4.2.3 Advanced Setup 4.2.3.1 Configuration (1) IP address Configuration Device IP Address The default settings of the GW-AP54SGX are displayed in the example below. The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) - Page 11 (This is not advisable since it will be difficult to determine the dynamic IP address assigned to the GW-AP54SGX). Using DHCP automatically configures all IP settings upon restart, therefore the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway will be read-only displays when the device is configured as a DHCP client.
- Page 12 (3) AP Mode Settings This device can work not only as an Access Point but also as a Point-to-Point Bridge (PtP Bridge), a Point-to- Multipoint Bridge (PtMP Bridge) or AP Repeater. Simply input the Root AP MAC Address of the other remote Conception 108Mbps Access point(s). Bridge Wireless Bridge can connect another Wireless Bridge and also connect wireless clients at the same time.
- Page 13 (4) WLAN Parameter Management In the WLAN Parameter Management screen, you can change the SSID and Channel for the IEEE wireless environment you are configuring. SSID (Service Set Identifier) default is the default setting. The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network.
- Page 14 Select the transmission rate for the network. Beacon Interval (20 – 1000) Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended. DTIM (1 - 255) Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
- Page 15 Wireless devices can still send data to the Ethernet. (6) Access Control Settings MAC Address Control List Use MAC Filters to allow or deny wireless connection to the GW-AP54SGX. WLAN Partition is used to set up barriers between wireless devices or between wired and wireless interfaces.
- Page 16 MAC Address Filtering or Access Control is disabled by default. When this feature is enabled, you can select wireless devices that are allowed access or specify wireless devices that are denied access to the wireless interface through the Access Point. To turn MAC address filtering off, select Disabled for the Access Control drop-down menu.
- Page 17 Using an open system with WEP enabled means the access point and wireless stations encrypt only the data in each packet. WEP is not used for the purpose of authentication, that is, encryption does not prevent any station from associating with the access point. ‧...
