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.
“Celling lamp” appearance and easily mounting design with chassis make the EAP easy
to be installed on a wall or ceiling and blend in with most interior decorations.
With two built-in omnidirectional antennas, EAP115-Wall operates at 2.4GHz, and apply
802.11 standards and 2*2MIMO technology, allowing packet transmission at up to
300Mbps.
EAP115-Wall can only be powered via a PSE* device.
*PSE: Power Sourcing Equipment, a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide
power in a PoE setup

Chapter 2 Network Topology

A typical network topology for EAP115-Wall is shown below.
Figure 2-1 Typical Topology
2
To deploy the 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/

TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapters for information on using the EAP in standalone mode.

Chapter 3 Management Mode

300Mbps Wireless N Wall-Plate Access Point EAP115-Wall 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
EAP in the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you
can centrally manage the mass EAPs 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.

3.1 Standalone 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.

3.2 Managed Mode

The EAP will become a managed EAP once it is adopted via the EAP Controller software.
Users can manage the EAP 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

According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a channel width of 40MHz 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 concentr

5.1.2 SSIDs

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.

DTIM Period: This value indicates the number of beacon intervals between successive
RTS Threshold:
Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the 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.
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 Interval. An excessive DTIM period may reduce the performance of multicast applications. It is recommended to keep it by default.
When the RTS threshold is activated, all the stations and APs follow the Request to Send (RTS) protocol. When the station is to send packets, it will send a RTS to AP to inform the AP that it will send data. After receiving the RTS, the AP notices other stations in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data. At the same time, the AP inform the requesting station to send data. The value range is from 1 to 2347 bytes. The default value is 2347, which means that RTS is disabled.
Fragmentation Threshold:
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor
recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.

5.2 Portal

Portal authentication enhances the network security by providing authentication service
to the clients that just need temporary access to the wireless network. Such clients have
to log into a web page to establish verification, after which they will access the network
as guests. What's more, you can customize the authentication login page and specify a
URL which the newly authenticated clients will be redirected to. Please refer to

Queue displays the transmission queue. By default, the priority from high to low is Data 0, Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3. The priority may be changed if you reset the EDCA parameters.
Data 0 (Voice)—Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time­sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1 (Video)—High priority queue, minimum delay. Time­sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort)—Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background)—Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time­sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example).

7.6 SSH

This device supports the SSH Server function that allows users to login and manage it
through SSH connection on the SSH client software.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol established on application and transport layers.
SSH-encrypted-connection is similar to a telnet connection, but essentially the old
telnet remote management method is not safe, because the password and data
transmitted with plain-text can be easily intercepted. SSH can provide information
security and powerful authentication when you login this device remotely through an
insecure network environment. It can encrypt all the transmission data and prevent the
information in remote management from being leaked.

7.7 Management VLAN

Management VLAN provides a safer way for you to manage the EAP. With Management
VLAN enabled, only the hosts in the management VLAN can manage the EAP. Since most
hosts cannot process VLAN TAGs, connect the management host to the network via a
switch, and set up correct VLAN settings for the switches on the network to ensure the
communication between the host and the EAP in the management VLAN.
Following is the page of
Figure 7-11 Management VLAN
.

7.8 SNMP

The device can be configured as an SNMP agent.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the most widely applied network
management protocol, provides a management framework to monitor and maintain
Internet devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance,
detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on. When
networks function properly, SNMP can perform the functions of statistics, configuration
and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles.
An SNMP consists of three key components: manager, agent and MIB (Management
Information Base). SNMP manager is a client program operating at workstation, assisting
network administrators to accomplish most network device management tasks. An
agent is a network-management software module that resides on a managed device and
responsible for receiving and dealing with data sent by managing device. Generally the
managed devices are network devices including hosts, bridges, switches and routers.
MIB is the collection of managed devices. It defines a series of properties of the
managed devices. Every SNMP agent has its own MIB.
Once the device has become an SNMP agent, it is able to receive and process request
messages from SNMP manager.

management systems that can serve as Get Community to read the SNMP information of this device. The format of subnet is “IP address/bit” (such as 10.10.10.0/24). The default is 0.0.0.0, which means all hosts can read the SNMP information of this device.

Defining community can allow management systems in the same community to communicate with the SNMP Agent. The community name can be seen as the shared password of the network hosts group. Thus, for the security, we suggest modifying the default community name before enabling the SNMP Agent service. If the field of
