Hardware Installation Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the device. You can use the wall mount hole on the bottom of the device to mount the device on the wall, or just put the device on the desktop. The administrator can refer to the figure below while constructing your WLAN environment.
8Ch 2. First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the device by WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and both wired LAN ports. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be accessed by WLAN, LAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254 (for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN). Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment, otherwise it will cause abnormal situation. We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is for finding out the IP of the device. In case, you’ve forgot the IP of the device or the IP of the device has been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device is. Knowing the Network Application The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System) function. z Access Point z WDS mode z Bridge/Router z WISP z AP Client The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of
9device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the types of operation mode. Router The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The other wired Ethernet (LAN) port bridges to the private WLAN. The NAT is existed between WAN and WLAN/LAN and all the wireless and wired clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement. Bridge The two wired Ethernet ports and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled. WISP (Wireless ISP) This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with both the wired Ethernet ports of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless radio to be client mode connecting to the AP of your ISP as the WAN connection and then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement. The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles. AP (Access Point) The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN. AP Client This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect one of the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
10WDS (Wireless Distribution System) This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection. WDS+AP This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the device. The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes. Bridge Router WISP AP V V X WDS V V X Client V X V AP+WDS V V X Hereafter are some topologies of network application for your reference.

28Basic Settings Disable Wireless LAN Interface Disable the wireless interface of device Band: The device supports 2.4GHz(B), 2.4GHz(G) and 2.4GHz(B+G) mixed modes. Mode: The radio of device supports different modes as following: 1. AP The radio of device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network. 2. Client Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter. 3. WDS Wireless Distribution System, this mode joins to a WDS network which combines up to 8 WDS-AP, only devices with WDS function supported can connect to it, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect the device when the mode is selected. 4. AP+WDS Support both AP and WDS functions, the wireless clients and devices with WDS function supported can survey and connect to it.
29z Infrastructure: This type requires the presence of 802.11b/g Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point. EthernetAPAP Client #2AP Client #1 z Ad Hoc: This type provides a peer-to-peer communication between wireless stations. All the communication is done from Client to Client without any Access Point involved. Ad Hoc networking must use the same SSID and channel for establishing the wireless connection. PC #3 PC #2AP Client #1AP Client #2AP Client #3PC #1 In client mode, the device can’t support the Router mode function including Firewall and WAN settings. SSID: The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access point/bridges on a network or sub-network can use the same SSID. SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in your SSID.
30Channel Number The following table is the available frequencies (in MHz) for the 2.4-GHz radio: Channel No. Frequency Country Domain 1 2412 Americas, EMEA, Japan, and China 2 2417 Americas, EMEA, Japan, and China 3 2422 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 4 2427 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 5 2432 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 6 2437 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 7 2442 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 8 2447 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 9 2452 Americas, EMEA, Japan, Israel, and China 10 2457 Americas, EMEA, Japan, and China 11 2462 Americas, EMEA, Japan, and China 12 2467 EMEA and Japan 13 2472 EMEA and Japan 14 2484 Japan only ※ EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa). When set to “Auto”, the device will find the least-congested channel for use. Associated Client Show the information of active wireless client stations that connected to the device.
31Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your device. The default setting is optimized for the normal operation. For specific application, setting configuration will required highly attention to reach optimistic condition. Note： Any unreasonable value change to default setting will reduce the throughput of the device. Authentication Type The device supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. When you select “Share Key”, you need to setup “WEP” key in “Security” page (See the next section). The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can associate with the device by using one of the two types. Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance.
32RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes. Beacon Interval The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacons in mini-seconds. The default beacon interval is 100. ACK Timing Acknowledgement Timing, is the amount of time that device wait client’s response. This concept is related to EIFS (Extended Inter-Frame Space). The EIFS interval shall begin while the device is idle after detection of the erroneous frame. The EIFS is defined to provide enough time for another device to acknowledge what was, to this device, an incorrectly received frame before this device commences transmission. The default setting of ACK timing is 0. You may need to change this value due to the environment or distance. Client Expired Time The client expired time determines time interval the client need to re-associate with the device while client is idle. The default client expired time is 300 sec. MTU Size Maximum Transmission Unit, the default MTU size is 1500. The MTU setting controls the maximum Ethernet packet size your PC will send. Why a limit? Because although larger packets can be constructed and sent, your ISP and Internet backbone routers and equipment will fragment any larger than their limit, then these parts are re-assembled by the target equipment before reading. This fragmentation and re-assembly is not optimal. You may need to change the MTU for optimal performance of your wireless LAN traffic. Data Rate The standard IEEE 802.11b/11g supports 1, 2, 5.5, 11 / 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. You can choose the rate that the device uses for data transmission. The default value is “auto”. The device will use the highest possible selected transmission rate. Broadcast SSID Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically. If you are building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide better security. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device must connect this device by manually configure the
33SSID in your client settings. IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) This function will let Wireless Stations roam among a network environment with multiple devices. Wireless Stations are able to switch from one device to another as they move between the coverage areas. Users can have more wireless working range. An example is as the following figure. You should comply with the following instructions to roam among the wireless coverage areas. Note： For implementing the roaming function, the setting MUST comply the following two items. z All the devices must be in the same subnet network and the SSID must be the same. z If you use the 802.1x authentication, you need to have the user profile in these devices for the roaming station. Block WLAN Relay (Isolate Client) The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public Wireless Network, enable this function can provide better security. The device will block packets between wireless clients (relay). All the wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other. Transmit Power The default transmit power of this device is 26.65dBm for CCK (802.11b) and 21.96dBm for OFDM (802.11g). In case of decrease the wireless distance and coverage of this device, turn down the power level for CCK and OFDM. For CCK, 4 levels are available to turn down the power from default 26.65dBm to 25.65, 24.65, 23.65,22.65dBm. For OFDM, 3 levels are available to turn down the power from default 21.96dBm to 20.96, 19.96, 18.96dBm. If you want to restore the wireless distance and coverage of the device, select a higher level or the default level of transmit power.
34Configuring Wireless Security This device provides complete wireless security function include WEP, 802.1x, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES and WPA2-Mixed in different mode (see the Security Support Table). The default security setting of the encryption function is disabled. Choose your preferred security setting depending on what security function you need. WEP Encryption Setting Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. The WEP setting must be as same as each client in your wireless network. For more secure data transmission, you can change encryption type to “WEP” and click the “Set WEP Key” button to open the “Wireless WEP Key setup” page. When you decide to use the WEP encryption to secure your WLAN, please refer to the following setting of the WEP encryption:
35z 64-bit WEP Encryption：64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP. You can input 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 5 ACSII chars. z 128-bit WEP Encryption ：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. You can input 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 10 ACSII chars. z The Default Tx Key field decides which of the four keys you want to use in your WLAN environment. WEP Encryption with 802.1x Setting The device supports external RADIUS Server that can secure networks against unauthorized access. If you use the WEP encryption, you can also use the RADIUS server to check the admission of the users. By this way every user must use a valid account before accessing the Wireless LAN and requires a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. An example is shown as following. You should choose WEP 64 or 128 bit encryption to fit with your network environment first. Then add user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS server. In the device , you need to specify the IP address、Password (Shared Secret) and Port number of the target RADIUS server.
36 WPA Encryption Setting WPA feature provides a high level of assurance for end-users and administrators that their data will remain private and access to their network restricted to authorized users. You can choose the WPA encryption and select the Authentication Mode. WPA Authentication Mode This device supports two WPA modes. For personal user, you can use the Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. For Enterprise, authentication is achieved via WPA RADIUS Server. You need a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. z Enterprise (RADIUS): When WPA Authentication mode is Enterprise (RADIUS), you have to add user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS Server. In the device , you need to specify the IP address、Password (Shared Secret) and Port number of the target RADIUS server. z Pre-Share Key: This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They must be as same as each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is Passphrase, the key value should have 8~63 ACSII chars. When Key format is Hex, the key value should have 64 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F).
37Configuring as WLAN Client Adapter This device can be configured as a wireless Ethernet adapter. In this mode, the device can connect to the other wireless stations (Ad-Hoc network type) or Access Point (Infrastructure network type) and you don’t need to install any driver. Quick start to configure Step 1. In “Basic Settings” page, change the Mode to “Client” mode. And key in the SSID of the AP you want to connect then press “Apply Changes” button to apply the change. Step 2. Check the state of connection in “Status” web page 1 2 3 4 5
38The alternative way to configure as following: Step 1. In “Wireless Site Survey” page, select one of the SSIDs you want to connect and then press “Connect” button to establish the link. Step 2. If the linking is established successfully. It will show the message “Connect successfully”. Then press “OK”. Step 3. Then you can check the linking information in “Status” page. 12 34
39Note ： If the available network requires authentication and data encryption, you need to setup the authentication and encryption before step1 and all the settings must be as same as the Access Point or Station. About the detail authentication and data encryption settings, please refer the security section. Authentication Type In client mode, the device also supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. Although the default setting is “Auto”, not every Access Points can support “Auto” mode. If the authentication type on the Access Point is knew by user, we suggest to set the authentication type as same as the Access Point. Data Encryption In client mode, the device supports WEP and WPA Personal/Enterprise except WPA2 mixed mode data encryption. About the detail data encryption settings, please refer the security section. MAC Clone for Single Ethernet Client Enable/Disable Mac Clone (Single Ethernet Client) in Wireless-Basic Settings page determines whether the Ethernet Client use it’s own MAC address or AP-Client’s MAC address to transmit data. Enable MAC Clone, the single Ethernet client can use its own MAC address. Disable MAC Clone, the single Ethernet client must to use AP-Client’s MAC address. While you use this device act as AP-Client and only one host connect to this device via Ethernet, you need to check this option in this page, otherwise the other device can’t recognize your host behind AP-Client. If you use hub/switch connect multi-device to this AP-Client, you should uncheck this option.
