  • Page 12: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium business. They can either work independently as standalone APs or be centrally managed by the EAP Controller software, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily-configured enterprise- grade wireless network for small and medium business. ‘‘Celling lamp’’...

  • Page 13: Chapter 2 Network Topology

    Chapter 2 Network Topology A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below. Figure 2-1 Typical Topology To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running the EAP Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs.

  • Page 14: Chapter 3 Management Mode

    Chapter 3 Management Mode Auranet series products can either work under the control of the EAP Controller software or work independently as a standalone access point. When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single AP in the network is complex and complicated.

  • Page 15: Chapter 4 Network

    Chapter 4 Network On Network page you can configure the IP address of the standalone EAP. Figure 4-1 Network Page By default, the EAP device obtains an IP address from a DHCP server (typically a Dynamic/Static: router). Select Static to configure IP address manually. If the EAP fails to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server within ten Fallback IP: seconds, the fallback IP will work as the IP address of the device.
