Introduction
Overview
1
Integrating the cutting edge of Internet Telephony and Access Point manufacturing experience,
LEGRAND now introduces the latest member of LEGRAND Wireless Access Point family: the N-WAP.
The N-WAP provides not only high-performance Access Point (AP) function for flexible wireless
communication.
With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network capability, the N-WAP allows any computer and
wireless enabled network client connect to it without additional cabling. The 802.11n wireless
capability gives users the highest speed of wireless experience ever. With an 802.11n compatible
wireless adapter installed in your PC, the files can be transferred at up to 300Mbps. The radio coverage
is also doubled to offer the high speed wireless connection even in a wide space of your office or
house.
To secure the wireless communication, the N-WAP supports most up-to-date encryption: WEP,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. In addition, the N-WAP supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type
for users to connect to a secured wireless network easily.
Product Features
IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standard compliant
Multi-mode: AP, Client, Router Mode
Supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK and 802.1x encryption

Multiple APs
Multiple APs/SSIDs allow the ability for separate security mode and key settings to be set by users for
both convenience and increased protection. Users are able to configure their network devices to
access the first SSID with the WPA2 PSK (Pre-Shared Key) and secret key, whilst share the second
SSID with WEP and the periodically changed key for visitors. In addition, users are able to isolate these
SSIDs to avoid malicious attacks and prevent certain access for visitors using the second SSID. This
then provides users an extremely convenient approach to share the wireless access, provide access
internet access for visitors, while possessing a strong security protection system at all times.
In Wireless Basic Settings page, click the Multiple AP button. You will then see the Multiple APs
Settings page as shown below.

Enable Multiple APs
Check the checkbox to enable the Multiple AP/SSID.
Up to 4 SSIDs for each BSS can be entered in the filed SSID. The name
can be up to 32 characters. T he same name (SSID) mus t be assigned
to all wireless devices in your network. If Enable VLAN is checked, the
wireless stations connecting to SSID of different VID can not
communicate with each other.
VLAN Settings
Entries in below table are used to config vlan settings. VLANs are created to provide the segmentation
services traditionally provided by routers. VLANs address issues such as scalability, security, and
network management.
In Wireless Basic Settings page, click the Multiple AP button. You will then see the VLAN Settings
page as shown below.
- 40 -
Enable VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a group of logically
networked devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they
can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact
they are located on different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based
on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for user/host
management.
VID
Provide a number between 1 and 4090 for VLAN. This will cause the AP
to send packets with VLAN tags. The switch connecting with the AP
must support VLAN IEEE802.1Q frames. The wireless stations
connecting to the SSID of a specified VLANID can communicate with
the PC connecting to the port with the same VLANID on the Switch.
Advanced Settings
These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficie nt knowledge about
wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will
have on your Access Point.

Fragment Threshold
RTS Threshold
Beacon Interval
Preamble Type
“Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during
the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too
low, it will result in bad performance.
Default : 2346
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point
will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Default : 2347
The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Default : 100
Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during
the wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high
traffic wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable
communication.
Default : Long Preamble

It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b
and 802.1 1g wirel ess stati ons. When the protection mode i s enabled,
the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame
traffic should be transmitted.
Default : Enable
It is a function where the values of multiple rows are grouped
together.
Default : Enable
It is used to set the time that the receiver waits for RF reflections to
settle out before sampling data.
Default : Enable
This feature also called WLAN isolation or Block Relay. If this feature
is disabled, then there is no barrier between communications among
wireless stations connecting to the Access Point, i.e the Access
Point. If this is enabled, wireless stations of the selected band are not
allowed to exchange data through the Access Point. The default
value is set to 'Disabled'.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients
and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encryption mode and input a long encryption pass
phrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a button on
wireless client and router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.
