Basic Setup The Access Point Name is used to give a name to your Access Point. This will enable you to manage your Access Point more easily if you have multiple Access Points on your network. Country / Region: Allow you to select country domain in case there is any chances that you would use wireless network in other countries. Time: While you connect the AP to Internet, the Access Point could automatically synchronize the current time of the access point with the Time Server that you have set.
3-2 IP Setup WAN/LAN Setup By default, the Access Point can be configured as a Bridge or a Router. If you want the AP to act as a DHCP server gateway for the wireless clients, use this feature. This AP accepts both static and DHCP clients. As a Bridge mode: Static IP: The Access Point can provide you to assign a proper IP address to your wireless access point manually.
As a Router mode: Enable AnyIP: When enable AnyIP, the Access Point will support wireless client with DHCP enabled and the static IP configured to access Internet. Note: While enabling AnyIP, the wireless clients with static IP settings should input any Gateway IP address.
WAN Port: Ethernet: This access point is function as a router connecting to Internet with Ethernet Cable. That is, the wireless clients can access Internet through this wireless access point. Static IP: The wireless access point is configured with the following private static IP address. -IP Address: 192.168.1.1 -IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 -Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 -Primary DNS Server: 0.0.0.0 -Secondary DNS Server: 0.0.0.
DHCP Client: The access point will get the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and Primary / Secondary DNS Server automatically from the DHCP server if DHCP client is enabled. Meanwhile, these IP Addresses will highlight. While enabling DHCP Client here, the “Wireless” side will become DHCP Server.
Wireless: This makes your network more flexible for wireless connectivity (Such as WDS). Static IP: The wireless access point is configured with the following private static IP address. -IP Address: 192.168.0.1 -IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 -Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 -Primary DNS Server: 0.0.0.0 -Secondary DNS Server: 0.0.0.
DHCP Client: The access point will get the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and Primary / Secondary DNS Server automatically from the DHCP server if DHCP client is enabled. Meanwhile, these IP Addresses will highlight. While enabling DHCP Client here, the “Ethernet” side will become DHCP Server. Note: If you complete the settings, please click on “Apply” for changes to take effect.
RADIUS Settings Authentication/Access Control of RADIUS Server Login This configuration is required for authentication using Radius Server. Here you may have two choices. Primary and Secondary. IP Address- The IP Address of the Radius Server. Default: 0.0.0.0. Port Number- The Port Number of the Radius Server. Default: 1812. Shared Secret- This is required between your Access Point and the Radius Server while authenticating. You may input up to 31 characters.
3-3 Wireless Setup This section provides you to configure the wireless connections. Both 802.11a and 802.11g can work simultaneously and configurations are located in this section. For the setting of each band, please do the following. Wireless LAN The Wireless LAN Setup page lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From this window you can make changes to the wireless network name SSID, Broadcast SSID, Wireless Mode, Channel/Frequency, Data Rate, and Output Power. For 802.
Broadcast SSID: For security concern, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, click “No” check box next to “Broadcast SSID”. And your Access Point will refuse the connection requests from whose are not aware the Network ID. But certainly the Access Point can be easily connected well when you realize the Network ID. The default setting is “Yes”. Wireless Mode: W hen enable 5GHz mode, the wireless mode will switch to 802.11a. When select 2.
Security Settings The WEP / WPA Key setting is shown on the screen for both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless devices. WEP / WPA To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the Access Point Security Settings window offers WEP / WPA features, making your data transmission over air more secure and allows you to specify Encryption Key(s) if you enable encryption for the Access Point. For 802.11a configuration, go to (WLAN1); for 802.11g, go to (WLAN2). 802.
Network Authentication Choose the Network Authentication Type. Open System: Requires NO authentication, since it allows any device to join a network without performing any security check. The Authentication Type default is set to “Open System”. We recommend that you use the default setting. Shared Key: Requires that the station and the access point use the same WEP key to authenticate. This basically means that WEP must be enabled and configured on both the access point and the client with a same key.
Note: The WEP key must be set up exactly the same on the Wireless Access Points as they are on the wireless clients. If you set “0011223344” for the Wireless Access Point, the same WEP key “0011223344” must be assigned to other client stations. Advanced WPA / 802.1X Parameters Here you can use Reauthentication Time and Global-Key Update to check if any association is working well on the time and packets units you set.
Access Control The Access Control allows you to restrict wireless access by MAC Address. This provides an additional layer of security.

DTIM: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Clients can hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. A DTIM interval is a count of the number of beacon frames. For example: a DTIM interval equal to one means that the multicast frames are sent after each beacon frame.
Beacon Interval: This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacon transmissions. DTIM: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Clients can hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
