Chapter 5 TDMA

Currently, most of the outdoor bridge products are developed based on 802.11 protocols, however, it has the limitations of short-distance, hidden node problems, and poor point-to-multi-point performance.

VTrans technology utilizes a series of advanced technologies such as TDMA, 20 M/40 MHz bandwidth support, intelligent rate control, Auto ACK Time-out Adjust, having the advantage of long transmission range, high date rate and robust transmission.

TDMA technology solves the problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network infra-structure. 20 M/40 MHz bandwidth can be flexibly configured by the uses in different working scenario to achieve the best link quality. Intelligent rate control algorithm can be adapted to quick channel quality variations, while stabilize the wireless throughput, thus suitable for long-distance transmission. ACK Time-out Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the devices, and adjust the wireless parameters to achieve the best link quality.

The TDMA setting is shown in the following figure:

Figure 5-1 TDMA Settings

To use the TDMA, the user needs to enable TDMA mode in the WDS Access Point device, and set a priority level in the WDS Station device. When several stations are connected to one WDS Access Point, different stations demand different throughput. If the station demands higher throughput, its priority level can be set to High, otherwise set to Low. When the stations demand the same throughput, their priority level can be set to the same level.

When using TDMA mode, the TDMA button need to be enabled at both WDS Access Point and station devices in the web-based configuration menu. The devices from other vendors cannot be connected to DS-3WF02C-5N/O in the TDMA mode.

Figure 7-2 Management Network Settings

7.3 Firewall

When the user wants to shield some devices from DS-3WF02C-5N/O, a firewall can be used to implement this function. The firewall is as shown below:

Figure 7-3 Firewall Settings

1. Filter the device whose LAN port IP address is 192.168.1.100.

DS-3WF02C-5N/O User Manual

The firewall is enabled, the default rule of the firewall is Accept, the destination of the IP address filtering is Deny, the interface eth0, the IP type IP, the source IP/mask 192.168.1.100/32, and other values are null.

2. Filter the device whose MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:01.

The firewall is enabled. The default rule of the firewall is Accept. The MAC filtering mode is Deny, the interface is eth0, the source MAC00 is 00:00:00:00:01, and the other values are empty.

7.4 IP Aliases Settings

This function can add multiple IP addresses of the same network segment or different network segments to a network interface. The IP aliases of different interfaces cannot be the same.

Figure 7-4 IP Aliases Settings

7.5 Static Routes

This feature can be set to static routing.

Figure 7-5 Static Routes Settings

7.6 Traffic Shaping

Traffic shaping is used to control the traffic of ingress/egress based on each network port. As show below, the ingress of ath0 is limited to 10240Kbps, and the egress is limited to 20480Kbps. That means the receiving rate of the wireless link is limited within 10Mbps, the sending rate is limited to less than 20Mbps. But usually, the input limited effect is not obviously, thats because we could not control how quickly the traffic arrives. However, when a port sends out egress traffic, it can control how quickly the traffic exits.

Burst defines the how many bytes allowed for downloading/uploading during a quick time. That leads to momentary throughput can greater than the limit value.

DS-3WF02C-5N/O User Manual

23

Figure 7-6 Traffic Shaping

Ingress traffic entering ath0, control the input rate

Egress traffic exiting ath0, control the output rate

The relationship of rate and burst for ingress:

Set burst to 0, the rate of ingress is unlimited

Set burst to about 1/10 of rate limit, the rate curve is stable

Set burst larger than rate limit, the rate curve will hold a high value for a while then down to stable

Below is the table that reflects the relationship between ingress rate limit and burst.

7.7 VLAN Settings

The VLAN function allows user to create multiple virtual local area network. As show below, we add a VLAN on port ath0. The VLAN ID is 10. The range of VLAN ID is 2~4094. Each VLAN ID represents a different VLAN.

Figure 7-7 VLAN Settings1

Bridge function is needed to use together with VLAN. As show below, we add VLAN 10 on port eth0 and ath0, they are eth0.10 and ath0.10, and put them into the same bridge. The packets from eth0.10 or ath0.10 will be added a VLAN label which ID is 10. That requires: the opposite wireless connection side must support VLAN 10, the device which connects with eth0 is also need to support VLAN 10.

7.8 Bridge Network

This feature allows the ports of the device to bridge. Bridge, refers to the process of forwarding network packets according to the address of the link layer of the OSI network model, working in the second layer of OSI.

Ping IP: User can input the destination IP address of another device, and click Ping button. If that destination device is successfully connected to the DS-3WF02C-5N/O device, the result shows Alive, otherwise shows Not Alive.

Time to Reboot: Timing restart equipment.

NTP: If this NTP server is set, and the DS-3WF02C-5N/O device can access to this NTP server. DS-3WF02C-5N/O device automatically calibrate the time and date information with the NTP server and show the time information in the Status page.

Ping Watchdog: The ping watchdog sets the DS-3WF02C-5N/O device to continuously ping a user-defined IP address (for example, it can be the IP address of the AP the Client is connecting to). If it is unable to ping under the user defined constraints, the DS-3WF02C-5N/O device will automatically reboot. It is highly recommended that users enable this feature at the side of WDS Station and disable this feature at the side of WDS Access Point.

Ping Interval: Specify time interval (in seconds) between the ping requests are sent by the Ping Watchdog.

Ping IP Address: Specify an IP address of the target which will be monitored by Ping Watchdog. If this feature is enabled at the side of WDS Station, Ping IP Address should be the IP address of the WDS Access Point the WDS Station is connecting to.

Startup Delay: specify initial time delay (in seconds) until first ping request is sent by the Ping Watchdog.

Ping Failure: Specify the number of ping replies. If the specified number of ping replies is not received continuously, the Ping Watchdog will reboot the device.

If users want to modify the parameters of Ping Watchdog, please disable it first and then apply. When the web page shows that Ping Watchdog is really disabled, users can now re-enable it with modified parameters.

Syslog: When Syslog is enabled, and the System Log servers IP is also set here, the log information will be output to the Syslog server automatically.

SSH: Check the Enable SSH function to log in to the terminal through a more secure SSH method.

SNMP: When SNMP is enabled, use can check the working condition and information of the DS-3WF02C-5N/O device.

Spectral Scanning: Spectral scanning function can view around the 20MHz bandwidth frequency of the use situation; this can help you configure the device to avoid busy frequency. If you run the spectral scanning, you cannot do any configuration operations on the device page. If you want to configure the device again, you only need to click the exit button in the spectral scanning web page to exit.

Antenna Calibration 5G: Outdoor remote adjustment of the antenna angle used, every few seconds to refresh the current 5G associated signal strength histogram, the user can judge the current two devices according to the two antenna is at the best angle.
