MyTek Communication Ltd. MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 4.1 What and how to find my PC’s IP and MAC address? IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 191.168.1.254 could be an IP address.
MyTek Communication Ltd. MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 Example 1: wireless Infrastructure Mode Ad hoc mode (also called peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set, or IBSS) is simply a set of 802.11 wireless stations that communicate directly with one another without using an access point or any connection to a wired network.
MyTek Communication Ltd. MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 4.7 What are potential factors that may causes interference? Factors of interference: # Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture… etc. # Building Materials: metal door, aluminum studs. # Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors and electrical motors. Solutions to overcome the interferences: ! Minimizing the number of walls and ceilings. ! Position the WLAN antenna for best reception.
MyTek Communication Ltd. MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 threshold is small, the overlap part of the master and parallel transmissions is large. This means the spatial reuse ratio of parallel transmissions is high. In contrast, with a large fragment threshold, the overlap is small and the spatial reuse ratio is low. However high fragment threshold leads to low fragment overhead. Hence there is a trade-off between spatial re-use and fragment overhead.
MyTek Communication Ltd. MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point). 4.13 What is Preamble Type? There are two preamble types defined in IEEE 802.11 specification. A long preamble basically gives the decoder more time to process the preamble. All 802.11 devices support a long preamble. The short preamble is designed to improve efficiency (for example, for VoIP systems). The difference between the two is in the Synchronization field.
MyTek Communication Ltd. 4.17 MWA-105 Access Point Version: 1.1 What is 802.1x Authentication? 802.1x is a framework for authenticated MAC-level access control, defines Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LANs (WAPOL). The standard encapsulates and leverages much of EAP, which was defined for dial-up authentication with Point-to-Point Protocol in RFC 2284. Beyond encapsulating EAP packets, the 802.
