Security Features Terminology Line of Site Aironet 340 Series Bridge xv A clear line of sight must be maintained between wireless bridge antennas. Any obstructions may impede the performance or prohibit the ability of the wireless bridge to transmit and receive data. Directional antennas should be placed at both ends at appropriate elevation with maximum path clearance. The Aironet 340 Series Bridge employs Spread Spectrum Technology, previously developed for military “anti-jamming” and “low probability of intercept” radio systems. The Aironet 340 Series Bridge must be set to the same System Identifier (SSID) as all other Aironet devices on the wireless infrastructure. Units with a different SSID will not be able to directly communicate with each other. When configuring your system, and when reading this manual, keep in mind the following terminology: Infrastructure – The wireless infrastructure is the communications system that combines Aironet bridges, mobile nodes and fixed nodes. Aironet bridges within the infrastructure can be either root units, which are physically wired to the LAN backbone, or can act as wireless repeaters. Other RF enabled devices serve as fixed nodes or mobile nodes. Root Unit – The root unit is an Aironet bridge that is located at the top, or starting point, of a wireless infrastructure. The root bridge is usually connected to main wired backbone LAN. Since the radio traffic from the other bridges LANs will pass through this unit, the root unit is usually connected to the LAN which originates or receives the most traffic Repeater – A repeater is an Aironet bridge that establishes a connection to the root bridge or another repeater bridge to make the wired LAN to which it is connected part of the bridged LAN. End Node – A radio node that is located at the end of the network tree.

xvi Aironet 340 Series Bridge Parent/Child Node – Refers to the relationships between nodes in the wireless infrastructure. The complete set of relationships is sometimes described as a network tree. For example, the Aironet bridge (at the top of the tree) would be the parent of the end nodes. Conversely, the end nodes would be the children of the Aironet bridge. Association – Each root unit or repeater in the infrastructure contains an association table that controls the routing of packets between the bridge and the wireless infrastructure. The association table maintains entries for all the nodes situated below the Aironet bridge on the infrastructure including repeaters and radio nodes. Power Saving Protocol (PSP) and Non-Power Saving Protocol – The Power Saving Protocol allows computers (usually portable computers) to power up only part of the time to conserve energy. If a radio node is using the Power Saving Protocol to communicate with the infrastructure, the Aironet bridge must be aware of this mode and implement additional features such as message store and forward. Bridge System Configurations The Aironet 340 Series Bridge can be used in a variety of infrastructure configurations. How you configure your infrastructure will determine the size of the microcell, which is the area a single bridge will provide with RF coverage. You can extend the RF coverage area by creating multiple microcells on a LAN. Examples of some common system configurations are shown on the pages that follow, along with a brief description of each. Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge The Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge Configuration uses two units to bridge two individual LANs. Packets are sent between the file server and Workstation B through the wireless bridge units (root unit and remote node) over the radio link. Data packets sent from the file server to Workstation A go through the wired LAN segment and do not go across the wireless radio link.

Any obstructions may impe<strong>de</strong> the performance or prohibit the ability<br />

of the wireless bridge to transmit and receive data. Directional<br />

antennas should be placed at both ends at appropriate elevation with<br />

The Aironet 340 Series Bridge must be set to the same System I<strong>de</strong>ntifier<br />

with a different SSID will not be able to directly communicate with each<br />

When configuring your system, and when reading this manual, keep in<br />

mind the following terminology:<br />

Infrastructure – The wireless infrastructure is the communications system<br />

that combines Aironet bridges, mobile no<strong>de</strong>s and fixed no<strong>de</strong>s. Aironet<br />

bridges within the infrastructure can be either root units, which are<br />

physically wired to the LAN backbone, or can act as wireless repeaters.<br />

Other RF enabled <strong>de</strong>vices serve as fixed no<strong>de</strong>s or mobile no<strong>de</strong>s.<br />

Root Unit – The root unit is an Aironet bridge that is located at the top,<br />

or starting point, of a wireless infrastructure. The root bridge is usually<br />

connected to main wired backbone LAN. Since the radio traffic from the<br />

other bridges LANs will pass through this unit, the root unit is usually<br />

Repeater – A repeater is an Aironet bridge that establishes a connection<br />

to the root bridge or another repeater bridge to make the wired LAN to<br />

which it is connected part of the bridged LAN.<br />

End No<strong>de</strong> – A radio no<strong>de</strong> that is located at the end of the network tree.
