Introduction The TEW-637AP is an 802.11n (draft 2.0) high-performance, wireless AP that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most Access Points, the TEW-637AP provides data transfers at up to 300 Mbps when used with other 11n products. This AP is backwards compatible with 802.11b/g products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11n (draft2.0) and 802.
Hardware Overview Auto MDI/MDIX 10/100Mbps LAN Ports This port automatically senses the cable type when connecting to Router. Reset Button Pressing the reset button restores the AP to its original factory default settings. DC-IN The DC power input connector is a single jack socket to supply power to the TEW-637AP. Please use the Power Adapter provided on the TEW-637AP package.
WLAN LED A solid light indicates that the wireless segment is ready. This LED blinks during wireless data transmission. WPS LED This LED blinks during WPS function is enabled. LAN LED A solid light indicates a connection to a Router on the LAN port. This LED blinks during data transmission. POWER LED A solid light indicates a proper connection to the power supply. WPS Button Press the button to enable WPS function.

22. Congratulations you have configured you TEW-637AP.
Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-637AP, you can access the Configuration Menu by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-637AP. ¾ ¾ Open the Web browser. Type in the current IP Address of the AP (i.e. http://192.168.10.100). If you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the TEW-637AP, make sure to enter the correct IP Address. ¾ ¾ ¾ Type admin in the User Name field. type the Password admin. Click Login In.
Network The Network tab provides the following configuration options: LAN Setting. Network LAN Setting These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the Access Point. The Access Point's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface.
The subnet mask of the local area network. Default Gateway The IP address of the router on the local area network. Choose “DHCP (Auto Config)” if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP address to the AP.
Wireless The wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Access Point. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless clients that you want to connect to your wireless network. To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features. The Wireless tab provides the following configuration options: Basic, Advanced, MAC Filter, Security, WPS and Station List.
Radio On/Off Press this button to toggle radio On/off.
Network Mode If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode. Network Name (SSID) When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Broadcast Network Name is set to Disable, see below).
This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary. Reserve Direction Grant (RDG) Disable or enable reserve direction grant. Default is enabled. Extension Channel When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should select extension channel to get higher throughput. Aggregation MSDU (A-MSDU) Disable or enable aggregation MSDU. Default is disabled.
Wireless Advanced Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255. Fragment Threshold This setting should remain at its default value of 2346.
Wireless MAC Filter The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter. Policy Three policies can be selected - Disable, Allow All & Reject All.
