2. FIRMWARE INSTALLATION
Requirements:

- Realtek RTL 8186 based equipment

- Minimum 16MB RAM and 2MB Flash

Notes about the Tx Power Control:

The Tx power control setting only applies to 802.11b mode.

The Router has the power limited to 250mw by HARDWARE.

THE HIGHEST POWER MAY NOT BE THE IDEAL SETTING FOR ALL APPLICATIONS. TEST
DIFFERENT SETTINGS TO FIND THE BEST ADJUSTMENT FOR YOUR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION.

2.1 FIRMWARE INSTALLATION VIA WEB INTERFACE

1. Save the firmware file (ROUTERPRO_vx_x_xmodx.bin) and the license file (.dat) in your local disk.

2. Follow your original router instructions to connect to the device using the web interface and look for

the “Upgrade Firmware” or “Update Firmware” option.

3. Browse for the " Router PRO - xxx - Vyyy.bin", and upload it (xxx and yyy indicate the customization

and version)

4. Wait for the update process to complete. It may take about one minute after the file is uploaded

5. After the update process finishes, the device IP will be reset to 192.168.2.1. You will need to set

your PC's address to an IP in the same subnet, for example, 192.168.2.10 in the Windows Control
Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP):

(take note of your original configuration so you can restore it later)

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 3 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

6. Access the router by typing the address http://192.168.2.1 in your browser. If you cannot access the

device, try cleaning the ARP table, by running the command "arp -d" with Start, Run, then try again:

7. Once in the web interface of the new firmware SQ ROUTER PRO, select to the License menu

option, and check if the MAC address matches the name of the .dat file with the license to be
uploaded.

8. Select the .dat license file and upload it. Wait for 2 minutes for the process to complete (the router

will reboot). Your device will then be ready to be configured.

2.2 FIRMWARE INSTALLATION BY TFTP

The TFTP installation method can be used if it is not possible to access the web interface, or if it is not
possible to upload the firmware through the web interface.

1. If you don't have a TFTP client program, download and install one. There are several free options

available on the web. The procedure below uses the free TFTP client available at:

http://www.weirdsolutions.com/weirdSolutions/files/products/desktopSoftware/desktopTftpClient/tftpc_free.exe

2. Configure your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.10

3. Connect the AWOS to the network using one of the 4 LAN ports

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 4 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

4. Turn the device off, hold the reset button pressed, and turn the device back on. Wait for 5 seconds

before releasing the reset button.

5. The AWOS will be in TFTP mode, with IP 192.168.1.6, awaiting for the firmware upload

6. Run the TFTP Client, with the setting: TFTP server = 192.168.1.6, Operation = Upload, and Format

= Binary.

7. Select the .bin firmware file for upload, and click "Upload":

8. After the upload finishes, wait for 1 minute for the device to reboot, and access it again from the web

interface (remember that with the SQ Router Pro firmware, the default IP address will be

192.168.2.1, so you will need to change your PC IP address to 192.168.2.10 to access it)

9. Once in the web interface, access the License menu option and upload the license .dat file.

3. SECURITY INFORMATION

Web interface password

The access to the web configuration interface has no username/password by default. Make sure you set
up a username and password to prevent unauthorized access to this interface.

root password

The ssh access is enabled by default, and the default root password is admin. If you are going to keep
the ssh access enabled, make sure to change the root password to prevent unauthorized access.

To change the root password, access the device through ssh and log in as root. Use the passwd
command to change the password, then the save command to store the change in the flash memory (if
you skip the save command, the password will revert to the previous one on the next reboot).

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

4. CONFIGURATION

The configuration is done through a friendly and dynamic web interface. The default web address is

192.168.2.1. To enter configuration enter the address 192.168.2.1 on your browser address bar and

press enter.
Configuration uses a "Save then Apply" method, so it is possible to set all the options first, then apply

them once. Remember that the settings will only be used after you apply them with the "Apply

Configurations" menu option.

4.1 Status

4.1.1 Status

Shows the device's main configuration settings

4.1.2 Active Clients

Shows information about the wireless clients connected to the device, in Client or AP Mode.

4.1.3 DHCP Clients

Shows IP, MAC, and Lease Remaining Time for the DHCP clients connected to the Access Point.

4.2 Wireless

4.2.1 Basic

Basic Access Point settings configuration. It is also possible to disable/enable the wireless
interface, and to enable the Clone MAC function.

4.2.2 Disable Wireless Interface

Turns the Wireless Interface on/off. Turning off the Wireless Interface can be useful if you just
want to use the device as a Ethernet Router, with the filtering and bandwidth control features.

4.2.3 Name

Device name for identification.

4.2.4 Frequency/Modulation

Selects the frequency and modulation standard to use. For the AWOS, the only frequency
available is 2.4GHz. You can select B, G, or B+G for 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11b+802.11g.

4.2.5 Mode

The following operational modes are available:
AP: (Access Point) The device will be the main Wireless Access Point in the wireless network,

and wireless clients will connect to it. The wireless clients may be other AWOSs in Client mode,
or computers with compatible wireless network adapters.

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 7 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

Client: The device will connect to another device in AP mode, if configured with the same SSID.
Other devices in Client mode and the Ad-Hoc option enabled can also be connected.

WDS: (Wireless Distribution System) This system allows the interconnection of multiple Access
Points through the wireless link, expanding the coverage of the wireless network without the
need of a wired connection between them. To use WDS, there should be other device(s)
operating in WDS or AP+WDS mode within the wireless reach, and the MAC of each device has
to be added to the other device's WDS list, in the Wireless - WDS menu. The WDS devices will
operate as transparent bridges.

AP+WDS: The device will operate both as an Access Point, and as a WDS node for coverage
extension.

Universal Repeater: Also a way of extending the wireless coverage, simpler than the WDS
method. The device will connect and repeat the signals from another device in AP mode. Both
devices must be set to the same channel and SSID. The device will operate as a transparent
bridge. Enabling this mode also turns on meshing ability using OLSR. With OLSR functions the
IP routing is automatically adjusted to give the most cost effective route for IP traffic. This gives
route redundancy and also ensures that traffic always takes the best route through the system.
It also means that when a client moves from one cell (one AP router) to the other then the AP’s
automatically change the route path to ensure the lowest cost.

4.2.6 Network Type

Selectable in Client Mode only; the following types are available:

Infrastructure: Device will connect to an Access Point in the network
Ad-Hoc: Device will connect to other devices in Ad-Hoc mode.

4.2.7 SSID

Service Set Identifier of the wireless network, up to 32 characters. If in Client Mode, should be
set to the SSID of the Access Point to which the device will be connected. If in AP mode, this
will be the SSID used by this Access Point.

4.2.8 SSID Universal Repeater

In the Universal Repeater mode, this defines the SSID used by clients to connect to this Access
Point.

4.2.9 Region Domain

Defines the set of available channels, according to the local regulations for each region.

4.2.10 Channel Number

Wireless channel to be used by the device. The range of available channels is dependent of the
Region Domain setting. If set to Auto, the device will automatically select the channel with less
noise to minimize interference.

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 8 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

4.3 Advanced

Advanced configuration options for the wireless operation.

4.3.1 Authentication Type

Selects the Wireless network authentication type.

4.3.2 ACK Timeout

Sets the maximum time the AP will wait for a remote wireless device to acknowledge a packet,
before retransmitting it.

4.3.3 Fragmentation Threshold

Frames larger than this setting will be divided and sent through the wireless network in smaller
fragments. If there is no interference, the ideal value is the maximum setting. For areas with
interference, try smaller sizes.

4.3.4 RTS Threshold

If a frame is larger than this setting, devices are required to exchange a RTS (Request To
Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) pair before sending it. Lower values can enhance performance if
there are many wireless clients in the network, or if clients are far from each other (so they can
see the AP, but not other clients). The default 2347 value means RTS is disabled.

4.3.5 Beacon Interval

Time between beacon transmissions.

4.3.6 Data Rate

Sets the wireless network data rate. Leaving this in Automatic will allow the AP to automatically
adjust the data rate according to the wireless link conditions.

4.3.7 DTIM Period

DTIM is the Delivery Traffic Indication Message. This setting defines the interval, in number of
beacons, for the inclusion of the DTIM in the AP beacon.

4.3.8 Preamble Type

Selects between long and short preamble. The Short Preamble allows better throughput. Long
preamble is better in noisy environments, and for compatibility with older devices, not
supporting the short type.

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 9 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2

4.3.9 Block Relay

Prevents that two wireless clients can communicate to each other directly through the access
point.

4.3.10 Hide SSID

Prevents the SSID to be sent in the AP broadcast messages, so it cannot be found by AP
scanners.

4.3.11 IAPP

Enables the Inter Access Point Protocol

4.3.12 802.11g Protection

In a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment, prevents interference between both systems.

4.3.13 Power

Adjusts the transmission power of the device. Only use higher values if necessary for the
application, according to the distance.

4.4 Security

Authentication and security setup. Sets the encryption type, and the authentication options.

4.5 Access Control

Allows the set up a list of MAC addresses for access control. The Access Control Mode can be set
to:

Disabled: No MAC address access control is enforced.
Deny Listed: The devices with MAC addresses listed in the table are denied access to the

wireless network. All other devices are allowed.
Allow Listed: The devices with MAC addresses listed in the table are allowed access to the

wireless network. All other devices are denied.

Solwise Ltd, www.solwise.co.uk, [e-mail] 10 of 27

USER’S MANUAL FOR AWOS2400050 High Power Integrated Outdoor CPE Version: 2.2
