Chapter 3 Configuring your PC 1. Change the TCP/IP setting of your managing computer. Select the TCP/IP line that has been associated to your network card. Click the Properties button. 2. Make sure the IP address of your computer and the AP are in the same subnet. The default IP address of the access point is 192.168.1.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. For WLAN, open the WLAN client utility. Click Configuration tab. Type default SSID (default SSID: wireless) in the Network Name field. Choose “Access Point” for Network Type, then click OK button. Note: the default channel is 6.Configuring the Router through Web Browser Chapter 4 Initial Software Installation and Configuration The access point can be configured through your web browser with the Web-Based Utility.
There are three tabs on the upper right-corner of each page. To go back to the main setting page, press HOME tab. To log out of the web management, press EXIT tab. To complete any change you have made, press RESET tab after clicking APPLY button.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Access Point through web browser 5.1.1 Administrator Settings Set a password to restrict management access to the access point. If you want to manage the access point from a remote location (outside of the local network), you must also specify the IP address of the remote PC. Password Settings: To change your password, enter your current password in the “Current Password” box. Enter new password in the “Password” box. Enter it again in the “Re-type password” box to confirm it.
5.1.2 Firmware Upgrade The firmware information is displayed on this page. You can find firmware version and firmware date here. There are two ways to upgrade the firmware: “Using TFTP” and “Using WEB”. Click “NEXT” button to choose the one you want. l Using TFTP On the managed computer, run the TFTP Server utility. And specify the folder in which the firmware file resides. After running the TFTP server, enter the TFTP server IP and the filename on the following page.
l Using WEB Type the correct firmware file path and file name on the File field. You can click Browse to select the file location. Click on APPLY to complete your change. 5.1.3 Configuration Tools l This tool can backup or restore the AP’s configuration. It can also restore the original factory default settings. Restore Factory default configuration: (1) Chick the “Restore Factory Default Configuration” button and then click NEXT.
(2) Click Restore button to force the access point to perform reset and restore the original factory settings. l Backup Setting/Restore Settings: (1) Check the “Backup Settings/Restore Settings” radio button and click NEXT. (2) To save the access point's current configuration to a file named "config.bin" on your PC, click Backup Settings button. (3) To restore configuration, you can use the "Restore Settings" tool to restore the saved configuration of the access point.
5.1.4 Status The Status window displays current information and settings for your AP. It has five main parts – LAN, Wireless 11a, Wireless 11g, System Information.
For LAN, it displays AP’s IP address, MAC address, and Subnet Mask. It also displays the IP address of the DNS and the number of clients connected by DHCP server. For Wireless 11a, it displays SSID, Channel, WEP security status, and wireless MAC address of the 11a adapter. For Wireless 11g, it displays SSID, Channel, WEP security status, and wireless MAC address of the 11g adapter. For System Information, it displays system time, firmware version, firmware date, hardware version, and serial number.
5.2 LAN Setting 5.2.1 LAN Settings You can change the basic settings of AP here, including IP address, Subnet mask, IP Pool Address, Lease Time, and Local Domain Name. Click APPLY to complete your change.
(1) IP Address: The IP address of the AP. You should have a unique IP address to your network. The default value is 192.168.1.1. (2) Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask of your access point. The default value is 255.255.255.0. (3) DHCP Server: By default, the AP can function as a DHCP server. The AP can automatically assign an IP address to a client. To enable this function, clear the “Enable” check box. (4) IP Pool Starting Address & IP Pool Ending Address: The first and the last address in the IP address pool.
5.2.3 MAC Control You can block certain clients PCs accessing the internet based on MAC address. When you enable “MAC Address Control” without allowing unspecified MAC address connect to internet, you will block all client PCs accessing the internet. The clients whose MAC addresses listed in the “MAC Address Control List” can access the internet only if the “Allow Connect to Internet is checked. 5.2.4 MAC address filtering The maximum number of items is 64.
5.3 Wireless Setting General Select the country regulatory domain which you belong to. 11a In this window you can make changes to the default wireless settings. For communicating, all computers on the network must be within the same IP Address range, and have the same settings for the Radio channel and SSID.
this function. 1. SSID: The SSID is a unique name shared among all points in your wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. The default SSID for 11a Interface is wireless_11a. 2. Channel: The channel shared by all wireless devices. The range of channel is 1~14. 3. WEP: Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11a standard.
4. 802.1X: The 802.1X standard is designed to enhance the security of wireless local area networks that follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. 802.1X uses an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for message exchange during the authentication process. In a wireless LAN with 802.1X, a user requests access to an access point (known as the authenticator). The access point forces the user into an unauthorized state that allows the client to send only an EAP-start message.
Re-authentication time: The time period that AP informs clients to re-authenticate. Radius Server: 1. Primary Radius Server: The IP address and port number of Primary Radius Server. You need to know the shared secret between AP and Radius Server. The default port number is 1812. 2. Backup Radius Server: The IP address, shared secret, and port number of backup Radius Server. It is optional. 11g In this window you can make changes to the default wireless settings.
n RTS/CTS Threshold (256~2346): Packets large than the value are preceded by an RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 256 and 2346 to specify the value of the RTS /CTS Threshold. 4. 802.1X: The 802.1X standard is designed to enhance the security of wireless local area networks that follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. 802.1X uses an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for message exchange during the authentication process. In a wireless LAN with 802.
Authentication type: There are three EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) types supported. You can choose between EAP-TLS 4, EAP-MD5 5, and EAP -TTLS 6. You can choose NONE to disable the 802.1X. Re-authentication time: The time period that AP informs clients to re-authenticate. Radius Server: 1. Primary Radius Server: The IP address and port number of Primary Radius Server. You need to know the shared secret between AP and Radius Server. The default port number is 1812. 2.
n 5.4 802.1x Status In this window, it shows the 802.1x status information of the supplicants, including the port number, MAC address, Authentication PAE state, Backend state, Rx bytes, Tx Frames, Tx bytes, Session time, and Last Session time. SNMP Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
Access Right: Select a access right for the corresponding SNMP community (Deny7/Read8/Write 9). Community: Specify the name of community for the SNMP manager( Private/Public). By convention, “Public” community is with a read-only access right. 5.4.2 SNMP Trap Traps can be used by network entities to signal abnormal conditions to management stations. SNMP TRAP message can be sent to a host. Click APPLY to complete your settings. Version: Select the SNMP Version.
