15 Multi-channel Operation By changing channels on adjacent access points, it is possible to obtain higher through- put per wireless terminal, than when channels are not changed, even when the number of wireless terminals are increased. The 2.4G ISM band (2400 to 2472 MHz) in which this product operates is subdivided into 11 channels, numbered 1 to 11, by IEEE standard 802.11, because each frequency has sidebands around its central frequency, sidebands on adjacent channels overlap. Overlapping frequencies can adversely affect communications by interference with each other's transmissions. • Refer to the figure below when selecting channels, to ensure the frequency bands do not overlap. • The maximum number of channels which can be used simultaneously without inter- ference is three. By using a combination of channels 1, 6, 11. Channel numbers can be set from 1 to 11 using utility software. • Channel numbers can be set from 1 to 11 using the utility software. Even on the same network, the wireless terminals which have different channels cannot communicate with each other.

31 — Extended Roaming When using the GN-1010 as a station, you can use “Extended Roaming“ function. Extended roaming is the function which enhances the normal roaming. This allows you to specify the roaming threshold and the preferred APs to login. When Extented Roaming is enabled and Roaming Threshold is set to 80 • When ST transfers from 1 to 2, ST can connect with AP1 using the connection of AP1 and RSSI 80. • When ST transfers from 2 to 3, the connection of AP1 and RSSI 80 cannot be used. Therefore, log-out is performed from AP1, then the roaming is performed to AP2 to login. • When ST transfers from 3 to 4, the connection of AP2 and RSSI 80 cannot be used. Therefore, log-out is performed from AP2, however in this case, the wire- less connection is disconnected because of lack of AP which is allowed to login. Roaming is performed after the transfer, the following occurs if there are two or more APs which are allowed to login. • When “AP Login Priority“ is not specified, log-in will be performed to the AP which has a higher RSSI value. • When “AP Login Priority“ is specified, log-in will be performed to the AP which has a higher priority. Also, when “Login Other AP“ is disabled, log-in will be allowed to only the preferred APs registered, even when there are other APs which are allowed to login.

— Extension Speed Control “Extension Speed Control” is the function which automatically changes the trans- mission speed according to the RSSI value. This lowers the speed when the RSSI value becomes low, and heighten the speed when the RSSI value becomes high. When using the GN-1010 as a station, you can use this function. • There is a station logged in to AP at 1, with the transmission speed 11Mbps. RSSI value is retained at 90 or more. • When the station transfers to 2 (RSSI 90 or below and RSSI 80 or more), “Extension Speed Control“ function will be activated and the transmission speed will be changed to 5.5Mbps. • When it transfers to 3 or 4, the speed will be changed to 2Mbps or 1Mbps respectively.

You can also load the batch list from the list file, and save a list as the list file. Up to 256 protocols can be registered. Operation Button

— MAC Address Filter "MAC Address Filter" is the function to permit only user units which have MAC addresses registered in APs to login. This can refuse log-in to APs to unknown user units which have not registered. When MAC addresses of UU1 and UU2 are registered in the MAC address filter list and the address of UU3 is not, UU1 and UU2 can login to AP, however UU3 cannot login. To permit UU3 to login to AP, the AP administrator must add MAC address of UU3 to the MAC address filter list. MAC Filter List UU1 UU2 AP UU1 UU2 UU3

Note, the entry order of MAC addresses has no relationship with function. For the value of "NodeAddress", delimit MAC address with “-” (hyphen) every 2bytes. You can specify multiple MAC addresses by range as well as specify indi- vidually. In this case, delimit between the start address and the end address with “,” (comma). In the example above, all the MAC addresses in 00-80-4C-00-00-00 to 00-80-4C-FF-FF-FF are specified.

— Protocol Filter "Protocol Filter" is the function to pass (bridge) only packets of the protocols regis- tered in AP. This can interrupt traffic of a protocol which is not usually used, and reduce unnec- essary use of the wireless bands. When protocol A is registered in the protocol filter list owned by AP and other proto- cols such as B are not, packet of protocol A can pass (bridge) through AP, however packet of protocol B is discarded when passing through AP.

TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter describes common problems which may occur with this product and how to handle them. If any problems other than described here occur, check to confirm the re-occurrence. Then, contact TOSHIBA authorized dealer or service engineer. When Communication Fails Check Software • Check if the LAN cables are connected correctly. • Check if the DIP switch is set correctly. • Check if the terminals which cannot communicate with each other have the same ESS ID. Two terminals with different ESS ID cannot communicate with each other. • Check if the IP address and subnet settings have been entered. • Check if the operating mode setting has been correctly entered. • Check whether or not communication is restricted by security functions. • Check whether or not the WEP key setting is the same as that of the recipient device. If the key placed in the default send key number used for transmission is differ- ent from that placed in the same location on the recipient device, communica- tion will not be performed. • Check if the channel setting has been correctly entered. • Check if the communication speed setting has been correctly entered. Check Peripheral Environment or Installation Location • A nearby source of electromagnetic interference can prevent communication. In general locations (excluding factories) the following may be sources of electro- magnetic emissions. • 2.4GHz band wireless networks not compatible with IEEE 802.11b. • Microwave ovens • Security gates • Elevator motors • Sometimes communication is hindered by attenuation of electric waves. Attenu- ation occurs naturally as distance from the source of transmission increases, but may also be caused by objects in the path of the transmission. The objects pri- marily responsible for attenuation are the following. • Concrete walls • Metallic surfaces around antennas • Most electromagnetic sources other than wireless networks are local and not contin- uous, and therefore by moving the location of the unit and waiting briefly, communi- cation may be possible. Also, do not place wireless devices too close together. A distance of at least 1m should be allowed. • Stable transmission at 11Mbps requires an RSSI value of at least 80. The RSSI value can be verified on the Wireless Device Information tab on the Sta- tus screen using the utility software.

53 When Device Cannnot Be Detected Automatically By Node Registration When the utility software cannot automatically detect the device, check the following. • Check the connection between the device and PC which executes the utility soft- ware, referring to the section "Connecting between the GN-1010 and PC" (P.18). • Check the DIP switch setting. • When the PC which executes the utility software is the DHCP client, exit the soft- ware. When approx. 1 minute has passed, open the software again. When Device Does Not Start Check Power LED • Check that the power LED is on. • Check if the AC adapter is correctly plugged into the power supply con- nector and an outlet. • Check if the power supply switch is in “DC” side. • Check whether or not the power LED is flashing. If the power LED is still flashing more than 10 minutes after the power is turned on, the problem may be a device firmware failure. Use the utility soft- ware to upgrade the firmware version.

Glossary AP (Access Point) Access points serve as the bridge between wired networks and wireless networks, as well as providing bridge functions between segments and IP tunnel functions indispens- able to the building of versatile, large-scale networks. CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) CSMA is a method of avoiding collision by which wireless terminals listen before trans- mitting and do not transmit if they can hear transmissions from other wireless terminals. CSMA/CA is CSMA plus additional collision avoidance functions. DS (Direct Sequence) A type of spectrum diffusion signal using narrow band modulation with phase modula- tion, in which the diffusion is by means of phase modulation using a broad band diffu- sion signal (pseudo random strings). ESS ID (Extended Service Set ID) In the GN-1010 series, the ESS ID is similar to a name assigned to the wireless LAN network to which a unit belongs. Communication between wireless terminals which have different names cannot be performed. Wireless network can be partitioned by using different ESS ID names. IEEE (Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers) "I-triple-E," involved in a wide range of fields from communications and computer to medicine and biology, with primary activities related to publishing articles and sponsor- ing conferences, but also recommending and setting of standards. The organization sponsoring Committee 802 which is responsible for LAN related mat- ters. IEEE 802.11/IEEE 802.11b The wireless LAN standard established by the IEEE. LAN (Local Area Network) A network configured from mutual connections between computers within a limited area. Also called an "intranet" or "business or regional data communications network." RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication) A numeric indicator of incoming signal strength. RTS (Reqest To Send) In communication via AP, transmission is controlled by CSMA/CA plus RTS. In RTS, a wireless terminal asks the AP if it is able to transmit, and only transmits after an OK-to- send acknowledgement signal is returned. This serves to avoid unnecessary collisions when hidden terminals exist because hidden terminals cannot transmit. Infrastructure System to integrate wireless LAN with wired LAN

57 Spectrum Diffusion Transmission A method of transmission in which signals that are normally transmitted over a given limited frequency band undergo narrow band modulation (primary modulation), then again diffuse modulation (secondary modulation) to intentionally diffuse the signal over a broad frequency spectrum. Channel This term has the same meaning as a television or radio channel. In the 2.400 to 2.472GHz ISM band used by this product, the IEEE 802.11 standard provides for divi- sion into 11 channels numbered 1 to 11. Even on the same network, wireless devices operating on different channels cannot communicate with each other. Bridge A device for relaying between LAN's. The bridge determines whether to relay data based on the address of the computer to which the data is being sent. It can be used to connect networks having different protocols, or when data for broadcast to all comput- ers is received, can send this to all connected networks. Router A device for relaying between LAN's. The router determines data addresses by the combination of a network address assigned to the network and an individual computer address. Used particularly in medium-scale and larter LAN systems with very large number of clients, to reduce traffic (congestion) on communication lines. Roaming This term has the same meaning as roaming for a portable phone or PHS. The AP is in the role commonly called the “antenna/base station” for the phone or PHS, and the user unit is in the role of the phone itself.
