![User’s Guide Chapter 4 – Reference Manual IP Address – specify the access point’s IP address [digit and dots]. When shipped from the factory or reset to factory settings, the AP defaults to a static IP address of 192.168.2.2. Subnet Mask – specify the access point’s subnet mask [digit and dots]. When shipped from the factory or reset to factory settings, the AP defaults to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Gateway – specify the IP address of the access point’s gateway [digit and dots]. When shipped from the factory or reset to factory settings, the AP defaults to a gateway IP address of 192.168.2.1. If you change the IP address manually, make sure that the chosen IP address is unused and belongs to the same IP subnet as your wired LAN, otherwise you will loose the connection to the P-520 from your current PC. If you enable the DHCP client via a Web browser, the browser will loose the connection after rebooting, because the IP address assigned by the DHCP server is not predictable. If Dynamic is selected the static IP settings are displayed but have no affect on the network configuration. The dynamic IP address and gateway address as assigned by the DHCP server are applied to the system after restart. To find your P-520 with dynamic IP settings use a utility such as Gemtek Systems KickStart. Configuration | Local Area Network | Virtual LAN A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a mechanism to segregate devices or groups of devices on the same physical LAN. P-520 allows the definition of a VLAN by a VLAN identifier. If you enable the VLAN functionality in the menu Configuration | Local Area Network | Virtual LAN all traffic from the wireless LAN to the LAN will be tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Incoming traffic from the wired LAN not tagged with the appropriate VLAN ID is discarded by the AP. Figure 24 – Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Settings To define a VLAN membership on the access point, select the checkbox and enter the VLAN identifier: Figure 25 – Enable Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) VLAN id – specify the ID for your VLAN network [1 to 4094].

You are not allowed to select radio channels and RF output power values other the permitted values for your country and regulatory domain. See also appendix B) Regulatory Domain/Channels. Regulatory Domain – displays the regulatory domain according selected country [ETSI/FCC]. Not configurable. IAPP – select this checkbox to enable seamless roaming of client stations between P-520 APs. By using the Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) roaming, a client can be hand-over between access points when changing its physical location. The IAPP protocol is used to ensure all relevant session information is delivered to the new AP to which the client is moving. IAPP roaming is compatible with other Gemtek Systems products. Look at the scheme for more details about IAPP roaming: Gemtek Systems Page 40](https://usermanual.wiki/GemTek-Technology/AP930301G.User-Manual/User-Guide-415577-Page-40.png)
![User’s Guide Chapter 4 – Reference Manual IAPP RoamingAP1AP2ClientRADIUS Server Figure 27 – IAPP Roaming Scheme The wireless client is switched from AP1 to AP2 when entering the coverage area of the new access point (AP2). The roaming is performed without client re-authentication. The IAPP protocol ensures to inform the old AP1 of the new client association. The AP1 then stops the client RADIUS session, and the AP2 starts the client’s session with the RADIUS. IAPP roaming requires that all access points share the same SSID. Wireless Network Name (SSID) – is a unique name for your wireless network [1-32 symbols]. The default SSID is "P520" but you should change this to a personal wireless network name. The SSID is important for client stations when connecting to the access point. All client stations must have their client SSID settings configured and must use the same SSID. Band – click on the change policy… link and choose the policy of internal radio mode [Mixed/G-only/B-only]. Changing the radio policy could result in a loss of your connection when you are using a wireless connection. Radio Channel – select the channel that the access point uses to transmit and receive information. Multiple frequency channels are used to avoid interference between nearby access points. If you wish to operate more than one access point 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, 6 and 11. Before changing radio settings manually, verify that these settings comply with your national regulations. At all times, it is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that the installation complies with local radio regulations. Refer to the appendix, B) Regulatory Domain/Channels for more details. Click on the autochannel… link and a pop-up window with auto channel settings will appear. You can now select a list of preferred channels: Gemtek Systems Page 41](https://usermanual.wiki/GemTek-Technology/AP930301G.User-Manual/User-Guide-415577-Page-41.png)
![User’s Guide Chapter 4 – Reference Manual Configuration | Wireless | Advanced Settings For normal operation the following default settings do not need to be modified. Changing the P-520 advanced settings requires expert knowledge of the 802.11 protocol and the radio functionality. The configuration menu Configuration | Wireless | Advanced Settings allows administrators to change low level radio parameters: Figure 32 – Advanced Wireless Settings Operational Rate Set – this setting specifies the set of Supported and Basic data rates at which the station may transmit data. Each rate shall be within the range from 2 to 127, corresponding to data rates in increments of 500 kb/s from 1 Mb/s to 63.5 Mb/s, and shall be supported for receiving data. This value is reported in transmitted Beacon, Probe Request, Probe Response, Association Request, Association Response, Reassociation Request, and Reassociation Response frames, and is used to determine whether a BSS with which the station desires to synchronize is suitable. Operational rate set is defined as hexadecimal string where highest bit of each digit represents if Supported rate is the Basic rate (basic rate = supported rate | 0x80, where “|” means “bitwise or” operation). Beacon Period – this setting specifies the amount of time between beacons in milliseconds. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the access point to synchronize the wireless network. RTS Threshold – this setting specifies the maximum packet size beyond which the Wireless LAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits packets smaller than this threshold without using RTS/CTS [[0-2347] default: 2347 (2347 means that RTS is disabled)]. Fragmentation Threshold – the fragmentation threshold, specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented [[256-2346] default: 2346 (2346 means that fragmentation is disabled)]. Cancel – to restore all previous values. Apply – to save changed configuration. Configuration | Security | Wireless Security | Client Isolation Use the Configuration | Security | Wireless Security| Client Isolation menu to configure the layer 2 user isolation feature. Select the Use Client Isolation checkbox to enable Layer 2 wireless client separation. In this case connected wireless stations are not able to communicate with each other.

![User’s Guide Chapter 4 – Reference Manual Configuration | Security | Wireless Security | Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Wi-Fi Protected Access provides a higher level of protection for wireless LAN client stations as it includes methods for mutual authentication, strong encryption, and data integrity. WPA takes the original master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys dynamically from this master key. WPA regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used twice. Key exchange is done automatically transparent to the user. To enable the WPA security for your WLAN you need: An access point that has WPA support like the Gemtek Systems P-520 A wireless network card with WPA ready driver A supplicant that supports WPA (e.g. Windows XP client) To configure the WPA with pre-shared key security on the P-520 use the Configuration | Security | Wireless Security| Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) menu, select the WPA with pre-shared key security method and enter the shared secret: Figure 42 – WPA with Pre-shared Key Settings Pre-shared Key – specify the pre-shared key for WPA security [8-63 characters]. Re-enter Pre-shared Key – re-enter pre-shared key to verify its accuracy. The pre-shared key must match the one configured on your WLAN client stations. Back – return to the main Wireless Security Settings page. Cancel – restore all previous values. Apply – save changed configuration. WPA with RADIUS server makes use of external AAA (RADIUS) server to generate and exchange dynamic WPA keys between P-520 and the client stations. To configure WPA with a RADIUS server select the WPA with RADIUS server security method radio button and enter the Group Key Rekey settings: Gemtek Systems Page 54](https://usermanual.wiki/GemTek-Technology/AP930301G.User-Manual/User-Guide-415577-Page-54.png)
