2 Getting to Know the WS311 Introduction to the WS311 The WS311 functions as a slave on a wireless network. By integrating the functions of a wireless client, it can implement wireless connections for the terminals such as IP set-top boxes (STBs) and computers with an Ethernet interface. The terminals connect to the WS311 through an Ethernet, and then access a wireless network through the WS311. The following figure shows the network connection between the WS311 and other related devices. 1 2 4 3 1.
Interfaces and Buttons of the WS311 The following figure shows the positions of the interfaces and buttons on the WS311. 1 2 3 4 The following table lists the functions of the interfaces and the buttons. No. 1 Description WPS button: used to enable the WPS function. Press and hold the WPS button of the WS311 for over 2s, and then release it. Then press the WPS button of the wireless router within two minutes.
No. Description Note: LAN = local area network WPS = Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wi-Fi Protected Setup, abbreviated to WPS, is a standard used for simplifying the security settings of a wireless network. Through the WPS function, wireless terminals can securely connect to a wireless network without requiring users to enter the name and password of the wireless network. Indicators of the WS311 The following figure shows the positions of the indicators on the WS311.
No. 2 3 4 Name Status indicator Ethernet indicator Wireless network indicator Color Status Description Blue On The WS311 is started normally. - Off The WS311 is not powered on, or the WS311 is not started. Green On An Ethernet connection is set up. Green Blinking Data is being transmitted through the Ethernet interface. - Off No Ethernet connection is set up. Green On The WS311 has connected to a wireless network.
3 Using the WS311 Through the Ethernet interface, you can connect the WS311 to various devices such as IP STBs and computers. After being connected, the devices can be wirelessly connected to the wireless network in your home. The following sections take an IP STB and a computer as examples to describe how to connect the devices and how to use the WS311 respectively .
WPS 1 3 RESET POWER LAN 2 1. IP STB 2. WS311 3. Power adapter The position of the Ethernet interface on an IP STB varies with the IP STBs produced by different manufacturers. The position of the Ethernet interface on the IP STB as shown in the preceding figure is provided only for your reference. Step 3 Power on the WS311. After the power adapter connected to the WS311 is supplied with power, the WS311 is powered on and the power indicator on the panel turns on.
Step 5 Set the IP STB to access the network through the PPPoE dial-up mode. Connecting a Computer to a Wireless Network Suppose that a wireless router supporting the WPS function has been installed in your home, and you want your computer to access the network wirelessly. In this case, you can also use the WS311 to implement the wireless connection.
4 Configuring the WS311 Logging In to the Web-Based Configuration Utility By default, most parameters are preset on the WS311 for supporting the network applications in general conditions. To view the working status or to change the parameters of the WS311, you can log in to the Web-based configuration utility. To log in to the Web-based configuration utility, do as follows: Step 1 Connect the LAN interface of the WS311 to the Ethernet interface of the computer by using a network cable.
Step 4 In the New password and Confirm password text boxes, enter the new password respectively. Then click Submit. Changing the IP address of the LAN Interface The IP address of the LAN interface is the IP address entered in the address bar of the Internet Explorer when you log in to the Web-based configuration utility. You can change the IP address after logging in to the Web-based configuration utility.
selected wireless network. The WS311 automatically saves the connection information about wireless networks to which it has successfully connected. Through the information, you can quickly connect the WS311 to a specified wireless network. To use and manage the connection information, access the WLAN Profile tab after logging in to the Web-based configuration utility and displaying the LAN configuration page.
5 FAQs How can I quickly restore the default settings of the WS311? When the WS311 is powered on, press and hold the RESET button of the WS311 for over 6s, and then release it. Then the WS311 automatically restarts and the default settings are restored.
electric fields. Step 4 It is recommended that you place the wireless router and the WS311 in an open space. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too many obstacles such as cement or wooden walls can affect the transmission of radio signals of a wireless network.
