This chapter describes the major fu nctions of t he FLEXLAN series as a wireless LAN system and the
wireless link modes of the product along with configurati o n e xa m ples of net w or k s ava ilable in the
wireless link modes.

Wirele ss Lin k Mode

This product has three wireless link modes. The availabl e f unctions and network configurations differ
depending on t he mode. Use the wireless link mode most suitable t o the type of network you are
constructing.
The fa ctory default setting is “Advanced Infrastructure Mode”.
Chapters 3 and 4 describe the software setting procedures for t he wireless link modes and related it ems.

Standard Infrastructure Mode

In this mode, each access point (AP) can accommodate stations (ST) to m ake up a network.
This mode all ows the use of multiple APs to configure a wide-ar ea wireless LAN . All communication
betw een w i reless terminal s must go thr ou gh an AP.

Figure 5.1. Standard Infrastructure Mode

In the Standard Infrastructure mode above, all wir eless t ermina ls communic a t e via AP. Roaming
functions are support ed, allowing login to any AP within range of radio waves.
For the IP tunneling function to work properly, one of the APs must be setup as a master AP.

What’s Repeater?

The repeater used with the wireless LAN is a function that operates the wireless LAN equipment as a pair
of virtual wireless LAN devices (VAP). One of these devices is se t as the acces s poin t and the other is set
as the station.
It is poss ible to co nnect to other access po ints from the station and to log in to the access point from other
stations.

Specification for Repeater and Wire less Connection Mode

When a piece of equipment is set as a repeater, its VAP1 becomes an access point and its VAP2 becomes
a station. In this situation, if you set "Wireless Conne ction Mode" to "Advanced Infrastructure", the
repeater's access point side will operate in "Advanced Infra structure" mode and the repeater's station side
will operate in "Standard Infrastructure" mode.

If you set "Wirele s s Connection Mode" to "Compatible Infrastr uc ture" , both the access point and the
station will op erate in "Compa ti bl e Infr as tru cture" mode. In this situatio n, th e multi -client function of
VAP2 (t he sta t ion) will b e forcibl y enabled.

If you set "Wirele s s Connection Mode" to "Adv a nced Infrastructure", you will be able to conne c t to
stations in "Standard Infras tructure" mode and to s tations in "Compatible Infrastructure" mode.
f you will only use CONTEC series devices to construct your system, we recommend that you operate the
repeate r in "Adv anced Infrastructure" mode.

AUTION

Recommended Setting

When "Wireless Connection Mode" is set to "Compatible Infrastructure", the VAP2 (station side) of each
repeater located under this device is also set to "Compatible Infrastructure" mode. As such, all terminals
under the repeater have the same MAC ad dress in the PC1 ARP table.

In thi s situation, clients roam from WLAN2 to WLAN1, and communication cannot be performed from
PC1 to 192.168.1.11. The reason for this is that if a client connects to WLAN1, its MAC addr ess will be
changed.

To have PC1 perform communication, you have to delete the PC1 ARP table, and have PC1 learn the

192.168.1.11 MAC address aga in.

PC1 is linked to the client roamin g , s o t he PC1 AR P table cannot be d elete d. When you use repeaters to
construct your system, we recommend tha t you oper ate the repeaters in "Advanced Infrastructure" mode.

If AP s w ithout "Standar d I n frastru ctu r e " m ode made b y other com pa nies exist within your s y st e m,

you will not be able to use "Advanced Infrastructure" mode.
For example, if WLAN1 in the above figure is an access point made by another company and you set
WLAN2 to "Ad vanced Infras tructure" mode, WLAN1 and WLAN2 will not be ab le to c ommunicate
with each other.

Notes

When you configure the device to operate as a repeater, regardl ess of whether the network configuration
is chain or star, use the "Preferred AP" function to specify the connection destination access point.
Also, you have to set the "Connections to Non-Prefer re d A Ps" funct i o n t o "D isable" i n ord er to prev e nt
loops between repeaters with unauthorized connections to une xpected access points .

(1) Use the preferred access points to specify the connection destinations to establish an arbitrary

connecti on structure.

(2) If you do not fix the connection destinations, loops may occur between repeaters.

If you s et a device as a repeater , s et all parts of the wirele s s n et work to t h e same ch annel s and the sa me
wireless LAN standard.

For exa mp le, if you c on s tr u ct a network w ith one access point and two re p e a t ers for a tota l o f three pie c es
of wirele s s equipment, configure all th e equipment so that the same w ireless LAN st anda rd and the same
channels are used.

Installation in a Network

This section de scri bes how to in stall th e FXA2000-G to construct a network with improved performance
and discu sses the general features a nd radio characteri stics of the wireless LAN as well as the guidelines
for constructing the network.

Features of th e Wi rele ss Network

In general, the operation of a wireless network is the same as for most other types of LAN. T he most
prominent feature of the wireless net work i s that it us es radio wave s as its mediu m , elim inati n g th e need
for cabling. The wireless network thus requires no cabling cost and has other advantages as listed
below

:

- Quick construction of a LAN

- Temporary installation of a LAN

- Higher flexibility in layout of connected PCs (terminals)

- Assured mobility of connected PCs (terminals)
On the other hand, the wireless network ha s the following drawbacks from the operati onal point of view

due to the na t u r e o f ra dio wave s

- Signal attenuation

- Signal interference
Also, although this unit does not require a radio license, it is subject to radio regulations.

Operating Environment and Radio Waves

When usi ng this product to construc t a network, install and oper a te it consi dering the radio environmen t
to optimize t he perf orman c e.

Is allowed to use radio equipment at the installation location?
In some medical institutions an d laboratories, rad io-se nsitive precision instruments are used an d it may be

prohibited to use radio equipment.

Radio waves are at tenuated.
Although a radio wave is attenuated naturally as it travels fro m its transmission sou r c e, it may als o b e

attenuated by an object existing in its way. Major obstacles th at attenuate radio waves are as fo llow s

- Concrete wall

- Metal surfaces in the vicinity of the antenna

Obstacles blocking radio waves include metal walls and walls containin g a metal firewall.
Stric tly speaking, nearly all objec ts in the pat h of the radio waves (such as part itions or people) cause

some attenuation but these do no t have a significant impact on network performance.
RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication) utili ty is available as a means of knowing the sign al strength of

an incoming radio wave. Placing this product for a greater RSSI value makes the communication state
more stable. If the RSSI value is s ma ll a nd slightly m oving the p os it ion of the product does not increase
the RSS I value, it indica tes radio wave attenuation either to the distanc e or by an obstacle.

5. Wireless Link Mode and Wireless LAN Function

Pay attention to radio interference.
Radio interference means the reception of radio waves in the frequency band used by this network that are

generated by equipment that is not part of the network to which this product belongs. Listed below are
major examples of sour ces of inter fering radio waves generated in general environment s excluding plants
and fact or ies

:

- 5GHz (if using IEEE 802.11n draft standard or IEEE 802.11a standard in the 5GHz band) or 2.4GHz
(if using IEEE 802.11n draft standard or IEEE 802.11b/IEEE 802.11g s tandard in the 2.4GHz band)
band wi re l e s s net w or ks that do no t c om ply with IE EE 8 02.11 .

- if using IEEE 802.11b/IEEE 802.11g standard in the 2.4GHz band. Ex . microwave ovens, security
gates (ins talled near the entrances of some departme nt stores and rental shops), copiers which give off the

2.4GHz ele ct r i c wave s.

Where there is a l arg e metal wall such as in a warehouse, the radio wave generated from the sender is
reflected, resulting in those radio waves reaching the receiver which have taken different routes (thereby
phase-shif ted). This has the s imilar effect as the generation of interferi ng radio waves, possibly slowing
down dat a tr a n s f er.

Most of the interfering radio wave sources other than wireless networks have local and/or temporary
effects, not so affecting network performance. Rarely, however, the date rate is reduced and, in the
worst case, communicati o n is disabled temporarily. In such cases, change the location of this product
and the cha n n el u s e d for c om municat ion. T his may sol v e the proble m .

Constructing a Network

This section gives some pointers and cautions relating to construct ing a network using the AP a nd station,
and pro vi d e s so m e practica l e xamples .
(1) When using this product in the 5GHz band, any of the following channels ca n be set:

W52: channels 36, 40, 44, and 48
W53: channels 52, 56, 60, and 64
W56: channels 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, and 140.
W58: channels 149, 153, 157, 161, and 165.
When usi ng in IEEE 802.11g (2.4GHz), channels 1 to 13, and in IEEE 802.11b (2.4GHz), channels 1
to 14 can be set.
Wireless communication is possib le wit h stations that support the a bo v e c ha nnels.
Using differen t channel s for wi r e l e s s network s a djacent t o ea c h other (In 5GHz band , set it to 36.44,
8ch or more apart and in 2.4GHz, 1, 6, 11 5ch or more apart) prevents radio interference and
improves the throughput of either network.

(2) Check the coverage (cover area) of the AP. To use the AP with two or more station logged in AP,

all the station must b e install e d with in the cov er area. The AP’s co vera ge varies wi t h obstacles
(concrete wal l s, i ron doors , elevator halls, etc .) . Note also that the number of transmission/reception
errors increases beyond a certain transmission distance.

When set ting up the network, chec k the RSSI le vel then confirm that communication works correctly
with the application you plan to use. For a TCP/IP system, for exampl e, you can use the Windows
PING command. T o use PING, start the command prompt (MS-DOS) and enter the following command.
The exa m pl e c ommand is fo r an AP wit h an IP addr e s s of 192.168.0.2.

(3) Two or more stations can log in the AP at the same time However, remember that the

communication speed slows due to the increased loading as the n um ber of user units for a pa rticular
AP increases.

(4) If a pair of wireless terminal s are commu nicat ing via a particu l a r ch annel , no other commu nicat ions

can use that channel within the range of the r a dio signal (the exception is bro a dcast ing which
transmits to all terminals). As a result, communication speed tends to drop as the density of
wireless terminals increases although this depends to a large extent on how frequently the network is
used.

(5) If the AP is connected to an Ethernet hub or similar, a unexpectedly la rge load can occur on the AP if

the Ethernet traffic is heavy and thi s may redu ce the perfor ma nce of th e wirel ess net w or k. This can
be solv e d by changing t h e hu b connect e d to the AP to a switching hu b ( br i dge).

(6) Setup the software in accordance with how t he network will be used.

(7) The c ommunicati o n sp e ed may also drop due to interference if two wireless terminals are lo cated

close to each other. In general, maintain a gap of about 1m between station, 3m between APs and
station, and 3m between APs.

(8) The best performance is achieved from antennas if they are located in an open space free fr om

obstructions. Avoid locating antennas where they will be hidden. In par ticular, when
communication distance is an important consideration, i t is recommended that you install antennas in
a high location with a clear view.

Saving the Settings File

Making a backup of the AP software settings file has the following benefits

- If you have more than one AP and all APs have the same settings, you just need to setup one AP then
use the resulting settings f il e for the other APs. (However, as this sets the same IP address for all
APs, you need to change the IP address separately.)

- The ol d s et ting s can be res t o r e d easily if a fault cause s the setti ngs fil e t o be erased.

The settings file is stored the CF card with the following file name.

File name --- --- --- --- --- CONFIG

If the MAC address filtering is used, it’s settin g f ile shoul d al s o b e sa v e d. T he setting file is store d in

7. Troubleshooting

This chapter des cribes c o m mo n problem s tha t ma y oc cu r wi t h this product and what to do about them.
If any problems occur that are not described here, check to confirm that the re-occur, then contact the
retailer.

When Communication Fails

Chec k wired LAN comm unication
Chec k the wired LA N communication between this product and the connected PC.

- Check th a t the LAN cable is conn e c t e d corre ct ly.

- Chec k if the IP addresses and subnet masks of the prod uc t and PC are set correct ly.

- The communication with this product is not possible unless th e TCP/IP protocol is in stalled in the
PC.

Check w irele s s L A N co mmunicati on
If no problem is detected in the wi red LAN communicat ion between the product and PC, check the

wireless LAN comm unication between the produc t and access point.

- The FLE X L AN s eries is des igned to ha n dle a variety of operating formats, and requir es software
setting for eac h type of operation. Check that the se ttings are appropri ate for the type of operation,
and check the format in which communication is being attempted. Also check DIP switch sett ings.

- The termina ls that ca n n o t co mmunicate with each other may ha ve the sam e E S S I D . Two t ermina ls
with th e sa m e E SSID cannot co mmunicate with each other.

- Check w h ether the wire less lin k m o d e has bee n s et correctly. The wireless link mode of the s tation

(slave sta tion) mu st support t he wireless li nk m o de set on thi s product .

- Check w h ether c ommunicati o n i s r e s t r icted by s e curity functions such as the MAC address filtering.

- Check whether the data encryption se tting is the same as that of the recip ient.
Communication cannot b e p erformed w hi l e data encr y ption is be ing swit ch e d be tween ON ( enabled)
and OFF (disabled).

Check the peripheral environment and place of installation

- A nearby source of electro magne tic interfer e nce can prevent c o mmuni ca tion . In gener a l locations
(excluding factories) the following may be sources of electromagnetic emissions.

- 2.4GHz band wireless network not conforming to wireless LAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/n).

- When u sin g by 2.4GH z ba nd, elect r ic device s w hich give off 2.4GHz ba n d e lectric wave ­microw ave oven, security gate (it is a antitheft gate in the shop ) , copy machine and so on.

Most electromagnetic sources other than wireless networks are local and not continuous, and therefore by
moving the locat ion of the unit and waiting briefly, c ommuni cation ma y be possibl e .

FXA2000-G

7. Troubleshooting

- Somet imes communication is hindered by attenuation of elect ric waves . Attenuation occurs
naturally as distance from the source of transmission increases, but may also be caused by objects in
the path of the transmission. The objects primarily resp onsible f or attenuation are the following.

- Concrete walls

- Metallic s urfaces around this product

Setup Screen Unavailable on Web Browser

- Check if commu nication is possible between the product and PC.

- If no problem is detected in the communication between the product and PC, it may be related to the
browser settings. For the browser settings, see Chapter 3 “Connectio n to Devices and Setup
Methods”.

When the AP Will Not Start

Check the LED

- Check whether the “POWER” LED i s illu mi nat ed. If it is no t il l u minat e d, ch eck th e po w er cabl e
and make s ure that it is connected correctly to the pow er jack and the socket.

- Check whether the Power LED is flashing. I f the power LED is still fla shing more than 5 minutes
after the power is switched on, the problem may be an AP firmware failure.
In this case, the problem may be a startup error caused by corrupt data in the memory of this product.
If you cannot restore it, contact your retailer.

Chec k the power

- If using an AC adapter, check that the adapter is an optional accessory of a type specified by
CONTEC. Only use AC adap t er s sp e cified by CO NTEC wit h t his produ c t.

- If su pplying power from the power connector, check the power supply connection, supply voltage,
etc., and make sure that there are no problems. For de ta i l s a bou t conne ct i n g the power supply, se e
