1.4 Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance and operating coverage of WNAP-1120.

1. Site selection

To avoid interferences, please locate WNAP-1120 and wireless client away from transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights and other industrial equipments. Keep th e number of walls or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible. Otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WNAP-1120 in an open space or add additional WNAP-1120 as needed to improve the coverage.

2. Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environment factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operation rage of WNAP-1120 in a specific location without testing.

3. Antenna adjustment

WNAP-1120 1T2R 11n is designed for MIMO technology. The two antennas (circled) are designe d for TX/RX (Transmitting / Receiving).

The bundle antennas of WNAP-1120 are adjustable. Firstly install the antennas pointing straight up, and then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the antenna. Moreover, the original antennas of WNAP-1120 can be replaced with other external antennas t o extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used on WNAP-1120.

4. WLAN Type

If WNAP-1120 is installed in an 802.11n and 802.11b/g mixed WLAN, its performance will be

reduced significantly. Because every 802.11n OFDM packet needs to be preced ed by an RTS-CTS or CTS packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b/g devices. This additional overhead lowers the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or if connections to all

802.11b/g devices are denied so that WNAP-1120 can operate in 11n-only mode, then its data rate should actually 300Mbps.

1.5 Reset/WPS Button

WNAP-1120 provides a Reset button on the rear panel for user to restart or set WNAP-1120 configuration to factory default.

RST / WPS Button

This button has two functions:

To Clear All Data and restore the factory default values:

Press the RST (reset) button for longer than 20 seconds until the LED of power flash, and then the router will reset itself to the factory default settings. (Warning: your original config urations will be replaced with the factory default settings)

To make Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) simple and easier:

Press the WPS button (for less than 3 seconds); machine will start WPS function to build connection between wireless network clients and this wireless router.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary t hat you have enough information about the WNAP-1120.

1. Locate an optimum location for the WNAP-1120. The best place for your WNAP-1120 is

usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

2. Assemble the antenna to WNAP-1120. Try to place them to a position that can best cover your

wireless network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.

3. Con nect RJ-45 cable to WNAP-1120. Connect this WNAP-1120 to your LAN switch/hub or a

single PC.

4. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, WNAP-1120 will start to

work.

Note:

ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WNAP-1120. Otherwise, the product may be damaged. If you want to reset your WNAP-1120 to default settings, press the Reset button 15 seconds. Then release the button and wait for 10 seconds for rebooting.

Chapter 3 Web Configuration

Web configuration provides a user-friendly graphical user interface (web pages) to manage your WNAP-1120. An AP with an assigned IP address (e.g. http://192.168.1.1 configure (via web browser e.g., MS Internet Explorer or Netscape).

1. Open your web browser.

2. Enter WNAP-1120 IP address (default IP address is http://192.168.1.1) into the address field. Please also make sure your PC’s IP address is in the same IP range with WNAP-11 20.
