WLAN LED A solid light indicates that the wireless segment is ready. This LED blinks during wireless data transmission.

  • Page 9: Installation Considerations

    Installation Considerations The TEW-610APB Super G Wireless MIMO AP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.

  • Page 10: Using The Configuration Menu

    Open the Web browser. Type in the IP Address of the AP (http://192.168.0.100 If you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the TEW-610APB, make sure to enter the correct IP Address. Type admin in the User Name field.

  • Page 11: Information

    Information Access Point Name Model name of this Access Point MAC Address The Ethernet ID (MAC address) of the wireless client. Firmware version Current firmware version of this Access Point SSID When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list.

  • Page 12: Stations

    Stations This section shows you a list of MAC address of stations that have associated to this Access Point.

  • Page 13: Wireless

    Wireless This wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Wireless AP. Please note that changes made on this section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client. Wireless On/Off This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the AP. Wireless Network Name When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to invisible, see below).
  • Page 14 Visibility Status The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.

  • Page 15: Wds

    Wireless Distribution System (WDS). When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to wirelessly communication with other APs. Enable WDS When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links.

  • Page 16: Security

    Security On this section you can set the 802.11g security and encryption options. Any new settings will not take effect until the device is rebooted.
  • Page 17 WPA Enable Select to enable WPA function WPA Mode WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the AP only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard.

  • Page 18: Access

    Access On this section you can enable Access Control. If enabled, only the MAC addresses entered into the “MAC address” boxes are allowed to associate to this AP. Note that you can cut and paste the addresses from the “Station List” page into MAC address boxes. Any new settings will not take effect until the device is rebooted.

  • Page 19: Admin

    Admin On this section you can configure the IP address used by the Web server running on this device. For “static” mode, the IP address settings are given here. For “DHCP” mode, these settings are supplied by a DHCP server on your network. You can also change the password, reboot the device, or reset all settings to their factory defaults.
  • Page 20 Firmware Upgrade Note: Firmware upgrade cannot be performed from a wireless device. To perform an upgrade, ensure that you are using a PC that is connected to the AP by wire. Note: Some firmware upgrades reset the AP's configuration options to the factory defaults. Upload Once you have a firmware update on your computer, use this option to browse for the file and then upload the information into the AP.
