in operation of this product. Please keep this manual for future reference.

Overview of this User’s Guide

Introduction. Describes the 802.11a/b/g/n Dual Band WLAN Access Point and its

features.

Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of the

802.11a/b/g/n Dual Band WLAN Access Point.

Hardware Installation. Describes the LED indicators of the AP.

Configuring the Wireless LAN Access Point. Provides instructions on how to

configure the AP and it’s features.

Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental)

specifications of the 802.11a/b/g/n Dual Band WLAN Access Point.

INTRODUCTION

The 300Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Access Point (TEW-670APB) creates a high

performance dual band wireless n network with up to 14x the speed and 4x the

coverage of wireless g.

Create a wireless network using either the more common 2.4GHz or the

uncongested low-interference 5GHz wireless radio frequency with Dual Band

wireless n technology.

Extend your wireless network by adding additional wireless access points using the

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) feature. Monitor device status with SNMP v3

reporting. Advanced wireless encryption secures your wireless network. Provide

high speed Dual Band wireless coverage to stream HD media, download files and

surf the Internet.

Features

 Wi-Fi Compliant with IEEE 802.11n (Draft 2.0) , IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11b

and IEEE 802.11a standards.

 Non-concurrent Dual Band architecture: create either a 2.4 or 5Ghz wireless

network.

 Add a wireless network with Access Point mode or expand your network with

Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

 Built in DHCP server allows for IP address distribution on the local network.

 1 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX LAN port

 Supports 64/128-bit WEP(for 11b/g), WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-

PSK

 Allow or restrict wireless access with MAC filtering

 Easy wireless setup via WiFi Protection Setup.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Access Point.

Unpacking

Open the box of the Access Point and carefully unpack it. The box should contain

the following items:

 TEW-670APB

 Multi-Language Quick Installation Guide

 Power Adapter

 CD-Rom (User’s guide)

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for

replacement.

Setup

The setup of the Wireless Access Point can be performed using the following steps:

 Locate an optimum location for the Wireless LAN Access Point (AP). The best

place for your AP is usually the center of your wireless network, with line of

sight to all of your mobile stations.

 Visually inspect the Ethernet RJ45 port connector and make sure that it is fully

plugged in to the system’s Ethernet switch/hub port.

 Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the AP in a position that can best

cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the

better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving

sensitivity.

 Visually inspect if the Power Adapter was fully plugged to the device power

jack.

it is firmly connected to the RJ45 port, while the LAN is linked up to the

Switch/Hub, the LAN port’s LED will light up.

CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT

The Wireless Access Point has a Web GUI interface for easy configurations

through a Web Browser. A network manager can manage, control and monitor the

AP from the local LAN. This section indicates how to configure the AP to enable

its functions.

Before configuring the Wireless AP through WLAN, make sure that the SSID,

Channel and encryption settings are set properly.

The default setting of the Wireless AP that you will use:

 IP address: 192.168.10.100

Before you configure this device, note that when the AP is configured through an

Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same the IP

network. For example, when the default network address of the default IP address

on the AP is 192.168.10.100, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.10.x

(where x is a number excluding 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Open Internet Explorer 6.0 or above Web browser.

Bridge, Repeater modes.

Access Point Mode

Configure the AP to Access Point mode; with this mode, WLAN clients can

access LAN or other WLAN clients through this AP.

AP mode application

Wireless Bridge mode

Configure to the wireless bridge mode; the TEW-670APB will be a LAN to LAN

wireless Ethernet bridge between two separated Ethernet LAN segments.

Note: The Wireless Bridge mode only supports in using two more of the TEW-

670APB.

Wireless Bridge mode application

WDS Wireless Bridge mode configuration

Site Survey: This button allows user to enable the Site Survey function to scan

for the available wireless networks and establish wireless communications with

one. Select one of them listed to establish communications and click “Apply”

button.

Remote AP MAC/SSID: Enter the MAC address and SSID of the opposite AP

here.

Repeater mode

Configure the AP to Repeater mode; the AP will be a wireless LAN repeater that

will extend the WLAN coverage range.

Note: The Wireless Bridge mode only supports using two more of the TEW-

670APB.

Repeater mode application

Repeater mode configuration

Site Survey: This button allows user to enable the Site Survey function to scan

for the available wireless networks and establish wireless communications with

one. Selected one of them listed to establish communications and click “Apply”

button.

Remote AP MAC/SSID: Enter the MAC Address and SSID of the Remote AP

boundary for directed messages. Default is 2346 bytes.

DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication

Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next

window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point

has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the

next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. Access point clients hear the beacons and

awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.

SSID Broadcast: While SSID Broadcast is enabled, all wireless clients will be able

to locate the access point. For secure purpose, user may want to disable SSID

broadcast to allow only those wireless clients with the AP SSID to communicate

with the access point.

WDS: Enabled WDS function allows the TEW-670APB in Bridge mode or

Repeater mode to connect to this TEW-670APB.
