For detailed information on configuring the access point for Hotspot support, see
“Configuring WLAN
Hotspot Support” on page 146
.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers exchange routing-table information. The
parent Router screen also allows the administrator to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP
authentication used.
For detailed information on configuring RIP functionality as part of the access point’s Router
functionality, see
“Setting the RIP Configuration” on page 165
.
Manual Date and Time Settings
As an alternative to defining a NTP server to provide access point system time, the access point can
now have its date and time set manually. A new Manual Date/Time Setting screen can be used to set
the time using a Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format.
For detailed information on manually setting the access point’s system time, see
“Configuring Network
Time Protocol (NTP)” on page 98
.
Dynamic DNS
The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature offered by
www.dyndns.com
which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned IP addresses.
When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the new IP address is sent to the
DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the new IP address. For information
on configuring the Dynamic DNS feature, see
“Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 132
.
Auto Negotiation
Auto negotiation enables the access point to automatically exchange information (over either its LAN or
WAN port) about data transmission speed and duplex capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful when
using the access point in an environment where different devices are connected and disconnected on a
regular basis. For information on configuring the auto negotiation feature, see
“Configuring the LAN
Interface” on page 113
or
“Configuring WAN Settings” on page 125
Theory of Operations
To understand Altitude 35xx access point management and performance alternatives, users need
familiarity with its functionality and configuration options. The access point includes features for
different interface connections and network management.
The access point uses electromagnetic waves to transmit and receive electric signals without wires.
Users communicate with the network by establishing radio links between
mobile units (MUs)
and access
points.
The access point uses
DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum)
to transmit digital data from one device to
another. A radio signal begins with a carrier signal that provides the base or center frequency. The
