Product Introduction
WA3001 is a switch-like WLAN Access Point that offers industry-leading performance/price ratio and a comprehensive feature set. It is designed especially for a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) that provides Wireless Internet services - including hotspot and corporate deployment planning. WA3001 supports IEEE802.11b and 802.11g, SNMP centralized network management, authentication and billing systems. It provides a variety of security mechanisms to ensure safer data transmission within the public network.
WA3001 is the premier choice for WISP Hotspot Network Solutions because of its user-friendly design, high-speed data transmission rate of up to 54Mbps, additional long distance network coverage and high sensitivity. WA3001 is typically applied in public areas such as airports, hotels, exhibitions, bars and news centers.
WA3001 also supports NT authentication to provide a cost­effective and efficient wireless connection for corporations. Using its 4 LAN ports switch like functionality ensures customers always enjoy an easy network buildup.
Presently, the new WLAN technology is focused on throughput rates and network coverage improvement, along with the

System Application
WA3001 is built with both regular AP (miniPCI network card) and Repeater (CardBus adapters) functions. As a Repeater, from network coverage point of view, the AP can be configured in point-to-point (P2P) mode or point-to-multiple points (P2MP) mode (one AP connects with up to four APs). As a regular adapter, the AP can be configured as a single-cell network, a multi-cell network, or an extension of wired network.
Wireless Network Access (MiniPCI Network Card)
Single-cell Wireless Network
A single AP used without the wired network providing a single­cell wireless network for peer-to-peer stations.
E.g. In SOHO mode, the AP provides a quick and efficient solutions to printers, PCs and Server.

Figure 1 Single-cell Wireless Network Topology
Multiple APs in Separate Networks
Multiple APs can coexist as separate networks in the same site without interference by using different ESS_IDs.
E.g. In an exhibition, where each company’s network is independent
Figure 2 Multi-APs with different ESS_IDs in Separate Networks Topology
Page 36
Chapter 2 System Application 7
Multiple APs within a Network
Multiple APs wired together provide a network with a better coverage area and performance - by using the same ESS_ID.
E.g. Within a company, each department accesses a public file server through its own AP.
Figure 3 Multi-APs within a Network Topology
Extension of Wired Network
AP can connect to the wired network through WAN ports, or connect to wireless clients through wireless ports.
E.g.: In a company, using APs to quickly setup a network for a newly added department is an efficient way to extend the existing wired network.

Repeater Mode (CardBus Adapter)
Point-to-Point Mode
Point-to-Point mode is used to connect two networks in WLAN application.
E.g.: In a campus, using WA3001’s point-to-point mode to connect two buildings in a separate wired network. In this mode, AP must to be configured with a cardBus adapter to function as a repeater.

Description:
Available Functionality:
- Global user configuration parameters (LAN interface and Wireless connected clients), e.g. enable or disable 802.1x authentication, authentication mode, encryption mode, max online user number
- Global 802.1x authentication, Server-AP-Client authentication parameters configuration
- Specify authenticated users, initialize authenticated users and re-authenticated users
User Management
Objective:
After 802.1x authentication is enabled, AP is able to manage both dynamic and static users. Dynamic users require authentication whereas Static users do not require authentication.
Dynamic Users
Access Method:
Click the “Advanced Config/Subscriber” link on the left panel, then choose “Dynamic user”
Configuration Interface:

Figure 29 Dynamic User Configuration Interface
Configuration Description:
Detailed Instructions:
• Add a new dynamic user Enter User name and Password, and then click <Add>. A
new entry will be added in the table as shown below. User ID is automatically generated by the system.
• Enable, disable or delete dynamic users Select the option from the Status drop-down box to
manage dynamic users
Page 92
Chapter 5 Web-based Configuration 63
Enable: enables a specific dynamic user and allows
the user to access
Disable: disables a specific dynamic user and
prohibits the user access
Delete: deletes a specific dynamic user and removes
the user information from the database
Static Users
Access Method:
Click the “Advanced Config/Subscriber” link on the left panel, choose “Static user”
Configuration Interface:

Configuration Description:
Detailed Instructions:
• Add a new static user
Enter static user’s PC MAC address, and then click <Add>. A new user entry will be added in the table as shown below. User ID is automatically generated. User name is identical to MAC address
• Enable or disable static users
Select the option from the Status drop-down box to manage static users
Enable: enables a specific static user and allows the
user to access
Page 94
Chapter 5 Web-based Configuration 65
Disable: disables a specific static user and prohibits
the user access
Delete: deletes a specific static user and removes the
user information from the database
