Configuration Methods

After installation, the PremierWave EN requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on
a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the PremierWave EN and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:

 Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the

Lantronix Web Manager. (See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 20.)

 DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on

the PremierWave EN using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. (See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 18.)

 Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a

Telnet or SSH connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation
program to the unit’s USB port. (See the PremierWave EN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and available commands.)

 XML: The PremierWave EN supports XML-based configuration and setup records tha t ma ke

device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a
standard text or XML editor. (See the PremierWave EN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)

2: Introduction

Addresses and Port Numbers

Hardware Address

The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. Sample hardware address:

 00-80-A3-14-1B-18

 00:80:A3:14:1B:18

IP Address

Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP add ress. This address references
the specific unit.

Port Numbers

Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port nu mber. For example, a Telnet serv er commonly u ses
TCP port number 23.

The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the PremierWave EN:

 TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
 TCP Port 21: FTP
 UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
 TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)

PremierWave EN User Guide 16

 UDP Port 1900 and TCP Port 30179: UPnP

Note: The hardware address on the

label is also the product serial number.
The hardware address on the label is the
address for the Ethernet (eth0) interface.
The WLAN (wlan0) interface uses the
Ethernet address "+1". For example, if
the product label hardware address is
00-80-A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet
address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18 and the
WLAN address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-19.

5: Network Settings

The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet or WLAN interface/link and let you
configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP
and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP
traffic.

The PremierWave EN contains two network interfaces.Only one interface m ay be active at a time;
however, if bridging is enabled, both interfaces will be activated and controlled by the bridging
subsystem. The Ethernet interface is also called interface 1 or eth0, and the WLAN interface is
called interface 2 or wlan0.

Notes:

 Some settin gs require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
 Wait a minimum of 10-20 seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make

any subsequent connections.

 The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a

user-specified name.

Network Interface Settings

Table 5-1 shows the network interface settings that can be configured.

These settings apply to both the Ethernet (eth0) and WLAN (wlan0) interfaces, but are configured
independently for each interface.

PremierWave will attempt to obtain IP settings from a BOOTP server.

Note: Overrides the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname, and

domain. When DHCP is Enabled, the system automatically uses DHCP,
regardless of whether BOOTP is Enabled. Changing this value requires you to
reboot the device.

PremierWave will attempt to obtain IP settings from a DHCP server and will
periodically renew these settings with the server.

Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway,

hostname, and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.

Note: Within WebManager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease.

Settings (continued)

IP Address Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in

CIDR format.

Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP

are Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When
DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWave EN tries to obtain an IP address
from a DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave EN generates
and uses an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network
mask of 255.255.0.0.

Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network.

Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP

are Disabled).

Hostname Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number,

continue with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter
or number.

Note: This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the

hostname with a DNS server until the next reboot.

Domain Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.

Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if

DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.

DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. The DHCP

server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The
lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the
PremierWave EN MAC address.

Primary DNS Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.

Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if

DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.

Secondary DNS Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.

Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if

DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.

MTU When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.

When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this
value is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being
1500 bytes.

SmartRoam

SmartRoam monitors the signal strengths of all in-range access points belonging to the Extended
Service Set (ESS) to which the PremierWave is currently connected. When an AP is found with a
signal strength which is significantly greater than that of the currently associated AP, SmartRoam
automatically switches to the new AP. This reduces interruptions in wireless connectivity and
ensures optimal signal strength. Roaming happens automatically and is comp letely transparent to
the user; no loss of network connectivity should occur.

PremierWave EN User Guide 27

5: Network Settings

SmartRoam periodically scans for access points which belong to the current ESS (having the
same SSID and security settings at the currently associated AP.) The results are then searched
for an AP with a 'stronger' signal (higher RSSI) than the current AP. If the search is successful,
SmartRoam triggers a disconnection from the current AP and a connection to the one selected
from the scan results.

Since moving between access points are a time-consuming process which can negatively impact
throughput, SmartRoam employs a delta value to ensure that the move only occurs if there would
be a significant gain in signal strength. When searching the results of a scan, SmartRoam only
considers those APs whose RSSI exceeds that of the currently associated AP by at least the delta
value.

Note: RSSI is reported in two different ways. When displayed in scan results the RSSI

is an instantaneous value obtained from a single beacon/probe response, and therefore
may vary across scan results. When reported in the status of the current connection (for
the associated access point) the value is averaged over time and is less prone to
fluctuation.
