Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI)
using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later).
3.1 Default Settings
The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.
• LAN IP address AP: 10.0.0.2
• LAN IP address STA: 10.0.0.10
• LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Administrative access (username: root, password: 12345)
Caution: The LAN setting default is DHCP mode, if a device connects to the DHCP
network, the LAN IP will be changed by the DHCP server assigned.
Technical Note
During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then
read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.
The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values
are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via
the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols.
The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button
for more than ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the
Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

6.1 Tools – Log
This page has the ability to directly view the PHY statistics of the device.
Pressing the “Start” button will start a 10 second polling log. This data can be useful
to assist in debugging the system.
After selecting “Start”, the page will look similar to the image above. The logging will
stop after pressing the “Stop” button. If the IP address is changed or if the device is
shut off, this page will give an error message if logging was in progress. To recover
the session, please press the “Start” button again.
This interface takes data from an internal OS file, so intermittently; there may be
management messages that show up in this log.

Metric Description Comments
Tstamp This is the system time of
the measurement taken
from the internal system
clock
RxPkts
This represents the
number of packets that
were successfully received
over 1 second intervals.
Each line represents 1
second of time.
RxGain This is the higher receiver
gain value that was
recorded on successfully
received packets during
this measurement
interval. If no packets
were received, this may be
an invalid number.
The maximum value of
RxGain is 62
CRC This is the number of CRC
errors received over the 1
second measurement
interval
If (CRC/Rx Packets) >
10-20%, then the channel
condition or link quality is
poor. This is possibly due to
interference, another Wi-Fi
network or being too far for
the current configuration to
be reliable.
Noise This is the MAX receiver
noise floor as measured
over this 1 second interval
This value is an internal
noise calculation, not
external. In normal
operation it will vary
between 20 and 70.
TxPkts This is the number of
successfully transmitted
packets over the last 1
second interval.
48
Defers This number counts the
number of times an
attempted transmission
was deferred due to the
medium being busy.
This is helpful in
determining if an
environment is very busy.
Defers are common in busy
WiFi environments
Tout This is an indicator of Tx
packet timeout
Timeouts are not common.
The Packet could not find a
time slot to transmit.
Retries
This counts the number of
transmission retries that
have occurred over the
last one second.
This is primarily due to the
lack of acknowledgements
from the partner device.
On the transmit side, note
that the general packet flow
for error is as follows:
Defer
Retry
Timeout
ShPre This counts the number of
Short Preamble Detection
Errors
These are very common in
high throughput conditions
LgPre This counts the number of
Long Preamble Detection
errors
The wireless received a
signal which passed the
short preamble, but failed
the more complex long
preamble. These are less
common than short
preamble errors.
Rate This is a legacy
measurement for rate and
is not currently used
