Note: If the IP address changed, the login IP address to the Web-based management interface will change correspondingly.
Chapter 5 Radio Configuration 5.1 Basic Setting Click Apply to save your settings, or click Help for more information. SSID: the name of your wireless network. SSID Broadcast: Enable/disable the SSID broadcast RF Mode: Selects 802.11g, 802.11b, BG Mixed Channel: Select the operating channel for your wireless network. Radio Preamble: Selects short, long, or Auto. RTS Threshold: This value should remain its default setting of 2347(Bytes).
5.2 Mode Setting The default operating mode is AP mode. 5.2.1 AP mode In this mode, ZEW3002 will act as a central hub for different wireless LAN clients. For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high-speed internet access, you can connect to the internet through ZEW3002 which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room.
Click Apply to save your settings. • SSID: The name of your wireless network. • Channel: The operating channel • Encryption: Select disable or WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA_WPA2 Mixed mode for security. 5.2.2 WDS P2P Bridge In this mode, two ZEW3002 in two remote locations connect with each other to provide a wireless bridge between 2 remote LANs. The two ZEW3002 operating in P2P mode do not allow client associations. It is mostly used by enterprise to connect 2 remote office’s network together.
Click Apply to save your settings. • SSID: The name of your wireless network. • Channel: The operating channel • WDS remote AP MAC List: Enter MAC addresses whose remote device needs to connect. (Also you can obtain MAC address for copying or entering manually by the scan.) • Encryption: support only WEP mode for security.
5.2.3 WDS P2MP Bridge A ZEW3002 operating in Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) bridge mode wirelessly connects two or more wired networks. The root ZEW3002 (LAN1) operates in P2MP mode, while other ZEW3002 (LAN2, LAN3) must operate in P2P mode. When operating in P2MP bridge mode, ZEW3002 does not allow client associations. Note: WDS P2MP Bridge mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3002 networking environment.
Click Apply to save your settings. • SSID: The name of your wireless network. • Channel: The operating channel • WDS remote AP List: MAC addresses of the P2P Bridge that are connected to this P2MP Bridge. Up to six MAC addresses can be entered. (Also you can obtain MAC address for copying or entering manually by the scan.) • Encryption: support only WEP mode for security.
5.2.4 WDS AP Repeater A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two WLAN devices. Functioning as a WDS repeater, ZEW3002 connects to both a client card as an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs equipped with WDS functionality must also support WDS. Figure below shows an example of a Repeater network with two ZEW3002 Repeaters connected to a ZEW3002 (AP mode), with each Repeater allowing wireless clients to associate.
Click Apply to save your settings. • SSID: The name of your wireless network. • Channel: The operating channel • WDS mode: Dynamic key or Static key; At least one of the two associated repeater should be set as static key. If selecting dynamic key for one repeater, you don’t have to fill the other repeater’s MAC addresses at the MAC list field. • WDS remote AP MAC List: MAC addresses of the repeaters that are connected to this repeater. Up to six MAC Addresses can be entered.
5.2.5 Client mode When Client mode is selected, ZEW3002 associates with another AP within its range. The device behaves like a wireless network adapter. Figure below shows the Client mode ZEW3002 as a wireless client in infrastructure mode. Connect the LAN port of the ZEW3002 with Ethernet interface of the wired network. Click Apply to save your settings.
• SSID: The wireless network’s name you want to associate with. • Channel: The operating channel of the wireless network. • MAC Addr: The MAC address of the wireless network. • Scan button: you can through the scan function to display exit wireless network of the neighborhood, and click Add to establish connection with it. • Encryption: Select disable, WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA_WPA2 Mixed mode for security. 5.
