This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access Point links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. With the Wireless Access Point, you can select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands, which provides the flexibility to manage a graceful transition from networks. The Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the same network, and can communicate with each other without regard for whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection.
Figure 1: Wireless Access Point
Features of your Wireless Access Point
The Wireless Access Point incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Standards Compliant. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE802.11g and
IEEE802.11n draft 2.0 specifications for Wireless LANs.
Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. The Wireless Access Point supports both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz (802.11a) bands.
DHCP Client Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Access Point can act as a DHCP Client, and obtain an IP address and related information from your existing DHPC Server.

Wireless Access Point User Guide
Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded
easily, using only your Web Browser.
PoE Support. You can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide power to the Wireless
Access Point, so only a single cable connection is required.
Security Features
Virtual APs. For maximum flexibility, wireless security settings are stored in Virtual AP.
Up to 16 Virtual APs can be defined and used as any time.
Multiple BSSIDs. Because each Virtual AP has it own SSID and beacon, and up to 16
Virtual APs can be active simultaneously, multiple SSIDs are supported. Different clients can connect to the Wireless Access Point using different SSIDs, with different security settings.
Virtual APs Isolation. If desired, PCs and devices connecting to different Virtual APs
can be isolated from each other.
VLAN Support. The 802.1Q VLAN standard is supported, allowing traffic from differ-
ent sources to be segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID feature, this provides a powerful tool to control access to your LAN.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. The 64 Bit,
128 Bit and 152 Bit keys are supported.
WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible. Both TKIP and AES encryption methods are supported.
802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
Radius Client Support. The Wireless Access Point can login to your existing Radius
Server (as a Radius client).
Radius MAC Authentication. You can centralize the checking of Wireless Station
MAC addresses by using a Radius Server.
Rogue AP Detection. The Wireless Access Point can detect unauthorized (Rouge)
Access Points on your LAN.
Access Control. The Access Control feature can check the MAC address of Wireless
clients to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can use the W ireless Access Po int to gain access to your LAN.
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Advanced Features
Command Line Interface. If desired, the command line interface (CLI) can be used for
configuration. This provides the possibility of creating scripts to perform common config­uration changes.
Auto Configuration. The Wireless Access Point can perform self-configuration by
copying the configuration data from another Access Point. This feature is enabled by de­fault.
Auto Update. The Wireless Access Point can automatically update its firmware, by
downloading and installing new firmware from your FTP server.
Radius Accounting Support. If you have a Radius Server, you can use it to provide
accounting data on Wireless clients.
Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless Access Point can send its log
data to your Syslog Server.

This Chapter provides details of the Setup process for Basic Operation of your Wireless Access Point.
Overview
This chapter describes the setup procedure to make the Wireless Access Point a valid device on your LAN, and to function as an Access Point for your Wireless Stations.
Wireless Stations may also require configuration. For details, see Chapter 4 - PC and Server Configuration.
The Wireless Access Point can be configured using your Web Browser.
Setup using a Web Browser
Your Browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
Chrome Firefox Internet Explorer 7 or later
Setup Procedure
Before commencing, install the Wireless Access Point in your LAN, as described previously.
1. Check the Wireless Access Point to determine its Host Name. This is shown on a label on
the base or rear, and is in the following format: APxxxxxx Where xxxxxx is the last 6 Hex characters (0 ~ 9, and A ~ F) of the MAC address.
2. Use a PC which is already connected to your LAN, either by a wired connection or anoth-
er Access Point.
Until the Wireless Access Point is configured, establishing a Wireless connection to it
may be not possible.
If your LAN contains a Router or Routers, ensure the PC used for configuration is on
the same LAN segment as the Wireless Access Point.
3. Start your Web browser.
4. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the 11N Wireless Access Point,
as in this example, which uses the Wireless Access Point's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.228
5. You should then see a login prompt, which will ask for a User Name and Password.
Enter admin for the User Name, and password for the Password.
These are the default values. The password can and should be changed. Always enter the
9
Wireless Access Point User Guide
current user name and password, as set on the Administration-Management-Account
screen.
Figure 7: Password Dialog
6. You will then see the Status screen, which displays the current settings and status. No data
input is possible on this screen. See Chapter 5 for details of the Status screen.
7. From the menu, check the following screens, and configure as necessary for your
environment. Details of these screens and settings are described in the following sections
of this chapter.
8. Use the Apply and Logout buttons on the menu to apply your changes and exit the
Wireless Access Point.
Setup is now complete. Wireless stations must now be set to match the Wireless Access Point. See Chapter 4 for
details.
If you can't connect:
It is likely that your PC’s IP address is incompatible with the Wireless Access Point’s IP address. This can happen if your LAN does not have a DHCP Server. The default IP address of the Wireless Access Point is 192.168.0.228, with a Network Mask of 255.255.255.0.
If your PC’s IP address is not compatible with this, you must change your PC’s IP address to an unused value in the range 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.0.254, with a Network Mask of 255.255.255.0. See Appendix C - Windows TCP/IP for details for this procedure.

Security Settings
Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method. The available options are:
None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network. WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption
system is not very strong.
WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than
WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes fre­quently.
WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater securi-
ty, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows
clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).
WPA with Radius - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when
required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are au tomatically
generated, so no key input is required.
WPA2 with Radius - This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication
data when required.
25
Wireless Access Point User Guide
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
WPA and WPA2 with Radius - EITHER WPA or WPA2 require a Radius Server on
your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication
data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard. Keys are
automatically generated, so no key input is required.
802.1x - This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data
encryption. If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select
the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
