By pressing this button for over 3 seconds, the AP will be reset with factory default
configuration.
3. Power Supply connector
It is for connecting to the power adapter.
2.2 Hardware Installation
1. Configure your notebook or PC with Wireless LAN card.
2. For Wired LAN, connect your PCs’ Ethernet port to any AP’s LAN port by an Ethernet cable.
2
3. For WLAN, locate the AP to a proper position.
4. Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3 Initial Software Installation and Configuration
1. Change the TCP/IP setting of your managing computer. Select the TCP/IP line that has been
associated to your network card. Click the Properties button.
2. Make sure the IP address of your computer and the AP are in the same subnet. The default IP
address of the Access Point is 192.168.1.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
3
3. For WLAN, open the WLAN client utility. Click Configuration tab. Type default SSID (default
SSID: wireless) in the Network Name field. Choose “Access Point” for Network Type, then
click OK button.
Note: the default channel is 6.
4
4 Configuring the Access Point through Web
Browser
The Access Point can be configured through your web browser with the Web-Based Utility.
Open your web browser and type the default IP address of the AP in the address field (default IP:
192.168.1.1) and press Enter. Make sure the IP address of AP and your computer are in the same
subnet.
After the connection is established, you will see the User Login page as shown below. Leave
the password field blank when the first time you open the Web-Based utility. You can change the
password on the “Administrator settings” page.
The system will be time out after idling about 1 minute. You have to login again to re-enter the
main setting page. You can change the idle time out period on the “Administrator settings” page.
On any page, you can click HELP to obtain more descriptions and explanations. To clear any
values you’ve entered on any page, click CANCEL and re-enter information.
There are three tabs on the upper right-corner of each page. To go back to the main setting
page, press HOME tab. To log out of the web management, press EXIT tab. To complete any
change you have made, press RESET tab after clicking APPLY button.

4.1 System Setting
The system setting contains all basic configuration of the Access Point. It includes System
Time, Administrator Setting, Firmware Upgrade, Configuration Tools, Status, and Reset.
6
4.1.1 System Time
Connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server allows the AP to synchronize
the system clock to the global internet. The synchronizes clock in the AP is used to control client
filtering. The polling time is the time period that the AP sends requests for the correct time. Note
that the polling time can not be less than 3600 sec. Click APPLY to complete your change.
4.1.2 Administrator Setting
Set a password to restrict management access to the Access Point. If you want to manage the
Access Point from a remote location (outside of the local network), you must also specify the IP
7
address of the remote PC.
Password Settings:
To change your password, enter your current password in the “Current Password” box. Enter
new password in the “Password” box. Enter it again in the “Re-type password” box to confirm it.
Click APPLY to complete your change.
The “idle Time Out” is the amount of time of inactivity before the Access Point will
automatically close the Administrator session. Set this to zero to disable it.
Remote Management:
By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However, you
can also manage the Access Point from a remote host. Just check the Enable check box and enter
the IP address of an administrator to this screen.
4.1.3 Firmware Upgrade
The firmware information is displayed on this page. You can find firmware version and
firmware date here. There are two ways to upgrade the firmware: “Using TFTP” and “Using WEB”.
Click APPLY to choose the one you want.
z Using TFTP
On the managed computer, run the TFTP Server utility. And specify the folder in which the
firmware file resides. After running the TFTP server, enter the TFTP server IP and the filename on
the following page. Click on APPLY to complete your change.
8
z Using WEB
Type the correct firmware file path and file name on the File field. You can click Browse to
select the file location. Click on APPLY to complete your change.
4.1.4 Configuration Tools

4.1.5 Status
11
The Status window displays current information and settings for your AP. It has four main
parts - LAN, Wireless, System Information, and Others.
For LAN, it displays AP’s IP address, MAC address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. It also
displays the IP address of the DNS and the number of clients connected by DHCP server.
For Wireless, it displays SSID, Channel, WEP security status, and Authentication type.
For System Information, it displays system time, firmware version, firmware date, hardware
version, and serial number.
For Others, it displays the power level of the AP.
You can obtain the most up-to-date information by pressing the “Refresh” button.
4.1.6 Reset
In the event that the Access Point stops responding correctly or in some way stops functioning,
you can perform a reset. Your settings will not be changed. To perform the reset, click on the Reset
button below. You will be asked to confirm your decision. The reset completes when the power
light stops blinking.
12
4.2 LAN Setting
The Access Point must have an IP address for the local network. You can enable DHCP service
for dynamic IP address allocation to your clients, or configure filtering functions based on specific
clients or protocols.
4.2.1 LAN Settings
You can change the basic settings of AP here, including IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, IP
Pool Address, Lease Time, and Local Domain Name. Click APPLY to complete your change.
13
(1) IP Address: The IP address of the AP. You should have a unique IP address to your
network. The default value is 192.168.1.1.
(2) Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask of your Access Point. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
(3) Gateway: It indicated the Network’s Gateway. It’s optional.
(4) The Gateway acts as the DHCP Server: By default, the AP can function as a DHCP server.
The AP can automatically assign an IP address to a client. To disable this function, clear
the “Enable” check box.
(5) IP Pool Starting Address & IP Pool Ending Address: The first and the last address in the
IP address pool.
(6) Lease Time: The period client can have the IP address assigned by DHCP server.
(7) Local Domain Name: It’s optional.
4.2.2 DHCP Client Lists
This page lists clients that are connected to the Access Point via IP address, host name, and
MAC address. You can click Refresh button to obtain most up-to-date information.
Note: The DHCP server only serves wireless clients. So LAN users cannot get IP address through
DHCP server.
14
4.2.3 DNS Settings
Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name. Your ISP
should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers.
The Access Point can be a
DNS relay to send clients’ request to the Domain Name Server. You can do a DNS lookup to find
the IP address of some specific servers. Click APPLY to complete your change.
4.3 Filtering Setting
The Access Point provides filtering function via MAC address or IP address for wireless
interface.
4.3.1 MAC Filtering
The maximum number of items is 64. Check the select check box to include or exclude
corresponding items. The clients whose MAC addresses listed in the “MAC address table” cannot
get associations to the AP while the “Filtering type” is chosen to “Include”. On the other hand, only
those clients’ with MAC addresses listed in the “Exclude” filtering list can associate to the AP. The
MAC address filtering function can be disabled by choosing the “Filtering type” to “Disable”. Click
APPLY to complete your change.
