2-1. Features
SX-BR-4600WAN has the following features:
Giving unlimited locations for your non-wireless devices
As you do not have to care wiring conditions in order to establish your environment,
choices of location greatly expand in any kinds of secenes such as oce, factory, school,
commercial facility, etc. where the layout change is frequently required or effective
layout of equipment needs to be carefully considered for a work line. Also, cost
reductions is largely expected as you will no longer have to pay for wiring construction.
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
SX-BR-4600WAN supports communications at both 2.4GHz/5GHz bands. Using 5GHz
band will help to avoid radio interference with 2.4GHz band which is most commonly
used in the market.
Gigabit Ethernet
For connecting a non-wireless device, a LAN port (10/100/1000BASE-T auto-sensing) is
installed.
Two types of operating mode
[Single Client Mode]
- Bridges a single non-wireless device connected to a LAN port of the SX-BR-4600WAN
over wireless network.
- For the MAC address to use for wireless LAN connection, the MAC address of the
device connected to a LAN port of the SX-BR-4600WAN will be used (MAC address
transparent feature).
- Stops bridging when someone changed the device being connected to a wired LAN
port of the SX-BR-4600WAN to the other one (security feature).
[Multi-Client Mode]
- Up to 16 non-wireless devices can be bridged over wireless network if a HUB is
connected to a LAN port of the SX-BR-4600WAN.
- For the MAC address to use for wireless LAN connection, the MAC address of the SXBR-4600WAN will be used.

SSIDThe SSID is an ID that distinguishes a wireless LAN network from others.
For wireless devices to communicate with each other on a wireless network, they must share the same
SSID. (The SSID is also referred to as "ESSID".) Depending on your Access Point, it may have several
SSIDs. If there are dierent SSIDs for a game console and computer, use the one for the computer.
Encryption
Mode
No Encryption Uses no encryption for wireless communication.
(In this case, you do not have to get any of your settings beforehand.)
WEP If WEP encryption is used, wireless communication will be encrypted using the
settings for "WEP Key 1-4" and "Key Index".
Set the same "WEP Key Size(64bit/128bit)", "WEP Key" and "Key Index" as the
wireless device you wish to connect.
WPA / WPA2 Uses PSK for network authentication.
The encryption key will be generated by communicating with the Access Point
using a Pre-Shared key. WEP key setting is not used for this mode. Set the same "Pre-
Shared key" and "Encryption Mode"(AES/AUTO) as the wireless device you wish to
connect. The Pre-Shared key is also referred to as "Network Key" or "Password".

A-2. Troubleshooting
This section provides the solutions for possible troubles you may experience when you are
conguring or using the SX-BR-4600WAN.
My Access Point is not displayed in the Wireless Network List of the Web conguration interface.
The Access Point may not be active.
Solution
The Access Point may be operating in a stealth mode.
Solution
Please check that the Access Point is operating correctly.
Congure the detailed settings of the wireless network at Detailed Conguration
of the Web conguration interface to connect to the Access Point. Remember that
Access Points operating in a stealth mode will not be displayed in the list.
Too many wireless devices may be operating, exceeding the maximum number of
devices the SX-BR-4600WAN can show on (up to 32 devices).
Solution
Up to 32 wireless devices can be displayed at Wireless Network List.
To show your Access Point in the list, use SSID Filter so that only the specied
networks are displayed there.
Even when the Access Point is not displayed in the list, it can be connected
by conguring the wireless settings at Detailed Conguration of the Web
conguration interface.
I failed to connect to a wireless network using WPS.
The WPS feature may be disabled on the Access Point.
Solution
Check that the Access Point supports the WPS feature.
Depending on the Access Point, you may need to manually enable the WPS
feature. For details, see the operating manual that came with your Access Point.
The SSID Filter may be enabled on the SX-BR-4600WAN.
Solution
Disable the SSID Filter at Detailed Conguration of the Web conguration
interface. If the SSID Filter is enabled, conguration using WPS does not work.

A LAN port error has occurred (POWER LED: Blinks rapidly, WLAN LED: OFF, STATUS LED: ON).
The bridge feature may be aborted as the non-wireless device is unplugged and
changed to the other device on the LAN port.
Solution
Restart the SX-BR-4600WAN.
In Single Client Mode, if the non-wireless device is unplugged and changed to
the other device, SX-BR-4600WAN will abort bridging of that device, taking such
occurrence as an error.
Also, when the MAC address ltering is used to restrict the devices to bridge, you
will need to change the setting registered to Network Device Address.
This error does not occur in Multi-Client Mode. The restart is not required then.
Several devices may have been connected to the SX-BR-4600WAN using a HUB, though
it is operating in Single Client Mode.
Solution
In Single Client Mode, connect only one device to the LAN port of SX-BR4600WAN. To use several devices, use Multi-Client Mode.
I cannot access the non-wireless device connected to a LAN port of the SX-BR-4600WAN.
The SX-BR-4600WAN or non-wireless device may not be operating correctly.
Solution
Please check the LED status on SX-BR-4600WAN. Please also check that the nonwireless device is properly powered on.
The connection may be restricted by the MAC address ltering on SX-BR-4600WAN.
Solution
The connection to the non-wireless device is lost.
See the setting at Network Device Address to check that access of the
connected device is not restricted by the MAC address ltering.
The connection may be timed out.
Solution
If the connected non-wireless device is idle and no communication occurs from
it for 5 mins, SX-BR-4600WAN automatically cuts a link with it. To recover the
communication, try to do anything that can cause communication packets
on the non-wireless device. For the connection not to be timed out again, it is
recommended to disable the sleep mode on the non-wireless device.
(Example) If the connected non-wireless device is a printer and the printer has
turned into a sleep mode, printing will become unavailable as SX-BR-4600WAN
will disconnect a link with the printer.
To get printing ready again, wake up the printer from a sleep mode using the
control panel on it to make a communication from the printer to SX-BR-4600WAN.

The imported IEEE802.1X certicate cannot be deleted.
It is impossible to delete the imported certicate only.
Solution
The Wi-Fi Direct connection fails.
To delete the imported certicate, initialize the SX-BR-4600WAN.
NOTE:
The imported certicate is validated only when it is used.
Even if you keep the certicate, it has no impact on the authentication process
since the imported certicate is used only with the compatible authentication
method.
You may have reached the maximum number of devices that can be connected using Wi-Fi Direct.
Solution
Up to 4 devices can be connected to SX-BR-4600WAN using Wi-Fi Direct.
When nished using the non-wireless device over the Wi-Fi Direct connection,
please cut o that connection. Check if the Wi-Fi Direct connection is available
to SX-BR-4600WAN using any applications that you can see the Wi-Fi Direct
connection status with.
The Wi-Fi Direct connection is lost.
The Wi-Fi Direct connection may have been cut o as a result that the other device has
connected to SX-BR-4600WAN using Wi-Fi Direct.
Solution
Try reconnecting to SX-BR-4600WAN using Wi-Fi Direct.
In a certain environment, the Wi-Fi Direct connection could be cut o when other
device is trying to connect to SX-BR-4600WAN using Wi-Fi Direct.
