The package you have received should contain the following items: • • • • User manual TEW-210APB Access Point Power adapter SNMP utility CD Note: if anything is missing, please contact your vendor A wireless LAN is normally used in a predefined environment.
3. Installation 1. Mount the Access Point firmly to the wall or proper location that is determined during the site survey. 2. Make sure the antennas are in a vertical position (if not, rotate over 90 degrees). 3. Insert the power connector. 4. Attach the UTP Ethernet cable to the Access Point. At the front of the Access Point you will see three LEDs.
4. SNMP Features You can make use of SNMP utility software for connect TEW-210APB which you want to manage. Supported features: • • • • • • Restrict the authority of user to access WLAN and this unit. Support IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption. Optimizing the radio configuration via assign the independent spectrum. Access Control and WEP encryption for network security. Support powerful multi mode function in a same unit. Access control table implemented via import or export with text file.
4.1 How to install and launch the SNMP Manager There is a CD which enclosed in this product. The SNMP software can be found on this CD. Please install the SNMP Manager on your pc and change the IP address of your pc into 192.168.5.xxx subnet for TEW-210APB configuration. The default IP of TEW-210APB is 192.168.5.100. To make sure your pc and TEW-210APB whether in a same subnet and the connection is well, you can do a test via “ ping “ command. For example, you can employ the following command “ ping 192.
4.1-2 When you got the available AP and press the connect button, there is a pop out window will come out. You should import the community string and assign a role for administration. The default community string is “ public “ and the Authority need to be a “ Administrator “. Please refer to the Figure 2. Notice: The capital letters and lowercase letters need to be differentiated.

With this table, please change the IP address what you expected. Figure 3 IP Address : Please assign an unique IP address for this unit. IP Mask : Please specify the proper subnet mask for this unit. Gateway : There is a portal for packet incoming or outgoing which need to routing process.
4.3 Managing Security Maintaining security in a wireless LAN environment is somewhat different from a wired network, because the radio waves do not stop at your office walls. Eavesdropping or unauthorized access from outside and your building can be a serious threat. If you wish to enable the Privacy Options function, please click the “ Setup “ “ Wireless LAN “ “ Privacy Options “ and choose the encryption method. The encryption key should follow the hexadecimal format.
4.4 Advanced setting You can change the settings such as ESSID, channel, operational mode and so on via the advanced setting. To click the “ Setup ” ” Wireless LAN “ “ Operational Settings “ . Regarding the detail setting and parameters, it will show on the following table. You can assign the proper parameters to this unit for good performance. Figure 5 Access Point Name: The device name.
may decline to authenticate with any particular other STA. Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of STAs as either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism. Preamble Type: Two different preambles are defined.
4.5 Access Control ( Authorized MAC Address ) The IEEE 802.11 standard allows for Access Control rules based on the client station’s hardware address, and is fully implemented by the TEW-210APB. The Mac address table can be specified with a text file format. Then using the “ Authorized Mac Address “ which under the “ Setup” “ Wireless LAN “ to import or export the Mac address which would like to control.
4.6 Change community string The default community string is ”public”. All of the setting can be changed only the import string is fit with system.
