1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is to summarize how to perform configuration for the ALTAI C1n Super WiFi
CPE/AP through web-admin interface.
2 C1N MODEL AND FIRMWARE VERSION
This manual is applicable for the following models and firmware version:
Product name : C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP
Model number : WA1011N-G
Firmware version: v1.0.0.x
3 GETTING START
3.1 SETUP LOCAL AREA CONNECTION ON YOUR PC
C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP can be connected with your PC in wired mode or in wireless mode. In
the followings, wired mode will be introduced. This is because the configurations are similar in
wireless mode, unless SSID has to be configured in both C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP and PC.
RJ-45 Ethernet Cable Straight Cable has to be used if C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP and your
PC are connected by a switch or a hub.
RJ-45 Ethernet Cable Crossover Cable has to be used if C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP and
your PC are connected directly.
Please kindly refer to the Altai C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP Installation Guide.
Start Network Configuration on your PC.
For Windows XP user,
1. Click the “start” menu and choose “Control Panel”.
2. Click “Network Connections”.

3. Right-click on the “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties”.
Figure 2 Network Connections in Windows XP
4. After clicking on “Properties”, you will see the diagram as below.
Figure 3 Local Area Connection Properties in Windows XP
5. Marking the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click the “Properties”.
6. Type in an “IP address”, for example, 192.168.1.2, which is under the same subnet as
the Default IP address of C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP (192.168.1.20).
7. Using the default “Subnet mask” (default: 255.255.255.0) setting at the first time.
8. Keep the “Default gateway” as “Blank”.
9. Keep the “Preferred DNS server” and “Alternate DNS server” as “Blank” also.

3.2 CHECK ACCESS
“ping” utility of DOS mode is a handy tool to check the access to the C1n Super WiFi
CPE/AP.
1. Go to DOS mode by typing “cmd” in “Run”.
2. Type command:
ping 192.168.1.20
The C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP shall respond to your ping request if it has a correct
connection with your PC.
NOTE: Using the same PC to ping different C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP may cause ping failure.
This is because the C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP have the same default IP address but different
MAC addresses. You need to type a command “arp –d” in DOS mode to clear ARP table on
PC before each ping.
4 CONFIGURATION WITH WEB-ADMIN
4.1 WEB BROWSER CONNECTION
The C1n can be accessed through a Web Browser, for example, Internet Explorer (IE).
1. Open an IE session and type the IP address of the C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP. Example:
http://192.168.1.20, where 192.168.1.20 is the C1n’s IP address. The C1n default IP
Address is 192.168.1.20. Note: the release version 1.0.0.16 only supports http format
URL link.

4.3 SETUP – USER NAME, PASSWORD AND SYSTEM NAME
The Password and System Name can be configured by selecting System under Configuration
in the menu bar, as shown in Figure 8 System Configuration
Figure 8 System Configuration
The User Name and Password for login are mentioned in Section 4.1, but only password can be
changed by entering a new string in the field of Password. Note: it is need to re-enter to
confirm the password. Please press Change Password button to store the new password.
The System Name is the name of the C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP.
NOTE: Click the Update icon to store the changed settings.
4.4 NTP CONFIGURATION
NTP is a network time protocol for the AP to synchronize the system time. There is no NTP
server IP address by default. If NTP is needed, IP address of the NTP server must be added and
C1n will synchronize with the NTP server. This measure is useful to maintain the network and
make sure all APs using the same system time by setting the same NTP server.

NOTE: Click the Update icon to store the changed settings.
4.5 SNMP CONFIGURATION
In the SNMP Manager, the administrator can change the Read Community and Write
Community. Access Subnet IP and Access Subnet Mask can be configured to specify the
C1n’s SNMP Manger. Notification Server IP addresses can be added for SNMP control. They
are parameters used for SNMP control between Altai C1n and AWMS system.
By enabling SNMP Manager ACL mode, the C1n will only be managed by the AWMS which IP
is located in the ACL list with correct Read Community, Write Community and SNMP IP
address.
It also supports SNMP Manager Access Control List which allows user to configure a list of
allowed SNMP manager IPs for managing the C1n. When the SNMP manger ACL mode is
enabled, only SNMP request generated from the any of configured SNMP manger on the ACL
will be handled.

4.6 TELNET
Administrator can login to the C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP by telnet command in Command
Prompt via Ethernet or WiFi. For example, to telnet C1n with IP address of 192.168.1.20; telnet
command is “telnet 192.168.1.20 2223”.
NOTE: The telnet port number is limited at 2223.
4.7 NETWORK OPERATION MODE
The default setting for the Network Operation Mode is Switch Mode. If the C1n Super WiFi
CPE/AP is set to Switch Mode, it acts as a switch and routes traffic between the DS and wireless
clients accordingly. When it is in Gateway mode, it acts as a gateway and the Local IP Address

and Local IP Address Mask information must be entered to specify the C1n local interface for
serving the wireless client.
In Switch mode, VLAN mode is by default disabled and clients in different SSID under the
same C1n can communicate with each other. However, if VLAN is enabled, each SSID can be
edited with a specific VLAN tag value. Only clients with same VLAN tag in same or different
SSID can communicate. Moreover, in this mode, DHCPS, NAT and PPPoE configuration have
no effort.
However, in Gateway mode, the DHCPS, NAT and PPPoE configurations can be configured but
the VLAN has no effort.
In Switch mode,
VLAN can be configured
DHCPS, NAT and PPPoE are disabled
In Gateway mode
VLAN is disabled
DHCPS, NAT and PPPoE can be configured

4.8 SWITCH MODE
4.8.1 Static IP address
In IP Assignation, there are two kinds of working mode for C1n CPE/AP: Static IP address
and DHCP Client. By default, C1n CPE/AP is set to DHCP Client under switch mode. In
Switch mode, by clicking Network Configuration in the System page, users can configure the
IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address, as shown in Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure
12.
