Frequently Asked Questions

Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway

What is the ISM band?

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM

(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available

worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in

the hands of users around the globe.

What is Spread Spectrum?

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in

reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for

reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband

transmission, but the trade-off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that

the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to

the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives,

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).

What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences?

Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that

is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical

channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short-duration impulse noise. Direct-Sequence Spread-

Spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip

(or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if

one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can

recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low

power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.

Will the information be intercepted while it is being transmitted through the air?

WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN offers the encryption

function (WEP) to enhance security and access control.

What is WEP?

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit shared key algorithm, as

described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

What is a MAC Address?

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet

networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all

practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a

computer logs onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for

the network.
