Basic access point operation settings, such as the protocol and channels used, as well
as scanning interval and other advanced settings, can be defined and managed in this
section.
AP Settings
Protocol
Choose 802.11ng or 802.11na as your access point’s Wi-Fi protocol.
The AP One AC mini provides the 802.11ng protocol for the 2.4 GHz band and the
802.11ac protocol for the 5GHz band, as shown below.
Operating
Country
This drop-down menu specifies the national / regional regulations the AP should follow.
• If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be available and the
maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400 mW).
• If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The maximum
transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in the
US. All US models are fixed to US channels only.
Channel Bonding
There are three options: 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 20/40 MHz. With this feature enabled,
the Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
The AP One AC mini offers channel bonding options for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands,
as shown below. In addition to 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 20/40 MHz, the 5Ghz band offers
80Mhz, which is the default setting.

Advanced
Management
VLAN ID
This field specifies the VLAN ID to tag to management traffic, such as AP-to-AP
controller communication traffic. The value is 0 by default, meaning that no VLAN tagging
will be applied. NOTE: change this value with caution as alterations may result in loss of
connection to the AP controller.
Spanning Tree
Protocol
Checking this box enables spanning tree protocol, used to prevent loops in bridged
Ethernet LANs
Scheduled
Reboot
When this box is checked, your access point can be scheduled to reboot automatically
on a recurring basis, as indicated by the values under the Schedule, Day, and Time
headings.
Ethernet
Speed/Duplex
Select a speed and duplex setting for sending and receiving. When selecting a speed
manually, you can also control whether the access point’s speed will be advertised on
the network by checking or unchecking the Advertise Speed box. When Auto is
selected, your access point will automatically negotiate speeds.
AP Mode
Your access point can act as a bridge or as a router, depending on your selection here.
When Router is selected, you can additionally select whether the access point will
function in NAT or IP Forwarding mode.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
Check to enable the DHCP server feature of your access point. Enabling DHCP is the
best option for most users. The following options will be enabled once you have checked
and enabled the DHCP server.
IP Range
Enter the first and last IP addresses of the range of addresses that your access point will
make available to DHCP clients. The default range is from 192.168.1.100 to
192.168.1.200, with 24-bit subnet mask.
Broadcast
Address
Enter the broadcast address that DHCP clients will use when communicating with the
entire LAN segment. The default value is 192.168.1.255.
Gateway
Enter the default gateway address that DHCP clients will use to access the internet. By
default, this address will be the same as your access point’s IP address on the LAN.
DNS 1/2/3
In DNS 1, enter the IP address of the primary DNS server offered to DNS clients or
accept the default of 192.168.1.1, which is your access point’s address on the LAN. You
can also specify up to two additional DNS servers to use when the primary server is busy
or down.
Lease Time
Specify the length of time that an IP address of a DHCP client remains valid. When an
address lease time has expired, the assigned IP address is no longer valid, and renewal
of the IP address assignment is required. By default, this value is set to one day.
DHCP
Reservation
To reserve certain addresses for specific clients, such as network printers, enter the
device’s MAC Address and a static IP to be assigned to the device. Click to add
the DHCP reservation. To delete a DHCP reservation, click .

as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by your access point via the specified
protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers
setting. Please see below for details on the Port and Servers settings.
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to
automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number of common Internet services
(e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool
drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually modifiable.
Port
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be
configured to behave in one of the following manners:

Once you’ve specified a local ID, click the New Profile button to configure PepVPN.
PepVPN Profile Settings
Enable
Check this box to enable PepVPN.
Name
Enter a name to represent this profile. The name can be any combination of
alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z), underscores (_), dashes (-), and/or non-
leading/trailing spaces ( ).
Encryption
By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES. If Off is selected on both sides of
a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied.
Remote ID
To allow your access point to establish a VPN connection with a specific remote peer
using a unique identifying number, enter the peer’s ID or serial number here.
Authentication
Select By Remote ID Only or Preshared Key to specify the method your access point
will use to authenticate peers. When selecting By Remote ID Only, be sure to enter a
unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.
Pre-shared Key
This optional field becomes available when Pre-shared Key is selected as the VPN
Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared
key used for this particular VPN connection. The VPN connection's session key will be
further protected by the pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared
keys on each side match. Click Hide / Show Passphrase to toggle passphrase
visibility.
Remote IP
Address / Host
Names (Optional)
Optionally, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the
remote client uses more than one address, enter only one of them here. Multiple
hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage return.
Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.
With this field filled, your access point will initiate connection to each of the remote IP
addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, your access
point will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of the two
VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be established.
