About this User Guide When using this guide, please notice that features of the CAP may vary slightly depending on the model and software version you have, and on your location, language, and Internet service provider. All screenshots, images, parameters and descriptions documented in this guide are used for demonstration only. The information in this document is subject to change without notice.
Introduction Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium business. They can either work independently in FAT mode or be centrally managed by the wireless controller in FIT mode, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily- configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.
Working Mode CAPs support two working modes including FIT mode and FAT mode. In FIT mode, APs can be centrally managed by TP-Link’s wireless controller. The default FIT mode is used when you want to deploy a large wireless network. The management of every single AP in the network is complex and complicated. With the wireless controller, you can centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser. In FAT mode, you can log in to AP’s webpage to manage the AP alone.
Typical topology in FIT mode: Figure 2-1 Typical Topology in FIT Mode NOTE: The IP address of the wireless controller must be reachable for the CAPs in the network.
FAT Mode In FAT mode, you can log in to AP’s webpage to manage the AP alone. The FAT mode is used in a small wireless network.
Follow the steps below to log in to the web interface. 1. Launch a web browser, enter 192.168.0.254 in the address field and press the Enter key. NOTE: To log in to the device, the IP address of your PC should be set in the same subnet addresses of the device. The IP address is 192.168.0.x (”x” is any number from 1 to 253). Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. 2. Create a new username and password for login, and then click OK. Figure 2-3 Login 3. The webpage will be shown as below.
Figure 2-4 Status TIPS: Proceed to the following chapters for information on configuring the CAP in FAT mode.
Status The Status page displays the device information, wireless parameter, wireless service and wireless client of the CAP. Figure 3-1 Status Page Device Information This section displays the information of hardware version, MAC address, IP address, system time and running time of the CAP. If you want to modify the IP address of the CAP, Please refer to AP Management. To modify the system time, please refer to Time Setting.
mode, channel bandwidth and channel frequency and refer to WDS Settings to configure the WDS feature. Figure 3-3 Wireless Parameter Wireless Service In this section, you can check or edit the wireless service information of the CAP. Figure 3-4 Wireless Service Click the button to edit the corresponding wireless service entry. You can change the SSID, Network type and password. Check or uncheck the status box to enable or disable the wireless service as needed.
Wireless Client The wireless client table displays the information of the connected clients including their MAC address, connected SSID and the connection time.
Wireless Wireless page consists of Wireless, WDS Settings and Advanced Settings. Figure 4-1 Wireless Page If you have made any change of the parameters, please click OK to make the configuration take effect. There will be a blue bar at the top of the page to remind you to save the configuration. Click Save when you finish all settings, otherwise all the settings will be recovered to last saved settings at reboot or power off.
Figure 4-2 Wireless Click Add to create a new wireless service. Click button wireless service. SSID: to edit the corresponding Enter a character string no more than 32 characters to name your wireless network. We suggest you to set an easy-to-remember SSID to conveniently identify your wireless network. Check the box of Enable Broadcast to allow this device to broadcast its SSID. Therefore, the hosts within its wireless coverage could find the wireless signals.
Enable Wireless Network: Check the box to enable this wireless network, allowing the hosts connected to the wireless network to communicate with each other. Security Mode Following is the detailed introduction of security mode: WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2PSK. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Based on pre-shared key. It is characterized by higher safety and simple settings, which suits for common households and small business. WPA-PSK has two versions: WPAPSK and WPA2-PSK.
Based on Radius Server, WPA can assign different password for different users and it is much safer than WPA-PSK. However, its maintenance costs much which is only suitable for enterprise users. At present, WPA has two versions: WPA and WPA2. Figure 4-4 Security Mode WPA/WPA2 Authentication Type: Select one of the following versions: Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA2: Version 2 of WPA.
system, only data frames with four address fields can be transparently forwarded at the link layer. In a WDS network, it is necessary that the root AP supports forwarding of data frames four address fields. If not, only data frames with the ARP/IP/PPPOE protocol can be forwarded among APs. Figure 4-5 WDS Settings Check the box and click OK. The following figure will be shown. Click Yes to enable the WDS feature. There are two ways to select the root AP. Scan or manually enter the parameters.
Figure 4-7 WDS Settings Manually You should manually enter the parameters of the root AP. Click OK to finish the settings. WDS: Check the box to enable WDS feature. SSID: The SSID of the AP your device is going to connect to as a client. BSSID: The BSSID of the AP your device is going to connect to as a client. Security Mode: This option should be chosen according to the AP's security configuration. It is recommended that the security type is the same as your AP's security type.
It is recommended to select 802.11b/g/n, in which way clients supporting any one of these modes can access your wireless network. Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel bandwidth of this device including 20MHz and 40MHz. The default setting is Auto, which will select the proper bandwidth automatically according to the network need. According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons: 1.
Discard stations with a signal strength lower than ( ) dBm: Enable or disable the discard rules. Set the minimum signal strength in which the AP will discard a connected client. Values from -95 to 0 dBm are valid. The default value is -75dBm. It is recommended the maximum number is less than -40 dBm. When the signal strength of the connected client is lower than the threshold value (for example due to obstacles or long distances), the client will be discarded by the AP.
Network On Network page, you can configure the wireless MAC filtering rule and set the VLANs. Figure 5-1 Network Page If you have made any change of the parameters, please click OK to make the configuration take effect. There will be a blue bar at the top of the page to remind you to save the configuration. Click Save when you finish all settings, otherwise all the settings will be recovered to last saved settings at reboot or power off.
