Page 24: Interface Configuration
12. Interface Configuration SMT-12 is for configure the Ethernet interface and wireless interface in 500AG serial. All the physical settings of both interfaces are configured here. Each interface can be individually enable/disable. Note the message displayed at lower left-hand corner for more information for each selection item. - Page 25 wireless internet cards in PC or WiFi phones. When the interface is a wireless station, it looks for the AP with the same ESSID to connect. It will not accept any connection request from other wireless clients. - ESSID/MESSID Assign ESSID to the interface for connection identification. Multiple ESSID (MESSID) can be assigned by pressing right key.

SNMP configuration 26. Wireless Security Setting 21. System Password The default password to enter 500AG serial SMT is 0000. SMT-21 let the user change the password to control 500AG. - Page 28 Bandwidth Control is special design for wireless AP & AC to run Up Load (UL) and Down Load (DL) transmit more stable and more user can working at same time. Bandwidth Control - UL+DL Limit Rate UL+DL as bandwidth control running by total bandwidth base on UL+DL setting link rate. - UL / DL Limit Rate UL / DL as bandwidth control run by Independent Upstream and Downstream bandwidth base on UL / DL setting link rate.
- Page 29 Intelligent Traffic Control is auto check AC link amount then base on Check Interval time setting to control Max Bandwidth for all links to share bandwidth. When you had setting UL+DL or UL / DL first, you still can set Intelligent Traffic Control functions; all bandwidth control feature can work at the same time to provide very various applications.

Page 50: Chapter 4. Application Notes
Chapter 4. Application Notes 4.1. Point-to-Point Installation One of the main applications for 500AG serial is to connect two points wirelessly to save the cable cost or overcome certain geographical difficulty to have wire between two points. The figure illustrates a typical point-to-point connection of two buildings a distance apart. The outdoor APs can act as bridges to connect two points in the same net scope, or act as routers to join two different subnets together. -

Page 53: Router Mode
4.4. Router Mode When using point to point to connect two LANs together, router mode configuration is required. The setting of router mode point to point is similar to that of bridge mode, but need to be careful with the setting of IP addresses and gateway to let the data packet be able to go the desired way. - Page 54 Note : - This is an example for point to point configuration. Depends on your system, you may use different IP addresses, ESSID, operation frequency and swap AP/AC. It is recommended to set MAX RF Distance when the distance between the two 500AG serials is greater than 7km. - 500AG serial is set as a router, so each interface (Ethernet and wireless) needs to have its own IP addresses.
-
Page 55: Hard Reset To Factory Default
- 500AG serials are operating in router mode so it is necessary to set WAN interface with appropriate gateway. In this example, because the data packet is only going from one PC to another, 500AGs set each other as default gateway. It is recommended to confirm all the configurations are correct and properly saved by using SMT-44 System Information. -
Page 56: Firmware Upgrade
4.6. Firmware Upgrade As device always strives to achieve total customer satisfaction, new features and functions are designed from time to time. To have these new functions in your 500AG serial, you will need to upgrade the firmware. Please note before performing firmware upgrade: - Certain versions of firmware are non-interoperable with other versions. - Page 57 Use the space bar to move the cursor. Press ESC and save the change before exit SMT-12. Make sure the firmware image file, for example 500-v1_011.img, is in your TFTP upload/download directory. Then go to SMT-33 Firmware Upgrade.
- Page 58 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server, 192.168.1.11 and the firmware image file 500-v1_011.img in the fields indicated in the circles. Do use the exact file name because it is case sensitive. Move the cursor to the last selection “Upgrade new firmware? “ and press “Y” to begin firmware upgrading. Please keep both the TFTP connection and the power on during the whole upgrading process to ensure a successful upgrading.
- Page 59 If the upgrade is unsuccessful, the following upgrade new firmware fail message will appear. Please press “N” to make the cursor active again. Double check if the TFTP server is up and set in the same net scope with the AP. Also check if the firmware image file is in the appropriate directory and all the fields in SMT-33 are entered correctly.
