Organization of the Configuration Web:
For easier maintenance, SNMP and remote syslog services are provided in the . The can be managed remotely in a centralized manner.
The item in this page is for AP's RF settings and will be applied to all VAPs.
Normally, the available RF configurations can be illustrated as:
Band | SSID | Short Preamble | Channel | Max Transmit Rate | Transmit Power |
Disable | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
802.11b | To-be-associated AP's SSID |
Disable/Enable | Auto, 1~11, 13, or 14 | 1M, 2M, 5.5M, 11M | Auto, Lowest, Low, Medium, High, Highest |
802.11g | To-be-associated AP's SSID |
Disable/Enable | Auto, 1~11 or 13 | 6M, 9M, 12M, 18M, 24M, 36M, 48M, 54M | |
802.11b+802.11g | To-be-associated AP's SSID | Disable/Enable | Auto, 1~11, 13, or 14 | 1M, 2M, 5.5M, 6M, 9M, 11M, 12M, 18M, 24M, 36M, 48M, 54M |
However, due to RF regulation in different nations, available values in the above table will differ.
To enable each VAP in the , we need to configure each VAP individually and the settings of each are collected as its profile.
supports various user authentication and data encryption in each VAP's profile, and thus we can depend on the needs to provide different service levels to clients. The security type includes:
The system supports 3 options of Repeater types:
Mostly, the default settings should meet general requirements. If occasionally we need tune or debug the wireless network, we may take the following parameters for that purpose.
The supports various methods to authenticate clients from using wireless LAN. The default policy is unlimited connections without any authentication required. To restrict the station number of wireless connections, just change the Maximum number of stations to a desired number. For example, while the number of station is set to 20, only 20 stations are allowed to connect to this VAP.
For MAC ACL control, the supported methods include:
The one selected in the Access Control Type is the activated policy while the rest ones will be omitted.
Site Survey is an useful tool to provide information about the surrounding wireless environment; available APs are shown with their respective SSID, MAC Address, Channel, Rate setting, Signal reading, and Security type. The administrator can click Setup or Connect to configure the wireless connection according to the mentioned readings.
Enable Layer 2 Firewall: If the function is enabled, the firewall rules in the list with checked state will be enforced.
Firewall Service: It provides a list of rules to block or pass traffics of layer-3 or above protocols. These services are available to choose from drop-down list of layer 2 firewall rule edit page with EtherType to be IPv4. The first 28 entries are default services and the administrator can add/delete any extra desired services.

The password will be verified before entering this Web interface. The login ID is "admin".
Utilities > Config Save & Restore
The system can be restored to the default setting by clicking on Reset. The settings of the device can be backuped to a file. This file can be saved for future use. It can be used to duplicate settings to the other devices (backup settings and then restore in another device).
Please make sure you have the correct firmware file. During firmware update, please, don't turn off the power. This may permanent damage this AP.
At this page, you can reboot this AP remotely.

List all associated clients from all the VAPs. The administrator can use this table to manage the clients or refer to the signal strength for debug purpose.
The administrator can review detailed information of the repeater function on this page. Information of
repeater’s status, mode and encryption is provided.
Event log provides the records of system activities. The administrator can monitor the system status by checking this log.
In the log, normally, each line represents an event record; within each line, there are 4 fields:
To save the file locally or clear all the records, press SAVE LOG or CLEAR button respectively.
