...Week 1 Wireless Concepts Report DeVry University NETW360: Wireless Technologies and Services Hands on Lab Wireless Concepts Submitted to: Professor: Date: 1/24/2014 Configuring a Wireless Access Point In this Project we were assigned to configure an access point and test the results. Pictured in the figure below is one of the first steps in regards to setup. We chose an easy router name of Group 4 NETW360 to make things easy. Following this logic we chose an automatic configuration Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). What DHCP does is that it provides network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, to DHCP clients automatically versus manually. Figure - 1 Wireless Setup The next step after the basic setup was to configure the wireless setting for our access point. We had to choose a Service Set Identifier (SSID) name which essentially is the public name of our wireless network. In keeping things easy we chose Group4 NETW360. The wireless channel was left on auto due to most wireless end devices will auto-detect and adjust their channel numbers to match that of the router. Also we didn’t want to hide the SSID so we decided to broadcast is by enabling the option, this allows devices to easily find our particular network. Figure - 2 Network Connection In order for us to statically configure the router the necessary information was found by accessing the network connection. Below in the figure are the results. Figure - 3 Wireless...

...James Graves NETW360, Professor Matter 10/20/2012 Lab #7, Wireshark Introduction and Examining Wireless Frames Lab Lab Report This week 7 ILab focuses on an application called Wireshark. We are to download Wireshark from Wireshark.com and follow the questions to come up with answers. 1. Is Wireshark open source or propriety? (7 points) Wireshark is an open source network packet analyzer. 2. What is seen in each of the three panes that display the packets seen on a local area network? (7 point) Like other protocol analyzers, Wireshark's main window shows 3 views of a packet. The Tree view pane allows the hierarches view of the header view details. The Byte view pane shows raw data 16 or 10x bytes per row. The Packet list pane shows packets and the information on each packet, that is separated info columns 3. What does a display filter do? (7 points) The Display Filter allows you change you foreground, background color that is used for matching your specific packet color. They additionally allow you to define which packets are displayed in the listen. 4. What does the protocol column show? (7 points) It shows the High layer protocol in the frame. 5. How do you expand the details in a layer of the packet in the middle frame? (7 points) Click on the plus sign to expand and the negative sign to reduce the size. 6. In frame 1 what channel is being used? (7 points) The saved file name extended. 7. In frame 1 what frequency is being used? (7 points) ...

...NETW360 Week 1 iLab: Basic RF Calculations The power emitted from wireless devices, especially in unlicensed bands, such as 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Wireless network professionals must calculate power levels (or RF signal strength) that are being transmitted by wireless devices to make sure their designs are complaint with FCC regulations. They also need to calculate power levels that are being received by wireless devices to make sure the signal is properly received at the destination. RF power can be measured in two ways: on the linear scale, by the number of watts that are being transmitted; and on a relative scale, by the number of decibels (dBs) instead of watts. Decibel milliwatt (dBm) is the logarithmic power ratio (in dB) of the measured power in milliwatts referenced to one milliwatt (mW). Notice that the reference point is specified as 1 mW = 0 dBm. 3’s and 10’s rules are shortcuts for estimating the increase or decrease of these power levels. In this lab, students will practice basic RF calculations, including · converting from mW to dBm; · converting from dBm to mW; and · estimating power levels using the 3’s and 10’s rules. Task 1: Converting between dBm and mW Applying the 3’s and 10’s rules, the relationship between dBm and mW is estimated as shown in the following (partial) table. 3’s rule|10’s rule| ……|……| 0.125 mW = -9 dBm|0.001 mW = -30 dBm| 0.25 mW = -6 dBm|0.01 mW = -20 dBm| 0.5 mW = -3...
