Figure 3 Main Page !!!Note z The username and password are case-sensitive, and the password should be no more than 19 characters.
Basic System Settings For users who use KWA-O6020-I for the first time, it is recommended that you begin configuration from “Basic Settings” in “System” shown below : Figure 4 Basic System Settings Basic Settings Network Mode: Specify the network mode, including Bridge and Router. It is easy to configure parameters in Bridge Mode; however, users must pay extra attention to the way they configure the device when it is set to Router Mode.
IP Settings (Bridge) This is available only under Bridge network mode. Open “TCP/IP Settings” in “System” as below to configure the parameters for LAN which connects to the LAN port of KWA-O6020-I . In this page, users may change the settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server. Figure 5 IP Settings (Bridge) Obtain IP Address Automatically: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this option, thus KWA-O6020-I is able to obtain IP settings automatically from that DHCP server.
Figure 6 IP Settings (Router) WAN Settings: Specify the Internet access method to Static IP, DHCP or PPPOE. Users must enter WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway settings provided by your ISPs. LAN Settings: When DHCP Server is disabled, users can specify IP address and subnet mask for KWA-O6020-I manually. Make sure the specified IP address is unique on your network in order to prevent IP conflict.
Time Settings Compliant with NTP, the KWA-O6020-I is capable of keeping its time in complete accord with the Internet time. Make configuration in “Time Settings” from “System”. To use this feature, check “Enable NTP Client Update” in advance. Figure 7 Time Settings z Time Zone Select Select the time zone from the dropdown list. z Time Server Select the time server from the “NTP Server” dropdown list or manually input the IP address of available time server into “Manual IP”.
RADIUS Settings RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a server for remote user authentication and accounting; playing a central role in the network in providing the capabilities of authenticating, authorizing, accounting, auditing, alarming and etc. It allows an organization to maintain user profiles in a central database that all remote servers can share. Open “RADIUS Settings” in “System” to make RADIUS configuration.
Basic Wireless Settings Open “Basic Settings” in “Wireless” as below to make basic wireless configuration. Figure 9 Basic Wireless Settings Disable Wireless LAN Interface Check this option to disable WLAN interface, then the wireless module of KWA-O6020-I will stop working and no wireless device can connect to it. Wireless Mode Four operating modes are available on KWA-O6020-I. Wireless Client: The KWA-O6020-I is able to connect to the AP and thus join the wireless network around it.
Broadcast SSID Under AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA can not scan and find KWA-O6020-I, so that malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided. 802.11 Mode KWA-O6020-I can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11a or 802.11a/n. You can also select Auto and make it work under an appropriate wireless mode automatically.
Channel Mode Two levels are available: 20MHz and 40MHz. The latter one can enhance the data rate more effectively, but takes more bandwidth, thus cause potential interference. Extension Channel Protection Mode This is to avoid conflict with other wireless network and boost the ability of your device to catch all 802.11a transmissions. However, it may decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self; the transmission amount of CTS-RTS is much lower.
Chapter 4 Advanced Settings Advanced Settings Open “Advanced Settings” in “Wireless” to make advanced wireless settings. Figure 11 Advanced Wireless Settings WMM Support WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a priority limit on the basis of data type, thus those time-sensitive data, like video/audio data, may own a higher priority than common one. To enable WMM, the wireless client should support it.
KWA-O6020-I sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The setting range is 0 to 2346 in byte. Fragmentation Length Specify the maximum size in byte for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is recommended.
Max. Station Num Available only under AP mode, it defines the maximum amount of wireless clients allowed to be connected. Space in Meter To reduce the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the KWA-O6020-I can automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes. The distance to be entered here is calculated in terms of meters, so if the actual distance between two nodes is 5Km, please enter 5000 in the blank.
Network Authentication Open System: It allows any device to join the network without performing any security check. Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication. Legacy 802.1x: As an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control, it provides the rights to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized authentication as well as dynamic key management, it controls the security risk of wireless network to the lowest.
Access Control The Access Control appoints the authority to wireless client on accessing KWA-O6020-I, thus a further security mechanism is provided. This function is available only under AP mode. Open “Access Control” in “Wireless” as below. Figure 13 Access Control Access Control Mode If you select “Allow Listed”, only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect to your AP.
WDS Settings Extend the range of your network without having to use cables to link the Access Points by using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS): Put simply, you can link the Access Points wirelessly. Open “WDS Settings” in “Wireless” as below: Figure 14 WDS Settings Enter the MAC address of another AP you wirelessly want to connect to into the appropriate field and click “Apply” to save settings. ***Note: z WDS Settings is available only under Bridge and AP Repeater Mode.
Chapter 5 Management SNMP Management KWA-O6020-I supports SNMP for convenient remote management. Open “SNMP Configuration” in “Management” shown below. Set the SNMP parameters and obtain MIB file before remote management. Figure 15 SNMP Configuration Enable SNMP Check this box to enable SNMP settings. Protocol Version Select the SNMP version, and keep it identical on KWA-O6020-I and the SNMP manager.
to private. Trap Destination Specify the IP address of the station to send the SNMP traps to. Trap Community Specify the password sent with each trap to the manager. By default, it is set to public and allows all requests. Configure SNMPv3 User Profile For SNMP protocol version 3, you can click “Configure SNMPv3 User Profile” in blue to set the details of SNMPv3 user. Check “Enable SNMPv3 Admin/User” in advance and make further configuration.
Access Type Select “Read Only” or “Read and Write” accordingly. Authentication Protocol Select an authentication algorithm. SHA authentication is stronger than MD5 but is slower. Privacy Protocol Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication. None, DES and None are available. None: No encryption is applied. DES: Data Encryption Standard, it applies a 58-bit key to each 64-bit block of data.
