59Chapter 17 System Setup WIFI Useful terms The terms in the following table are helpful for you to know when using Wi-Fi on your MaxiDAS DS708. Wi-Fi Wireless Fidelity. A term used generically when referring to any type of 802.11 network, such as 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a. WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy. A type of encryption that promotes a secure connection to a Wi-Fi network. SSID Service Set Identifier. An identification number required by most Wi-Fi networks; can be up to 32 characters and is case-sensitive. Generally your MaxiDAS DS708 automatically displays networks that broadcast their SSIDs when you begin Wi-Fi setup. BSSID (MAC address) Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area. In infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and in independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. Tx Rate Transmit Rate. A rate at which packets are sent from your MaxiDAS DS708 (i.e. how many per second). IP address An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification and logical address that is assigned to devices participating in a network utilizing the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes.[ DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network application protocol used by devices (DHCP clients) to obtain configuration information for operation in an Internet Protocol network. WINS Windows Internet Naming Service. EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol. Encryption The process of rendering a digital signal unintelligible to any receiver that doesn’t have some unique piece of information needed to recover that signal. 802.1x 802.1x is an authentication scheme based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
60 Introduction to the Toolbar of WLan Settings There are six tabs in the toolbar of WLan Settings: 1 Status The Status tab shows the following information of the WLan (Wi-Fi local area network) on your MaxiDAS DS708: 1. SSID 2. BSSID 3. Channel 4. Tx Rate 5. Strength 6. MAC address 7. IP address Note: You can click and wait for several seconds to get the newest information. 2 Config The Config tab displays two columns: Preferred Networks and Active Networks. The Active Networks contain all the networks can be detected by MaxiDAS DS708. The Preferred Networks list the networks that were successfully connected the last time you used MaxiDAS DS708.
61 There are two kinds of information for Preferred Networks: SSID and Description. While there are five kinds of information for Active Networks: SSID, Signal, WEP, Channel and BSSID (MAC address). Use the scroll bar to view the remaining information which cannot be displayed at one time. Between the two columns, there are two command buttons: Use the button to refresh available networks. Use the button to get the network you select connected. Click it and a dialog box appears:
62In General tab, fill in the Description column if it has. Note: About network type Two network types can be used in your MaxiDAS: access point and peer-to-peer. Choose an intended type from the two options. The access point mode, which is also known as the infrastructure mode, allows you to communicate with a wired network via an access point. If you attempt to operate this mode, you must indicate the identical network name to make a communication with the intended access point. On the other hand, the peer-to-peer mode provides you with the so-called ad-hoc communication, which means each wireless equipped devices within a group is able to connect with each other as an independent wireless lan without the use of an access point. Each station within this ad-hoc network has to define the same network name. In Authentication tab, select the type of authentication. There are seven options: Open, Shared, Auto Switch, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK. Determine whether to enable encryption and network access with 802.1x. If the router of your Wi-Fi network supports 802.1x, click “Enable network access with 802.1x” box and select EAP type. In Encryption tab, select encryption type and number of key ID. Enter the network key. If there is 1 key ID, input Network key 1 and leave the others blank. If there are 2 key IDs, input network key 1 and network key 2, leave the others blank. The rest may be deduced by analogy.
63 Note: You can press and hold the stylus at the network name in Preferred Networks area for a few seconds, a menu pops up. You can add a new network into the list, edit or delete the existing network, and change the order of the networks listed. 3 IP Info The IP Info tab shows the following information of the Internet Protocol your MaxiDAS DS708 is connecting:
641. Host Name is the unique name by which a network-attached device is known on a network. 2. Domain Name is the name of a tool on the Internet. 3. DNS Server: The domain name service (DNS) converts domain names to IP addresses. 4. Adapter Name is the name of network adapter. 5. IP Address: Refer to Useful terms. 6. Subnet Mask is used to identify the network within the large network. 7. Default Gateway is a node (a router) on a network that serves as an access point to another network. 8. DHCP Server: Refer to Useful terms. 9. WINS Server: Refer to Useful terms. 10. Lease Obt indicates the time when the WLan lease is obtained. 11. Lease Exp indicates the time when the WLan lease will be expired. There are four commands in downside area of IP Info tab: 1. Use the Renew command to get the newest IP information. 2. Use the Ping command to check if the network is connected. A. Try to ping a well-known host on the network. A DNS server is a good target host. If the ping command gets a response, the system is connected to the network. If it cannot connect to a particular host, the problem is either with the network configuration or that host. Contact your network administrator for assistance. If the ping command does not get a response, continue. B. Attempt to connect to another host on the same subnet as the system. If the ping command can connect to a host on the same subnet, but cannot connect to a host on a different subnet, the default gateway is probably down. If the ping command cannot connect to any hosts, continue. C. Use the Config command to determine if the WLan settings is misconfigured. If the Config is misconfigured, configure it correctly. For more information, refer to “Config” tab. If the Config is correctly configured, continue. D. Contact your network administrator to verify that there are no conditions on the network that prevent the system from connecting to the network. If conditions prevent the system from connecting to the network, have your network administrator correct them. Note: Before ping, you have some information to complete in the dialog box. Fill in the IP address/ Host Name, select the timeout (ms) and size (byte), and determine whether to resolve target name and infinite.
65 3. Use the Trace command to trace the network connecting. Note: Before trace, you have some information to complete in the dialog box. Fill in the IP address/ Host Name, select the reply timeout (ms) and maximum hops, determine whether to resolve target name. The difference between ping and trace is that ping can only tell you whether the network is connected, and trace can tell you where something is wrong if the network is not connected. 4. Use the Config command to set the IP address.
66If the server of the network assigns IP address automatically, select “Use server-assigned” IP address”. If not, select “Use static IP address” and manually fill in IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, DNS, and WINS. Click to save your configuration and exit. 4 Advanced In Advanced tab, you are allowed to select the Power Save Mode for the WLan on your MaxiDAS DS708. PSM (Power Save Mode) allows the MaxiDAS DS708 to switch its Wi-Fi radio on and off several times a second to save power. There are three options available in the drop down menu:

In the next window, select encryption type and key ID number, and enter Network key from Encryption tab. And then click to save your configuration and exit. z If you do not see any network listed in Preferred Networks column or Active Networks column, you will have to manually add a hidden wireless network, one that is either not broadcasting its SSID or broadcasting an SSID of NULL. Configuring hidden wireless network is used as a security measure to prevent malicious users from detecting and attempting a connection to a wireless network. Press the blank area under preferred networks column with the stylus and hold for a few seconds, and then click on New command in the popping up menu. In the next window, enter SSID and its description, select network type and channel. Select encryption type and key ID number, and enter Network key if encryption is enabled. And then click to save your configuration and exit. Your MaxiDAS DS708 should be successfully connected to the network and you can now surf the internet. Note: For those networks which have no WEP keys, it is not necessary to enter a network key. As for authentication type, encryption type, network type, channel and key ID number, they depend on the router settings of your local network. Any doubt on these items, contact your network administrator for professional help. 5. To change the order in which connection attempts to preferred networks are made, under Preferred Networks, click the wireless network that you want to move to a new position on the list, and then press it with the stylus and hold for a few seconds, click Move up or Move down in the popping up menu.
706. To remove a wireless network from the list of preferred networks, under Preferred Networks, press it with the stylus and hold for a few seconds, and then click Delete in the popping up menu. 7.
