4 BASIC IP NETWORKING IP = Internet Protocol IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For example: 192.168.10.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or Router: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while Dynamic IP’s are distributed by a DHCP Server.
SSID The SSID is the “network name” for the WLAN network. The SSID is any name, and can be any set of characters or numbers. The Client sniffs the radio frequencies for an AP with the same SSID with itself. The client locks onto the AP and they are “associated”. To enable plug-and-play convenience, most client cards can sniff the frequencies to extract the available SSID’s to let the user choose from.
5 GETTING STARTED Connect the network as shown previously. If your PC is wireless, check the PC’s card utility to make sure that the signal strength is good and that the bottom LED lights up on the AP. Open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc.). Type the AP LAN IP (192.168.1.20) address into the browser’s Address field. The default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.20. 6 CONFIGURATION MENU In every Web Configuration page, the left panel is the navigation menu containing the main sections.
Basic Site Survey Site Survey: Displays the MAC address, RSSI, SSID and the channel of other AP. Basic Administration This page allows you to change the Username and Password for admin user/end user. The default username is admin and password is admin. After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this combination. To view/upgrade firmware version, you need to close this configuration page. Then you have to login as a super user/system administrator in the configuration page again.
Basic IP Configuration This page allows you to choose the type of IP Static IP mode: When you boot up the AP for the first time, it is in Static mode. You assign a Static IP to the AP. The default IP address, subnet mask and gateway mask are 192.168.1.20, 255.255.255.0 and 0.0.0.0. DHCP mode: the AP will obtain an IP Address from an upstream DHCP Server. When in DHCP client mode, these 4 columns show the IP settings obtained from the network.
Operation Mode: TEW-455APBOoperates as Wireless LAN Access Point or Ethernet Bridge mode. Wireless Bridge is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line over a distance. Two AP’s can be set up to connect over this distance, acting as the wired backbone. SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wireless LAN. This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point when multiple Access Points operate in the same location. The default SSID is 11g.
Advanced Security Setting This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome parties from reading your traffic. Authentication can also be configured to block outsiders from accessing your network. Disable: No wireless security. WEP: Select to apply WEP security. WPA-PSK: Select to apply WPA-PSK security. WPA: Select to apply WPA security. WEP Security Key Entry Method: Choose Hexadecimal if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal format.
Hexadecimal Characters: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and a,b,c,d,e,f ASCII Characters: 0,1,2,……8,9 and a,b,c,d,………x,y,z WPA-PSK Security PassPhrase: Key in the 8-64 character for PSK. Cipher Type: Choose Auto, TKIP or AES. WPA Security RADIUS Server IP: Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS Server (for 802.1x authentication purposes). This is used only when you have a RADIUS Server and want to use it for authenticating the Wireless Clients. Almost all homes and many offices do not have a RADIUIS Server.
Advanced MAC Address Control This is only use when the AP is operating in the AP mode. MAC Address Control: Enable or Disable MAC addresses Control. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the client. Allowed MAC Address List: Reflects the MAC addresses of the clients that are allowed to associate with the AP.
Filter IPX Packet: Selecting this option will disallow all IPX packets to pass through. Wireless Isolation: Selecting this option will disallow wireless clients associated with this device to communicate with each other. Enable Broadcast Filter: Selecting this option will filter off out broadcast storm. Broadcast Number Allowed: Select a number in between 10 to 200. Enable Multicast Filter: Selecting this option will filter off out multicast storm.
Advanced Miscellaneous Enable Telnet: Disable/enable Telnet access to this device. Save configuration to local device: After you have successfully configured the AP, you can save this “Good Config” into device memory. Restore configuration from local device: To retrieve previous “Good Config” to restore the AP back to the working setting that was previously saved.
Status System Status This page presents a convenient overview of the overall status of the AP. The most common configuration parameters are shown here, for a quick look . Status Association Status This page presents an overview of the MAC address and Signal Strength of all clients connected to the AP through Ethernet or wireless. The signal strength is the Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) and it is measured in dBm.
Status Firmware Upgrade This page allows you to update the firmware (software) in the AP. New firmware are issued to improve the performance and add features to the product. The new firmware will be name “apimg1”. 1. Save the file in your PC. 2. Browse to the file with the name “apimg1”. 3. Click on Upload. 4. Reboot the AP and the process is complete. 5. After reboot perform a default factory setting. Do not change the filename of the new firmware.
7 OUTDOOR AP UTILITY INSTALLATION Introduction The Outdoor AP utility is an easy-to-use software that allows an Administrator to quickly configure the AP at first boot-up. The QS Utility only communicates with authorized Access Points and Bridge. The Utility allows the devices to be monitored and configured even if they all have the same default IP Address at first boot-up after installation. WAN/Internet QS PC AP Wireless Client PC Requirement • X86 based CPU, 600Mhz & above • 128 MB RAM • 1.

DHCP/Static IP Username and Password of Utility If the username/password of the Devices have been changed, the QS Utility has to be updated with the correct username and password.
Making Changes The changes are directly applied in the Utility. It does not matter if all the devices have the same IP Address. The QS Utility identifies them uniquely by their MAC Addresses. Updating Changes After the necessary changes have been made, the Administrator can apply the changes to the AP. Check on the Reboot Checkbox and click on the Update button to reboot the device. Multiple devices can be updated all at once.
