Cover the following interface Choose which interfaces to be covered from (Ethernet Adapter: eth0, eth1, Master ORing and Custom Interface). Clicking Edit will bring you to the following interface. Interface – LAN Common Configuration This section provides several configuration tags. This configuration file is responsible for defining switch VLANs, interface configurations and network routes. Below is an overview of the section types that may be defined in the network configuration. A minimal network configuration for a router usually consists of at least two interfaces (lan and wan) and a switch section if applicable.Any change in the Network Configuration requires a Save and Apply in order for the changes to be applied to the system. Once the "Save & Apply" button is clicked, the system will save the current configuration automatically. General Setup Label Description Status Shows a summary of the current LAN port status, which includes uptime, MAC address, received bytes and packets, transmitted
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 23bytes and packets, and IPv4 address. Protocol This specifies the interface protocol.Static address is necessary if other devices obtain internet connection through this device. The interface protocol may be one of the following: Static address: static configuration with fixed address and netmask DHCP client: address and netmask are assigned by DHCP Unmanaged: unspecified protocol, PPP - PPP protocol - dialup modem connections PPtP: connection via PPtP VPN PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet - DSL broadband connection, PPPoATM: PPP over ATM - DSL connection using a builtin modem UMTS/GPRS/EV-DO: protocol 3G, CDMA, UMTS or GPRS connection using an AT-style 3G modem, L2TP: Layer 2 Tunneling protocol. Default is specified as Static address. IPv4 address Sets the IP address of the device (e.g. 192.168.21.1), where you can access the router's configuration web page. IPv4 netmask Sets the subnet mask e.g. 255.255.255.0. The IP address and netmask together determine the subnet or network ID (e.g. 192.168.21.0/24). Two devices must be in the same subnet in order to establish a (Layer 2) link between them. IPv4 gateway Specifies the IP address of the remote router that allows the device's shell to gain internet access. IPv4 broadcast Specifies the IPv4 broadcast address, optional. Use custom DNS servers Configures the IP address of the DNS servers. The computers in thesame subnet as this device can then set this device'sIP address as their preferred DNS server to obtain the same DNS service. Advanced Setting The following are options in the Advanced Settingssection tab. Some of these options are shown, depending on the protocol being used.
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 24 Label Description Bring up on boot Check the box tomake sure that your new swap space is activated while booting up computer Override MAC address Allows you to specify a different MAC address other than the router's original MAC address. This is useful if the ISP uses the MAC address of a router to identify a customer. Suppose that the router needs to be replaced. The new router can take on the MAC address of the previous router in order to continue having internet access. Override MTU Sets the maximum transmission unit(MTU), the default being 1500 bytes. Unless, your ISP requires, it is not recommended to change this setting. Use gateway metric Allows you to specify a gateway metric. This acts as a cost for choosing the gateway when a connected device has to select between multiple available gateways. The gateway with the smallest metric is chosen. Physical Setting Label Description Bridge interfaces Check to create a bridge over specified interface Enable STP Enables the Spanning Tree Protocol on this bridge. It is unchecked by default. Interface Chooses which physical interface to use for the WAN zone. This can be the Ethernet Adapter“eth0” or “eth1” that corresponds to each of the two ports on the device for example. It could also be
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 25set as the Wireless Network. If no Interface is selected, all interfaces would be within the LAN zone. Firewall Setting Label Description Create/Assign firewall-zone This field chooses the firewall zone you want to assign to this interface. Select unspecified to remove the interface from the associated zone or fill out the create field to define a new zone and attach the interface to it. The default is set to lan. DHCP Server The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized networking protocol used by servers on an IP network to allocate IP addresses automatically to client devices.It is recommended to enable the DHCP server because network address translation (NAT) occurs between the WAN zone and the LAN zone. Devices or computers that connect to this hotspot router can then obtain their IP addresses automatically. In addition, the default gateway IP address and the DNS server IP address are automatically configured for these connected devices.If the DHCP server is left disabled, it is still possible for devices to connect to the hotspot. Each device would need a unique static IP address on the same subnet as this hotspot router. Set the default gateway and DNS server for the device both to be the IP address of this hotspot router. General Setup Label Description Ignore interface Disables DHCP for this interface. You should uncheck this to enable DHCP. Start Specifies the lowest leased address as offset from the network
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 26address, the default being 100. Limit Sets the maximum number of leased addresses, the default being 150. Leasetime States the expiry time of leased addresses, the default being 12h. Advanced Settings Label Description Dynamic DHCP Dynamically allocates DHCP addresses for clients. If disabled, only clients having static leases will be served. Checked by default. Force Forces DHCP on this network even if another server is detected, unchecked by default. IPv4-Netmask Overrides the netmask sent to clients. Normally it is calculated from the subnet that is served. DHCP-Options Defines additional DHCP options, forexample "6,192.168.2.1,192.168.2.2" which advertises different DNS servers to clients. Normally,connected devices would take this board's IP address as the default gateway. To set an alternative default gateway, add the DHCP option "3,192.168.2.3" for example. 5.5.2 Wifi This section contains the section tabs for General Setup, Wireless Security, MAC-Filter, and Advanced Settings.

The frequency channel may also be manually selected. An AP and its station must have the same channel in order to communicate. Transmit Power Chooses the transmit power of theradio. This is the total power supplied to the antennas of theradio. The maximum power also depends on the frequency channel used.
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 31 Label Description Mode Chooses the wireless standard used. 802.11g isan older standard while 802.11n is a newer standard that offers higherdata rates. The choice of 802.11g+n is a combination of 802.11g and 802.11n, and operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. HT Mode Allows the network to use both 20 MHz and 40 MHz bands. Required on AP side primarily to support co-existence. The station can also send intolerant bit status to AP to signal use of 20 MHz channel. The station will follow the AP's channel bonding and channel switching HT 20/40 mechanism. Disabling this setting forces the use of 40 MHz bandwidth/channel bonding, and results in high data rate. Country Code Selects the country. Each country hasits own transmit power and frequency regulations. To ensure regulatory compliance, you must select the country where the device is operating in. The transmit power levels for each channel are tuned accordingly. Distance Optimization Specifies the distance between the AP and the station. Min is 300 meters and Max is 12000 (80MHz), 24000 (40MHz), 48000 (20MHz). This value may be set to slightly more than the physical distance between the AP and the farthest station. Fragmentation Threshold Specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. The range is 256-2346 bytes, or “off”. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance.The use of fragmentation can increase the reliability of frame transmissions. Becausesmaller frames are sent, collisions are much less likely to occur. However lower values of the Fragmentation Threshold will result lower throughput as well.
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 32Little or no modification of the Fragmentation Threshold value is recommended as the default setting of 2346 is optimum for most wireless networks. RTS/CTS Threshold Determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an access point, helps control traffic flow. The range is 0-2347bytes, or "off". The default value is 2347,which means that RTS is disabled.RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) is the mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden terminal problem. RTS/CTS packet size threshold is 0-2347 bytes. If the packet size the node wants to transmit is larger than the threshold, the RTS/CTS handshake gets triggered. If the packet size is equal to or less than threshold the data frame gets sent immediately.System uses Request to Send/Clear to Send frames for the handshake which provide collision reduction for access point with hidden stations. The stations are sending anRTS frame first while data is sent only after handshake with an AP is completed. Stations respond with the CTS frame to the RTS, which provides clear media for the requesting station to send the data. CTS collision control management has time interval defined during which all the other stations hold off the transmission and wait until the requesting station will finish transmission. Label Description Mode Selects whether the device is operating as anAccess Point (AP) or a Station. Other options are Access Point WDS and Station WDS. ESSID Specifies the name or extended service set identifier (ESSID) of the wireless network as it is provided in the beacon message. The network namecan be up to 32 characters in length and cancontainspaces. When running in AP mode, it is the name of the network as advertised in the beacon message. In Station mode, it is the network name that the station associates with.
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 33Hide ESSID Hides the network name (ESSID) from being broadcast publicly. (This option is for a device operating as an AP.) WMM Mode Provides Quality of Service (QoS) features, checked by default. Wireless multimedia enables the classification of the network traffic into 4 main types, voice, video, best effort, and background, in decreasing order of priority. Higher priority traffic has a higher transmission opportunity and would have to wait less time to transmit. As a result, an existing video stream would not be interrupted by additional background processes. Label Description Encryption Choose an encryption method from the drop-down list. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the oldest and least secure encryption algorithm. Stronger encryption using WPA or WPA2 should be used where possible.For the WEP Open System and WEP Shared Keyencryptions, you can specify up to 4 keys and only 1 would be used at a time. Used Key Slot: Chooses between Key #1 to Key #4.Key 1 ~ Key 4: Specifies a string of characters to be used asthe password. It may consist of 5 ASCII characters or10 HEX characters, implying a 64-bit WEP key length. Otherwise, it may consist of 13 ASCII or 26 HEX characters, implying a 128-bit key length. Wifi protected access (WPA) is a stronger encryptionthan WEP.Furthermore, WPA2 was developed to strengthen the security of WPA and is stronger than WPA and WEP.Cipher: Can be set to CCMP (AES), TKIP, or TKIP and CCMP (AES). The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) was developed as a temporary replacement for WEP. The Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is the most secure protocol.
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 34Key: The pre-shared key (PSK) is the password for the wireless network. This may consist of 8 to 63 ASCII characters.

Ping
IAP-W420/W422 UserManual ORingIndustrial Networking Corp 35A simple ping of the server checks to see if it’s responding.If there are serious server problems, a ping will either time out, or run very slowly. If you are able to find the server via DNS, but can’t get a ping response from it, this would point to an error with either the physical server, or a fault in the network that connects the client and server. Traceroute Traceroutewill try to follow the path that connects the client and server. In the case where the client can findbut is unable to connect to your server, the Traceroutewill help locate the cause of the error. This test is useful for identifying when specific data centers or CDN locations are having issues. Note: Traceroute is an imperfect test because many nodes in the network will not respond tothe trace route calls, and those nodes will show as timeouts. Nslookup Nslookupwill identify where the URL for the server points to. This command will check to determine what IP address the name server is pointing to for your URL. This tool will help identify if the name servers encounters conflicts, propagation errors, or specific locations that have trouble finding the server.
