1.4 Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance and operating coverage of 11N AP.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate the 11N AP 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 the 11 N A P in an open space or add additional Access Point 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 11N AP in a specific location without testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The 11N AP is designed base on 2T2R 11n MIMO technology. The two antennas (circled) are designed for TX/RX (Transmitting / Receiving) at the same time.
8
Figure: Rear Panel of 11N AP (example on WNAP-1120PE)
The bundle antennas of 11 N A P 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, with RP-SMA connector, the original antennas of the 11N A P c an be replaced with other external antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used on 11N AP.
4. WLAN Type
If your 11N AP 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 your 11N A P can operate in 11n-only mode, then its data rate shall increased up to 300Mbps.

1.5 Reset/WPS Button

Figure: Rear Panel of 11N AP (example on WNAP-1120PE)
The 11N AP provides a Reset button on the rear panel for user to restart or set 11N AP configuration to factory default.

RST / WPS Button
0
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 11N AP 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 that you have enough informatio n about the 11N AP.
1. Locate an optimum location for the 11N AP. T he best place for your 11N A P is usually at the
center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Assemble the antenna to the 11N AP. Try to place them to a position that can best cover your
wireless network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
3. Connect RJ-45 cable to 11N AP. Connect this 11N AP to your LAN switch/hub or a single PC.
Note:
4. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, the 11 N AP will start to
The WNAP-1120PE also with IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet PD (Powered Device) compliant, you can connect WNAP-1120 to an IEEE802.3af compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment). The IEEE802.3af complied PSE shall provide the power for the WNAP-1120 after connected.
work.
Note:
1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the 11N A P. Otherwise, the product may b e damaged.
2. ONLY use one power sources for your WNAP-1120PE. That is for WNAP-1120, either power it from 802.3af PoE or from DC power source.
3. If you want to reset your 11N AP to default settings after it is powered on, press the Reset button for 20 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 11N AP. An AP with an assigned IP address (e.g. http://192.168.1.1) will allow you to monitor and configure (via web browser e.g., MS Internet Explorer or Netscape).
1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter 11N AP I P 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 11N AP.
3. A User Name and Password dialog box will appear. Please enter your User Name and Password here. Default User Name and Password are “admin”. Click “OK” to access the management page.
