In client mode, the device can’t support the Router mode function

include Firewall and WAN settings.

3. WDS

Wireless Distribution System, this mode serves as a wireless repeater,

only devices with WDS function supported can connect to it, all the

wireless clients can’t survey and connect the device when the mode is

selected.

4. AP+WDS

Support both AP and WDS functions, the wireless clients and devices

with WDS function supported can survey and connect to it.

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.

refer to the following setting of the WEP encryption: z 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. z 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. z The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment.
PAGE 8
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.

Configuring as WLAN Client Adapter This device can be configured as a wireless Ethernet adapter. In this mode, the device can connect to the other wireless stations (Ad-Hoc network type) or Access Point (Infrastructure network type) and you don’t need to install any driver. Quick start to configure Step 1. In “Basic Settings” page, change the Mode to “Client” mode. And key in the SSID of the AP you want to connect then press “Apply Changes” button to apply the change. 1. 2. 3. Step 2.
PAGE 10
The alternative way to configure as following: Step 1. In “Wireless Site Survey” page, select one of the SSIDs you want to connect and then press “Connect” button to establish the link. 1. 2. 3. Step 2. If the linking is established successfully. It will show the message “Connect successfully”. Then press “OK”. Step 3. Then you can check the linking information in “Status” page.
PAGE 11
Note ： If the available network requires authentication and data encryption, you need to setup the authentication and encryption before step1 and all the settings must be as same as the Access Point or Station. About the detail authentication and data encryption settings, please refer the security section. Authentication Type In client mode, the device also supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”.

Chapter 3 - Configuring WDS Wireless Distribution System (WDS) uses wireless media to communicate with the other devices, like the Ethernet does. This function allows one or more remote LANs connect with the local LAN. To do this, you must set these devices in the same channel and set MAC address of other devices you want to communicate with in the WDS AP List and then enable the WDS. When you decide to use the WDS to extend your WLAN, please refer the following instructions for configuration.

Chapter 4 - Advanced Configurations Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall Filtering function is used to block packets from LAN to WAN. The device supports three kinds of filter Port Filtering, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. All the entries in current filter table are used to restrict certain types of packets from your local network to through the device. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
PAGE 17
MAC Filtering When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC Addresses in current filter table. Once the source MAC Address of outgoing packets match the MAC Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN. Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual Server) This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall.
