Wi-Fi device IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL Web Console Configuration
3-26
ATTENTION
Changing the time zone will automatically adjust the Current local time. You should configure the Time
zone before setting the Current local time.
Daylight saving time
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/ Disable
Daylight saving time (DST or summer time) involves advancing
clocks (usually 1 hour) during the summer time to provide an
extra hour of daylight in the afternoon.
Disable
When Daylight saving time is enabled, the following parameters will be shown:
• Starts at: The date that daylight saving time begins.
• Stops at: The date that daylight saving time ends.
• Time offset: Indicates how many hours forward the clock should be advanced.
Time server 1/2
Setting
Description
Factory Default
IP/Name of Time
Server 1/2
IP or Domain name of the NTP time server. The 2nd NTP server
will be used if the 1st NTP server fails to connect.
time.nist.gov
Time sync interval
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Time interval for NTP
server synchronization
(600 to 9999 seconds)
This parameter determines how often the time is synchronized
from the NTP server.
600 (seconds)
Wireless LAN Setup
The IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL provides two different sets of wireless operation modes: AP/client modes for
point-to-multipoint communication and master/slave modes for transparent point-to-point communication.
The major differences between these two operation modes are the MAC address translation on the client/slave
radio.
AP/client: The IP-Bridging mechanism is used to overcome limitations of the 802.11 standards. In this case,
the MAC address of the devices connected to the client radio will be replaced with the client’s MAC address.
Under AP/client modes, communication problems might be encountered when you have a MAC authenticated
system or MAC (Layer 2) based communication. In this case, you will need to change the network to use the
master/slave operation mode.
Master/slave: A transparent point-to-point protocol that allows the devices’ MAC addresses to remain
unchanged when the packets get through the slave radio. If you are looking for a worry-free wireless solution
to replace your wired system, use Master/Slave.
Client-router: A variation of standard client mode. WLAN behavior is identical with client mode, but a router
behavior was added to separate the WLAN and LAN subnets. This allows network planners to allocate private
IP addresses behind the client radio. More information on the Static Route, NAT, and Port Forwarding functions
can be found in the Advanced Setup section.
Sniffer: In order to provide an easier way for our customers to analyze wireless traffic, the
IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL supports a “Sniffer” mode to co-work with Wireshark packet sniffer software.
NOTE
Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation—the Client can only transmit
IP-based packets between its wireless interface (WLAN) and Ethernet interface (LAN); other types of traffic
(such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
