8 Web interface of P-Link WiFi

This chapter can help the user to understand the features of P-Link WiFi and the chance of configurations via web
interface. The interface consists in a navigation bar with the following sections: Home, Basic Settings , WPS Setting,
Advanced Settings, Security, MAC filtering, System Utility, Configuration Tool, Upgrade, Reset.
8.1 Home
This section is useful to check the device status. You can check the status of the wifi network, see active clients and LAN
properties.

8.2 Basic Settings

In this section the user can choose the basic settings of the wifi network of P-Link WiFi. You can change the band
(protocol 802.11b/g/n or mixed), change WiFi network name and channel number. You can also see the active clients by
clicking the button "Show Active Clients".
NOTE
The default name for WiFi network generated by P-Link WiFi is this one: TELESystem-XXXX where XXXX represents
the last 4 digits of MAC address. You can find the MAC address of the device in section Home but also on the back
panel of the product itself.

8.3 WPS Setting

This section contains information about WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). It is a standard that allows an automatic
configuration for wifi networks, that is a device which use WPS can connect to a wifi network without the need to digit the
password for that network. In this section you can choose if disable or enable the WPS feature, change the configuration
mode of WPS (registrar or enrollee) or start the WPS procedure (by using PBC or PIN method).
Concerning the configuration mode of WPS, there are two chances:
Registrar: in this mode the device can issue or revoke credentials to a network
•
Enrollee: in questa mode the device seeks to join a network
•
Usually P-Link WiFi, working as an access point, need to work as WPS registrar. In this way you can use WPS for
connecting clients to the WiFi network generated by P-Link WiFi.
WPS procedure can start in 2 different ways:
Using PBC (Push-Button Configuration): you need only to press WPS button of P-Link WiFi and then press,
•
within 2 minutes, the WPS button on the device you need to connect to the WiFi network.
Using PIN: you need to share the PIN from the device to P-Link WiFi and then press Start PIN button. We
•
suggest to use PBC mode because it is more fast and simple.

8.4 Advanced Settings

This section allows the change of parameters that can strongly influence the performances of the WiFi network
generated by P-Link WiFi. Only experienced user with a techincal knowledge about wireless network should change
those parameters.
The parameters are the following:
Fragment threshold: max length of sent packages
•
RTS threshold: threshold for using protocol RTS/CTS
•
Beacon Interval: frequency interval of "beacon" package, used by the user for syncing WiFi network
•
DTIM Period: DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) period
•
Data Rate: data rate in Mbps
•
N Data Rate: change modulation for N protocol
•
Channel Width: width of channel
•
Preamble Type: it allows the receiver to "lock" wireless signal and sync with the transmitter
•
Broadcast ESSID: the name of the network is shared with the devices that ask for it
•
WMM: wifi extension that can increase priority for some kind of data (like Voice Over IP) with regards to other
•
data packages
CTS Protect: enable this feature can help in avoiding collisions in a network with several clients
•
TX power: wifi signal transmission power
•
NOTE
If the user does not know for sure the effects that the change of these parameteres can have on the behaviour of the
device we strongly reccommend TO NOT CHANGE the default values. If the user change these values and wants to
come back to the default values it is always possible to perform a factory reset (please see section 7.8).
8.5 Security
In this section you can change the protection of WiFi network, the encryption type and the format of the password.
NOTE
The WiFi network generated by default is open, that is not protected with any password. We reccomend to change the
protection in this section of the web interface.
