Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Before you begin

Please read this User guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and background RF (Radio Frequency) noise in your home or office.

For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to:

1. Avoid redundant obstacles and interference between the wireless devices.

2. Keep your AP away from appliances with a strong electric field or magnetic field, such as a microwave oven or refrigerator. Place the AP near the center of the area in which your wireless device operates.

2.2 Basic requirements

Place your AP in a well ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent. Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) space around the device for heat dissipation.

4.1 Wifi settings

Figure 4.1

• Channel: the channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN

should use a different channel. We advice a ratio of 5 points so you should use a combination of channel 1, 6 or 11. If you are not sure which channel is best to use, then keep the value of “auto”.

Use Wifi-Info-View to determine which channel is available for usage. You can download the free utility on the website:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html

• Transmit power: the transmit power can be set to a bare minimum (1mW) or maximum

power (100mW) for better performance. (As from 2018 the maximum outlet level in Europe is set to 30 Mw)

Figure 4.1.2

• Band: you only are able to choose 2.4GHz (802g+n) band since it is a single-band

module according to the “N-standard”.

• HT Mode: allows you to specify whether the AP should transmit on 20MHz or 40MHz

bandwidth.

• Force 40MHz mode: for maximum speed you should enable this mode. Modern devices

all are compatible with this mode. However, if you do own an older device that does not function well, you should disable it to guarantee maximum device compatibility. Always use 20Mhz when you use multiple OptoXSTM Wifi units for an optimal channel array.

• Data rate: this is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access

point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.

• Fragmentation threshold: this feature specifies the maximum size of a packet during the

fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.

• RTS threshold: when the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless

router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

• CTS protection: clear to send (CTS) protection mode is a wireless setting that ensures

clients on a network can connect to an AP when many communication devices are present.

4.2 Security

This module provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE

802.11x, and can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function and are setup with the same security key.

Figure 4.2.1

No encryption

When you choose to disable encryption, this will create an open network. It is commonly used in guest networks.

WEP

When you select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys.

• Input Type: you may select ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal

digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

• Key length: you can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The

larger the key will be, the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower.

• Key1 - Key4: the WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network.

Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "09" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.

• IPv4 address: it is the OptoXS

Wifi module LAN IP-address. Use an IP scan to check if

an IP adress is available.

• IPv4 netmask: looks in a private environment like - 255.255.255.0. Specify a Subnet

Mask for your LAN segment.

• IPv4 Gateway: knowing the IP-address of the default gateway

(usually your router) on your home or business network is important information if you want to successfully troubleshoot a network problem or gain access to your router's web-based management.

• In most cases, the default gateway IP-address is the private IP address assigned to your

router. This is the IP-address that your router uses to communicate with your local home network.

• Use custom DNS Server: normally a custom DNS server will be directed to the router or

server’s IP-address. In some occasions it is possible to use the ISP or a webserver’s IPaddress like Google.nl -> 8.8.8.8.

Chapter 5 Virtual server

5.1 ALG

An application gateway is an application program that runs on the router. When a client program establishes a connection to a destination service, it connects to an application gateway or proxy. The client then negotiates with the proxy server in order to communicate with the destination service. In effect, the proxy establishes the connection with the destination behind the firewall and acts on behalf of the client, hiding and protecting individual computers on the network behind the firewall. This creates two connections: one between the client and the proxy server and one between the proxy server and the destination. Once connected, the proxy makes all packetforwarding decisions. Since all communication is conducted through the proxy server, computers behind the firewall are protected.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting guide

Problem

What to do

The module does not fit into my power socket

• Check whether you do have the correct module in your

hand. EU-models should fit when you are living in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain and Italy. When you live in the UK, Eastern-Europe, Portugal and Scandinavian countries, you do need a different model. Contact your local dealer or reseller.

I do not have any earthed power sockets in my home

• The OptoXS

Wifi module also can be plugged into an un-earthed power socket. Under normal and intended use the electrical safety is guaranteed.

I have plugged-in the module and connected my computer as a wireless client, but I have no internet connection.

• If the white-coloured LED of the module is NOT emitting,

then your wall-socket is not powered. Check your circuit breakers in your utility cabinet. In case of any doubt contact your local electrician.

• If the white coloured LED is constantly shining, you should

check wether you have plugged in the module in an OptoXSTM enabled power socket. To do that, you should unplug the module and - while keeping a minimum distance of 33 cm - look at the wall-outlet- you should see two tiny holes. From the right-handed one, a blinking redcoloured light is emitted. If any light is absent you should check if your OptoXSTM HUB/Switch is powered and is emitting blinking red-coloured signals.

• Rotate the module. You may have plugged-in the module

up-side down. Unplug the module and turn it around. The two tiny holes from the module should be oriented upwards.

Problem

What to do

I have plugged in my module in an optoXSTM enabled wallsocket, do have internet access but cannot login into it to change some settings.

• You need to ensure that your computer is in the same IP

SubnetMask to connect to the web-based utility. By default this is 255.255.255.0. In case of doubt you should check with your DSL/cable modem.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web

browser.

• You need the module’s IP-address for your browser. You

need to login into your DSL/cable modem for this. Go to page 16 of this manual.

• Disable any internet security software running on the

computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall and Windows® may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

• Check the signal level. Move closer to the module to

improve the level or try with another OptoXSTM enabled wall socket.

• First of all you should keep the modules Wifi channel

selection to “Auto”, If that does not help, you should select a Wifi channel that shows less interference. For this you have to login into your module with a web browser. You need the module’s IP-address for this (see page 15).

• The module should not be obstructed by objects in its

immediate surrounding area.

I want to update/upgrade my module.

• You should NOT attempt to flash an OpenWRT firmware

that has not been officially released on Innovience International’s website. You may end-up with a bricked module that has become unusable.

• There is no need to upgrade the module’s firmware during

it’s lifetime.

I have several OptoXS

Wifi modules in my home and I desire seemless roaming from one room to another.

• Roaming requires that you configure each module to

create a wireless network with the SAME SSID (“OptoXS

TM”

by default) AND login key (“00000000” by default). Also

you should use different channels in your network.

Problem

What to do

I did forget my password.

• The only option left is to reset your module to factory

default values. For this you should push the small reset button for at least 10 seconds. Small reset is 5 seconds. The module will restart itself. By default there is NO password to login into the module.
