Page 16: Software Configuration
3.2.1 Instruction of Web Management Interface OWL800 provides the web management interface for configuration. OWL800 is a multi-mode system which can be configured as either an access point (AP/Relay Mode with RF1 in AP), a relay (AP/Relay Mode with RF1 in WDS), or a gateway that clients can associate on it based on your needs.
Page 17 User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Main Menu: provides detailed configuration pages for administrators to configure the system manually. Please refer to Section 4. - Main Menu for more information. Gateway Mode © 2008 4IPNET, INC.
Page 19: User Login Portal Page
Setup Wizard section is used as the example to illustrate this procedure. Step 1: Connect a client’s PC to OWL800 via any one of the LAN Ports. The IP address will be assigned to the PC automatically via DHCP.
Page 20 OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Step 3: The Login Success Page will appear after a client is authenticated by the system and logs in successfully. In the meantime, successful login means OWL800 has been installed and configured properly. © 2008 4IPNET, INC.
Page 21: Basic Configuration
After completing hardware installation, the administrator can configure the OWL800 via web browsers. If the IP address of the administrator’s PC is within the same subnet as OWL800’s, then assigning a static IP address within the same subnet as OWL800’s to the administrator’s PC is needed in order to get Administrator Login Page.

User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Appendix B. 802.1X Support What is IEEE 802.1X ? The 802.1X-2001 standard states: "Port-based network access control makes use of the physical access characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures in order to provide a means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing access to that port in cases which the authentication and authorization fails.
Page 103 User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Example #1: OWL800 is configured in the way that Local user database acts like an internal RADIUS server. 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.64 hq-user1@hq-radius 802.1X Authentication Gateway Mode (EAP-Request) Supplicant Authenticator Internal RADIUS (Local Database)
Page 104 User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Example #2: OWL800 is configured to use external RADIUS server for 802.1X authentication. 192.168.1.130 External RADIUS 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.64 hq-user1@hq-radius 802.1X Authentication Gateway Mode (EAP-Request) Supplicant Authenticator Internal RADIUS (Local Database) © 2008 4IPNET, INC.
Page 105 User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Configuration Steps: Step 1: Configure the external RADIUS server Enable the Extensible Authentication Protocol and enter the information of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS page. Step 2: Specify the 802.1X Client Device (Authenticator) The system will only allow this 802.1X-enabled client device (AP) to send 802.1X authentication request...
Page 106 Step 3: Configure the RADIUS server setting of the AP (Authenticator) Example #3 : Local Database of OWL800 acts like an external RADIUS server for remote gateway to service “Roaming Out” users. Note: In this example, the AP is not enabled as 802.1X Authenticator; therefore, the “Roaming Out User” will be authenticated via web-based login page, instead of 802.1X client window.
Page 107 User’s Manual OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH Configuration Steps: Step 1: Enable Local database for use of Roaming Out User When Account Roaming Out in Local User Setting is enabled, Local database will act like an internal RADIUS server.
