Master Mode allows a GWN76XX to act as an Access Point Controller managing other GWN76XX access

points. This will allow users adding other access points under one controller and managing them in an
easy and a centralized way.

Master/Slave mode is helpful with large installations that needs more coverage area zones with the same
controller.

Figure 31: Login Page

Warning:

“Set unit as Master” option will forbid the GWN76XX Access Point from being paired by other Master
GWN76XX and can only act as a Master Access point controller.

Users will need to perform a factory reset to the GWN76XX , or unpair it from the initial GWN76XX to make
it open to Master Access Point mode again.

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. GWN76XX 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”.

P a g e | 57

GWN76XX User Manual

Version 1.0.19.25

Note:

 The slave AP has the option ”Allow DHCP Option 43 to override GWN Manager Address” enabled

by default.

Figure 33: Option 43 Override

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 GWN76XX follows the below
steps:

1. Connect to the GWN76XX Web GUI as Master and go to Access Points.

Figure 34: Discover and Pair GWN76XX

2. Click on to discover access points within GWN76XX Network, the following page
will appear.

Figure 35: Discovered Devices

 40MHz Channel Location: Configure the 40MHz channel location

when using 20MHz/40MHz in Channel Width, users can set it to be
Secondary below Primary, Primary below Secondary or Auto.

 Channel: Select Auto, or a specified channel, default is Auto. Note

that the proposed channels depend on Country Settings under
System SettingsMaintenance.

 Enable Short Guard Interval: Check to activate this option to

increase throughput.

 Radio Power: Set the Radio Power, it can be Low, Medium or High.
 Enable Minimum RSSI: Configures whether to enable/disable

Minimum RSSI function.

 Custom Wireless Power(dBm): allows users to set a custom

wireless power for both 5GHz/2.4GHz band, the value of this field
must be between 1 and 31.

 Allow Legacy Devices(802.11b): Check to support 802.11b devices

to connect the AP in 802.11n/g mode.

 Dynamic Channel Assignment: Once enabled, AP will try to

allocate and move the best channel during operation, unlike Auto
Channel Selection (ACS) which scan and assign channel when Wi­Fi interface goes up for one time.

 Transmit Power Control: TPC algorithm runs every 10 minutes. AP

acquires the RSSI information of the neighbor by wireless scanning
and establishes the neighbor table. The algorithm requires that there
must be at least 3 neighbor APs with RSSI larger than -70dbm.
Otherwise, power will not be adjusted.

 Coverage Hole Detection: CHD enables AP to decide whether to

increase the AP power by the current SNR and SNR threshold of the
connected clients.

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.

P a g e | 61

GWN76XX User Manual

Version 1.0.19.25

Figure 37: 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

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. Use that button to switch to master and takeover the rest of the APs.

Important notes:

 If you click « Switch to Master », this would be become a non-revertible behavior. Failover Slave

will become actual master and the prior master can't take back the control anymore.

 When Failover Slave is switched to Master, you will use the Prior Master AP credentials: username:

admin, and the admin password.

 Otherwise, when original master comes back online, then Failover Slave will become slave again

to prior original Master.

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 73: Authentication rules

Pre-Authentication Rules

Using this option, users can set rules to match traffic that will be allowed for connected Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi clients

after authentication. As an example, if you want to disallow connected Wi-Fi 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.

Version 1.0.19.25

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.

Description

Band Steering

When Frequency is set to Dual-Band, users can check this option to
enable Band Steering on the Access Point, this will help redirecting clients
to a radio band accordingly for efficient use and to benefit from the
maximum throughput supported by the client.

Client Steering

This feature will help Wi-Fi client to roam to other APs within same
Network.
Parameters of RSSI Threshold and Client Access Threshold parameters
will show up only when Client Steering is enabled.

Airtime Fairness

Allow faster clients to have more airtime than slower clients. This feature
is not supported on GWN7600/GWN7600LR/GWN7610.

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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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.

Wi-Fi5 Compatible Mode

Some old devices do not support Wi-Fi6 well, and may not be able to scan

the signal or connect poorly. After turning on this switch, it will switch to

Wi-Fi5 mode to solve the compatibility problem. At the same time, it will
turn off Wi-Fi6 related functions.

Note: This only takes effect for GWN7660.

2.4G & 5G Configuration

 Channel Width: Choose the Channel Width, note that wide

channel will give better speed/throughput, and narrow channel
will have less interference. 20Mhz is suggested in very high­density environment.

 40MHz Channel Location: Configure the 40MHz channel

location when using 20MHz/40MHz in Channel Width, users can
set it to be Secondary below Primary, Primary below Secondary
or Auto.

 Channel: Select Auto, or a specified channel, default is Auto. Note

that the proposed channels depend on Country Settings under
System SettingsMaintenance.

 Radio Power: Set the Radio Power, it can be Low, Medium or

High, or Dynamically assigned by RRM (AP will actively change
TX power depending on RRM settings).

 Enable Short Guard Interval: Check to activate this option to

increase throughput.

 Custom Wireless Power(dBm): allows users to set a custom

wireless power for both 5GHz/2.4GHz band, the value of this field
must be between 1 and 31.

 Allow Legacy Devices(802.11b): Check to support 802.11b

devices to connect the AP in 802.11n/g mode. (2.4GHz setting)

 Dynamic Channel Assignment: Once enabled, AP will try to

allocate and move the best channel during operation, unlike Auto
Channel Selection (ACS) which scan and assign channel when
Wi-Fi interface goes up for one time.

This feature is not supported on GWN7602.

 Transmit Power Control: TPC algorithm runs every 10 minutes.

AP acquires the RSSI information of the neighbor by wireless
scanning and establishes the neighbor table. The algorithm
requires that there must be at least 3 neighbor APs with RSSI
larger than -70dbm. Otherwise, power will not be adjusted.

This feature is not supported on GWN7602.
