Things You Should Know
What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN) Repeater?
Power of signals generated from an WLAN Access Point (AP) decreases as the signals reach further
distances. To extend the transmission distance without attenuation of power, the frequency must be
regenerated or the power must be increased by a separate device. A WLAN repeater is a device that
regenerates and relays transmitted signals.
WAP-701 User Guide

WAP-701 Functions and Installation Environment
WAP-701 is a wireless repeater that can be used for constructing a wireless network or as a wireless AP.
Installed inside a cell area of an AP or repeater, the WAP-701 retransmits data received from wireless
terminals, such as lap tops and wireless PDAs, located outside the cell area of a neighboring AP, to the AP.
The figure below shows an example of installing WAP-701:

Selecting Location of Installation
The configuration of wireless cells must be determined in order to decide the installation location of WAP-
701. Cell areas are affected by surrounding obstacles such as outer walls, windows and pillars of a building.
Therefore, the product should not be installed in an area isolated from the surrounding environment, such
as inside of a communication room or in a enclosed location. In addition, the product should be installed
within a cell area not exceeding 30 ~ 40m from the nearest Root AP as shown in Figure 1.1.

Preparation
Main Function
WLAN Access
WAP-701 provides a WLAN interface in accordance with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, and can connect to
wireless terminals that support this standard.
Security
WAP-701 supports Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption
schemes for WLAN security. WAP-701 supports 64/128/152 bit key encryption for WEP, which conforms
to the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. WPA supports an authentication scheme that satisfies Pre-Shared Key
(PSK) and IEEE 802.1x, and supports encryption using TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Ethernet Access
WAP-701 provides a DIX 2 interface in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard, and can access Ethernet
WAP-701 User Guide
13
that supports this standard. WAP-701 can also perform Logical Link Control/Subnetwork Access Protocol
(LLC/SNAP) functions when necessary.
Bridge
WAP-701 provides a IEEE 802.11D standard bridge function, which connects WLAN and Ethernet. MAC
addresses of wireless terminals and Ethernet terminals can be registered to each port and updated every 5
seconds.
Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP)
This function is used to support roaming within a subnet by exchanging access information of a wireless
terminal between APs. This function roams a mobile unit to another AP when the mobile unit moves from
an area of one AP to that of another AP within a same subnet or when the AP to which the mobile unit is
registered becomes inoperable.
Roaming
When a mobile unit receiving service from an AP moves to another area outside the coverage of the AP, this
function maintains the service by automatically registering the mobile unit to the AP of the new area.
DHCP Server/Relay
WAP-701 provides Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and relay function. If a mobile unit
WAP-701 User Guide
14
needs to receive an IP address from a DHCP server located outside the subnet of the mobile unit, WAP-
701 enables the mobile unit to receive the IP address by performing DHCP server or Relay Agent function.
Auto Channel Selection
WAP-701 can automatically select a channel that has the least frequency interference.
Transmission Power Control
WAP-701 supports transmission power control to enable efficient WLAN design. This function can be used
to adjust the power level in accordance with the size of a cell.
AAA and Billing
By loading a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) client function, WAP-701can perform
authentication for IEEE 802.1X standard Extensible Authentication Protocol-Message Digest version 5
(EAP-MD5) and MAC. WAP-701also provides usage based, time based, and packet based billing schemes
by supporting RADIUS Accounting function.
( Power off/Out of range/Deattachment) POD
If a the power of a mobile unit is turned off, if the WLAN card is separated from a mobile unit, or if a mobile
unit moves out of a cell coverage, WAP-701detects the disconnection and stops the billing process.
WAP-701 User Guide
15
Management
WAP-701 can be managed remotely through a remote server supporting SNMP standard or through the
built-in WEB server function.
Management through Remote Server
WAP-701 can be managed from a remote server (Network Management Server: NMS) that supports SNMP
standard. WAP-701 supports MIB I, II, 802.11
MIB standard.
Management through WEB Server
WAP-701contains a WEB server function that can be used for managing status and configuring functions
through the WEB server connection.
Management through Telnet
You can also manage the status and configure functions of WAP-701through Telnet.
QoS
WAP-701 provides different priorities for various data types based on IEEE 802.11e, and can interwork
with Type Of Service (TOS)/ Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP). Users can set the interworking
WAP-701 User Guide
16
relation with TOS/DSCP and the priority of a mobile unit based on the MAC Address.
Easy Software Upgrade
Users can easily upgrade the WAP-701 software by downloading firmware through the FTP server or TFTP
client.
Additional Functions
MAC Filtering and NAT are provided as additional functions.
MAC Filtering
You can enable or disable service for a terminal whose MAC address is registered to WAP-701.
NAT
This function is used for converting an internal IP address to a public IP address for sending packets from
an internal network that does not use public IP addresses to an external network.

Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to problems that may occur while using AP. If a problem not metioned in this
section occurs, please visit the after-sales service centor or our homepage for assistance.
Wireless access to AP is disabled.
−
First, check the IP address of the AP. The IP address is set to 192.168.111.10 by default but can be changed
by users.
−
Check the SSID of the AP.
−
Check if the Security function of the AP is enabled by selecting
‘
Security
’
from the
‘
Wireless
’
menu.
−
Check if the terminal attempting connection to AP is too far from the AP or in a shadow area.
−
If the above items are all normal, check if the AP and antenna are properly connected.
