Chapter 1 Introduction Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium business. They can either work independently as standalone APs or be centrally managed by the EAP Controller software, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily-configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.
Chapter 2 Network Topology A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below. Internet EAP EAP Router (DHCP Server) EAP Clients EAP Controller Switch Manangement Host Figure 2-1 Typical Topology To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running the EAP Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs.
Chapter 3 Management Mode Auranet series products can either work under the control of the EAP Controller software or work independently as a standalone access point. When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single AP in the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you can centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser. The Standalone mode applies to a relatively small-sized wireless network.
Chapter 4 Network On Network page you can configure the IP address of the standalone EAP. Figure 4-1 Network Page Dynamic/Static: By default, the EAP device obtains an IP address from a DHCP server (typically a router). Select Static to configure IP address manually. Fallback IP: If the EAP fails to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server within ten seconds, the fallback IP will work as the IP address of the device.
Chapter 5 Wireless Wireless page, consisting of Wireless Settings, Portal, MAC Filtering, Scheduler, QoS and Rogue AP Detection, is shown below.
5.1 Wireless Settings Following is the page of Wireless Settings.
5.1.1 Wireless Basic Settings Figure 5-3 Wireless Basic Settings 2.4GHz Wireless Radio: Check the box to enable 2.4GHz Wireless Radio. Wireless Mode: Select the protocol standard for the wireless network. Channel Width: Select the channel width of this device. We recommend that select 802.11b/g/n, in which way clients supporting any one of these modes can access your wireless network. According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can increase wireless throughput.
reduce longevity of the device. Select a certain transmit power is enough to achieve the best performance. 5.1.2 SSIDs SSIDs can work together with switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP can build up to eight virtual wireless networks per radio for users to access. At the same time, it adds different VLAN tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network. It supports maximum 8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly communicate with each other.
Security Mode: Select the security mode of the wireless network. For the security of wireless network, you are suggested to encrypt your wireless network. This device provides three security modes: WPA-Enterprise, WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WPA-PSK is recommended. Settings vary in different security modes as the details are in the following introduction. Select None and the hosts can access the wireless network without password.
Open System: After you select Open System, clients can pass the authentication and associate with the wireless network without password. However, correct password is necessary for data transmission. Shared Key: After you select Shared Key, clients has to input password to pass the authentication, or it cannot associate with the wireless network or transmit data. Key Selected: You can configure four keys in advance and select one as the present valid key.
Version: Select one of the following versions: Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request. WPA-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA. WPA2-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA2. Encryption: Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.
Version: Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request. WPA-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA. WPA2-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA2. Encryption: Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.
Interval. An excessive DTIM period may reduce the performance of multicast applications. It is recommended to keep it by default. RTS Threshold: When the RTS threshold is activated, all the stations and APs follow the Request to Send (RTS) protocol. When the station is to send packets, it will send a RTS to AP to inform the AP that it will send data. After receiving the RTS, the AP notices other stations in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data.
URL which the newly authenticated clients will be redirected to. Please refer to Portal Configuration or Free Authentication Policy according to your need. Following is the page of Portal . Figure 5-10 Portal Page NOTE: To apply Portal in a wireless network, please go to Wireless→Wireless Settings→SSIDs to enable Portal of a selected SSID. 5.2.1 Portal Configuration Three authentication types are available: No Authentication, Local Password and External RADIUS Server.

Figure 5-30 AP EDCA Parameters Queue: Queue displays the transmission queue. By default, the priority from high to low is Data 0, Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3. The priority may be changed if you reset the EDCA parameters. Data 0 (Voice)—Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Timesensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue. Data 1 (Video)—High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.
5.5.2 Station EDCA Parameters Station EDCA parameters affect traffic flowing from the client station to the EAP device. Figure 5-31 Station EDCA Parameters Queue： Queue displays the transmission queue. By default, the priority from high to low is Data 0, Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3. The priority may be changed if you reset the EDCA parameters. Data 0 (Voice)—Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Timesensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
TXOP Limit： The TXOP Limit is a station EDCA parameter and only applies to traffic flowing from the client station to the EAP device. The Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) is an interval of time, in milliseconds, when a WME client station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM) towards the EAP device. The valid values are multiples of 32 between 0 and 8192.
