Outdoor Indoor Antenna Power Injector RJ-45 48V in Power Supply Ground ADSL HUB/SWITCH Ethernet Internet Ch 2. First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN). Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment, otherwise it will cause abnormal situation. We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is for finding out the IP of the device.
To use this mode, first you must set the wireless radio to be client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement. The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles. AP (Access Point) The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN. AP Client This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types.

Disable the wireless interface of device Band: The device supports 2.4GHz(B), 2.4GHz(G) and 2.4GHz(B+G) mixed modes. Mode: The radio of device supports different modes as following: 1. AP The radio of device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network. 2. Client Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter. 3.
PC #1 AP Client #1 AP Client #3 PC #3 AP Client #2 PC #2 In client mode, the device can’t support the Router mode function including Firewall and WAN settings. SSID: The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access point/bridges on a network or sub-network can use the same SSID. SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in your SSID.
Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your device. The default setting is optimized for the normal operation. For specific application, setting configuration will required highly attention to reach optimistic condition. Note： Any unreasonable value change to default setting will reduce the throughput of the device.
Authentication Type The device supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. When you select “Share Key”, you need to setup “WEP” key in “Security” page (See the next section). The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can associate with the device by using one of the two types. Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
The client expired time determines time interval the client need to re-associate with the device while client is idle. The default client expired time is 300 sec. MTU Size Maximum Transmission Unit, the default MTU size is 1500. The MTU setting controls the maximum Ethernet packet size your PC will send.
This ensures that 802.11g stations are backwards compatible with legacy 802.11b stations. With 802.11g protection enabled, a CTS will be used to lock out 802.11b stations while the 802.11g station is transmitting. While this does allow backwards compatibility with legacy 802.11b stations, it should be disabled in a pure 802.11g environment, as it will have a significant impact on 802.11g performance (as high as 50% decrease in throughput).
When you decide to use the WEP encryption to secure your WLAN, please refer to the following setting of the WEP encryption: 64-bit WEP Encryption：64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP. You can input 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 5 ACSII chars. 128-bit WEP Encryption：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. You can input 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 10 ACSII chars.
Ethernet AP Wireless Station RADIUS Server You should choose WEP 64 or 128 bit encryption to fit with your network environment first. Then add user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS server. In the device , you need to specify the IP address、Password (Shared Secret) and Port number of the target RADIUS server.
each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is Passphrase, the key value should have 8~63 ACSII chars. When Key format is Hex, the key value should have 64 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F). Connecting Profile To enable this function, this device must be in the client mode. User clicks to enable this function and input the SSID of preferred AP and then click “Apply Changes”. The BSSID field is an option in case of two preferred APs having the same SSID.
the whole list once for all! Just click “Delete All” and then click “OK” in the pop-up window to confirm it. To simply disable this function, the user just clicks to disable “Enable connecting profile”. The preferred AP list will be preserved for the next use. MAC Clone for Single Ethernet Client Enable/Disable Mac Clone (Single Ethernet Client) in Wireless-Basic Settings page determines whether the Ethernet Client use it’s own MAC address or AP-Client’s MAC address to transmit data.
Configuring Universal Repeater This device can be configured as a Repeater.

The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can associate with the device by using one of the two types. Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
Not applicable for WLAN 2. MTU Size Maximum Transmission Unit, the default MTU size is 1500. The MTU setting controls the maximum Ethernet packet size your PC will send. Why a limit? Because although larger packets can be constructed and sent, your ISP and Internet backbone routers and equipment will fragment any larger than their limit, then these parts are re-assembled by the target equipment before reading. This fragmentation and re-assembly is not optimal.
Configuring Wireless Security This device provides complete wireless security function include WEP, 802.1x, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES and WPA2-Mixed in different mode (see the Security Support Table). The default security setting of the encryption function is disabled. Choose your preferred security setting depending on what security function you need. WEP Encryption Setting Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network.
128-bit WEP Encryption：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. You can input 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 10 ACSII chars. The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment. WEP Encryption with 802.1x Setting The device supports external RADIUS Server that can secure networks against unauthorized access. If you use the WEP encryption, you can also use the RADIUS server to check the admission of the users.
WPA Encryption Setting WPA feature provides a high level of assurance for end-users and administrators that their data will remain private and access to their network restricted to authorized users. You can choose the WPA encryption and select the Authentication Mode. WPA Authentication Mode This device supports two WPA modes. For personal user, you can use the Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK.
