Chapter 1 Introduction

Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium business. They can either work independently as standalone APs or be centrally managed by the EAP Controller software, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily-configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.

Figure 2-1 Typical Topology

To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running the EAP Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs.

The EAP can be managed by the EAP Controller software, which is a management software specially designed for the TP-LINK EAP devices on a local wireless network, allowing you to centrally configure and monitor mass EAP devices using a web browser on your PC. For more information about the EAP Controller, please find the EAP Controller User Guide from our official website:

http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/

Chapter 3 Management Mode

Auranet series products can either work under the control of the EAP Controller software or work independently as a standalone access point.

When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single AP in the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you can centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.

The Standalone mode applies to a relatively small-sized wireless network. EAPs in the Standalone mode cannot be managed centrally by the EAP Controller software.

3.1Standalone Mode

By default, the EAP works independently as a standalone access point. By entering the IP address of the standalone EAP, you can log in to its web interface and perform configurations.

The factory default IP address configuration of the EAP is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Before you access the web interface of the EAP, please make sure the DHCP server works properly. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server.

Follow the steps below to log in to the web interface of a standalone EAP.

1.Launch a web browser, enter the DHCP address in the address field and press the

Enter key.

2.Enter admin (all lowercase) for both username and password.

3.2Managed Mode

The EAP will become a managed AP once it is adopted via the EAP Controller software. Users can manage the AP via a web browser. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide from our website at www.tp-link.com to know more about EAP Controller software.

3.3 Switch to Standalone Mode

The web interface of a specific EAP is not available once this EAP is adopted by the EAP Controller. You can Forget the EAP via the EAP Controller to turn it back as a standalone AP. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide from our website at www.tplink.com to learn more.

Chapter 4 Network

On Network page you can configure the IP address of the standalone EAP.

Figure 4-1 Network Page

Dynamic/Static: By default, the EAP device obtains an IP address from a DHCP server (typically a router). Select Static to configure IP address manually.

Fallback IP: If the EAP fails to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server within ten seconds, the fallback IP will work as the IP address of the device. After that, however, the device will keep trying to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server until it succeeds.

DHCP Fallback Enter the fallback IP/IP mask.

IP/IP MASK:

DHCP Fallback Enter the fallback gateway.

5.1.1Wireless Basic Settings

		Figure 5-3 Wireless Basic Settings
2.4GHz	Check the box to enable 2.4GHz Wireless Radio.
Wireless Radio:
Wireless Mode:	Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.
	We recommend that select 802.11b/g/n, in which way clients supporting
	any one of these modes can access your wireless network.
Channel Width:	Select the channel width of this device.
	According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can
	increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower
	bandwidth due to the following reasons:
	1.	To increase the available number of channels within the limited total
		bandwidth.
	2.	To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
		devices in the environment.
	3. Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power,
		increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.
Channel:	Select the channel used by this device to improve wireless
	performance. 1/2412MHz means the Channel is 1 and the frequency is
	2412MHz. By default, channel is automatically selected.
Tx power:	Enter the transmit power value. By default, the value is 20.
	If the maximum transmit power is set to be larger than local regulation
	allows, the maximum Tx power regulated will be applied in actual
	situation.

NOTE: In most cases, it is unnecessary to select maximum transmit power. Selecting larger transmit power than needed may cause interference to neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will

reduce longevity of the device. Select a certain transmit power is enough to achieve the best performance.

5.1.2SSIDs

SSIDs can work together with switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP can build up to eight virtual wireless networks per radio for users to access. At the same time, it adds different VLAN tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network. It supports maximum 8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly communicate with each other.

Clients connected to the device via cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client can communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings.

Click in the Modify column, the following content will be shown.

	Figure 5-4 SSIDs
	Click to add up to 8 wireless networks per radio.
SSID Name:	Enter up to 32 characters as the SSID name.
Wireless	Set a VLAN ID for the wireless network.
VLAN ID:	Wireless networks with the same VLAN ID are grouped to a VLAN.
SSID	Enable this function, AP will broadcast its SSID to hosts in the surrounding
Broadcast:	environment, as thus hosts can find the wireless network identified by this
	SSID. If SSID Broadcast is not enabled, hosts must enter the AP’s SSID
	manually to connect to this AP.

Security	Select the security mode of the wireless network. For the security of
Mode:	wireless network, you are suggested to encrypt your wireless network. This
	device provides three security modes: WPA-Enterprise, WPA-PSK (WPA
	Pre-Shared Key) and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WPA-PSK is
	recommended. Settings vary in different security modes as the details are
	in the following introduction. Select None and the hosts can access the
	wireless network without password.
Portal:	Portal provides authentication service for the clients who want to access
	the wireless local area network. For more information, refer to 5.2 Portal.
	After Portal is enabled, the configurations in 5.2 Portal will be applied.
SSID	After enabling SSID Isolation, the devices connected in the same SSID
Isolation:	cannot communicate with each other.
Modify:	Click	to open the page to edit the parameters of SSID.
	Click	to delete the SSID.

Following is the detailed introduction of security mode: WEP, WPA-Enterprise and

WPA-PSK.

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, is less safe than WPA-Enterprise or WPA-PSK.

NOTE:

WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode, the device may work at a low transmission rate.

Figure 5-5 Security Mode-WEP

Type: Select the authentication type for WEP.

Auto: The default setting is Auto, which can select Open System or Shared Key automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.

Open System: After you select Open System, clients can pass the authentication and associate with the wireless network without password. However, correct password is necessary for data transmission.

Shared Key: After you select Shared Key, clients has to input password to pass the authentication, or it cannot associate with the wireless network or transmit data.

Key Selected: You can configure four keys in advance and select one as the present valid key.

Wep Key

Format:

Key Type:

Key Value:

Select the wep key format ASCII or Hexadecimal.

ASCII: ASCII format stands for any combination of keyboard characters in the specified length.

Hexadecimal: Hexadecimal format stands for any combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F) in the specified length.

Select the WEP key length for encryption.

64-bit: You can enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a- f, A-F without null key) or 5 ASCII characters.

128-bit: You can enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, A-F without null key) or 13 ASCII characters.

152-bit: You can enter 32 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, A-F without null key) or 16 ASCII characters.

Enter the key value.

WPA-Enterprise

Based on RADIUS server, WPA-Enterprise can generate different passwords for different users and it is much safer than WPA-PSK. However, it costs much to maintain and is more suitable for enterprise users. At present, WPA-Enterprise has two versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

Figure 5-6 Security Mode_WPA-Enterprise

Version: Select one of the following versions:

Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.

WPA-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA.

WPA2-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA2.

Encryption:	Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default
	setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
	or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the
	wireless station's capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP
	and TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select
	AES as the encryption type.
RADIUS Server	Enter the IP address/port of the RADIUS server.
IP/Port:
RADIUS	Enter the shared secret of RADIUS server to access the RADIUS server.

NOTE:

Encryption type TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If TKIP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network of the EAP. If TKIP is applied in 11b/g/n mode, the device may work at a low transmission rate.

WPA-PSK

Based on pre-shared key, security mode WPA-PSK is characterized by high security and simple configuration, which suits for common households and small business. WPA-PSK has two versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

Figure 5-7 Security Mode_WPA-PSK

Version:	 Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the
	wireless station's capability and request.
	 WPA-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA.
	 WPA2-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA2.
Encryption:	Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default
	setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or
	AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless
	station's capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP and TKIP
	is not supported in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select AES as
	the encryption type.
Wireless	Configure the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK password with ASCII or Hexadecimal
Password:	characters. For ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 characters
	with combination of numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common
	punctuations. For Hexadecimal, the length should be 64 characters (case-
	insensitive, 0-9, a-f, A-F).
Group Key	Specify the group key update period in seconds. The value can be either
Update Period:	0 or 30-8640000 seconds.

5.1.3Wireless Advanced Settings

Figure 5-8 Wireless Advanced Settings

Beacon Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the Interval: presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. You can

specify a value from 40 to 100. The default value is 100 milliseconds.

DTIM Period: This value indicates the number of beacon intervals between successive Delivery Traffic Indication Messages (DTIMs) and this number is included in each Beacon frame. A DTIM is contained in Beacon frames to indicate whether the access point has buffered broadcast and/or multicast data for the client devices. Following a Beacon frame containing a DTIM, the access point will release the buffered broadcast and/or multicast data, if any exists. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating the DTIM Period is the same as Beacon
