ORiNOCO Outdoor Router Based Installations Hands-on. Objectives. Feel familiar with the ORiNOCO Outdoor Router system: Configuration settings Monitoring Remote link testing
E N D
Objectives • Feel familiar with the ORiNOCO Outdoor Router system: • Configuration settings • Monitoring • Remote link testing • Create a wireless point to multi point connection between a Central Outdoor Router (COR), a Remote Outdoor Router (ROR) and an Outdoor Router Client (ORC) installation and demonstrate communication between stations that connect to each bridge • Wireless connection between the COR and the ROR, and between the COR and the IC Station • Verify networking using Microsoft Networking (browse network neighborhood) • Access shared disks on other systems in the network (in other segment)
Hands-on tasksOverview • Work in teams of 2-3 students (depends on class size) • Configure the ORiNOCO COR, ROR and IC • Establish the wireless connection between the systems • Exercise monitoring features of the ORiNOCO OR Manager utility • Establish station to station communication • Have instructor verify the operation • If time permits explore advanced functions of ORiNOCO OR Manager utility
The configuration you will buildChoices • Depending on available equipment and time, one or both of the following configurations is to be created (explained on next diagrams): • COR/ROR network with AP-cells in the RORs allowing wireless stations to connect. • ROR/ROR network with AP-cells in the RORs allowing wireless stations to connect.
ORiNOCO Outdoor Router Client ORiNOCO wireless station ORiNOCO Remote Outdoor Router ORiNOCO Central Outdoor Router ORiNOCO Remote Outdoor Router The configuration you will buildCOR / ROR configuration with AP cells
ORiNOCO wireless station ORiNOCO Remote Outdoor Router ORiNOCO Remote Outdoor Router The configuration you will buildROR / ROR configuration with AP cells
Basic Parameters Network Name:Class Channel (s):1 and 13 for the AP cells (1 and 11 for FCC) 7 for the connection between the OR’s (6 for FCC) Workgroup name:Your choice Computer name:Your choice What to share:Your choice IP Addresses:153.69.254.100 - 153.69.254.150 (mask 255.255.255.0)
Make sure to have available ... • ORiNOCO Outdoor Router software diskette (or CD-ROM) • Hardware adapters (ORiNOCO PC Card, Ethernet adapter) • Stations (Notebook computer, desktop computer) • Windows installation CD-ROM (or equivalent stored on hard disk) • OR systems with ORiNOCO adapters • Range extenders • Ethernet cables (cross-over and/or straight UTP) • Ethernet hubs (optional)
Task 1Access the OR configuration 1a) Install (if needed) Ethernet on station 1a) Install (if needed) ORiNOCO adapter on station 1b) Add (if needed) TCP/IP protocol to station set IP as shown in list (next 2 pages) 1c) Install the ORiNOCO OR Manager utility on station 1d) Load configuration from one of the ORs (open remote config) 1e) Review OR settings
Task 2 Change the OR configuration 2a) Upload (if needed) ORiNOCO Outdoor Router software in the ORs using the Keys provided as ROR or COR 2b) Change the wireless link parameters per list on following page: • NWID • Channel • Speed (if needed) • IP address • Disable Routing / enable bridging only 2c) Re-boot the ORs
Task 3 Verify the link between the 2 Outdoor Routers 3a) Check the link using remote link test in the config utility • Change position of the antenna and observe the effects • Increase the distance between ROR/COR and ROR and observe effects 3b) Check the path between the stations • PING test between station and local bridge (COR/ROR) • PING test between station and remote bridge (COR/ROR) • End-to-end PING test between the two stations
Task 4 Establish station to station communication 4a) Enable station for MS Networking • Allow resources to be shared (in network properties) • Make sure to log in to the MS Network • Make disk areas shareable 4b) Explore the network • Browse the network neighborhood • Access the shareable resources at the other station 4c) Explore roaming from one cell to the other
Task 5 Measure the throughput of the connection 5a) Transmit large file from one station to other 5b) Time the transmission time, and calculate the throughput • Use different values for the data rate parameter in the WP • Use different files (different sizes)
Task 6 Monitoring functions of ORiNOCO OR Manager 6a) Start ORiNOCO OR Manager and proceed to monitoring • Observe interface statistics when no transmission between bridges is active • Observe interface statistics when transmission between bridges is active
Task 7 Enable Routing 7a) Set up Router Network shown in next page with Link partner (change back to settings for Point to Point links) 7b) Verify operation using “PING” to test partner note time 7c) Test throughput by measuring time to send large documents
