Product Introduction
Figure 1-1 Product Appearance
WF-3220-Z1 is an 11n access point with high power and double frequency. Compared with
traditional 54Mbps 11G and 108Mbps Super G products, WF-3220-Z1 provides a rate of
300Mbps. With such high bandwidth, it highly enhances data transmission’s effectiveness
and reduces network delay in voice and video processing, network game playing, and
video-on-line selecting.
Double frequency design satisfies the application needs of 2.4 GHz and 5.8GHz. With a gain
planar antenna, WF-3220-Z1 highly enhances wireless reception and emission capacity,
ensuring wireless signal’s stability. The adoption of WPA/WPA2 and WEP security
mechanism provides an overall safeguard for wireless network. WF-3220-Z1 is a newly
developed comprehensive access point, which can be used to receive WiFi signal, cover
wireless signal, and amplify signal. Meanwhile it can also work together with AC to realize a
centralized management.

WEB Configuration and Management
2.1 Network Settings
You will need to install a wired or wireless network adapteradapter on your computer, and
connect it to the AP’s Ethernet port by exterior concentrator or switcher if you use wired
network adapter. If you use wireless network adapter, the connection of Ethernet port can be
skiped. Below operation steps are based on Windows XP, and the UI may be different if you
use some other OS.
2.1.1 WAN interface network settings
Caution：
：：
：
AP device can work in two network environments. One is working as a NE independently with
WAN IP of 192.168.0.1 and subnet mark 255.255.255.0, and the other is controlled by AC, obtaining
IP address and subnet mark from AC.
After AP device obtains IP address, you should follow the below steps to manually set IP
address of PC, which is used to configurate and manage AP device
Step1. Click [Start > Settings > Network Connections], and access the network settings
UI. (Note: switch the menu to the classic view if you fail to find the settings option.)
Step2. Choose the internet connection that matches your wireless network adapter, right
click its icon, and choose properties.
WF-3220-Z1
Zoomnet Confidential Proprietary @ 2013 Zoomnet Corporation. All rights reserved 3
Step3. Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) option and the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
properties dialogue will be displayed.
Step4. Check the Use the following IP address option, and input IP address for PC. Note
that subnet segment of IP address should be the same as AP’s.
Step5. Set the subnet mask and click <OK>to finish the manual setting.
Step6. Ping the AP’s IP address. Once the internet connection is successfully established,
the below interface will display.
Figure 2-1 ping default IP of AP
2.1.2 Wireless network settings
Caution:
This function is only used in the environment where AP is controlled by AC,otherwise STA can not
connect to AP and login WEB management page.
If you don’t want to use STA to manage AP, you can skip this chapter. We also suggest you not to
use STA to manage AP.
Please follow the steps below to connect wireless network (AC controlls AP).
Step1. Click [Start /Settings/Network Connections] and access the network connections
UI.
Step2. Right click the wireless network connections icon and choose <Properties>.
Step3. Double click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) option in the Properties interface, and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialogue will pop up.
Step4. If the access controller is activated, the AP’s IP address can be assigned by AC
remotelythrough DHCP. You may check Automatic gain IP address to gain the IP address
assigned by DHCP Server.
Step5. Click the icon of wireless network adapter on the taskbar
Step6. Click the network connection status to Check the available wireless connections.
WF-3220-Z1
Zoomnet Confidential Proprietary @ 2013 Zoomnet Corporation. All rights reserved 4
Step7. On the page of wireless connection, find out the SSID (take vap0 as example) of the
AP which you want to connect to, then choose it and click the icon <connect> on the lower
right corner.
Step8. If the wireless network adapter is connected to the device successfully, the reminding
information Connected will be displayed on the right corner of the network connection icon.

3.2.4 wlanconfig
wlanconfig command is a utility tool used to manage the VAP (virtual AP). It provides an
instance of a VAP that includes listing VAP and deleting VAP
Online help is as followss:
# wlanconfig --help
usage: wlanconfig athX create wlandev wifiX
wlanmode [sta|adhoc|ap|monitor|p2pgo|p2pcli|p2pdev] [bssid | -bssid]
[nosbeacon]
usage: wlanconfig athX destroy
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds mode (0-4)
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds defcaps CAPS
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds override (0-1)
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds add-repeater MAC (0-1)
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds del-repeater MAC
usage: wlanconfig athX nawds list
1. Create a VAP
When create a VAP, you need to set several parameters of VAP to display its characteristics.
VAP can be a client node or an infrastructure node. Client node is called as “managed” and
infrastructure node is called as “master”. The commands are used to create VAP are as
followss:
Instance:
# wlanconfig ath[N] create wlandev wifiN wlanmode [ap|sta|mon] [bssid] [nosbeacon]
# wlanconfig wifi0_wlan0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap //Create a wlan
2. Display VAP parameters
Only enable the VAP, it can display the parameters normally, the instance of enabling VAP is
described as follows:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid asdddd
DES SSID SET=asdddd

# ifconfig wlan0 up
Command format:
# wlanconfig athN list [sta|ap|chan|keys|caps|wme]
Instance:
# wlanconfig wlan0 list ap // Display the information of neighbour AP

3. Delete a VAP
To avoid the VAP which you want to delete is still interacting with others, you must close it
before delete it. The command can only be applied to the defined VAP, otherwise it is invalid.
Command format:
#wlanconfig athN destroy
3.2.5 iwlist
This command provides a powerful query function for status of wireless interface and
wireless environment.
Online help is as followss:
# iwlist --help
Usage: iwlist [interface] scanning [essid NNN] [last]
