The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the 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 DHCP client. Bridge The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled. WISP (Wireless ISP) This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP address form your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port 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. With bridge operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP. 5

And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP. 5
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection. WDS+AP This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the device. The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes. Hereafter are some topologies of network application for your reference. 6
Basic Settings Disable Wireless LAN Interface: 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: ＊ AP : The radio of device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network. ＊ Client : Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter. ＊ 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. ＊ AP+WDS : Support both AP and WDS functions, the wireless clients and devices with WDS function supported can survey and connect to it. 7
Infrastructure : This type requires the presence of 802.11b/g Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point. Ad Hoc : This type provides a peer-to-peer communication between wireless stations. All the communication is done from Client to Client without any Access Point involved. Ad Hoc networking must use the same SSID and channel for establishing the wireless connection. In client mode, the device can’t support the Router mode function including Firewall and WAN settings. 8
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. Channel Number : The following table is the available frequencies (in MHz) for the 2.4-GHz radio: When set to “Auto”, the device will find the least-congested channel for use. Associated Client : Show the information of active wireless client stations that connected to the device. 9
Advanced Settings 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). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance. RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes. Data Rate The standard IEEE 802.11b/11g supports 1, 2, 5.5, 11 / 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. You can choose the rate that the device uses for data transmission. The default value is “auto”. The device will use the highest possible selected transmission rate. Beacon Interval The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacons in mini-seconds. The default beacon interval is 100. Broadcast SSID Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically. If you are building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide better security. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device must connect this device by manually configure the SSID in your client settings. 10
Int. Roaming This function will let Wireless Stations roam among a network environment with multiple devices. Wireless Stations are able to switch from one device to another as they move between the coverage areas. Users can have more wireless working range. An example as the following figure. You should comply with the following instructions to roam among the wireless coverage areas. Note ： For implementing the roaming function, the setting MUST comply the following two items. All the devices must be in the same subnet network and the SSID must be the same. If you use the 802.1x authentication, you need to have the user profile in these devices for the roaming station. Block WLAN Relay (Isolate Client) The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public Wireless Network, enable this function can provide better security. The device will block packets between wireless clients (relay). All the wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other. 11
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. The WEP setting must be as same as each client in your wireless network. For more secure data transmission, you can change encryption type to “WEP” and click the “Set WEP Key” button to open the “Wireless WEP Key setup” page. 12
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. The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment. 13
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. By this way every user must use a valid account before accessing the Wireless LAN and requires a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. An example is shown as following. 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. 14
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. For Enterprise, authentication is achieved via WPA RADIUS Server. You need a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. Enterprise (RADIUS): When WPA Authentication mode is Enterprise (RADIUS), you have to 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. Pre-Share Key: This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They must be as same as 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). 15
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. 16
Step 2. Check the status of connection in “Status” web page 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. 17
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. 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. 18
Authentication Type In client mode, the device also supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. Although the default setting is “Auto”, not every Access Points can support “Auto” mode. If the authentication type on the Access Point is knew by user, we suggest to set the authentication type as same as the Access Point. Data Encryption In client mode, the device supports WEP and WPA Personal/Enterprise except WPA2 mixed mode data encryption. About the detail data encryption settings, please refer the security section. 19
Ch 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. 1. The bridging devices by WDS must use the same radio channel. 2. When the WDS function is enabled, all wireless stations can’t connect the device. 3. If your network topology has a loop, you need to enable the 802.1d Spanning Tree function. 4. You don’t need to add all MAC address of devices existed in your network to WDS AP List. WDS AP List only needs to specify the MAC address of devices you need to directly connect to. 5. The bandwidth of device is limited, to add more bridging devices will split the more bandwidth to every bridging device. WDS network topology In this section, we will demonstrate the WDS network topologies and WDS AP List configuration. You can setup the four kinds of network topologies: bus, star, ring and mesh. In this case, there are five devices with WDS enabled: WDS1, WDS2, WDS3, WDS4 and WDS5. 20
Bus topology: Star topology: 21
Ring topology: 22
Mesh topology： 23
WDS Application Wireless Repeater Wireless Repeater can be used to increase the coverage area of another device (Parent AP). Between the Parent AP and the Wireless Repeater, wireless stations can move among the coverage areas of both devices. When you decide to use the WDS as a Repeater, please refer the following instructions for configuration. ※ In AP mode, enable the WDS function. ※ You must set these connected devices with the same radio channel and SSID. ※ Choose “WDS+AP” mode. ※ Using the bus or star network topology. Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge can establish a wireless connection between two or more Wired LANs. When you decide to use the WDS as a Wireless Bridge, please refer the following instructions for configuration. 24
＊ In AP mode, enable the WDS function. ＊ You must set these connected devices with the same radio channel, but you may use different SSID. ＊ Choose “WDS” mode for only wireless backbone extension purpose. ＊ You can use any network topology, please refer the WDS topology section. 25
Ch 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. Port Filtering When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port or port ranges in current filter table. Once the source port of outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the firewall will block those packets from LAN to WAN. 26
IP Filtering When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP Addresses in current filter table. Once the source IP address of outgoing packets match the IP Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN. 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. 27
Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual Server) This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a web server or mail server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall. The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table. 28
Multiple Servers behind NAT Example: In this case, there are two PCs in the local network accessible for outside users. Configuring DMZ A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set. It also is useful while you run some applications (ex. Internet game) that use uncertain incoming ports. 29
Enable DMZ: Enable the “Enable DMZ”, and then click “Apply Changes” button to save the changes. DMZ Host IP Address: Input the IP Address of the computer that you want to expose to Internet. 30
Configuring WAN Interface The device supports four kinds of IP configuration for WAN interface, including Static IP, DHCP Client, PPPoE and PPTP. You can select one of the WAN Access Types depend on your ISP required. The default WAN Access Type is “Static IP”. Static IP You can get the IP configuration data of Static-IP from your ISP.

PPPoE When the PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) WAN Access Type is selected, you must fill the fields of User Name, Password provided by your ISP. The IP configuration will be done when the device successfully authenticates with your ISP. User Name: The account provided by your ISP Password: The password for your account. Connect Type: “Continuous “ : connect to ISP permanently ”Manual” : Manual connect/disconnect to 34
ISP ”On-Demand” : Automatically connect to ISP when user need to access the Internet. Idle Time: The number of inactivity minutes to disconnect from ISP. This setting is only available when “Connect on Demand” connection type is selected. MTU Size: Maximum Transmission Unit, 1412 is the default setting, you may need to change the MTU for optimal performance with your specific ISP. DNS1~3: The IP addresses of DNS provided by your ISP. DNS (Domain Name Server) is used to map domain names to IP addresses. DNS maintain central lists of domain name/IP addresses and map the domain names in your Internet requeststo other servers on the Internet until the specified web site is found. 35
PPTP Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that applies to connections in Europe only. IP Address: The Internet Protocol (IP) address of WAN interface provided by your ISP or MIS. The address will be your network identifier besides your local network. Subnet Mask: The number used to identify the IP subnet network, indicating whether the IP address can be recognized on the LAN or if it must be reached through a gateway. Server IP Address: The IP address of PPTP server (Default Gateway) User Name: The account provided by your ISP Password: The password of your account MTU Size: Maximum Transmission Unit, 1412 is the default setting, you may need to change the MTU for optimal performance with your specific ISP.

Configuring DHCP Server 1. To use the DHCP server inside the device, please make sure there is no other DHCP server existed in the same network as the device. 2. Enable the DHCP Server option and assign the client range of IP addresses as following page. 3. When the DHCP server is enabled and also the device router mode is enabled then the default gateway for all the DHCP client hosts will set to the IP address of device. Traffic Control This functionality can control Traffic of Up/Downstream 1. Enable Traffic Control and then enter LAN output Rate 、WAN output Rate in 37
the specific field. It can control maximum rate by interface, IP and MAC address 38
Firmware Upgrade Upgrading Firmware The Web-Browser upgrading interface is the simplest and safest way for user, it will check the firmware checksum and signature, and the wrong firmware won’t be accepted. After upgrading, the device will reboot and please note that depends on the version of firmware, the upgrading may cause the device configuration to be restored to the factory default setting, and the original configuration data will be lost! To upgrade firmware, just assign the file name with full path then click ” Upload” button as the following page. Memory Limitation To make sure the device have enough memory to upload firmware, the system will check the capacity of free memory, if the device lack of memory to upload firmware, please temporarily turn-off some functions then reboot the device to get enough memory for firmware uploading. Configuration Data Backup & Restore Rest Setting to Factory Default Value Since the device is designed for outdoor used, there is no interface outside the housing to reset the configuration value to the factory default value. The device provides the Web-Browser interface to rest the configuration data. After resetting it, the current configuration data will be lost and restored to factory default value. 39
Saving & Restoring Configuration Data To save & restore configuration data of device, just assign the target filename with full path at your local host, then you can backup configuration data to local host or restore configuration data to the device. 40
HOW To List for all detail control and script ※ HOW TO USE BANDWIDTH CONTROL NOTE: This control uses QoS with HTB. Bandwidth control it's done through Traffic Control menu, via web interface or via /etc/cbu.conf file. You can limit all traffic via Interface control or you can control via IP and/or MAC basis. Further more, you can create QoS groups and share the group rate amoung the members of that group. You can as well, guarantee minimum rate for group member. Ex: CASE 1: You are going to install this equipment for a Wireless ISP client, which has maximum 256 kbit download speed and 128 kbit upload. Go to traffic control menu and enable "Interface traffic control", with the values: LAN Output rate: 256 -> LAN control downloads WAN Output rate: 128 -> WAN control uploads With interface based traffic control, you can control maximum interface speed, regardless NAT function enabled or not. CASE 2: You are going to install this equipment for an inn establishment, which have 3 clients. Each client wants to have their own speed rate. With this scenario, you can control them via IP or MAC address. To do it so, enable you desired option ( IP/MAC control ) and put your client's IP/MAC address. One entry for each client. This way, you will limit desired speed for each individual client. Further more, you can activate firewall option to block any other machine not listed. To use IP/MAC control, you must disable interface traffic control. 41
※ HOW TO USE BANDWIDTH CONTROL WITH QoS GROUP OPTION QoS groups are used to limit a group of users, and share the total rate. The idea here is simple: ٛ - Any member of the group can reach the total rate of the group ٛ - The total sum of all member's traffic together, will not exceed the total rate of the group ٛ - Any member of the group can have guaranteed bandwidht -Equal bandwidth sharing Ex: Let's back to our example above. Inn establishment, which have 3 clients. All clients have 256 kbit speed contract. One of the clients has 2 machines, which he likes to use internet on both. How to solve this case, if he has 256 kbit speed and two machines? Simple. Let's enable QoS group option. Go to traffic control and enable QoS group option. Create a group as follow: Group ID: 1 LAN Out rate: 256 -> Total rate for download WAN Out rate: 256 -> Total rate for upload Next thing to do is to put the two machines of that client inside the group ( via IP or MAC control ), as follow: Group ID: 1 -> Member of QoS group ID 1 IP: 192.168.x.x -> machine's 1 IP LAN Out rate: 0 -> 0 for equal sharing WAN Out rate: 0 -> 0 for equal sharing Group ID: 1 -> Member of QoS group ID 1 IP: 192.168.x.x -> machine's 2 IP LAN Out rate: 0 -> 0 for equal sharing WAN Out rate: 0 -> 0 for equal sharing This is the example for equal sharing between those 2 machines. Now, let's suppose that, this client wants to have at least 200 kbit guaranteed to machine 1. Simple to do it, as follow: Group ID: 1 -> Member of QoS group ID 1 42
IP: 192.168.x.x -> machine's 1 IP LAN Out rate: 200 -> 200 kbit guaranteed WAN Out rate: 200 -> 200 kbit guaranteed Group ID: 1 -> Member of QoS group ID 1 IP: 192.168.x.x -> machine's 2 IP LAN Out rate: 0 WAN Out rate: 0 The other 2 clients, will have no group: Group ID: 0 -> Does not belong to any group IP: 192.168.x.x -> Client 2 LAN Out rate: 256 WAN Out rate: 256 Group ID: 0 -> Does not belong to any group IP: 192.168.x.x -> Client 3 LAN Out rate: 256 WAN Out rate: 256 43
※ HOW TO GUARANTEE BANDWIDTH FOR A VOIP SYSTEM We will use this example to show how easy is to guarantee bandwidth for a voip system for instance. The main objective here is, to set up simple scenario with no effort. The scenario is: -Internet connection of 300 kbit ٛ - Guarantee 64 kbit for Voip machine ٛ - Don't need to enter every single machine as group member You are going to install this equipment, for some company which has a voip system and some small network (let's say, 30 computers ). We want that all machines have internet access. Let's set up our QoS group: Group ID: 1 LAN Out rate: 300 -> Internet Total download rate WAN Out rate: 300 -> Internet Total upload rate Now, the first thing to do is to put our voip machine in first place: Group ID: 1 -> Member of QoS group ID 1 IP: 192.168.x.x -> Voip machine IP address LAN Out rate: 64 -> 64 kbit guaranteed WAN Out rate: 64 -> 64 kbit guaranteed Next, instead of put every single machine inside the control list, we will put this rule: Group ID: 1 IP: 0.0.0.0 LAN Out rate: 0 WAN Out rate: 0 Simple as that. How dos it work? -> Member of QoS group ID 1 -> 0.0.0.0= the entire network When there is no VOIP traffic, the entire network can reach 300 kbit internet connection. As soon as the voip system starts to operate, the QoS system will reserve 64 kbit for the voip. 44
But, if the boss machine wants to have 128 kbit guaranteed as well? Proceed as follow: Group ID: 1 LAN Out rate: 300 WAN Out rate: 300 Group ID: 1 IP: 192.168.x.x LAN Out rate: 64 WAN Out rate: 64 Group ID: 1 IP: 192.168.x.x LAN Out rate: 128 WAN Out rate: 128 Group ID: 1 IP: 0.0.0.0 LAN Out rate: 0 -> Internet Total download rate -> Internet Total upload rate -> Member of QoS group ID 1 -> Voip machine IP address -> 64 kbit guaranteed -> 64 kbit guaranteed -> Member of QoS group ID 1 -> Boss ip address -> 128 kbit guaranteed -> 128 kbit guaranteed -> Member of QoS group ID 1 -> 0.0.0.0= the entire network WAN Out rate: 0 And so on. We can guarantee as many machines as we want. The rest, will share. 45
※ TRAFFIC CONTROL VIA CONFIG FILE INSTEAD OF WEB INTERFACE This version allows unlimited IP or MAC address traffic control, via /etc/cbu.conf file. Via WEB interface you can only control up to 40 entries. The file etc/cbu.conf uses the same idea as via WEB interface. After you’re done with file changes, you have to type the following commands in order, to save and activate the changes: # salvar # /bin/cbu.sh # /bin/firewall.sh NOTE: REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE TRAFFIC CONTROL VIA WEB INTERFACE. 46
※ NOTES ABOUT SSH ACCESS This firmware version comes with SSH2 server. As default, we have the user "root" with password "root". To change the root's password, proceed as follow: - Access the equipment through SSH terminal ( putty for example ) -type: "passwd" -Type your new password and confirm - Now, to permanet save the change, type: "salvar" - save in portuguese :) This version comes with SSH client program. You can use it to remotelly connect to another equipment. ※ FREEDOM TO CHANGE/EDIT PERSONAL SCRIPT VIA WEB Go to menu Management -> Edit Script File. You can change the way you want. After that, just press Save button. Now your script will be saved and executed! ※ FREEDOM TO CHANGE/EDIT/CREATE SCRIPTS VIA SSH TERMINAL When connected via SSH, you can edit/create scripts inside /etc structure. To do it, there is a popular linux editor: "vi". All files from /etc, will be permanently saved if you type "salvar". So, be carefull with your changes... The main script file is /etc/init.sh, which is responsible for the entire system. You can create your own script inside /etc and call it from /etc/init.sh. NOTE: DO NOT FORGET TO TYPE "salvar" AFTER ANY CHANGE TO PERMANENTLY SAVE IT INSIDE THE FLASH MEMORY! AGAIN, BE EXTRA CEREFULL WITH YOUR CHANGES! 47
※ HOW TO FIX MAC ADDRESS TO CERTAIN IP AND STATIC LEASE VIA DHCP (VIA SSH TERMINAL) With just one file it's possible to lease static ip based on mac addr and to tie-up this pair mac/ip. To do it, you have to edit this file /etc/ethers like that: # John 00:12:34:51:fd:ea 192.168.2.100 # Jhony 00:4f:23:fb:ce:3d 192.168.2.101 After that, save it. Now, type "salvar". To put it to work straightaway, type: "init.sh gw all" With this file, the DHCP server will give IP ADDR based on MAC ADDR. Further more, the equipment will only respond for that IP ADDR with that MAC ADDR. ※ HOW TO FIX MAC ADDRESS TO CERTAIN IP AND STATIC LEASE VIA DHCP (VIA WEB INTERFACE) It's simple, fast and easy to edit /etc/ethers file.
