LAN: Shows the Mac address, IP address (default: 192.168.1.100), Subnet Mask, Gateway Address. The current LAN traffic calculated in terms of number of packets sent and received by AP through wired connection is also displayed. Wireless: Shows the Mac address, current SSID, the status of Encryption Function (Enable or Disable), the current using channel.
View Log: Once clicked, the page will change to login page. The login page records every event and the time that it happens. User may clear the entries recorded in the log by clicking the “Clear Log” button, and refresh the screen to show the latest log entries by clicking the “Refresh” button.
Basic Setting This is the page allow user to change the access point settings. . AP Name: The name of the AP, which can be used to identify the Access Point among the all the Access Points in the wireless network. Mode: The WLAN AP supports five operation mode for Access Point, AP Client, WDS (Wireless Distribution System), AP+WDS and Repeater mode. 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 configuration Channel: The channel that AP will operate in. Channel 1 to 11 is North America (FCC) version, 1 to 13 is European (ETSI) version. SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network. Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to Open system. There are six options: Open system; Shared Key; WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA and WPA2.
Note: When the WEP security is enabled, all the wireless clients that wish to connect to the Access Point must also have WEP enabled with the identical WEP Key value entered. WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected, user needs to set the key in the passphrase field as the below screen. The key length should be 8 characters at least.
WPA / WPA2: If WPA or WPA2 is selected, the below screen is shown. Please set the length of the encryption key and the parameters for the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server 1: Enter the IP address of and the Port used by the Primary Radius Server, enter the Shared Secret, which is used by the Radius Server. RADIUS Server 2: (optional) Enter the IP address of and the Port used by the Secondary Radius Server, enter the Shared Secret, which is used by the Radius Server.
AP Client mode Configure the AP to AP Client mode; the AP will be a wireless Ethernet adapter transforms any Ethernet-enabled devices to have the wireless function. AP Client mode configuration SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.
Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to Open system. There are four options: Open system; Shared Key; WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. User may want to set to Shared Key when the clients and AP in the same wireless network enable the WEP encryption. All the nodes and hosts on the network must use the same authentication type. WEP Key: To disable WEP security, click on the “Disable” option. To enable WEP security, there are 2 types to select – 64bits and 128 bits.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected, user needs to set the key in the passphrase field as the below screen. The key length should be 8 characters at least. Apply: For the changes made to any of the items above to be effective, click “Apply”. The new settings are now been saved to Access Point and will be effective once the Access Point restarts. Note: For entering to the Web Setting page after changing to AP Client mode, change your PC/Notebook IP address to 192.168.1.x.
WDS mode With WDS (Wireless Distribution System) mode, user can use wireless media to communicate two or more LANs through the AP with WDS mode, all of the LAN will be combined in the WDS group, for example: Single WDS group application: When there are three APs joined to the WDS group, one of the AP in WDS mode will be the Master, the other two APs will be the Slave, all of the APs in the WDS group must use the same wireless channel and the same security setting, the Master need to fill all the Slave’s MAC
Multiple WDS group application: When there are five APs to be join into two separated WDS group, the member of WDS group 1 is AP-A, AP-B and AP-C, and member of the WDS group 2 is AP-C, AP-D and AP-E, the AP-C will join both of WDS group 1 and WDS group 2, each WDS Group 1 will be one master and the other will be slave.
Master setting (AP-A, WDS Group 1) Slave setting (AP-B, WDS Group 1) Master setting (AP-C, WDS Group 2) Slave setting (AP-D and AP-E, WDS Group 2) WDS mode configuration for Example-2 20
AP+WDS mode With WDS+AP mode, user can use wireless media to communicate two or more LANs through the AP with WDS+AP mode, all of LAN will be combined in the WDS group and WLAN client can access to the AP with AP+WDS mode. AP configuration WDS configuration Please refer the AP mode and WDS mode for detail configuration.
Repeater mode Configure the AP to Repeater mode; the AP will be a wireless LAN repeater that will be extended the WLAN coverage range. Repeater mode configuration SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.
