DHCP Client Range: Enter the range of IP address for DHCP server distribution.
4.4 Radio Radio page contains five modes, including AP, Client, WDS, AP+WDS and Repeater. Here are some basic settings: Radio Band: Select from 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11b/g Radio Mode: Select from AP, Client, WDS, AP+WDS and Repeater. Default value is AP mode. Booster mode: Boost Mode enhances throughput an additional 30% at 54Mbps. SSID: SSID is the unique ID name of your wireless network. Default value is zonet.
4.4.1 AP IAPP: Enable it to allow wireless station roaming between IAPP enabled access points within the same wireless LAN. In AP mode, ZEW3003 will act as a central hub for different wireless LAN clients. For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high-speed internet access, you can connect to the internet through ZEW3003 which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room.
4.4.2 Client SSID: Default value is default. Network Type: Select from Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Default setting is Infrastructure. In Client mode, ZEW3003 associates with another AP within its range. The device behaves like a wireless network adapter. Figure below shows the Client mode ZEW3003 as a wireless client in infrastructure mode. Connect the LAN port of the ZEW3003 with Ethernet interface of the wired network.
4.4.3 WDS In WDS mode, two ZEW3003 in two remote locations connect with each other to provide a wireless bridge between 2 wired networks. The two ZEW3003 operating in WDS mode do not allow client associations. It is mostly used by enterprise to connect 2 remote office’s network together. Note: WDS mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3003 networking environment.
4.4.4 AP+WDS In AP+WDS mode, ZEW3003 will work both in AP mode and WDS mode. It supports the wireless bridge between the two wired networks; the connection of wireless network is also supported at the same time. The part of AP's encryption in accordance with the encryption of AP mode. The part of WDS' encryption in accordance with the encryption of WDS mode. Note: Steps to configured AP+WDS mode: 1. Configured AP mode parameters. 2. Configured WDS mode parameters. 3. Enabled AP+WDS mode.
4.4.5 Repeater Repeater-SSID: The name for your repeater. IAPP: Enable it to allow wireless station roaming between IAPP enabled access points within the same wireless LAN. A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two WLAN devices. Functioning as a repeater, ZEW3003 connects to both a client card as an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs equipped with WDS functionality must also support WDS.
