3 CONNECTION Network 4 LAN LAN + DC BASIC IP NETWORKING IP = Internet Protocol IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For example: 192.168.1.35) 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.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The PC obtaining an IP address from the Server is called the DHCP Client. If there is already a DHCP Server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers. Running more than one DHCP server together will cause network problems! Wireless LAN Basics A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and public Hotspots.
Signal Strength Radio signals drop in power over a distance. Even if all the settings are correct, low signal strength makes association impossible. The usable distance between the AP and client can range from a few meters indoor to a few km. When setting up the client, make sure that you: Keep at a distance between the AP and the clients. Make sure that the WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls and metal structures to reach the client.
6 CONFIGURATION MENU In every Web Configuration page, the left panel is the navigation menu containing the main sections. The right-side frame is where the detailed configuration is done. Navigation Panel Configuration Panel 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.
Site Survey Site Survey: Displays the MAC address, RSSI, SSID and the channel of other AP. 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.
Operation Mode Operation Mode: The AP can be used as an Access Point or as a Wireless Bridge or a repeater. Wireless Bridge or repeater is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line over a distance. Two AP 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 page shows the MAC Address and Signal Quality of the units associated to the AP. For long distance bridging, make sure that you get at least a “good” signal quality for desired performance. Do not insert any spacing in front or behind the MAC address when using Remote AP MAC List. Failing to do so will cause the bridge unable to associate with the intended AP.
Data Rate: You can fix the data rate to different values as 11Mbps or 24Mbps. However it is recommended to set the setting to “Best” for the AP to determine the best data rate to be use. Transmit Power: Sometimes, it is useful to decrease the coverage range of each AP, so that more APs can be located together without interference to one another. The default transmission power is 100%. Antenna Diversity: Default selected as 1 for transmitting/receiving of signals using one antenna.
WEP Security Key Entry Method: Choose Hexadecimal if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal format. Otherwise, choose Ascii Text to enter the Key in ASCII format. ASCII is also called Alphanumeric in some systems. Use the same key format for the AP and Client! Encryption Key: Enter the encryption key. Key Length: Choose the number of bit for the encryption key.
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. These settings are for advanced users only. RADIUS Port: Enter the port number of the RADIUS Server.
MAC Addr Control This is only use when the AP is operating in the AP mode. MAC Addr Control: Enable or Disable MAC address Control. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the client. Allowed MAC Address List: Reflects the MAC address 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.
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 : You can retrieve this “Good Config”, if you have messed up some settings and do not know what was the previous working setting.
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. 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.
Super User This page allows you to change the Username and Password for admin user/end user. The default username is super and password is super. After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this combination. The AP does not allow you to set the same Username for both admin and super users. The Username of super user cannot be the same as the Username of admin user. Firmware Upgrade This page allows you to update the firmware (software) in the AP.
Firmware Version This page presents information of the firmware version of the AP.
