1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

The G.DUO is a dual radio wireless multi-function device based on IEEE 802.11g/b 2.4GHz radio technologies. It features 2 WiFi radios for WISP and other applications that can not be achieved using single radio. In addition, it features passive PoE port for installations in places that have no nearby access to electricity (DC Injector is not included). Finally, it also comes with a WAN port and Gateway+AP mode that can turn G.DUO into a wireless router with 2 radios.

1.4 Wireless Operation Modes

The G.DUO can perform as a multi-function wireless device. Through the AirLogic web interface, users can easily select which wireless mode they wish the G.DUO to perform.

The G.DUO can be configured to operate in the following wireless operation modes:

1.4.1 WISP + AP Mode

This mode is designed as 2-way wireless router for WISP subscriber. Radio1 acts as a client router to connect with outdoor AP; Radio1 works as a wireless AP for home. This combination allows WISP subscriber to share their Internet connection wirelessly.

AirLive G.DUO User’s Manual

1. Introduction

1.4.2 Client + AP mode

In this mode, Radio1 is working as a wireless client to connect with remote AP. Radio2 is working as an Access Point to redistribute the signal from Radio1. This combination creates a wireless repeater with 2 radios. It can be used to amplify the signal from remote

AP.

1.4.3 Dual AP Mode

In this mode, the G.DUO works as 2 Access Points. You can have both radios with

directional antennas to create a larger coverage. Please remember to set the channels of

the radios as far apart as possible.

1.4.4 Gateway + AP

In this mode, both Radios are acting as wireless router. The WAN port is the LAN1 port. The application for this is to extend the wireless router’s coverage. You can use 2 directional antennas to provide longer distance and wider coverage over large area, such as in the shopping center. When using this mode, it is recommended to use directional antennas for both radios to avoid mutual interference.

3 AirLive G.DUO User’s Manual

1. Introduction

1.4.5 WDS + AP

In this mode, the Radio1 is working in WDS Bridge mode while Radio2 works as an Access Point. This mode is design to build a wireless backbone network while providing hotspot access through Radio2’s AP network. It is ideal for Hotel Installation. When using this mode, please make sure that the channels are set apart between Radio1 and Radio2. Radio1 should install with directional antenna.

3. Configuring the G.DUO

The G.DUO offers many different types of management interface. You can configure through standard web browser (http), secured web (https), command line (telnet), secured command shell (SSH), and SNMP management. In this chapter, we will explain G.DUO’s available management interfaces and how to get into them.

3.1 Important Information

The following information will help you to get start quickly. However, we recommend you to read through the entire manual before you start. Please note the password and SSID are case sensitive.

 The default IP address is: 192.168.1.254 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

 There is no password protection by default. To enable password protection,

please go to “System Configuration -> Password Settings”.

 The default SSID for Radio1 is “airlive1”

 The default SSID for Radio2 is “airlive2”

 The default wireless mode is : WISP + AP mode

 Please remember to “Apply Change” for settings to be saved and take effect.

 Please remember to “Reboot” the device after all settings are changed.

 Please keep the TX output power as low as possible for best performance.

 By default, the Telnet and SSH functions are turned off. To enable them, please

go to “System Configuration” -> “System Management” menu.

 The Emergency Firmware Recovery only works when you connect to LAN2, LAN3,

 By Default, the DHCP server is turned on in WISP+AP and Gateway+AP mode.

The other modes’ DHCP server are turned off.

 When you change the mode to WISP+AP or Gateway+AP mode, the GDUO’s IP

address might change to 192.168.1.254.

11 AirLive G.DUO User’s Manual

3. Configuring the G.DUO

3.2 Prepare your PC

The G.DUO can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or wireless network.

The default IP address of the G.DUO is 192.168.1.254 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0. This means the IP address of the PC should be in the range of

192.168.1.1` to 192.168.1.253.

To prepare your PC for management with the G.DUO, please do the following:

1. Connect your PC directly to the LAN port on the DC Injector of G.DUO

2. Set your PC’s IP address to “Obtain an IP address Automatically”. The G.DUO should

provide your PC an valid IP address.

3. If you want to set your PC’s IP address manually, please set to 192.168.1.50 (or other address in the same subnet)

You are ready now to configure the G.DUO using your PC.

3.3 Management Interface

The G.DUO can be configured using one the management interfaces below:

Web Management (HTTP): You can manage G.DUO by simply typing its IP address in the web browser. Most functions of G.DUO can be accessed by web management interface. We recommend using this interface for initial configurations. To begin, simply enter G.DUO’s IP address (default is 192.168.1.254) on the web browser..

AirLive G.DUO User’s Manual

3. Configuring the G.DUO

Secured Web Management (HTTPS): HTTPS is also using web browser for configuration. But all the data transactions are securely encrypted using SSL encryption. Therefore, it is a safe and easy way to manage your G.DUO. We highly recommend WISP and service provider to use HTTPS for management.

To begin, simply enter https://192.168.1.254 on your web browser. A security alert screen from your browser might pop up. Please grant all permission and get certificate to G.DUO.

Command Line Interface (Telnet): G.DUO can be managed through the command line interface (CLI). Telnet does not encrypt its message. Therefore, it is not secure. The default Telnet management port is TCP port 23.

By default, the G.DUO’s Telnet interface is turned off. To enable it, please go to

“System Configuration -> System Management” menu and enable “Telnet”.

To use the CLI, please open the command line window. Then type “telnet

192.168.1.254” to start.

Telnet 192.168.1.254

To get a list of available command and their usage, please type “help” on the command prompt.

Secure Shell (SSH, SSH2): SSH is an encrypted Command Line Interface that allow user to send text commands through SSL encryption. Therefore, it provides the added advantage of security comparing to Telnet. The default management port for SSH/SSH2 is TCP/UDP port 22.

By default, the G.DUO’s SSH/SSH2 interface is turned off. To enable it, please go to

“System Configuration -> System Management” menu and enable “SSH”.

To manage via the SSH/SSH2 protocol, you would need a SSH client. Free SSH clients are widely available on the Internet. You can find where to download them by using Internet search engine such as Google. In this guide, we will use a popular SSH/Telnet utility call Putty.

Once you have download and install Putty. Please follow the figure below to make a connection with G.DUO:

1. Choose “SSH” as indicated in the diagram

3.4 Introduction to Web Management

The G.DUO offers both normal (http) and secured (https) Web Management interfaces. Their share the same interface and functions, and they can both be accessed through web browsers. The only difference is HTTPS data are encrypted for extra security. Therefore, we will discuss them together as “Web Management” on this guide.

If you are placing the G.DUO behind router or firewall, you might need to open virtual server ports to G.DUO on your firewall/router

 HTTP: TCP Port 80  HTTPS: TCP/UDP Port 443

This procedure is not necessary in most cases unless there is a router/firewall between your PC and G.DUO.

3.4.1 Getting into Web Management

Normal Web Management (HTTP)

To get into the Normal Web Management, simply type in the G.DUO’s IP address (default IP is 192.168.1.254) into the web browser’s address field.

Secured Web Management (HTTPS)

To get into the Secured Web Management, just type “https://192.168.1.254 ” into the web browser’s address field. The “192.168.1.254” is G.DUO’s default IP address. If the IP address is changed, the address entered in the browser should change also.

A security warning screen from your browser will then pop-up depending on the browser you use. Please follow step below to clear the security screen.
