OSPREY (WR24G30) USER GUIDE

Initial setup and configuration.

One of the ways to configure wireless device running OSPREY is via WWW interface. After successful
installation the device uses following default settings:
IP Address: 192.168.1.251
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Login: admin
Password: public
The initial login screen looks as follows:

Please enter username and password, then press submit to log into the device.
Please note that after changing device parameters and pressing submit button, new settings will only be
saved when you press "Apply Changes" button at the right bottom of the configuration page. You also need
to reboot the device for the device to start with new settings.

OSPREY (WR24G30) USER GUIDE

Device Information:
Device Type – Device type you are logged into.

MAC Address – Device MAC address.
Firmware Version – Current firmware version.
Hardware Revision – Device Hardware version.
Regulatory Domain – Currently configured regulatory domain.
System Time - Time synchronized by NTP (Network Time Protocol).
Connection Information: Status:

Connected – device is currently connected to an Access Point (802.11a Mode) or Polling Base Station
(Polling Mode).
Not Connected – the connection has not yet been established.

BSSID – MAC address of the Access Point or Base Station the device is currently connected to.
Signal Strength – Access Point signal strength.
Remote Signal Strength - Device signal strength.
Noise Level – Level of the Noise the device is sensing on the channel.
Operational Rate – Bit data rate at which device sends packets to the Access Point.
Remote Data Rate - Bit data rate at which Access Point sends packets to the device.
Transmit Power - EIRP Transmit Power at which the device is sending data over wireless link.
TX Packets – Number of data packets that have been sent to the Access Point.
TX Bytes – Number of bytes sent to the Access Point.
RX Packets – Number of data packets that have been received from the Access Point.
RX Bytes – Number of bytes received from the Access Point.
Ethernet Speed - Current Ethernet port connection speed (or No Connection if there is no connection).
Operational Settings:
Device Name - System Name for easy identification of the device.
WLAN Interface - Enabled or disabled, if enabled traffic goes through the intetface.
WLAN Operational Mode – Wireless LAN Operational mode the device has been configured to.

Available modes are:

- Access Point - Plain 802.11a Access Point mode.

- Infrastructure Client - Client for 3rd party 802.11a Access Points. To achieve compatibility with all

802.11a Access Points the so-called MAC address NAT is being performed for all traffic going from
devices connected to the ethernet interface.

- Polling Client - Client mode for another device using proprietary TDMA polling protocol.

- Polling Base - Base Station mode using proprietary TDMA polling protocol. Base Station mode is
available only when operating in 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) mode.

- AP Client - Client for another XAGYL running device operating in Access Point mode. In this mode full
MAC address passthrough is achieved between bridged ethernet segments.

- PtP Bridge Master - Master device when configured to operate as point to point wireless bridge.

- PtP Bridge Slave - Client device when configured to operate as point to point wireless bridge.

- WDS (Wireless Distribution System) – This mode allows device to operate as an Access Point for other
Stations while maintaining connection with other compatible Access Points operating in WDS mode at the
same time. WDS mode requires all connecting Access Points to operate on the same channel and peer
Access Points MAC addresses need to be configured under Wireless Settings tab. Please note that WDS
works in Bridge mode only.

- Mikrotik WDS Client - This mode allows connection to Mikrotik RouterOS based Access Point, running
in Dynamic WDS mode.
IP Operational Mode – Network mode the device has been configured to work with. Available modes are
Bridge, Router and NAT Router.

Uptime – How long the device has been up and running since last reboot.
System Load – Shows device processor utilization.
ESSID - An ESSID is the name of a wireless network. All wireless devices on a common wireless network

must employ the same ESSID in order to communicate with each other.

OSPREY (WR24G30) USER GUIDE

Frequency – The frequency the device is currenly operating on.
Channel Width – Channel width the device is configured to operate. Available values are 20 MHz

(standard width), 10 MHz (half width) and 5 MHz (quarter width). Smaller size channels general offer
lower throughput, but are much more resilient to interference from other 802.11a networks using 20MHz
channels.
Preferred BSSID – MAC Address of the Access Point the device should connect to. If set to
00:00:00:00:00:00 then only ESSID is taken into account when connecting to the Access Point. Please note
that when operating in PtP Bridge Mode (Master or Slave) it is mandatory to configure other peer MAC
address for the devices to communicate.

PPPoE Authorization – Disabled or Enabled.
PPPoE Link Status – If th OSPREY device succesfuly established PPPoE connection to the PPPoE

concentrator the status will show Connected. Otherwise it will show Not Connected.

Fragmentation Threshold - The size at which WLAN packets are fragmented.
RTS Threshold - Minimum packet size to require RTS (Request To Send) handshaking limiting on-the air

collisions. For packets smaller than this threshold, RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to
the WLAN. For packets larger than this threshold the RTS/CTS handshaking is established.

WLAN Speed – Configured wireless interface Data Rate.
Supported Data Rates – Wireless Data rates the device supports.

Available Data Rates are:
12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 108 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 40 Mhz channel width,
6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 3 6, 48 and 54 Mbps for regular 20 MHz channel width mode,
3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18 , 24 and 27 Mbps for 802.11a mod e with 10 MHz channel widt h,

1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12 and 13.5 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 5 MHz channel width.

Supported Frequencies – Supported Frequencies for currently configured Regulatory Domain.
Distance to the Access Point – Configured distance between this device and the Access Point (or other

Wireless Bridge) it is connecting to. This setting is not required when operating in Access Point mode.

IP Address – Device IP address.
Subnet Mask – Currently defined subnet mask.
Default Gateway – Currently defined default gateway.
DHCP – Whether built in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or client is disabled or

enabled.
Traffic Shaping – If enabled then device will use traffic shaping to limit data according to defined rules. If
disabled then there will be no data traffic limiting.
Firewall – If enabled then device will use build in firewall to pass/block traffic according to the defined
rules. If disabled then there will be no packet filtering.

Encryption - Enable or Disable over the air OSPREY proprietary data Encryption.
Web Server on Port - Port number the build-in web server currently runs on.
Watchdog – Disabled or Enabled, depending on current Watchdog configuration.
Web Login Timeout – Currently configured Web Login Timeout variable.
SNMP Server - System Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Server if enabled there is a possibility to

manage by remote.
