Phocus Array System Manual v2.1
4.2.5
System Configuration Options
1. Click the Network tab. The System Configuration screen displays.
Figure 17 – System Configuration
Use the System Configuration drop-down list to select the basic operating mode for
the system. The number of interfaces to administer (wired/wireless) and the sequence
in which they are listed changes according to which system configuration you select.
Selecting AP Bridge, as shown above, results in only a single wired/wireless
interface, whereas selecting AP Router results in two interfaces, one wired and one
wireless.
Caution: The sequence of types of interfaces displayed changes when you select a
different System Configuration. Please re-verify that the IP Address, etc.
is correct for each wired and wireless interface before saving and applying
changes. If you apply changes to the system with incorrect IP addresses,
this can render the Phocus Array system inoperable and require extensive
work to recover the system.

2. Enter the correct IP Addresses in the Wireless Interface and Wired Interface
fields. Click the Popup System Configurations Examples link under the
System Configuration section for detailed descriptions of the configuration
options.
Caution: The relative positions of the Wireless and Wired interfaces change when
the System Configuration is changed from AP Router or Ad Hoc Router
to Client Router. Always check the IP Address and other settings.

3. Select the desired configuration from the System Configuration drop-down
list.
AP Bridge has only one interface to configure.
a. Under Interface 1 Configuration, you can see fields for the IP Address
and Netmask of the interface. These may be configured if desired.
b.
Click the Save Changes button.
c.
Click Apply Changes.
Note:
When these changes are applied to the wired network, the IP address of the
Phocus Array System will change, requiring reconfiguration of your
administration computer or network to continue communicating with the
Phocus Array System.
Figure 19 – System Configuration Options
Caution: Optional DNS Servers settings should be saved after saving changes for
System Configuration and Interfaces. If you accidentally added DNS
servers out of order, simply click the Remove button to eliminate DNS
servers. You may then administer the interfaces, save changes, and add
DNS servers.

Configuration is changed from Client Router to Ad Hoc Router or AP Router. Always
check the IP Address and other settings. Enter the correct IP addresses in the Wireless
Interface and Wired Interface fields.
a. Under Interface 1 Configuration, enter the IP Address for the Wireless
Interface.
b. Under Interface 2 Configuration, enter the IP Address for the Wired

Wireless Adapter Configuration
1. Click Wireless in the Network menu bar.
2. Enter the Wireless Adapter configuration.
3. Enter the ESSID configuration.
4. Select the Encryption Type from the drop-down list.
5. Enter the Passphrase (for WEP).
6. Enter the WEP Key or WEP PSK in the appropriate field.
7. Click the Save Changes button.
8. Click Apply Changes.
Caution: Modification of the Encryption Type requires the Phocus Array System to
be rebooted. After saving and applying changes, you must reboot the
system for the new encryption settings to take effect.
9. Click Reboot in the System menu bar.
10. Click Yes, really reboot now. The system will be taken out of service for
about two minutes when rebooted. It boots to the last saved/applied
configuration.

4.2.7
DHCP Server Configuration (optional)
The system can be configured to serve DHCP information (e.g. IP address) to the
LAN by enabling the DHCP server. The LAN in this case would be the Wireless
Interface for a system configuration of AP Router of Ad Hoc Router, or Wired
Interface for a system configuration of Client Router. DHCP server is not available
for the AP Bridge configuration.
1. Click DHCP Server in the Network menu bar.
2. Select Enabled from the DHCP Service drop-down list.
3. Enter the DHCP Server configuration.
4. Click the Save Changes button.
5. Click Apply Changes.

Adding Hosts (optional)
1. Click Hosts in the Network menu bar.
2. To add a device to the network, enter the IP Address and the Host Name.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Click the Save Changes button.
5. Click Apply Changes.

Antenna Configuration
1. Use the PhocusArray screens to configure the behavior of the antenna and to
monitor the stations associated with the unit.
2. Click the PhocusArray tab. The Configure Antenna screen displays.
3. Select the desired Antenna Mode from the drop-down list.
4. Set the Sweep Interval, if desired.
5. Click the Save Changes button.
6. Click Apply Changes.
Figure 26 – Configure Antenna
Once the above steps have been completed, a wireless client should be able to find and
associate the Phocus Array System in AP mode.
44
Phocus Array System Manual v2.1
4.2.10 Manage Stations (optional)
To help monitor associations with Phocus Array System, associated stations can be
named using the Manage Station page. While a client is associated with the system, it
can be assigned a name that will be displayed on the Monitor Stations page. If the
station disassociates the name will be retained internally in the system and will
automatically reappear if the same wireless MAC Address again associates with the
system
This is a useful security feature because new, possibly unauthorized, stations will
appear as a MAC Address (without a name). A system administrator would easily
recognize “unnamed” associated stations as potential security risk.
1. Click Manage Stations in the PhocusArray menu.
2. Enter the MAC address and a Nickname for each Phocus Array station.
3. Click the Save Changes button.
4. Click Apply Changes.
