3 CONNECTION Network LAN IP DEVICE LAN+DC 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: 192.168.1.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or AP: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while Dynamic IP’s are distributed by a DHCP Server.
Dynamic IP Address A dynamic IP address is one that is automatically assigned to a PC. These IP addresses are “dynamic” because they are only temporarily leased to the PC when it connects to the network. This is the most convenient and common way of managing IP addresses in a network. The Server that manages this pool of IP addresses is called the DHCP Server. The product has a DHCP Server built-in to simplify the network management.
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.
o Type in admin for user name. o Type in admin for the password o Click on Log In Note: If you have changed the default user name and password of the AP, make sure you enter the correct user name and password. Once the login is successful, you’ll see a configuration menu and a pop up window for wizard setup. The wizard is a quick guide to run you through the configuration process so as to setup your system in the shortest time.
Detailed configuration for the AP can be found at the System Summary menu. The System Summary menu consists of a navigation panel and a configuration panel. The configuration panel is a place to view the entire detailed configuration.
6 CONFIGURATION WIZARD Click Next Once you have logged in, the Wizard screen will appear. Set up your new password The default User Name and password is Click Next admin and admin.

7 CONFIGURATION MENU System Summary > Configuration 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.
System Summary > Associations This page allows you to view the MAC address of all the wireless laptop and PC connected to the AP. ID of AP is the MAC address of the AP itself. Any wireless computers or laptop associated with the AP will have an ID of STA. System Summary > Statistics This page allows you to view the packets and bytes receive and transmit by the Access Point.
System Summary > Site Scan Using the site scan, you can scan for the presence of other AP near you. The ESSID, BSSID, wireless mode, channel, signal strength, security mode and network mode of the surrounding AP will be display in the table. You can use this function to select a clean channel for your AP. Take note that there would not be any result if the wireless function of the AP is set to disable.
Basic Setting > LAN Setting This page allows you to choose the type of IP mode Static IP mode: When you boot up the AP for the first time, it is in Static mode. You can assign a Static IP to the AP. DHCP mode: The AP will obtain an IP Address from an upstream DHCP Server. System Name: This is to assign a name to the AP for system identification. LAN IP address: This is where you assign a local IP address to your AP’s LAN port. The factory default value is 192.168.1.20.
Basic > VLAN Setting The VLAN provides broadcast filtering, security, address summarization, and traffic flow management. VLAN tagging is to control traffic flow patterns and react to port relocations. ou may also set LAN1 port to have the same VLAN ID as the management port to enable the PC connected to this port to get access to web or console. This page lets you configure the wireless AP, VLAN tagging configurations and additional function of the wireless AP. The features includes as follows: 1.
Wireless > Basic Setting This page lets you configure the Wireless settings of the AP. There are 2 sections: Radio and Security. Enable Wireless: Tick to enable wireless function. With this function, laptop with card bus or in-built wireless function can access the AP wirelessly. Enable QoS (SpectraLink) Support: Selecting this option will enable the 802.11e QoS support feature for VOIP and video data. Operation mode: AP operates as Wireless LAN Access Point or Ethernet Bridge or Repeater.
Wireless Mode: You can choose to operate the AP in 802.11g or 802.11b mode. The data rate for 802.11g is 54Mbps while the data rate for 802.11b is 11Mbps. 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b. WDS: This feature is available for Ethernet bridge mode. Enable or disable or disable with multiple PC support. When WDS enabled, the bridge can support multiple PCs behind it. When WDS disabled, the bridge can support only one PC behind it.
Security mode > Open-System/Shared key Open-System: When chosen, the Key is not used for authentication. It is only used for encryption. Open-System uses Static Keys for encryption. Static (Shared) Keys are never changed, and a hacker can crack the key after a period of time. Shared-Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication between the AP and Client. Note that this system is also using Static Keys. Key Entry Method: Choose HEX if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal format.
Security Mode > WPA-PSK WPA-PSK is also known as WPA-Preset-Key. This implementation is more secure than WEP as the encryption is automatically changed periodically. To configure this feature, just key in 8-63 ASCII character or 64 HEX character pass-phrase for both the AP and Cards. Cipher: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type. Security Mode > WPA WPA (WiFi Protected Access) is a standard where the Wireless Card has to authenticate to a RADIUS Server, through the Access Point.
Security Mode > WPA 2-PSK WPA 2-PSK is the enhancement of WPA-PSK which uses the AES encryption algorithm. Cipher: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type. Security Mode > WPA 2 WPA 2 is the enhancement of WPA which uses the AES encryption algorithm. RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address and the port of the RADIUS Server. Shared Secret: Enter the Shared Secret of the RADIUS Server. Confirm Secret: Enter the Shared Secret again to confirm.
Wireless > Advance Setting This page allows you to configure the advance wireless setting of the AP. Data Rate (Mbps): You can set the wireless data rate from the available list or choose Best to allow the AP to choose the most appropriate data rate. When Best is used, the AP will determine the optimal data rate according to the environment. Transmit Power: This will adjust the transmit power of the antenna.
Wireless > MAC Access Control This page allows you to specify which wireless computer can access the Internet and which wireless computer cannot access the Internet. The specified MAC address and the policy for the computer are reflected in the table. Enable Wireless MAC Control: Tick to enable Wireless MAC Control. Default Policy: This policy determines whether computers, whose MAC addresses are not in the table, are able to access the Internet.
Wireless > Bandwidth Control This page allows you to control the bandwidth limit for broadcast/multicast/TCP and individual wireless client. Enable Broadcast Limit: Selecting this option will filter off out broadcast storm. Broadcast Box: Select a number in between 0 to 1000 F/s.
