Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
The configuration of this device is through web-browser. To access the configuration
interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the
9
device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.0.254, and the subnet-mask is
255.255.255.0. For the first time configuration, please login with username: admin and
password: admin.
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running. Do not
have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment, otherwise it will cause
abnormal situation.
Knowing the Network Application
The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) function.
z Access Point
z WDS mode
z Bridge
z Repeater
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device can act
as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism
between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC. Following are the types of operation
mode.
Bridge
The Ethernet-LAN port will bridge to the radio including AP, WDS, AP+WDS, Repeater
and AP Client.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
10
AP (Access Point) / Bridge
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and
provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client mode
This mode enables the establishment of connection with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly
connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless
adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect one of the wired Ethernet port
to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP
address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode combines up to 5 WDS or AP+WDS devices to a single wireless network; the
device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is
selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only
allows the WDS connection.
AP + WDS
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS connections but
also the wireless clients can survey and associate to the device.
For WDS and AP+WDS connection, please use the same model of devices to establish
the WDS network.
The following table shows the supporting association of wireless radio modes.

Ch 3. Detail Configuration
Operation Mode
This device supports 3 modes of radio. Click the radio button to select one among the
modes.
AP/Bridge: This mode is to setup as an AP-bridge. The other WLAN clients (WLAN
Station) associate to this device to get the LAN connection.
AP Client: This mode is to associate to AP or other clients. For the infrastructure mode,
the bridge-client associates to the AP; for the Ad Hoc mode, the bridge-client
associates to the other bridge-clients in the Ad Hoc network.
Repeater: This mode acts as the AP and also bridges the remote AP to extend the WLAN
coverage.
