Chapter 1 – Introduction
Gemtek Systems Page 11
The P-360 HiaB Access Point can work in different operation modes:
• Access point mode (AP)
• Access Point-Router mode (AP-Router)
Difference to P-320
The P-360 WLAN AP is designed to cooperate with G-6000/G-4000 hot-spot gateways. As opposed
to P-320 (Wi-Fi Operator Access Point) the P-360 does incorporate routing and the Universal Access.
However, P-360 can be configured as a 802.1x authenticator. In this setup the G-6000/G-4000
gateway will act as a RADIUS-Proxy and controls the traffic flow. Only when 802.1x authentication
chain is successfully finished the gateway will allow Internet access.
P-360 is also called “A Hot-spot in a box”, because it incorporates all necessary AAA features for
single-cell hot-spots. P-360 typically works as a router, whereas P-320 is used as a layer2 bridge
between wireless clients and an Ethernet backbone.
P-320 and P-360 share one hardware platform incl. housing. However it is not possible for users to
upgrade from P-320 to P-360 by software (or vice versa).
System Requirements
• Network Adapter with Ethernet (UTP CAT 5) Cabling and TCP/IP installed per PC
• Web browser with enabled Java and JavaScripts for Web-based Manager
• Cable Modem with Ethernet Connection and Internet Access
• Windows operating system for AP search and AP upgrade tools

This chapter describes how to install Wi-Fi “Hot-Spot in a Box” Access Point. The hardware and
software installation instructions are provided here.
Hardware Installation
Before you connect the Access Point, decide where to place it.
Determinate the best location of the Wi-Fi Access Point, keeping in mind the following considerations:
•
The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to the network must not exceed 100 meters.
•
The power source must be next to the installation place.
• Try to place the Access Point in a dry, clean location as far from the ground as possible, such
as on top of a desk or bookcase, keeping clear of metal obstructions.
• Try to place the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights,
microwave ovens, refrigerators, or other equipment that could cause radio signal interference.
• Try to centrally locate the Access Point to provide the best coverage of the area.
Attaching the Access Point to the Wall
1. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Use the wall mounting assembly kit available with
P-360 Access Point. Follow the instructions:
• Attach the wall mounting clamp to the wall with the spring latch to the upper side using the
four enclosed screws.
• Connect the rear side of the Access Point to the mounting plate:
Figure 2 -- Attaching the P-320 housing to the mounting clamp
• Move the housing slightly upwards until the spring latch is locked in place. The P-320
Operator Access Point is now securely mounted onto the wall and can not be removed
without special tools.
2. Insert the twisted pair LAN cable to a Power-over-Ethernet socket. At least the power LED and
the LAN link LED should light up.
Chapter 2 – Installation
Gemtek Systems Page 14
Removing the Access Point from the Wall
1. Open the housing of the Access Point by pressing the spring latches on the upper rear side of the
access point using the disassembling tool delivered with your P-360.
Figure 3 -- Removing the P-360 housing using the disassembling tool
2. Release the housing from the wall mounting clamp by carefully pressing the spring latch in the
center of the device (see Figure 3 -- Removing the P-360 housing using the disassembling tool)
using the small edge of the disassembling tool.
3. Move the housing slightly downward and remove it.
Software Installation
Insert the installation CD delivered with your new P-360 Access Point into your CD-ROM drive.
The installation wizard starts automatically and will guide you through the rest of the installation
process. If the installation wizard does not start automatically, please run “autorun.exe” manually
from the root directory of the installation CD.
Software is needed for setup and management of the P-360 HiaB Access Point.
In general, there are four different ways to access the device:
• Windows applications: AP search and AP upgrade (installation required)
• Standard HTML browser (Java and JavaScript enabled) using Configuration Manager
• CLI (command line interface)
• SNMP
Find Your New P-360!
To find your new P-360 HiaB Access Point you will need to connect the AP to the same logical
network as your PC. The standard IP address of the P-360 in factory default status is 192.168.2.2. To
access the P-360 in its default configuration you will need to use one of the following IP settings in
your network:
• IP address space 192.168.x.x
• Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Gemtek Systems Page 15
Test: Calling P-360 with Ping
To test the accessibility of your P-360 from your PC, just type the following from a command prompt:
ping 192.168.2.2
If ping replays, you can access the P-360 from this PC. Otherwise there is a problem accessing the P-
360 in default status from this PC. You should either change the IP address of your PC or of the P-
360.
Gemtek Systems Page 16
The configuration manager provides the user interface to configure and manage HiaB Access Point
(P-360). When the Access Point is installed, access the user interface using the standard Web
browser such as Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape Navigator 6 (Java and JavaScript enabled).
This chapter includes the following subsections:
• Authentication
• System Status
• Setup Wizard
• Advanced Settings

Gemtek Systems Page 22
DNS Server Address is the IP address of a domain name server. This IP address, provided by your
ISP, will be assigned to all PCs requesting address information through DHCP from the P-360.
Available in AP-Router mode only!
If you are not sure about the IP address of the DNS server currently responsible for
your local network, please get your IP configuration with “ipconfig” (Win 2000, Win
NT and Win XP) or “winipcfg” (Win 9x and Win Me) from the command prompt.

Customer Name is the customer’s name.
All of the parameters above on the general configuration setting page are required!
Network Configuration Settings
On the network configuration settings page you can modify the IP settings for the P-360 and the
default gateway.
Figure 13 – Network Configuration Settings
Gemtek Systems Page 23
WAN Interface Settings:
Interface: Use this option to switch the WAN interface of P-360 on (Enable) or off (Disable).
Available in AP-Router mode only!
In AP-Router mode you disable the wired interface to the Ethernet using this radio
button. When the interface is disabled, there are no connections possible between
Ethernet devices and the P-360.
IP Address assigned by ISP is the device’s IP address on the WAN interface. If the DHCP client
function is enabled, the IP address assigned by the DHCP server will be used. If no DHCP server can
be found via WAN interface, the IP entered here will be used.
If you change the IP address manually, please make sure that the chosen IP
address is free and belongs to the same IP subnet as the old one. Otherwise you
will loose the connection to the P-360 from your current PC. If you enable the
DHCP client via web browser, the browser will loose the connection after rebooting,
because the IP address assigned by the DHCP server is not predictable.
IP Subnet Mask is the corresponding network mask for the IP address on the WAN interface.
ISP Default Gateway is the gateway to other networks on WAN side.
DHCP Client: enable this option, when a DHCP server is running in the network on WAN side and
you want the DHCP server to assign a free IP address the WAN interface of P-360.
If you are not sure about the IP address of the gateway currently responsible for
your local network or DHCP server please get your IP configuration with “ipconfig”
(Win 2000, Win NT and Win XP) or “winipcfg” (Win 9x and Win Me) from the
command prompt.
LAN Interface Settings (AP-Router mode only):
IP Address is the device’s IP address on the LAN interface. In AP-Router mode this is the IP address
on the wireless interface, in client router mode it is the IP address on the wired (Ethernet) interface.
If you enable the DHCP server on the wireless interface in AP-Router mode, please
make sure that the IP address inserted for the wireless interface here is in the
same IP subnet as the IP address pool range of the DHCP server.
IP Subnet Mask is the corresponding network mask for the IP address on the LAN interface.
Please make sure that you use different IP subnets for the WAN and LAN
interfaces. If both address spaces are in the same IP subnet, all routing functions
will be disabled!
Masquerade: When you enable this function, the router will use his network address translation (NAT)
function. In this case all LAN IP addresses are hidden to the WAN network behind the routers WAN IP
address. The P-360 in AP router mode on the other side of the wireless network will forward the data
packets using his own WAN IP address to the wired (Ethernet) network it is connected to.
Gemtek Systems Page 24
Wireless Configuration Settings
Access Point SSID
Depending on the device mode selection, parameters available in the Wireless Configuration Settings
page will vary. Because of the complexity and quantity the wireless parameters are spitted into the
simple units.
Figure 14 -- Wireless Configuration Settings (1)
Access Point SSID is a unique name for your wireless network. It is case sensitive and must not
exceed 32 characters. The default SSID is "xxxxx " but you should change this to a personal wireless
network name.
The SSID may not contain special characters like [ ] { } / \ or spaces. Only dots and
underscores are allowed.
In Access Point mode SSID must be made known to all mobile clients, or they have to use the “auto
connect to any wireless network” function in their WLAN card.
If you are running more than one P-360 and want to enable the roaming function, please use the
same SSID in all access points.
Domain/Channel
Figure 15 – Wireless Configuration Settings (2)
Domain: full frequency range of the 2.4 GHz ISM band is not permitted to be used in all countries.
Depending on the selection of the regulatory domain here the available frequency channels will vary.
Channel: Frequency channels are used to avoid interference between nearby access points. If you
wish to operate more than one access points in overlapping coverage areas, we recommend a
distance of at least four channels between the chosen channels. For example, for three Access Points
in close proximity choose channels 1, 5 and 11.
Refer to the regulatory domains chapter in the appendix to get more information
concerning the regulations valid for your country and set the parameters for
frequency channel to the permitted values!
Gemtek Systems Page 25
Encryption Algorithm
Figure 16 -- Wireless Configuration Settings (3)
Select No, 64-Bit or 128-Bit Encryption.
Key 0 to 3: The WEP keys are entered as a series of colon-separated HEX pairs:
5 pairs for 64-Bit (e.g. 00:AC:01:35:FF)
13 pairs for 128-Bit (e.g. 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:AA:BB:CC).
Also select the active key radio button next to appropriate key.
The encryption key must also be entered into the WLAN card configuration of the mobile clients.
Gemtek Systems Page 26
Advanced Settings
Setting up the P-360 advanced settings requires advanced knowledge of the
TCP/IP network structure and functionalities. It is recommended that only skilled
network administrators should use these settings.
ACL Settings
In the ACL Settings page you can specify default access policy for wireless or Ethernet network
devices.
Default ACL policy for wireless network: Select Accept to allow all mobile clients to access this
access point or Deny to prevent all mobile clients from access to your access point. Clients may also
be subject to rules in the Access control table.
Default ACL policy for Ethernet: Select Accept to allow all LAN clients to access this access point
or Deny to prevent all LAN clients from accessing your access point. Clients may also be subject to
rules in the Access control table.
Figure 17 – ACL Settings
If you need to define special access rules for specific network devices, you can create your own
access list. Access control list is based on the networks devices’ MAC address. Just specify network
device MAC address and it’s access policy (accept/deny) with new rule in the Access control table.
Click the Add New Rule button and define new specific rule in the following page:
Gemtek Systems Page 27
Figure 188 – Add New ACL Rule
• Specify the MAC address of the device you want to add to the ACL. The format is a list of colon
separated hexadecimal numbers (for example: 00:00:78:0A:CD:FF).
• Select the Target of the rule, whether the specified network device should be allowed or denied
as an Access Points client.
Firewall Settings
The firewall settings allow to specify IP packet filters to enhance the data security. The firewall takes
effect between LAN and WAN and is supposed to avoid forbidden intrusion to your local network. The
firewall rules are divided into Input and Output (in AP router operating mode) or Prerouting (in AP
mode) rules to assign special procedures to a certain data transmission direction.
Gemtek Systems Page 28
Figure 19 – Firewall Settings
On the main firewall settings page you will find one table for input, output or prerouting rules and a
switch to enable or disable the firewall. Within the tables you can insert new rules, modify existing
ones, delete rules and change their position by moving up or down.
The position of a rule within the list is very important, because the list is worked through from top to
down. If a packet is dropped in the first lines by a very general rule, it does not help to accept it further
down with a more specific rule. So please check the rules right position after defining or modifying
them.
To specify a new firewall rule please click Add New Rule and choose type of rule, it’s source,
destination parameters.
Gemtek Systems Page 29
Figure 190 – Add New Firewall Rule
Target – this implementation of firewall control supports two types of rules – Accept and Drop. The
appropriate policy defines what to do if the data packet received matches the rule.
Source IP Address – source IP address.
Source Netmask – source netmask IP address.
Source Port(s) – can be specified in two ways: “All” or a given port range.
Destination IP Address – specified the same as Source IP.
Destination Netmask – specified the same as source netmask.
Destination Port(s) – specified the same as Source port.
Protocol – network protocol, which affects the rule. Can be specified as one of TCP/UDP/ICMP or
“any”.
ICMP Type – if ICMP network protocol is selected, then the appropriate protocol type can be chosen.
Leave the Source/Destination IP and Netmasks fields empty if you want to specify it
as “any”.

Isolation Settings
Figure 201 -- Layer 2 Isolation
Routing Settings
Routing Settings is available when the access point is in AP-Router operation
mode.
Opening the page you will find a list of all present routes, each consisting of the related interface, the
destination IP address, the gateway and the subnet mask. The default values in this list are generated
from your current IP settings in the Network Configuration Settings menu.
The routing list shows, how the router will handle data packets received on an interface at destination
to a specific IP address. In this example, all data received on the Ethernet interface with an
destination IP address in the 192.168.2.0 network will be forwarded to the default gateway. All other
data packets received on the Ethernet interface will be forwarded to the gateway 192.168.2.1.
If there is more than one route specified for one destination, the metric value shows the priority, how
the router will try the routes. The metric value indexes the number of gateways between sender and
destination.
Gemtek Systems Page 31
Figure 212 – Static Routing Settings
To create a new static route please click Add New Route and select the related interface
(Ethernet/wireless), specify destination, netmask and gateway IP, and metric values. Click the Save
Route to add new static route in the Routing table.
Figure 223 -- Add Static Route
Destination, Netmask and Gateway are required parameters to specify.
DHCP Settings
The DHCP server settings specify, which IP addresses are assigned to the DHCP clients in the LAN.
For a P-380 in AP router mode, these are the mobile wireless stations or P-380 devices in client
router mode with DHCP client function enabled.
Gemtek Systems Page 32
Figure 234 – DHCP Settings
Port Forwarding Settings
Port Forwarding Settings is available when the access point is in AP-Router
operation mode.
Port forwarding service provides access to computers in the LAN with dedicated services by
overriding the NAT (Network Address Translation) feature. Example of such services could be a web
server on a computer in the LAN, which should be open to public access for testing purposes. The
administrator can define the port of the application, which should be open to public access, the LAN
IP address of the computer running the service and a destination port, which is used in the router to
override the network address translation.
In the Port Forwarding Settings main page you can add, modify or delete forwarding rules.
Figure 245 -- Port Forwarding Settings
To specify a new port forwarding rule please click Add New Rule and insert the port type, the local
port, the destination IP address and the destination:
Gemtek Systems Page 33
Figure 256 – Add Port Forwarding Rule
In this example, all requests to the P-360 on port 25 will be redirected to the IP address 192.168.2.28
on port 1445.
Port forwarding is a kind of reverse function to IP masquerading. Hence this
function can take effect only when NAT is enabled! Please refer to your firewall
settings to check if the port forwarding settings are suitable.
Administrator’s Settings
You can change the Administrator’s password using this Administrator Settings menu.

Click the Refresh button if you want to renew the connected clients statistic.
Loopback Test
The loopback test is used for wireless link diagnostics. The loopback test graphically shows the data
transfer rate in Mb/s between the P-360 and a specified wireless network device. The transfer rate is
measured by sending an ICMP stream to the specific device. Data is refreshed every 10 seconds.
Gemtek Systems Page 40
Figure 346 – Loopback Test
To start the loopback test, do the following:
Endpoint IP – specify the device’s IP address, whose transfer rate needs to be measured.
Start – click to start measuring the specified wireless link.
The status line will show the last measured data transfer rate and the time when this data was
received from the wireless network device.
To stop loopback test simply click the Stop button.
SNMP Settings
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) can be configured using the SNMP Settings. Several
Read-Only and Read-Write communities can be specified here. The Community strings are used for
SNMP authentication purposes. It is possible to allow or deny IP address groups from accessing the
P-360 using SNMP. To add new Read-Only or Read-Write community, click the Add New Rule next
to appropriate table.
Gemtek Systems Page 41
Figure 357 – SNMP Settings (1)
The following parameters should be entered to create new SNMP community:
Figure 368 – Add New SNMP Community
Community String – community name for (read-only/read-write) access.
Allow Community Access from IP – IP address/netmask for (read-only/read-write) community.
Allow Mib-view – specify MIB ???
IP address and netmask combination of 0.0.0.0/32 means “ANY” IP address can
connect. Access can be controlled for one specified IP (for example
192.168.2.100/32) or by a range (for example 192.168.2.0/24 for IP numbers
192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254).

Site Survey
The site survey test shows overview information for wireless networks in a local geography. Using this
test, users can scan for working access points, check their operating channels and see signal/noise
levels. To start the scan simply select the Site Survey menu.
Figure 381 – Site Survey
The available access points are listed in the table by MAC address and SSID. To refresh the statistics
click the Rescan button.
Monitoring
The Monitoring function shows Received/Transmitted bytes statistics per device.
These statistics show a five-minute average traffic rate over the last 24 hours period. RX (blue)
indicates incoming (Received) traffic and TX (red) indicates outgoing (Transmitted) traffic.
TX/RX monitoring is restarted on every reboot of the device. The reason is that the device has no real
time clock, so the time used is relative to the restart time. The first statistics appear as two points, five
minutes after the device has been restarted. A normal view is acquired 10 minutes after the P-360
reboots. First click the Show button to view the initial TX/RX statistics in the browser window. Click
the Refresh button instead of the Show button to get updated TX/RX statistics.
You can also change the TX/RX graph time interval. There are two drop-down menus used for this
purpose:
• The first one is used to choose the start hour of the interval. It is possible to choose any hour from
the last 24 hours (0-24), but the choice may be limited depending on the devices reboot time.
• The second drop-down is used to choose the time scale. The possible choices are from 0 to a
maximum of 23 hours.
For example: select time interval from 21 interval of 3 (time scale). Such selection shows graphic
starting from 21 hour after the device is started and up to 3 next hours. Following the same logic:
Select from 0 interval of 24 – full TX/RX graphic is displayed.
Selecting from 24 interval of 1 – the last hour TX/RX graphic is displayed.
Gemtek Systems Page 44
Figure 392 – Monitoring Test
RX – Received Kbytes per selected interval.
TX – Transmitted Kbytes per selected interval.
Upgrade
This function is used to update the current firmware version to a new one. If there is need to change
the firmware, a valid firmware file must be selected first by clicking the Browse button.
Gemtek Systems Page 45
Figure 403 – Upgrade Firmware
After selecting a valid firmware version file, click the Upgrade button to proceed. The upgrade
process begins.
Do not switch off and do not disconnect P-360 from power supply during firmware
update process because the device could be damaged. Best use Ethernet
connection (not wireless) for firmware update process.
After a successful upgrade process, the device firmware is upgraded, the Main Menu page is
displayed, and the previous device configuration set is maintained.
Reboot
Use the Reboot function to stop all working device functions and restart the device.

Reboot – click the button to restart device.

Reset Device
Figure 425 -- Reset Device to Defaults
Keep in mind that resetting the device is an irreversible process. The confirmation
message appears before starting the reset process. Read it carefully and confirm
as described. You must enter the administrator password to perform the reset
function. Please note that even the password will be set back to the factory default!
The device is restarted. All previous device configuration settings will be erased and the factory
default values applied. You can find the factory default values in the applendix.

Introduction
CLISH (Command Line Interface Shell) software is a configuration shell for Wi-Fi “Hot-Spot in a Box”
Access Point device (P360). Using the CLISH interface the operator can:
configure all essential Wi-Fi “Hot-Spot in a Box” configuration settings;
show system and network statistics;
use system tools, such as Site Survey.
This manual describes the CLISH software command line interface and the command set available
from the shell.
Usage
CLISH is run by system on user login. This is done to prevent the manual modifying of configuration
files by users that do not know the system well enough. Such modifications can make other software
to function incorrectly thus disabling essential services. CLISH checks if arguments are correct and
only then modifies configuration settings.
The password for CLISH is the same as user’s system password. If user is not a ‘root’ user, he/she
will not be able to change settings, only to view them.
The Command Line Interface of CLISH does not take much getting used to. In key and key
combinations, it resembles the familiar interface of most common UNIX shells.
When the <TAB> key is pressed, the current word under the cursor is completed to full length, unless
if there are multiple possibilities. Pressing the question mark ‘?’ – will show content-sensitive help
about the available options. Other available key combinations in CLISH mode are listed in the table
bellow:
