3 Primary Setup This page is used to configure the parameters for Internet, LAN and Wireless setup.
3.1 Internet setup The user can configure the connection type (DHCP, fixed IP or PPPoE) and parameters for Internet network which connects to the WAN port of your Access Point. Refer to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and select the appropriate option and fill in the information needed to connect. Here you may change the setting for IP address, PPPoE, DNS, etc… DHCP: If the user set the device as DHCP client, the device will get automatically IP address from the DHCP server.
PPPoE: Enter the username and password you use when logging onto your ISP through a PPPoE connection. MAC address: It shows the MAC address of the WAN interface. Clone MAC Address: Clone MAC address allows the user to copy the previous MAC address and using it on your new network. 3.2 LAN interface setup The user can configure the parameters for local area network which connects to the LAN port of your Access Point. Here you may change the setting for IP address, subnet mask, DHCP,etc..
3.3 Wireless interface setup The user can configure the parameters for wireless network which connects to the wireless LAN port of your Access Point. Here you may change the settings for alias name, SSID, channel number, etc... MAC address: It shows the MAC address of the WLAN interface. Disable Wireless: The user can disable the wireless function. Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings.
Key Format: ASCII or HEX. ASCII. (American Standard Code for Information Interchange): Consists of 256 numbers assigned to the alphabet, numbers, punctuation, control character and etc. hexadecimal notation: While the more common decimal system uses a base of ten to represent all possible numbers, hexadecimal notation uses a base of sixteen: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, A, B, C, D, E, F. While such a system may seem confusing at first, it works extremely well in computing environments.
4 Security This page is used to set the account to access the web server of Access Point and WEP security. 4.1 Password setup It is used to set the account to access the web server of your device. Empty user name and password will disable the protection. 4.2 DMZ setup A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network.
