Configuration Guide This guide presents the detailed description of the N-Tron 702-W operating system which is integrated into the N-Tron 702W. N-Tron 702-W Quick Setup Guide describes the configuration steps for the subscriber station (wireless client - bridge). All the configuration settings accessible via web management interface are described in this document. -
Page 21: System Info Page
System Info Page The System Info Page displays a summary of link status information, basic configuration settings of the device (operating mode, network settings), and traffic statistics of all the interfaces. Network administration and monitoring utilities such as antenna alignment, and ping tools are accessible via System Info page also. -

ACK Timeout: displays the current ACK Timeout value, which is set on the device manually or adjusted automatically. The ACK Timeout (Acknowledgment Timeout) specifies how long the N-Tron 702-W device should wait for an acknowledgment from a partner device confirming packet reception before concluding the packet must have been in error and requires resending. - Page 23 LAN MAC: displays the MAC address of the N-Tron 702-W device LAN (Ethernet) interface.

Page 24: Statistics Reporting
Statistics Reporting LAN Statistics: section displays the detailed receive and transmit statistics (Bytes, Packets, Errors) of the LAN (Ethernet) interface. These statistics represent the total amount of data and packets transferred between devices through the Ethernet interface from either direction. Both unicast IP traffic (conversations between two hosts using HTTP, SMTP, SSH and other protocols) and broadcast traffic (while addressing all hosts in a given network range with a single destination IP address) is accounted. -
Page 25: Extra Info
Bridge table shows to which bridge port the particular station is associated to - in other words from which interface (Ethernet or wireless ) the network device (defined by MAC address) is reachable to the N-Tron 702-W system while forwarding the packets to that port only (thus saving a lot of redundant copies and transmits). - Page 26 The list can be updated using the Reload button. N-Tron 702-W examines the destination IP address of each data packet traveling through the system and chooses the appropriate interface for packet forwarding. The system choice depends on static routing rules – entries, which are registered in the system routing table. Static routes to specific hosts, networks or default gateway are set up automatically according to the IP configuration of all the N-Tron 702-W interfaces.

3 packet filtering and access control in Router mode. Bridge Mode In bridge mode, the N-Tron 702-W will simply forward the network management and data packets to the client PC without any intelligent routing. For some applications, this can provide a more efficient and simple network solution. - Page 37 Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU). STP should be turned off (selected by default) when the N-Tron 702-W device is the only bridge on the LAN or when there are no loops in the topology as there is no sense for the bridge to participate in the Spanning Tree Protocol in this case.

256 and 2,048 bytes. Acknowledgment Timeout N-Tron 702-W has an auto-acknowledgment timeout algorithm which dynamically optimizes the acknowledgment timeout value without user intervention. This is a critical feature required for stabilizing long-distance outdoor links. The user has the ability to enter the value manually, but this is not recommended. - Page 45 Roaming: NOTE: Roaming requires units manufactured with firmware v2.0.18 or greater. Existing units may be eligible for a factory upgrade option. Contact N-Tron Customer Service for additional information. Roaming and non-roaming units are compatible with each other. Once a station is attached to an Access Point (AP) other compatible APs with better signals may become available.
