WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing Grandstream GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR Enterprise Wireless Access
Point.
The GWN7610 is a high-performance 802.11ac wireless access point for small to medium sized
businesses, multiple floor offices, commercial locations and branch offices. It offers dual-band 3x3:3 MIMO
technology and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and expanded Wi-Fi
coverage range. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7610 uses a controller-less
distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s Web user
interface. This allows each access point to manage a network of up to 50 GWN76XX independently without
needing seperate controller hardware/software and without a single point-of-failure.
The GWN7600 is a mid-tier Wave-2 802.11ac WiFi access point for small to medium sized businesses,
multiple floor offices, commercial locations and branch offices. The GWN7600LR Outdoor Long-range
802.11ac Wave-2 Wi-Fi Access Point is designed to provide extended coverage support. Ideal for outdoor
Wi-Fi solutions thanks to its waterproof casing and heat resistant technology. The GWN7600/GWN7600LR
come equiped with dual-band, 2x2:2 MU-MIMO with beam-forming technology and a sophisticated
antenna design for maximum network throughput and expanded Wi-Fi coverage range for both Indoor
(GWN7600) and Outdoor deployement (GWN7600LR).
To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7600/GWN7600LR uses a controller-less
distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s web user
interface. This allows each access point to manage a network of up to 30 GWN76XX series APs
independently without needing separate controller hardware/software and without a single point-of-failure.
This wireless access point can be paired with any third party routers as well as Grandstream GWN series
routers. With support for advanced QoS, low-latency real-time applications, 450+ concurrent client devices
per AP and dual Gigabit network ports with PoE, the GWN7600/GWN7600LR is an ideal WiFi access point
for medium wireless network deployments with medium-to-high user density.

Discover and Pair Other GWN76xx Access Point
First, note that by default the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected
to the same LAN (broadcast domain), but starting from firmware 1.0.5.13/1.0.514 a new possibility has
been added in order to pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43 with master direction
explained below.
Master Direction
To pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP
address of master AP on DHCP option 43 which will be send to the slave access point during booting
stage and allow the save/master connection to be established remotely. GWN7610 accepts option 224
encapsulated in option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple example of DHCP 43 configuration
would be:
224(Type)12(Length)10.157.0.234(Value) translated into Hex as e00c31302e3135372e302e323334

Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network
192.168.1.0/24 and slave AP located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On remote network the admin
can set DHCP option 43 using GWN7000 router as following value:
encap:43,224,”192.168.1.100”.
After that the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for paring and
provisioning process which is described on the next steps.
To Pair a GWN76XX access point connected to the same Network as the
GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR follows the below steps:

Failover Master
In a Master-Slave architecture, having a backup Master is critical for redundancy and failover function,
thus, and in order to avoid a single point of failure in your wireless network, you can specify a slave AP as
failover master. Whenever it detects the master is down, it will promote itself as failover master within a
time frame of around 20~30 minutes by entering failover mode. After then, if the master AP comes back,
failover master will automatically go back to slave mode, or if the master doesn’t come back to alive,
Administrator can login using “failover” account to turn the failover master as true master and take over all
controls.

Figure 29: Failover Master
Users could select the failover Master by following below steps:
• Log into web GUI of the master GWN.
• Go to Access Points page.
• Press
• Select from the available paired Slave Aps the candidate to become a failover Master.
• Save and Apply the settings.
Failover Mode
Once failover slave has been selected, the primary master will send the configuration of the network to the
failover slave and the slave will start monitoring the status of the primary master to detect any failure for
any reason (network connection loss, power outage).
In case of failure, the failover slave will promote itself to a temporary backup master while waiting for the
primary master to come back.
During the failover mode users could access the web GUI of the failover slave using a special failover
account with same admin password.
• Username = failover
• Password = admin password

reboot other slave Access points in case it is needed.
Users also can press on « Switch to master » button in order to set the failover slave as the new primary
master of the wireless network, once this is done they have full write permission control over the web GUI
option as usual.
Client Bridge
The Client Bridge feature allows an access point to be configured as a client for bridging wired only clients
wirelessly to the network. When an access point is configured in this way, it will share the WiFi connection
to the LAN ports transparently. This is not to be confused with a mesh setup. The client will not accept
wireless clients in this mode.
Once a SSID has the Client Bridge Support enabled, the AP adopted in this SSID can be turned in to
Bridge Client mode by click the Bridge button .
Please be noted that once an AP it turned into Client Bridge mode, it cannot be controlled by a Master
anymore, and a factory reset is required to turn it back into normal AP mode.
Figure 31: Client Bridge
Important Notes :
• The access point that will be operating on bridge mode, must be set with a fixed IP address before
activating the bridge mode on the access point.
• Users must enable client bridge support option under SSID or SSID WiFi settings in order to have
it fully functional. See [Client Bridge Support]

isolation can be helpful to increase security for Guest networks/Public
WiFi.
Three modes are available:
• Radio Mode: Wireless clients can access to the internet services,
GWN7xxx router and the access points
GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR but they cannot communicate
with each other.
• Internet Mode: Wireless clients will be allowed to access only the
internet services and they cannot access any of the management
services, either on the router nor the access points
GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR.
• Gateway MAC Mode: Wireless clients can only communicate with

RSSI Enabled
Check to enable RSSI function, this will lead the AP to disconnect users
below the configured threshold in Minimum RSSI (dBm).
Minimum RSSI (dBm)
Enter the minimum RSSI value in dBm. If the signal value is lower than the
configured minimum value, the client will be disconnected. The input range
is from “-94” or “-1”.
Beacon Interval
Configures interval between beacon transmissions/broadcasts.
The Beacon signals help to keep the network synchronized and provide
main information about the network such as SSID, Timestamp…
• Using High Beacon Interval: AP will be sending beacon
broadcast less frequently. This will help to get better throughput,
thus better speed/performance. It also helps to save WiFi clients
energy consumption.
• Using Low Beacon Interval: AP will be sending beacon
broadcast more frequently. This can help in environments with
weak signal areas; sending more frequently beacons will increase
chances to be received by WiFi clients with weak signal.
Notes:
1. When AP enables several SSIDs with different interval values,
the max value will take effect.
2. When AP enables less than 3 SSIDs, the interval value which
will be effective are the values from 40 to 500.
3. When AP enables more than 2 but less than 9 SSIDs, the
interval value which will be effective are the values from 100 to
500.
4. When AP enables more than 8 SSIDs, the interval value which
will be effective are the values from 200 to 500.
5. Mesh feature will take up a share when it is enabled.
Default value is 100ms. Valid range: 40 – 500 ms.
DTIM Period
Configures the frequency of DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message)
transmission per each beacon broadcast. Clients will check the AP for
buffered data at every configured DTIM Period. You may set a high value
for power saving consideration.
P a g e | 55
GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR User Manual
Version 1.0.7.13
Default value is 1, meaning that AP will have DTIM broadcast every
beacon. If set to 10, AP will have DTIM broadcast every 10 beacons.
Valid range: 1 – 10.
Multicast to Unicast
Once selected, AP will convert multicast streams into unicast streams over
the wireless link. Which helps to enhance the quality and reliability of
video/audio stream and preserve the bandwidth available to the non-
video/audio clients.
Enable Voice Enterprise
Check to enable/disable Voice Enterprise. The roaming time will be
reduced once enable voice enterprise.
• The 802.11k standard helps clients to speed up the search for
nearby APs that are available as roaming targets by creating an
optimized list of channels. When the signal strength of the current
AP weakens, your device will scan for target APs from this list.
• When your client device roams from one AP to another on the
same network, 802.11r uses a feature called Fast Basic Service
Set Transition (FT) to authenticate more quickly. FT works with
both pre-shared key (PSK) and 802.1X authentication methods.
• 802.11v allows client devices to exchange information about the
network topology, including information about the RF
environment, making each client network aware, facilitating
overall improvement of the wireless network.

Time Policy
The timed client disconnect feature allows the system administrator to set a fixed time for which clients
should be allowed to connect to the access point, after which the client will no longer be allowed to connect
for a user configurable cool-down period.
The configuration is based on a policy where the administrator can set the amount of time for which clients
are allowed to connect to the WiFi and reconnect type and value after which they will be allowed to connect
back after they have been disconnected.
To create a new policy, go under Clients→Time Policy and add new one., then set the following

In case social media authentication is used, the user needs to allow some traffic between the AP and social
medial platforms (Facebook API as example) to send authentication credentials and receive reply, this
traffic can be allowed using the Authentication rules which are explained below.
Figure 47: Authentication rules
Pre-Authentication Rules
Using this option, users can set rules to match traffic that will be allowed for connected WiFi users before
authentication process. This can be needed for example to setup Facebook authentication where some
traffic should be allowed to Facebook server(s) to process the user’s authentication. Or simply to be used
to allow some type of traffic for unauthenticated users.
Post-Authentication Rules
On the other hand, post authentication rules are used to match traffic that will be banned for WiFi clients
after authentication. As an example, if you want to disallow connected WiFi clients to issue Telnet or SSH
traffic after authentication then you can set post authentication rules to match that traffic and once a
connected client passes the authentication process they will be banned from issuing telnet and SSH
connections.

Vouchers
Voucher Feature Description
Voucher feature will allow clients to have internet access for a limited duration using a code that is randomly
generated from GWN controller.
As an example, a coffee shop could offer internet access to customers via WiFi using voucher codes that
can be delivered on each command. Once the voucher expires the client can no longer connect to the
internet.
P a g e | 70
GWN7610/GWN7600/GWN7600LR User Manual
Version 1.0.7.13
Note that multiple users can use a single voucher for connection with expiration duration of the voucher
that starts counting after first successful connection from one of the users that are allowed.
Another interesting feature is that the admin can set data bandwidth limitation on each created voucher
depending on the current load on the network, users’ profile (VIP customers get more speed than regular
ones...etc) and the internet connection available (fiber, DSL or cable…etc) to avoid connection congestion
and slowness of the service.
Each created voucher can be printed and served to the customers for usage, and the limit is 1000 vouchers.
The usage of voucher feature needs to be combined with captive portal that is explained after this section,
in order to have the portal page requesting clients to enter voucher code for authentication.
Voucher Configuration
To configure/create vouchers for clients to use, follow below steps:
1. On controller web GUI, navigate under “Captive Portal → Vouchers”
2. Click on button in order to add a new voucher.
3. Enter voucher details which are explained on the next table.
4. Press save to create the voucher(s).
Notes:
• Users can specify how many vouchers to generate which have the same profile, this way the GWN
will generate as many vouchers as needed which do have the same settings avoiding creating
them one by one.
• The admin can verify the status of each vocoder on the list (In use, not used, expired …etc).
• Press to print the voucher, to delete it or to renew the voucher.

Using Voucher with GWN Captive Portal
In order to successfully use the voucher feature, users will need to create a captive portal in order to
request voucher authentication codes from users before allowing them access to internet. More details
about captive portal will be covered on next section but for voucher configuration please follow below steps.
1. Go under “Captive Portal → Captive portal” menu.
2. Press in order to add new captive portal policy.
3. Set the following parameters as shown on the screenshot for basic setup then save and apply.

MESH NETWORK
In Mesh Network, wireless connection is established between multiple Aps, which is used to passthrough
data traffic rather than client association. Each AP will evaluate the performance of wireless channel based
on several factors and choose one or multiple appropriate APs to setup connection.
In a mesh network, access points are categorized to two types:
• CAP (Central Access Point): this is an access point that has an uplink connection to the wired
network.
• RE (Range Extender): This is an access point that participate on the mesh network topology and
has a wireless uplink connection to the central network.
In order to deploy mesh access points (RE), users/installers can follow below steps:
1. Make sure to have the master and CAP access points already deployed (sometimes the CAP
access points can be the master controller of the network).
2. Next, we need to pair the RE access points to the master. This can be done in two ways:
A. Connect all REs to the same wired LAN as the master then perform the normal process of
discovery/pairing process, and after successfully pairing the APs they can be deployed on the
field.
B. REs can also be discovered wirelessly when powered via PSU or PoE Injector, and admin
can configure them after discovery. This requires that the REs must be within the range of the
Master or CAP Slave’s signals coverage.
Note: If there are other GWN APs broadcasting in the same field with different subnet, RE may be
wirelessly connected to those networks and cannot be discovered and paired by your Master.
Therefore, it is recommended to use the first method of wired pairing and then deploy those REs.
3. After that all slave access points have been deployed and paired to the master, you can directly
manage them to operate the mesh network. Mesh service configuration is the same as transitional
GWN WLAN.
4. Log into the master page, and under Access Points page you can see the information, for example
the AP in the “Online Wireless” state is the RE (Range Extender) with a wireless uplink to the
CAP. The APs showing “Online” state are either a wired master or CAP.

will be mapped to the SSID using VLAN tag, for example when creating a DHCP pool under “System
Settings → DHCP Server” users need to set a VLAN ID and same one should be set under SSID to map
the configured DHCP pool with the SSID. This way users could configure multiple SSIDs mapped to
multiple VLANs on the network in which case they are isolated by layer 2 switching.
