SSID
Each network must have a name, referred to as the SSID - “Service Set
IDentifier”. The “service set” is the network, so the “service set identifier” is the
network’s name. This helps you identify your wireless network when wireless
networks’ coverage areas overlap and you have a variety of networks to choose
from.
MAC Address Filter
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address consists of twelve hexadecimal characters (0-9, and A to F), and it is
usually written in the following format: “0A:A0:00:BB:CC:DD”.
The MAC address filter controls access to the wireless network. You can use the
MAC address of each wireless client to allow or deny access to the wireless
network.
RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and
receiving of RIP packets. When set to:
• RX/TX - the WiMAX Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
• RX Only - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all
RIP packets received.
• TX Only - the WiMAX Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any
RIP packets received.
• None - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP
packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the WiMAX Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).
RIP-1
is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is
probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network
topology.
Both
RIP-2B
and
RIP-2M
sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference
being that
RIP-2B
uses subnet broadcasting while
RIP-2M
uses multicasting.
Port Forwarding
A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example,
web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT
makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
