2.5
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR THE 5GHZ VERSION (802.11 A / 802.11 H) ETSI
• The unit is certified for use of the 5 GHz band in accordance with ETSI EN 301 893
V1.3.1. Users need to observe the following:
• Access Point as well as Access Client units make use of DFS and TPC as standard on all 5
GHz channels, in indoor as well as in outdoor configuration. This means that the devices
may always be operated at a maximum transmission power of 23 dBm or 30 dBm,
respectively.
Note:
Access Points must not switch off DFS in outdoor locations. Access Clients may switch off
DFS, though. This setting is turned off by default.
• 802.11a channels cannot be set to static values.
Note:
The lower 4 channels (non-DFS) can be set to static values if DFS is turned off. Turning
off DFS will however also make the features 60s Scan, 24h Scan and Radar Detection
unavailable.
10
© ads-tec GmbH • Raiffeisenstr.14 • 70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen
User Manual Access Point /Client V 3.0.3
• When activating the Access Point, the unit will perform an initial Radar Detection Scan
during which it will wait 60 seconds for a radar impulse on a randomly chosen channel.
Subsequently, it will start operating on this channel.
• The 60s Scan will be repeated every 24 hours and cause a temporary connection loss.
• If an Access Client detects a radar impulse during operation, the Access Point will be
notified of this via 802.11h. Triggered by this or its own detection of the impulse, the
Access Point will subsequently perform a channel switch to 802.11h. The connection loss
in this case is usually less than 80ms.
• The maximum permissible transmission power is different for each channel. Hence users
are required to correctly set the antenna amplification in case the standard antenna is
replaced!
2.6
ANTENNA LIST FOR USE IN USA AND CANADA / FCC
• This antenna types can be used with the Access Points and Access Client in USA and
Canada. The antennas can be ordered at ads-tec GmbH. For the correct operation you
have to use an absorbability cabel for the different antenna types.

DHCP:
The DHCP function requests an IP address from a DHCP server and subsequently allocates
IP addresses automatically.
DHCP fallback:
This option allows for automatic IP address allocation. Should there be an error with the
automatic allocation, the IP allocation automatically switches to the static setting.
Activate Spanning Tree Protocol:
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to avoid redundant network loops, especially in
switched environments.
If this option is activated, it is possible to establish redundant network connections.
Standard Gateway:
The IP address entered as standard gateway address is used to establish a connection to an
address located outside of the device’s own IP subnet (i.e. outside 192.168.0.254 in the
example given previously). However, the standard gateway itself needs to be inside the
device’s IP subnet address space. In case IP allocation was set to DHCP, the standard
gateway address may be dynamically overwritten, providing the DHCP server supports this.
The standard gateway may, for instance, be required in order to reach an NTP time server
or to relay the IP address to WLAN clients in case the device serves as a DHCP server itself.

standard.
The following WLAN modes can be chosen:
ACCESS CLIENT:
ACCESS POINT:
REGULATORY AUTHORITY
Under this option, select the country in which the device is operated. This country setting
ensures that applicable national regulations are observed in each country.
Note:
The FCC version of the device does not offer the “Regulatory Authority” option.
Warning:
A wrong country setting may lead to illegal radio frequency settings which are punishable
by law.
The operator is solely responsible for ensuring the correct country setting.
CHANNEL:
Depending on operator settings, the device can choose a transmission channel automatically
or use a manually selected channel. We recommend using automatic channel selection
(option Auto). In the event of channel interferences, the device can only switch to an
interference-free channel if automatic channel selection is activated.
Note:
5GHz channels cannot be selected statically; instead, they are chosen randomly from the
available free channels. (This constraint is required for device approval by law.)
In case other WLANs are operated in parallel, manual radio field planning is essential in
order to avoid limitations to wireless communications. In this case, the transmission
channel should be chosen manually.
Please note that DFS needs to be switched off in order for channels to be selected
manually.

WPA/PSK
WPA/PSK mode secures communications by requiring a keyword and employing a particular
data encryption method. The keyword (Pre-Shared Key) may contain a minimum of 8 and a
maximum of 63 characters. Rather than actual words, we recommend using alphanumeric
combinations of letters and numbers in order to ensure optimal security.
Note:
Pre-Shared Key specifications: 8-63 characters; valid are all characters between ASCII
code 32 and 116
Data Encryption:
You may choose to either use all data encryption methods or select a particular method.
Please note that WPA 2 encryption requires that all network access points and clients
support the WPA 2 standard.

WEP 64 BITS / WEP 128 BITS
Like WPA, the WEP 64 Bits / 128 Bits mode requires a keyword for securing wireless
communications. The chief difference is that in WPA mode, this key changes dynamically
during a connection, whereas it remains static in WEP mode.
Note:
We recommend using the WPA encryption standard because WEP-based data encryption
has to be regarded as insufficient by today’s standards.
Authentication Mode:
Automatic:
In Automatic mode, the authentication mode is selected automatically.
Open System:
Open System authentication is the default authentication setting.
Shared Key:
Shared Key authentication employs an enhanced handshake mechanism during login, which
does, however, not provide any additional security.
Key Encoding:
You may select ASCII or HEX key encoding. ASCII is a 7-bit encoding scheme, HEX is a 16bit scheme.

RULE-RELATED MAC ADDRESSES AND MAC PROTOCOLS
Via the following dialogue window it is possible to define the MAC addresses of the
respective sources and targets.
The Source MAC Address defines the source from which data is received.
The Target MAC Address defines the target to which data is sent.
In case you are using a permanent, static connection between two devices, you may enter
their respective MAC addresses here. Otherwise leave the asterisk symbol unchanged.
PROTOCOL
DESCRIPTION
ARP
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network protocol that allows
resolving network addresses to hardware addresses. ARP is not an IP-only
or Ethernet-only protocol, but due to the prevalence of IPv4 and Ethernet,
it is used almost exclusively for resolving IP addresses to Ethernet MAC
addresses.
IPv4
IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4, formerly simply IP), is the fourth
iteration of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is the first version of the protocol
to be widely deployed and is one of the essential underlying internet
technologies.
Vlan
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a virtual local network inside a
physical network. The protocol commonly used in configuring virtual LANs
is IEEE 802.1Q.
Other
Allows selection of a different protocol.
Note:
If you do not wish to select a particular protocol, choose the default menu item (i.e. the
asterisk item). Once a specific protocol has been selected you may adjust protocol-specific

PROTOCOL
DESCRIPTION
TCP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a protocol defining the
way in which streams of bytes are exchanged between computers. All
current operating systems support TCP and employ it for exchanging
data with other computers.
UDP
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a minimal message-oriented
network protocol that belongs to the transport layer of the Internet
Protocol Suite. UDP is used to allow application-to-application
communication via the internet.
ICMP
Like TCP and UDP, the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) uses
the Internet Protocol (IP) and is hence also part of the Internet
Protocol Suite. It is chiefly used by networked computers' operating
systems to send error and information messages.
The following overview shows the configuration options available for each protocol.

Access Point IP configuration
Note:
Clicking the question mark
to the right of the drop-down menus will open up general
information about and brief descriptions of the available options.
Static:
If this option is selected you may enter a static IP address. Static IP address assignment
requires entering an IP address and its corresponding subnet mask.
Default values are:
IP address:
192.168.0.254
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
DHCP:
The DHCP function requests an IP address from a DHCP server and automatically assigns
that address.
DHCP fallback:
This option is a combination of static and automatic IP address assignment. In case an error
occurs during automatic address assignment (via DHCP server), the system automatically
uses the specified static IP address.
Activate Spanning Tree Protocol:
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to avoid redundant network loops, especially in
switched environments.
If this option is enabled, it is possible to establish redundant network connections.

Standard Gateway:
Use this field to specify the IP address of the standard gateway to be used.
The IP address entered as standard gateway address is used to establish a connection to an
address located outside of the device’s own IP subnet (i.e. outside 192.168.0.254 in the
example given previously). However, the standard gateway itself needs to be inside the
device’s IP subnet address space. In case IP allocation was set to DHCP, the standard
gateway address may be dynamically overwritten, providing the DHCP server supports this.
The standard gateway may, for instance, be required in order to reach an NTP time server
or to relay the IP address to WLAN clients in case the device serves as a DHCP server itself.

Choosing “apply immediately, do not save” will add an “Apply” button to all pages in
the Access Point configuration menu. That button can be used to implement any changes
immediately. In order to keep such changes so they remain available after a device reboot,
the user will need to click a disk icon which will subsequently flash up.
The “do not apply, save only” option adds a “Save” button to all pages in the Access
Point configuration menu. Any modified settings will not be implemented, but will be saved
immediately. The device needs to be rebooted for changes to take effect. This option omits
the “Please wait” dialogue shown after a page has been confirmed. Instead of a disk icon,
a reboot icon will appear. Clicking it will take the user to the start page from which a reboot
may be initiated. The “Please wait” screen will still be displayed in some special cases,

be fragmented for transmission, i.e. it will be divided into multiple smaller packet units.
Note:
The Fragmentation Threshold option cannot be used if WPA encryption is activated.
Long Range: In case the physical distance that needs to be bridged between two devices is
relatively large, this option allows increasing the timeout value by specifying the distance (in
metres). With an increased timeout value, the Access Point will wait longer for a reply from
a remote station.
Transmission Antenna:
This option allows specifying whether the device should choose the transmission antenna
automatically. Alternatively, the antenna may be specified manually.
Antenna Amplification: Enable the Antenna Amplification option to increase the output
power. The maximum output power may however be limited by national guidelines and
regulations.
Example: A 10dbi antenna is used in combination with a 3db cable. The Antenna
Amplification to be entered in this case is 7dbi.

In case WLAN Mode is set to 802.11a, or 802.11a/b/g for the Client, some available options
differ:
Outdoor:
This option must be activated if the device is operated outdoors. Some of the 5GHz band
channels may not be used outdoors. Activating this function will turn off all such channels.
This option is not required for the Access Client.
Disable DFS:
Providing the Access Point is not operated outdoors, DFS may be disabled. Channels 36, 40,
44 and 48 may then also be configured manually. Furthermore, activating this option will
reduce the maximum transmission power. In Client mode, DFS may also be disabled
outdoors.
Note:
In Client mode, DFS is disabled per default. The radar scan during data transmissions may
create strong interferences with the client, which subsequently need to be analysed as
radar impulses. This frequently causes a high CPU load as well as faulty radar detections.
This means that in Client mode, DFS should only be enabled if the higher Client
transmission power of 23dB is exceeded and 30dBm are required to establish a stable
connection. In Client mode, the presence of another 5GHz device in the vicinity may also
cause significant interferences if DFS is enabled.

8.2.1 Netwo
Network
work
DHCP SERVER
The integrated DHCP server can be used to automatically assign IP addresses. It is however
disabled by default and may be enabled by checkmarking the Activate DHCP Server
option.
Note:
The IP address of the interface itself needs to be within the IP address range!
The interfaces to be covered by the DHCP server can be specified in more detail by means
of the options available in the for the following interfaces section. This allows setting the
pool range individually for each interface.
In addition to IP addresses, the DHCP server can, in server operation, also forward a domain
lookup prefix as well as up to three DNS server addresses. This information is passed on to
DHCP clients. The device employs its own internal DNS service for temporary query storage.
If the Access Point itself operates as a DHCP client, rather than having a static IP address,
the DHCP server used in that case will overwrite these data.

8.2.2 Security
WLAN 1 / 2
The WLAN security menu allows configuring the security standard for the wireless network.
The following modes are available:
WEP 64 BITS / WEP 128 BITS
Like WPA, the WEP 64 Bits / 128 Bits mode requires a keyword for securing wireless
communications. The chief difference is that in WPA mode, this key changes dynamically
during a connection, whereas it remains static in WEP mode.

AUTHENTICATION MODE:
Automatic:
In Automatic mode, the authentication mode is selected automatically.
Open System:
Open System authentication is the default authentication setting.
Shared Key:
Shared Key authentication employs an enhanced handshake mechanism during login, which
does, however, not provide any additional security.
Key Encoding:
You may select ASCII or HEX key encoding. ASCII is a 7-bit encoding scheme, HEX is a 16bit scheme.
WEP Key:
WEP key length is limited to 5 characters in ASCII encoding mode. Using HEX encoding,
keys with a length of up to 10 characters may be chosen. Rather than actual words, we
recommend using alphanumeric combinations of letters and numbers in order to ensure
optimal security.
WPA/PSK
WPA/PSK mode secures communications by requiring a keyword and employing a particular
data encryption method. The keyword (Pre-Shared Key) may contain a minimum of 8 and a
maximum of 63 characters. Rather than actual words, we recommend using alphanumeric
combinations of letters and numbers in order to ensure optimal security.
Data Encryption:
You may choose to either use all data encryption methods or select a particular method.
Please note that WPA 2 encryption requires that all network access points and clients
support the WPA 2 standard.

User Manual Access Point /Client V 3.0.3
WPA RADIUS
The Access Point is able to use an existing external RADIUS server for user authentication.
This requires entering the IP address of the RADIUS server in the IP Address field.
You also need to specify the TCP port used by the RADIUS server in the field TCP Port. Most
RADIUS servers use the standard TCP port 1812.
The RADIUS keyword is required by the RADIUS server to identify and authenticate the
Access Point.
In case two RADIUS servers are used, an alternative configuration may be entered in the
Secondary section. These settings will only take effect if the first RADIUS server is
unreachable. The Access Point will then try to establish a connection to the secondary
RADIUS server.

CERTIFICATES
The Access Point uses certificates to authenticate L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN and HTTPS web
server connections. The Access Point Certificate Management web interface shown below
lists a number of demo certificates only generated for test purposes.
When a certificate is uploaded, its validity is automatically checked. An invalid certificate,
e.g. one for which the date and time range do not match the Access Point’s system time, will
be indicated by the word invalid in the validity column. A question mark symbol will appear
for the invalid certificate. Click that symbol to obtain further information on the
corresponding system error message.
Note:
A *.pem certificate file must contain a private key as well as a public certificate part. The
private key needs to be available in RSA format.
Certificates are also classified as invalid if no corresponding CA file can be found on the
system.
Select Activate to apply your settings.

The Filter Wizards supports you in creating rules by automatically prompting you for
essential configuration parameters in a step-by-step process.
The clouds shown in the upper part of the screen are used to illustrate the paths of
communication between the selected incoming/outgoing interfaces.
Once a layer has been defined, only those rules pertaining to that layer will be displayed. All
active rules will be shown in the overview window.
Note:
Rules are processed in the sequence in which they are displayed in the list. If one rule is
triggered for a particular data packet, that packet will not be processed further.
Note:
Once a rule has been defined, you need to select Apply Changes in the web interface to

User Manual Access Point /Client V 3.0.3
STATIC MAC ADDRESS
The static MAC filter can be used as an access control option for any interface set to Access
Point mode. MAC address filtering entails checking a client’s physical (MAC) address against
an access list; only clients with a MAC address contained in that list will be granted access. If
access is blocked for a particular client, that client will be denied access during the 802.11
authentication process. As MAC addresses can be faked relatively easily, this option does not
offer a high level of security. When using WPA data encryption, MAC filtering is not required
as WPA itself offers sufficient security. However, MAC address filtering may be useful as an
additional means of protection if less secure WEP encryption is employed. The MAC filter
table cannot be applied to interfaces not set to Access Point mode. In that case, the
message “No WLAN interfaces in AP mode. Filter inactive.” will appear.
This option is not available for the RAC111x and RAC151x.
Standard Behaviour:
The Standard Behaviour defines how the device handles MAC addresses contained in the
filter table. A client may either be explicitly blocked (blacklist) or explicitly allowed (whitelist).
The latter is the setting employed in most cases.
Syslog:
Enabling this option will add a message to the system event log every time a client is denied
access because it is explicitly or implicitly blocked.
New Filter:
In order to create a new filter, enter a client’s MAC address (format example:
00:50:C2:45:A1:BB) and the interface(s) on which to apply the new filter (WLAN-1, WLAN-2,
*). Select “active” or “inactive” in the “Action” column to temporarily disable an entry or
in order to not activate it immediately. Subsequently click “Add” to save the new MAC
address filter entry.

95
User Manual Access Point /Client V 3.0.3
MAC list file:
If you wish to configure multiple MAC addresses at once, it may be helpful to use a text file
with a list of MAC addresses, rather than entering each address individually. A MAC list file
must contain one MAC address per line, for example:
00:50:C2:48:A1:00
00:50:C2:48:A1:02
00:50:C2:48:A1:01
Additionally, you need to select the corresponding interface and specify whether all MAC
addresses loaded this way are to be set to “active” or “inactive”. The list of MAC
addresses is then added to the existing filter entries. The system’s MAC address filter list is
limited to a maximum of 500 entries.
Note:
An extensive list takes longer to process – each entry requires approximately 1 second.
This time will also be required during the device boot sequence when all configuration
settings are loaded.
WEB SERVER
Use the Web Server Access Control menu to configure access to the Access Point web
interface via the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
The Access Point’s integrated web server will subsequently be accessible through the
enabled protocol interfaces.
Note:
For optimal security, an individual certificate should be assigned to each Access Point.

8.2.3 Adv. WLAN
IAPP
The IAPP is employed to exchange control and additional information between Access
Points. For instance, an AP sends an IAPP notification to all other APs in the same network
whenever a new client logs into the network. All other APs may then remove that client from
their table of logged-in clients. Regardless of this setting, an LLC Xid packet, originally also
defined as part of the IAPP, will be transmitted in any case whenever a client logs into the
network.
Activate IAPP
This option enables IAPP broadcasts and reception of IAPP messages on Access Points.
Activate IAPP Client Update
This option enables a special ads-tec extension of the IAP protocol. This extension will, at a
1 second interval, send the 802.11 beacon information via the Ethernet as an IAPP
broadcast. ads-tec clients are able to receive these messages and can thus obtain
information about all APs in the network, independent of whether these APs are already
visible to the client through a wireless connection. This information is particularly useful for
automatic channel resolution in the 5 GHz band when using fast roaming.
Hence, this option is only useful when fast roaming is employed.
Note:
The IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) was defined in the IEEE 802.11f recommendation.
It was only defined as a trial use recommendation and withdrawn in 2006. Consequently,
IAPP is not a standardised protocol.

802.11H WLAN-1
802.11h is an extension of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard, introduced to avoid, particularly
in Europe, interference with satellite and radar systems employing the 5 GHz band. The
standard consists of two chief components: DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC
(Transmission Power Control). DFS settings for this device can be configured on the
standard WLAN configuration page.
TPC:
The objective of Transmission Power Control is to reduce the device’s average transmission
power as much as possible. TPC is always active when a 5 GHz channel is used – it cannot
be turned off in such cases. By default, TPC is not active in the 2.4 GHz band, but it may be
enabled if desired.
Power Profiles:
• Standard: Optimises transmission power for a data rate of 48 MBit/s.
• Max. Power: Optimises transmission power for a data rate of 54 MBit/s.
• Min. Power: Optimises transmission power for a data rate of 11/12 MBit/s.
TPC Update Rate:
Clients moving quickly should use the higher update rate in order to prevent connection
losses. The lower rate may be used for static connections.
DFS Scan Time:
DFS requires the WLAN to be deactivated once every 24 hours in order to scan all available
channels for radar signals (this process takes at least one minute). To avoid occurrence of
this obligatory connection loss at critical times, you may specify a particular time at which to
perform the DFS radar scan.

PRIORITISATION
WLAN-1
The integrated prioritisation feature allows a more nuanced handling of data streams
between interfaces. Particular data packets can be preferred by assigned a higher priority to
them; furthermore, the bandwidth of specific protocols can be restricted.
The prioritisation feature is enabled by entering a maximum bit rate and at least one priority
class. For instance, if the Ethernet infrastructure as a maximum bandwidth of 50Mbit/sec the
maximum bit rate of 50000kbit/s should be entered.
Not all priority class criteria can be combined with each other. For example, IP cannot be
selected in conjunction with VLAN due to the underlying protocol architectures and
principles.

User Manual Access Point /Client V 3.0.3
HOST
Note:
In order to prioritise a particular data stream, you need to create at least two classes. The
first is assigned the lowest priority value in the Priority field and thus specifies the preferred
data traffic. The second class represents the remaining stream of data and should get a
reduced bit rate value. This ensures sufficient bandwidth is available to the prioritised data
traffic of the first priority class.
Note:
In the Priority input field, a low numeric value stands for a short Ethernet packet latency,
while a high value represents a longer latency period.

PING TEST
The Ping test can be used to test whether a particular remote station is reachable across the
network. The test will send the an Echo-Request packet to the target address and analyses
the data received as reply.
Specify the remote station to be checked by entering its IP address in the corresponding
field. Additionally, the number of packets to send needs to be specified. It is limited to a
maximum of 10 packets.
Clicking Activate will start the Ping Test.
After a short time, an overview showing the course and the result of the Ping Test will
appear. The overview shows the status of all packets that were sent and received.

CLIENT MONITORING
The integrated Client Monitoring feature allows monitoring network participants and their
reachability. All clients to be monitored need to be added to the monitoring table; their
reachability will be checked by means of periodic ICMP messages.
An action can be triggered by any monitored client in the event of a loss of connection to
that client. This action may for instance consist of an email being sent to a supervisor or
similar.
Action:
up/down WLAN-1/2
With this option selected the WLAN adapter will be shut down in case the Ethernet
participant can no longer be reached via ICMP. When monitoring the AP’s gateway via ICMP
messages, the AP is only able to detect that its uplink is lost. The WLAN interface the shuts
down and thus kicks out all connected clients. Otherwise, a client may log in to the network
via the AP in question although that AP does not have sufficient connectivity. In that case,
the client should use a different AP to connect to the network.
Note:
The current time of all ICMP replies may be checked by calling up a tooltip on a symbolic LED
in the status field.
Note:
An email notification is sent out each time a status changes, providing valid entries are
specified in the Email Server and Email Address fields.

11 SERVICE AND
AND SUPPORT

support services, ensuring quick and competent support should you have any questions or
concerns with regard to ads-tec products and equipment.
ads-tec products may also be provided and installed by partner companies. Such devices
