ping” utility of Command Prompt is a handy tool to check the access to the A8Ein BTS.
1. Go to the Command Prompt by typing “cmd” in “Run”.
2. Type command:
ping 192.168.1.222
The A8Ein BTS shall respond to your ping request if A8Ein BTS and your PC have a
correct connection.
NOTE: Using the same PC to ping different A8Ein BTS may cause ping failure. This is because
A8Ein BTS has the same default IP address but different MAC addresses. You need to type
command “arp din Command Prompt to clear ARP table on PC before each ping.
4.3 CONFIGURATION WITH WEB-ADMIN
The A8Ein can be accessed through a Web Browser, for example, Internet Explorer (IE).
1. Open an IE session and type the IP address of the A8Ein BTS. Example:
http://192.168.1.222 or https://192.168.1.222, where 192.168.1.222 is the A8Ein’s IP
address. The default IP Address is 192.168.1.222.
2. A window will pop up, as shown in Figure 5. Enter the user name and password in the

Figure 59 2.4G Radio Advanced setting
A8Ein provides advanced parameter setting, it would change A8Ein performance. Default
setting is recommended.
Data RateDefault setting is “best”. The transmission data rate that appears on the drop-down
menu is dependent on the Wireless Mode specified. The numbered data rates denote fixed rates for
transmission.
Beacon IntervalDefault setting is 100 ms (equivalent to 10 beacons per second). The amount of
time between A8Ein BTS beacon transmissions for each supported BSS, with each BSS using the
same beacon interval. The beacon interval can be configured between 20 and 1000 ms.
DTIMDefault setting is 1. DTIM Interval, always a multiple of the beacon period, determines how
often the beacon contains a traffic indicator map (TIM). The TIM alerts clients in sleep state to stay
awake long enough to receive their data frames. The value range is from 1 to 255.
Fragmentation ThresholdDefault setting is 2346 bytes. The fragmentation threshold, specified
in bytes, determines whether data packets will be fragmented and at what size. Frames that are
smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value will not be fragmented. Frames that are
larger than the fragmentation threshold will be fragmented into smaller packets and transmitted a
piece at a time instead of all at once. The setting must be within the range of 256 to 2346 bytes. It
is recommended to use the default value or only minor reductions of this default value.
IGMP SnoopingAP is a Layer 2 device when it is configured as Switch mode. However,
IGMP Snooping implementation on AP is a little bit different than that of standard Layer 2
Switch.
Each Virtual AP (VAP) port is similar to a Layer 2 switch port. With IGMP Snooping enabled
in the AP, clients associated to a VAP will only receive multicast packets if there is at least
one client joined the multicast group in that VAP. Unlike ordinary IGMP Snooping
implementation, where Layer 2 switch converts multicast to unicast and delivers them to
devices registered with the multicast group, AP should simply send out the multicast
TPS12-016_rev1 1_A8Ein_web-admin_Configuration_Manual_-_fm_1 2 0 604 (for FCC & IC) 20130322.doc
Commercially Confidential
46
packets from the VAP which has at least one client joined the multicast group. This is done
because the wireless media is a broadcast media. It does not need to be sent multiple
times when there are more than one registered clients.
When IGMP Snooping is turned on, multicast packets should be dropped at the VAP exit if
there is no client from the VAP who has joined the corresponding multicast group.
The IGMP snooping forwarding table (port and multicast MAC address mapping table)
should support aging mechanism to age out the entry which has no multicast traffic for a
period of time (120 seconds in A8Ein).
The default setting of the IGMP Snooping is “Disabled”.
Multicast TrafficDefault setting is "Enabled ". If set to "Enabled", the system allows multicast
traffic in all VAPs. If set to "Disabled", all multicast traffic in all VAPs will be dropped.
A8Ein supports “Multicast Traffic Data Rate Setting” to transmit all multicast traffic of the 2.4G
interface at the configured multicast data rate. The multicast data rate must be set to any of the basic
data rates. Default setting is 1 Mbps
