Overview
The TEW-212APBO is a standalone wireless client, which provides IP routing functionality between a Local Area Network (LAN) and a Wide Area Network (WAN). It uses an Ethernet interface to connect to LAN, and wireless 802.11b-based interface to connect to a Wireless Networking System, which provides miscellaneous WAN access.
Wireless Networking System
TEW-212APBO is part of the Wireless Internet Service Provision System. It provides access for locally connected computers to WAN, such as the Internet. In Figure 1 shown below, the client devices are connected to the access points (please refer to TEW-212APBO specification).

Features

TEW-212APBO is based on indoor-outdo or architecture. An outdoor unit with 2.4 GHz antennas is placed on the mast or roof of construction elements. It is connected to the indoor unit via a UTP cable. An individual computer or an entire local network can gain ac cess to the Internet by simply connecting the TEW-212APBO indoor unit to the switch/hub. TEW­212APBO is a full featured IP router with extensive firewall capabilities and a user-friendly web interface.
• Wireless Access Point or Client (configurable)
• Router/Bridge (configurable) and Firewall
• Telecom features Built-in
• Web management Interface
TEW-212APBO can be managed via:
• FTP
• Telnet
• WWW
• SNMP (v1, v2)
It is possible to modify the following information through a web interface:
• General information
• Network LAN and WAN interfaces settings
• Wireless device settings
• DHCP server configuration
• IP Firewall
• Port forwarding
• Static routing

5 Operating Modes

The TEW-212APBO supports 5 different kinds of operating modes: AP­Router, AP Bridge, Station Bridge and Station Router.
AP-Router Mode
In this mode, the TEW-212APBO wireless unit plays the roles of the wireless network Access point an d a router.
Figure 2: AP-Router m ode
4
AP Mode
In this mode, TEW-212APBO acts as conventional wireless Access point. The routing function is disabled. Local Network Area is automatically set up to W irele ss.
Figure 3: AP mode
5
Bridge Mode
When operating in this mode, one TEW-212APBO device can connect with another TEW-212APBO device and form wireless “bridge” interconnecting two or more local networks. Note that all these devices must work in the same frequency channel and must have the same SSID string. Please also note that wireless “bridge” DOES NOT retransmits packets.
Figure 4: Bridge mode
6
Note: The following operational modes need to be configured, refer to
upgrade page for more information.
Station – Router mode
In this mode, TEW-212APBO wireless interface works as wireless
network client (c o nne cts to th e Acces s point). Router part is active.
It must be defined which interface will be dedicated to the Local Area Network LAN, and which to the External Network. Routing is done by forwarding packets to the default gateway, which is set up to External Network, so it is mandatory to define Local Network Area interface.

Client-Bridge mode
In this mode, TEW-212APBO acts as wireless card (associates to the
access point)

Starting Up

To setup TEW-212APBO for the first time can be performed through a web browser on a computer connected to the local network. The administrator can use one of standard browsers available (e.g., Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0 or later). Once the setup process is completed, TEW­212APBO can be managed from any computer on the network that has a web browser.
The steps to setup TEW-212APBO using a web browser are listed below:
1. Launch a standard web browser on a computer connected to the
network.
2. Enter the TEW-212APBO IP address given to you from the ISP
into the URL field of your web browser (the default setting is
192.168.2.2). TEW-212APBO provides SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) feature, so use https://192.168.2.2
to connect.

If local network settings were configured correctly, then a login screen should appear:
Input the username (the default username is “root”) and correct password (the default password is “pass”) and click the “OK” button to pass the security control screen. Once the correct username and password combination is entered, a TEW-212APBO welcome screen should appear as below:

Device Status page

Device status page displays all information includes system, interface and network status.
Figure 6: Device Status table
12
The Device Status page is divided into to four parts: System Status table - This table shows TEW-212APBO software versio n,
system uptime (after last reboot), average load, memory usage and radio signal strengt h (RSSI).
System service and interfac es sta tus is sh o wn in “ Service/Interface Status” table - This table shows wireless interface and system services
state. Possible values in this table can be Enabled/Disabled for appropriate interface/service state.
Network status is shown in the “Network Status” table - This table shows operating mode of the device, which can be “Router” for AP­Router mode, “AP” – for access point mode and “Bridge” for bridge mode.
Network statistics are shown in se parate table - This table contains statistics for both interfaces of the TE W-212APBO – wired and wireless. The wired interface is called LAN, and the wireless interface is called WLAN. Each column corresponds to the statistics value of the interfaces:
TxData – amount of data transferred TxErrors – amount of transmit errors RxData – amount of data received RxErrors – amount of receive errors Collisions – amount of network coll isions

Setup Wizard

Operation Mode Settings Page

The first page of the TEW-212APBO configuration wizard is dedicated to the device operating mode selection:
Figure 7: Device Mo de Settings page
This enables a user to select the operating mode of the device.
Click on the “Reset” button to reset the page fields to their default values. Select one of the three device modes and click on the “Next” button to continue the configuration wizard (For a detailed explanation of the wizard settings, please refer to the TEW-212APBO Q uick Installation Guide).

General Configuration Settings Page

Various general device parameters can be set in this page. All of those parameters are optional.
Figure 8: General Configuration Settings page
15
These parameters include:
Hostname – a general network parameter returned in statistics routines DNS Server address – this Domain Name Server address is assigned
to the PCs requesting DNS address through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). System Identification – free form system identification code for easier device identification by the service staff. Serial Number – A unique serial number of the TEW-212APBO device.
Address – The location of the device. Coordinates – GPS coordinates. Service staff fills this field when
deploying de vic e. Customer Name – customer name, which is used for easy identification of TEW-212APBO
Click on the “Back” button to go to the previous page, Operating Mode Settings. Click on the “Reset” button to reset all page fields to their previous values and cli c k on the “Next” button to continue the configuration wizard.
