access point AP 2, it scans and uses the signal of access point AP 2. Step 2. Access point AP 2 acknowledges the presence of wireless station Y and relays this information to access point AP 1 through the wired LAN. Step 3. Access point AP 1 updates the new position of wireless station. Step 4. Wireless station Y sends a request to access point AP 2 for reauthentication.
5.4.1 Requirements for Roaming
The following requirements must be met in order for wireless stations to roam between the coverage areas. 1. All the access points must be on the same subnet and configured with the same ESSID. 2. If IEEE 802.1x user authentication is enabled and to be done locally on the access point, the new access point must have the user profile for the wireless station.
ZyAIR G-1000 Access Point Users Guide The adjacent access points should use different radio channels when their coverage areas overlap. All access points must use the same port number to relay roaming information. The access points must be connected to the Ethernet and be able to get IP addresses from a DHCP server if using dynamic IP address assignment. To enable roaming on your ZyAIR, click ADVANCED, WIRELESS and then the Roaming tab. The screen appears as shown. 3. 4. 5.
Figure 5-7 Roaming The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 5-2 Roaming
LABEL Active DESCRIPTION Select Yes from the drop-down list box to enable roaming on the ZyAIR if you have two or more ZyAIRs on the same subnet.
All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations must have the same ESSID to allow roaming.

Figure 6-6 802.1x Authentication The following table describes the fields in this screen.
Table 6-3 802.1x Authentication
LABEL Wireless Port Control DESCRIPTION To control wireless stations access to the wired network, select a control method from the drop-down list box. Choose from No Authentication Required, Authentication Required and No Access Allowed. No Authentication Required allows all wireless stations access to the wired network without entering usernames and passwords. This is the default setting. Authentication Required means that all wireless stations have to enter usernames and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed. No Access Allowed blocks all wireless stations access to the wired network. Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in order to stay connected. This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
ReAuthentication Timer (in seconds)
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout (in seconds) The ZyAIR automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
LABEL Authentication Databases DESCRIPTION This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field. The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local user database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use (first) to authenticate a wireless station. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding database correctly first. Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in user database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server. Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and the authentication fails. This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to RADIUS Only. Local user database may not be used. Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without using dynamic WEP key exchange. Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. Up to 32 stations can access the ZyAIR when you configure dynamic WEP key exchange. Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyAIR. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
