3.4. Event Log View operation event log. This page shows the current system log of the AP. It displays any event occurred after system start up. At the bottom of the page, the system log can be saved to a local file for further processing or the system log can be cleared or it can be refreshed to get the most updated information. When the system is powered down, the system log will disappear if not saved to a local file.
3.5. Monitor Show histogram for network connection on Ethernet, WLAN1 & WLAN2. Auto refresh keeps information updated frequently. Note: You can click on the [Detail] to view the statistic data generated by Weekly and Monthly.
4. Network Diagram Example 4.1. Access Point In the Access Point Mode, ECB7510 function likes a central connection for any stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n network. Stations and Client must configure the same SSID and Security Password to associate within the range. ECB7510 supports 4 different SSIDs to separate different clients at the same time. Client SSID1 Radio1 SSID1 Radio2 Client ECB7510 Ethernet Client Client SSID2 Radio1 SSID2 Radio2 Client 4.2.
4.3. WDS mode ECB7510 is a Dual Band Concurrent Access Point. It can operate the Access Point mode and WDS mode at the same time. Therefore, the two operate can be combined as the WDS repeater mode. It can have Repeater’s ability and it also has the Access Point’s capabilities. Connect to any of the Access Point via WDS radio and share the same network with Access Point’s radio. WDS links support up to 4 different WDS networks. The following example shows an WDS network that uses 2.
5. WIRELESS 2.4G & 5G ECB7510 is a dual band concurrent product, therefore two wireless radio configurations are provided. Both radios share the same features except for open band and available channels under “Basic” section. 5.1. Status This page shows the current wireless status such as your SSID, security type and BSSID. 5.2. Basic: Mode: AP Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless.
2.4 GHz(B/G): Either an 802.11b or an 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment. 2.4 GHz(N): If all of your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B/G/N): Either 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment. z Band 5G (Only available in Radio 2) 5 GHz (A): If all of your clients are 802.11a, select this one. 5 GHz (N): If all of your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 5 GHz (A/N): Either 802.11a or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment.
5.3. Mode: CB Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless. Band: You can select the wireless standards running on your network environment. z Band 2.4G: 2.4 GHz(B): If all of your clients are 802.11b, select this one. 2.4 GHz(G): If all of your clients are 802.11g, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B/G): Either an 802.11b or an 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment. 2.4 GHz(N): If all of your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 2.
5.4. Mode: WDS Wireless Distribution System, a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be expended using multiple access points without a wired backbone to like them. Each WDS APs need setting as same channel and encryption type. MAC address 1~4: Please enter the MAC address of the neighboring APs that participates in WDS, we support 4 devices now. Set Security: WDS Security depends on your AP security settings.
5.5. Mode: Repeater Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless. Band: You can select the wireless standards running on your network environment. z Band 2.4G: 2.4 GHz(B): If all of your clients are 802.11b, select this one. 2.4 GHz(G): If all of your clients are 802.11g, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B/G): Either an 802.11b or an 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment. 2.4 GHz(N): If all of your clients are 802.
5.6. Advanced This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router. Fragment Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.
CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is transmitted. TX Power: This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power. Power Saving Mode: Enable or disable the wireless power saving feature.
5.7. Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key. ESSID Selection: This broadband router support multiple ESSID, you could select and set up the wanted ESSID.
WEP Encryption When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption.
Click at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply the settings and reboot the device. Enable 802.1x Authentication IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.
WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available. WPA-Radius Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard.
5.8. Filter This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network. Enable Wireless MAC Filtering: Enable the wireless access control function Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" and "Comment" of the wireless station to be added and then click . The wireless station will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below.
5.9. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you. The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN code.
Client-side Setup WPS via PIN: You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless device within 2 minutes.
