Regulatory notes and statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and recommendations.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65 and found compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Safety Information Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it sends out radio frequency (RF) signal. CAUTION: To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. Use on the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT The Wireless Access Point has a Web GUI interface for the configuration. The AP can be configured through the Web Browser. A network manager can manage, control and monitor the AP from the local LAN. This section indicates how to configure the AP to enable its functions. Login to the Wireless AP through WLAN Before configuring the Wireless AP through WLAN, make sure that the SSID, Channel and the WEP was set properly.
Main Screen of the Access Point The screen will show the status of the AP when you login to the AP. There are seven main functions included in the top side of the main screen: Wizard, Status, Basic Setting, IP Setting, Advanced Setting, Security and Tools. Point the selections in the top side of the menu screen.
Wizard Setup wizard is provided as the part of the web configuration utility. User can simply follow the step-by-step process to get Access Point configuration ready to run in 4 easy steps by clicking on the “Wizard” button on the function menu. The following screen will appear. Please click “Next” to continue. Step 1: Set Password User can change the password and then click “Next” to continue. Step2: Set WLAN Connection Please type the name of SSID and select the Channel. Then, click “Next” to continue.
Step 3: Set WEP Encryption If user wants to enable WEP, please click “Enabled”. Then, select the key size of WEP encryption and enter the key value in the key text box. Please click “Next” to continue. Step 4: Restart The Setup wizard is now completed. The new settings will be effective after the Access Point restarted. Please click “Restart” to reboot the Access Point. If user does not want to make any changes, please click “exit” to quit without any changes.
Status This page as below shows the following information. Firmware Version: Shows the current firmware version and released date code. LAN: Shows the Mac address, IP address (default: 192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask, Gateway Address. The current LAN traffic calculated in terms of number of packets sent and received by AP through wired connection is also displayed. Wireless: Shows the current SSID, the status of Encryption Function (Enable or Disable), the current using channel.
Basic Setting This is the page allow user to change the access point settings. . AP Name: The name of the AP, which can be used to identify the Access Point among the all the Access Points in the wireless network. SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network. Channel: The channel that AP will operate in.
Note: When the WEP security is enabled, all the wireless clients that wish to connect to the Access Point must also have WEP enabled with the identical WEP Key value entered. WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected, user needs to set the key in the passphrase field as the below screen. The key length should be 8 characters at least.
WPA / WPA2: If WPA or WPA2 is selected, the below screen is shown. Please set the length of the encryption key and the parameters for the RADIUS server. Encryption Key: Select the Encryption Key Length ranging from 64 or 128 Bits that you would like to use. RADIUS Server 1: Enter the IP address and the Port number to be used by the Primary Radius Server, enter the Shared Secret, which is used by the Radius Server.
IP Setting This page allows user to configure the IP and DHCP settings of the Access Point. The default IP address of this access point is 192.168.1.1 with the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. User can type in other values for IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway and click “Apply” button for the changes to be effective. User can also set the Access Point to obtain the IP from a DHCP server, but it is not recommended.
Advanced Setting This page contains configurations for advanced users, which the change reflects the wireless performance and operating modes. AP Mode: The WLAN AP supports five operation modes for Access Point, AP Client, Wireless Bridge, Multiple Bridge, and Repeater mode. Access Point Mode Configure the AP to Access Point mode; with this mode, WLAN clients can access LAN or other WLAN clients through this AP.
AP Client mode Configure the AP to AP Client mode; the AP will be a wireless Ethernet adapter transforms any Ethernet-enabled devices to have the wireless function. AP Client mode application Remote AP SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.

Proxy: Multiple users are allowed connecting to the wireless LAN network through this client mode AP and with the AP own MAC address.
Multiple Bridge mode Configure to the multiple bridge mode; these APs will be a LAN to LAN wireless Ethernet bridge between two or more separated Ethernet LAN segments. Note: These Multiple Bridge APs must using same SSID setting.
Repeater mode Configure the AP to Repeater mode; the AP will be a wireless LAN repeater that will be extended the WLAN coverage range. Note: The SSID setting must same as remote AP. Remote AP SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. Access point clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Security This page is where user configures the security features supported by this Access Point. Password: Allow user to change the new login password. Here are the necessary steps: 1.
