Preface This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages the Ziwell ZWA-G120 Multi-Mode AP, hereafter referred to as the “device”. To use this guide, you should have experience working with the TCP/IP configuration and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks.
Ch 1. ZWA-G120 Installation Packing List Before you start to install the device, make sure the package contains the following items: z z z ZWA-G120 Multi-Mode AP * 1 Power Adapter * 1 RJ-45 Cable * 1 Multi-Mode AP Power Adapter RJ-45 Cable Hardware Installation Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the device. You can use the wall mount hole on the bottom of the device to mount the device on the wall, or just put the device on the desktop.
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. The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP).
types of operation mode. Router The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement.
also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the device. The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes. Bridge Router WISP AP V V X WDS V V X Client V X V AP+WDS V V V Hereafter are some topologies of network application for your reference.
Examples of Configuration This example demonstrates how to set up a network with different device configurations. There are 2 DHCP servers (DEV1/DEV4) in the network to control the IP configuration of 2 domains (192.168.2.x/192.168.3.x). Once the setting is done, all the PCs can visit Internet through DEV1. We assume all the devices keep the factory default setting. To make sure that user can continuing press the rest button for more than 5 seconds to restore the factory default setting.
Configure DEV1: 1. Connect the ADSL modem to Ethernet port of device using Ethernet cable. 2. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the wireless station. 3. Use Wizard page to setup device. 4. Press “Next>>” button then set the “Operation Mode” to “Router” mode. 5. Press “Next>>” button then disable “Time Zone” function.
6. Press “Next>>” button then set the IP address of LAN interface. 7. Press “Next>>” button then select the “PPPoE” for “WAN Access Type” and fill in the “User Name” and “Password” fields. 8. Press “Next>>” button then select the “AP+WDS” for “mode” and change the SSID to “ZPlus-G120-DEV1”.
9. Press “Next>>” button then select “None” for “Encryption” then press “Finished” button. 10. Wait for refreshing web page. 11. Use “WDS Settings” page to configure WDS.
. Enable WDS function and add the BSSID of DEV2 to “Current WDS AP List”. 13. Since we access the device by wireless connection, it may temporarily disconnect when applying the WDS setting. After re-connecting to the device, use the “Status” page to check the settings.

Configure DEV2: 1. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the Ethernet port. Caution If you configure multiple devices in the same PC, since the devices have the same default IP address but different MAC addresses, it may cause you not able to access the web server of device. If the situation happens, please try to clean the ARP table of your PC by DOS command “arp –d” then you can access the web server of device using the default IP address. 2. Use Wizard page to setup device. 3.
5. Press “Next>>” button then set the IP address of LAN interface. 6. Press “Next>>” button then select the “AP+WDS” for “mode” and change the SSID to “ZPlus-G120-DEV2”. 7. Press “Next>>” button then select “None” for “Encryption” then press “Finished” button. 8. Wait for refreshing web page.
9. Access the web server by new IP address “192.168.2.202” then use “LAN Interface” page to disable DHCP Server. 10. Wait for refreshing web page. 11. Use “WDS Settings” page to configure WDS.
12. Enable WDS function and add the BSSID of DEV1 to “Current WDS AP List”. 13. Use the “Status” page to check the settings.
Configure DEV3: 1. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the Ethernet port. Caution If you configure multiple devices in the same PC, since the devices have the same default IP address but different MAC addresses, it may cause you not able to access the web server of device. If the situation happens, please try to clean the ARP table of your PC by DOS command “arp –d” then you can access the web server of device using the default IP address. 2.
5. Use the “Status” page to check the settings.
Configure DEV4: 1. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the Ethernet port. Caution If you configure multiple devices in the same PC, since the devices have the same default IP address but different MAC addresses, it may cause you unable to access the web server of device. If the situation happens, please try to clean the ARP table of your PC by DOS command “arp –d” then you can access the web server of device using the default IP address. 2. Use Wizard page to setup device. 3.
5. Press “Next>>” button then set the IP address of LAN interface. 6. Press “Next>>” button then select the “DHCP Client” for “WAN Access Type”. 7. Press “Next>>” button then select the “Client” for “mode” and change the SSID to “ZPlus-G120-DEV4”. 8. Press “Next>>” button then select “None” for “Encryption” then press “Finished” button.
