For WLAN, locate the AP to a proper position. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. Initial Software Installation and Configuration 1. Change the TCP/IP setting of your managing computer. Select the TCP/IP line that has been associated to your network card. Click the Properties button. 2.
Page 5
3. For WLAN, open the WLAN client utility. Click Configuration tab. Type default SSID (default SSID: wireless) in the Network Name field. Choose “Access Point” for Network Type, then click OK button. Note: the default channel is 6.
Configuring the Access Point through Web Browser The Access Point can be configured through your web browser with the Web-Based Utility. Open your web browser and type the default IP address of the AP in the address field (default IP: 192.168.1.1) and press Enter.
System Setting The system setting contains all basic configuration of the Access Point. It includes System Time, Administrator Setting, Firmware Upgrade, Configuration Tools, Status, and Reset.
4.1.1 System Time Connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server allows the AP to synchronize the system clock to the global internet. The synchronizes clock in the AP is used to control client filtering. The polling time is the time period that the AP sends requests for the correct time. Note that the polling time can not be less than 3600 sec.
address of the remote PC. Password Settings: To change your password, enter your current password in the “Current Password” box. Enter new password in the “Password” box. Enter it again in the “Re-type password” box to confirm it. Click APPLY to complete your change. The “idle Time Out”...
Using WEB Type the correct firmware file path and file name on the File field. You can click Browse to select the file location. Click on APPLY to complete your change. 4.1.4 Configuration Tools This tool can backup or restore the AP’s configuration. It can also restore the original factory default settings.
Page 11
(1) Check the “Restore Factory Default Configuration” radio button then click APPLY. (2) Click Restore button to force the Access Point to perform reset and restore the original factory settings. Backup Setting/Restore Settings: (1) Check the “Backup Settings/Restore Settings” radio button and click APPLY.
(2) To save the Access Point's current configuration to a file named "config.bin" on your PC, click Backup Settings button. (3) To restore configuration, you can use the "Restore Settings" tool to restore the saved configuration of the Access Point. (4) Enter the path and file name then click Restore Settings button.
The Status window displays current information and settings for your AP. It has four main parts - LAN, Wireless, System Information, and Others. For LAN, it displays AP’s IP address, MAC address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. It also displays the IP address of the DNS and the number of clients connected by DHCP server. For Wireless, it displays SSID, Channel, WEP security status, and Authentication type.
LAN Setting The Access Point must have an IP address for the local network. You can enable DHCP service for dynamic IP address allocation to your clients, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or protocols. 4.2.1 LAN Settings You can change the basic settings of AP here, including IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, IP Pool Address, Lease Time, and Local Domain Name.
IP Address: The IP address of the AP. You should have a unique IP address to your network. The default value is 192.168.1.1. Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask of your Access Point. The default value is 255.255.255.0. Gateway: It indicated the Network’s Gateway. It’s optional. The Gateway acts as the DHCP Server: By default, the AP can function as a DHCP server.
4.2.3 DNS Settings Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name. Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers. The Access Point can be a DNS relay to send clients’ request to the Domain Name Server. You can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address of some specific servers.
There are three filtering type: Include, Exclude, and Disable 4.3.2 IP Filtering You can block certain client PCs accessing the internet based on time. IP Filtering can filter the packets sent from clients. For example, you can ban WEB browsing by setting the port to “80”. Remember to select the Check box in the “Enable”.
4.4.1 General In this window you can make changes to the default wireless settings. For communicating, all computers on the network must be within the same IP Address range, and have the same settings for the Radio channel and SSID. If you don’t want to utilize WEP Encryption, select “Disable” to disable this function.

hex digits). For Authentication type, you can choose between Open System , Shared Key and Auto . All station on your network must use the same authentication type. Check your wireless card’s documentation to see what type to use. Open System - An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set.
4.4.2 Enhanced Features (1) Enhanced Security: Hide SSID name in Beacon frame: By selecting this function , AP will not broadcast it’s SSID in the beacon frame.
