Applications • Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution. • Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks • The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses, • Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small network. • Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks: • Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange information between peers and easily access information for learningpurposes. Wireless LAN (WLAN) productsare easy to install and highly efficient.The following list describes some of the many applications made possiblethrough the power and flexibility of WLANsin more open areas within a building; auditoriums, amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, ortemporary offices where one wants either a permanent or temporary Wireless LAN established. Devices like the SWE 2520 enable networkadministrators, installers, and end-users to extend the range and reach of an existing Ethernet-based network. environments thatchange frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.). • Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in Point-of-Sale Employees,and/or Warehouse Workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information. 3

• Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the SWE 2520. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can also diminish wireless signal strength. • Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the SWE 2520’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.Before You Begin Considerations for Wireless Installation• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the SWE 2520 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength. This section will guide you through the installation process.Placement of the Siselectron SWE 2520 is essential to maximize the Access Point’s performance. Avoid placingthe SWE 2520 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell. The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number,thickness,andlocationofwalls,ceilings,or otherobjects that the SWE 2520’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key guidelines for allowing the SWE 2520 to have an optimal wireless range during setup. 6

Once you have entered the correct username and password, click the Login button to open the web-based configuration page. 3. If successful, you will be logged in and see the SWE 2520 User Menu.13
The SWE 2520 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the SWE 2520. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the SWE 2520 behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the SWE 2520. The SWE 2520 supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access. 14
WDS AP Mode The SWE 2520 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the SWE 2520 using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses. 15
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWE 2520 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each SWE 2520 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the SWE 2520 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point because Access Points linked by WDS use the same frequency channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can also be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree feature to prevent this from happening. You can find information about the Spanning Tree Function on page 29. 16
Overview The Overview section contains the following options: • Device Status • Connections The following sections describe these options: Device Status Clicking the Device Status link under the Overview menu shows the status information about the current operating mode. Note: VLAN ID is only applicable in Access Point or WDS AP mode. • The LAN Information section under the Connections link shows the Local Area Network settings such as the LAN IP Address, Subnet mask, Gateway, DNS Address, DHCP Client, and STP status. • The Current 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wireless Settings section under the Basic link under the Network menu shows wireless information such as Operation Modes, Frequency, and Channel. Since the SWE 2520 supports multiple-SSIDs, information about each SSID and security settings are displayed. Note: Profile Settings is only applicable in Access Point or WDS AP mode.• The Device Status section shows general system information such as Device Name, MAC address, Current Time, Firmware Version, and Management VLAN ID. 17
Connections The SWE 2520 automatically logs (records) events of possible interest in its internal memory. To view the logged information, click the Connections link under the Device Status menu. If there is not enough internal memory to log all events, older events are deleted from the log. When powered down or rebooted, the log will be cleared. Click Refresh to refresh the Connections List page.18
Operation Modes The SWE 2520 supports three operation modes: Access Point, WDS AP, and WDS Bridge. Device Settings To access operation mode, click the Wireless link under the Network menu.

A VLAN is a group of computers on a network whose software has been configured so that they behave as if they were on a separate Local Area Network (LAN). Computers on VLAN do not have to be physically located next to one another on the LAN. To configure VLAN tags, you must first isolate and enter a VID before enabling a VLAN under the Management VLAN ID. Note: Only applicable in Access Point and WDS AP mode. Profile Isolation: Restrict clients from communicating with different VIDs by checking the Isolation box for the SSID you wish to select under the Wireless Settings funtion. VLAN ID (VID): Specifies the VLAN tag for each profile. Management VLAN ID: If your network includes VLANs, you can specify a VLAN ID for packets pass through the Access Point with a tag. Otherwise, select No VLAN Tag. Save: Click Save to confirm the changes. Note: If you reconfigure the Management VLAN ID, you may lose your connection to the SWE 2520. Verify that the DHCP server supports the reconfigured VLAN ID, then reconnect to the SWE 2520 using the new IP address.35
