Tx Power – show the BW1253s transmission output power (without antenna gain) in dBm.
RTS Threshold –the AP sends Request to Send(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send(CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The default value is
2347.[recommend].
Fragment Threshold –It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into
multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
fragmentation threshold. Setting the fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor network
performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended. The default value is
2347.[recommend]
Beacon Interval –the Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon
is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network.
DCA – Enable or Disable DCA service. DCA can help to choose the best working channel
automatically. And static channel selection will be forbidden if DCA is enabled.
DCA(Dynamic Channel Allocation) solution automatically select the optimal operational frequency
channel when power up and periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for the best
operational frequency channel.
DCA threshold – specify the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is been used to
judge if there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW1253s will monitor the
environment and adjust channel for the best operational one.
If wireless network environment is stable which means auto channel selection
needn’t do frequently, set a big value for DCA threshold to gain a stable wireless
users’ connection.
If wireless network environment changes continually, frequent auto channel
selection is needed. So set a relative small value for DCA threshold to let channel
change based on wireless environment.

BW1253s supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs on
BW1253s and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can
think BW1253s as single AP with multi service supporting, including different security policy, different
VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time that means client
devices can associate to the access point for specific service. Use the Wireless | Advanced menu to
configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID, VLAN, and
Security for each SSID.
You can define different MBSSID if you configure AP mode in Wireless | Basic menu.

root AP and dynamically self-configure for wireless bridge connection. Whenever a bridge link is
broken, the network will auto re-configure route to minimize the lost of WLAN operation. It also
minimized the technician intervention and reduce cost of going on-site to re-establish transmission
paths.

the client AP will automatically seek the nearby root AP based on the best signal quality and same
NetID to re-build a bridge link. For the normal(client) AP the NetID must same with root AP to
distinguish which root AP is in the link table. And the frequency channel is determined by the root AP
despite the client AP configured.
NetID – NetID is a very important element for the dynamicbridge link. The link between root and client
AP will based on the same NetID to make the bridge link.

Network | Interface
The AP-Router contains two kinds of network interfaces: eth1 is worked as wide area network (WAN)
interface for Access Points; each BSS interface is worked as local area network (LAN) interface which
bridge into the br0 interface. The WAN port connects to the Internet or the service provider’s
backbone network. Each BSS can be looked as a virtual AP, wlan1_0 is the virtual AP for wireless
network.
All these interfaces are listed in the Network Interfaces page. All network interfaces available in the
AP-Router are shown in the following table:

Network | Tr069 Settings
TR-069 is the Broadband Forum technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management
Protocol(CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol, it provides the communication between customerpremises equipment(CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers(ACS server). It includes both a safe auto
configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework.
The protocol addressed the growing number of different internet access devices such as
modems,routers,gateways,set-top-boxes,and VOIP-phones for the end users. The TR-069 standard
was developed for automatic configuration of these devices with Auto Configuration Servers(ACS).

BW1253s)
Mode – show the radio operation mode. (AP mode or Bridge mode)
Domain – show the regulatory domain.[ The country code selection is for non US models only]
Static Channel / Auto Channel – show the channel that the access point will use to transmit and
receive information
If DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) is enabled, this will show Auto Channel and
its channel number is chosen in auto channel selection.
If use static channel selection, this will show Static Channel and its channel
number.
DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) is useful feature to help choose the best
channel automatically and reduce interference among many Access Points.
Band – show the working bands on which the radio is working.
Seven bands listed: 2.4GHz(11ng HT20) , 2.4GHz(11ng HT40plus), 2.4GHz(11ng HT40minus) ,
5GHz(11a), 5GHz(11na HT20) , 5GHz(11na HT40plus), 5GHz(11na HT40minus) .
Tx Power – show the BW1253s transmission output power (without antenna gain) in dBm.
RTS Threshold –the AP sends Request to Send(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send(CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The default value is
2347.[recommend].
Fragment Threshold –It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into
multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
fragmentation threshold. Setting the fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor network
performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended. The default value is
2347.[recommend]
Beacon Interval –the Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon
is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network.
DCA – Enable or Disable DCA service. DCA can help to choose the best working channel
automatically. And static channel selection will be forbidden if DCA is enabled.
DCA(Dynamic Channel Allocation) solution automatically select the optimal operational frequency
channel when power up and periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for the best
operational frequency channel.
DCA threshold – specify the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is been used to
judge if there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW1253s will monitor the
environment and adjust channel for the best operational one.
If wireless network environment is stable which means auto channel selection
needn’t do frequently, set a big value for DCA threshold to gain a stable wireless
users’ connection.
If wireless network environment changes continually, frequent auto channel
selection is needed. So set a relative small value for DCA threshold to let channel
change based on wireless environment.

BW1253s supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs on
BW1253s and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can
think BW1253s as single AP with multi service supporting, including different security policy, different
VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time that means client
devices can associate to the access point for specific service. Use the Wireless | Advanced menu to
configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID, VLAN, and
Security for each SSID.
Each BSSID can have its own SSID. In this case, Multiple BSSID is the same with

This chapter describes the user pages based on XSL format. Detailed instructions on how to change
and upload new user pages are given below.
When launching his/her web browser the user's initial HTTP request will be redirected to an operator
defined set of web pages, further called the "user pages". User pages are:

Welcome page– the first page presented to the user.
Login page– subscriber authentication page, allows the user to login to the network.
Logout page– small pop-up window for logged-on user statistics and log-out function.
Help page – get help with the login process.
Unauthorized page – this page is displayed when web login or EAP login methods are disabled
on the BW1253s for subscribers.

The following mentioned user pages are factory default. The operator/owner can
upload new templates for all user pages based on their designed.
Contact with BROWAN if you need the User Pages templates samples.
User Pages Overview
Welcome Page
Welcome page is the first page a subscriber receives when he starts his web browser and enters any
URL. By default it’s a very simple page and provides only a link to the login page.

Changing User Pages
As the operator/owner you can modify the user pages freely according to your personal needs and
preferences. User Page templates can be either stored locally on the AC or on an external web server.
Use the user interface | configuration menu to modify user pages. There are two ways to change
and store new user page templates:
External – linking new user page templates from an external server.
Internal – upload new templates to local memory.
Supported user pages template formats:
XSL (Extensible Style sheet Language) for welcome/login/logout/one click pages.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language for help/unauthorized pages.
The welcome, Login and logout pages must be in .XSL format.
The following image formats are supported for new templates. Other formats are not accepted:

PNG
GIF
JPG
The following examples demonstrate the use of internal and external user pages.
Contact with BROWAN if you need the User Pages templates samples.

Extended UAM
The Extensions feature (User menu) allows an external Web Application Server (WAS) to
intercept/take part in the user authentication process externally log on and log off the user as
necessary. It provides means to query user session information as well.
See the following schemes to understand how the remote client authentication works.
Scheme 1:
The remote authentication method when client’s authentication request is re-directed to the external
server (WAS):
Client
AC
WAS
RADIUS Server
1. Initial Request
2. Fetch XSL
3. Renders HTML
4. Direct client
communication
with WAS
5. Client sends
his/her login and
password
6. WAS tries to
authenticate
client
7. AC sends
request to
RADIUS
8. RADIUS reply
authenticated or
not
9. WAS reports
client status:
authenticated or
not
Figure 295 – Client Remote Authentication Scheme (1)
The Client initiates (1) authentication process. AC intercepts any access to the Internet via HTTP and
redirects the client to the welcome, or login URL on AC. In order to render the custom login screen
HTML page, the AC must be configured to (2) fetch .XSL script from a remote server, which in this
case is a Web Application Server (WAS), or have custom .XSL uploaded on the AC. There is the
ability to enable caching of .XSL scripts (see: User | Pages), thus avoiding fetching of the same
document every time a client requests authentication.
The AC (3) uses .XSL script to render HTML output, which is done by feeding a XML document to a
parsed and prepared for rendering .XSL script. The latter XML document contains all needed
information for Web Application Server like user name, password (if one was entered), user IP
address, MAC address and NAS-Id. Custom .XSL script must generate initial welcome/login screen
so that it embeds all the needed information in a HTML FORM element as hidden elements and
POST data not back to the AC, but to the Web Application Server (5). Thereafter the client
communicates directly with the Web Application Server.
Page 160 of 180
BW1253s User Guide v1.0
Nov. 2013
When the Web Application server has all needed data from the client, it must try to authenticate (6)
the client. Authentication is done by the RADIUS server but through the AC. At this step the shared
secret is used to make the connection between the WAS and the AC. The AC re-sends the
authentication request to the RADIUS server (7). Depending on the status, appropriate authentication
status must be returned back to the WAS but through the AC (8). In step (9), the Web Application
Server knows the client authentication status and reports success or failure back to the client.
The Web Application Server (WAS) must be configured as a free site in the Walled
Garden area.
There is an ability to skip the rendering initial user pages from the .XSL. See the following scheme
when the user initial request is redirected to the specified location.
Scheme 2:
The remote authentication method when client with proxy authentication request is re-directed to the
external server (WAS):
Client
AC
WAS
RADIUS Server
1. Initial Request
2. Replay with
HTTP redirect
3. Direct client
communication
with WAS
4. Client sends
his/her login and
password
5. WAS tries to
authenticate
client
6. AC sends
request to
RADIUS
7. RADIUS replay
authenticated or
not
8. WAS reports
client status:
authenticated or
not
Figure 296 – Client Remote Authentication Scheme (2)
The initial client request (1) can be redirected to the specified location, as redirection URL on the
Web Application server. In such case the client who wants to authenticate gets the redirection from
AC (2). In other words the AC intercepts any access to the Internet via HTTP and redirects the client
to the defined welcome, or login URL on WAS (also see: User | Pages). The further actions are the
same as described in the Scheme 1 (Figure 295 – Client Remote Authentication Scheme (1)).
The WAS location URL under welcome page redirect must be configured as a free
site in the Walled Garden area.
To define such redirection URL use the user | pages menu. Enable welcome page, set the redirect
setting and specify the redirect location for such authentication process (also see: User | Pages).
