  • Page 9: 2. First Time Configuration

    Ch 2. First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device.
  • Page 10 device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the types of operation mode. Router The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN.
  • Page 11 WDS (Wireless Distribution System) This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection.
  • Page 12 Examples of Configuration This example demonstrates how to set up a network with different device configurations. There are 2 DHCP servers (DEV1/DEV4) in the network to control the IP configuration of 2 domains (192.168.2.x/192.168.3.x). Once the setting is done, all the PCs can visit Internet through DEV1. We assume all the devices keep the factory default setting.

  • Page 32: Advanced Settings

    Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your device. The default setting is optimized for the normal operation. For specific application, setting configuration will required highly attention to reach optimistic condition.
  • Page 33 RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other.
  • Page 34 SSID in your client settings. IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) This function will let Wireless Stations roam among a network environment with multiple devices. Wireless Stations are able to switch from one device to another as they move between the coverage areas. Users can have more wireless working range.
  • Page 35: Configuring Wireless Security

    Configuring Wireless Security This device provides complete wireless security function include WEP, 802.1x, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES and WPA2-Mixed in different mode (see the Security Support Table). The default security setting of the encryption function is disabled. Choose your preferred security setting depending on what security function you need. WEP Encryption Setting Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network.
  • Page 36 64-bit WEP Encryption:64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP. You can input 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 5 ACSII chars. 128-bit WEP Encryption : 128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP.
