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.

Wireless > VAP Config

To enable each VAP in the , we need to configure each VAP individually and the settings of each are collected as its profile.

Wireless > Security

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:

Wireless > Repeater

The system supports 3 options of Repeater types:

Wireless > Advanced

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.

Wireless > Access Control

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.

Wireless > Site Survey

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.

Firewall

Firewall > Firewall List

Enable Layer 2 Firewall: If the function is enabled, the firewall rules in the list with checked state will be enforced.

Firewall > Service

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.

Firewall > Advanced Firewall Settings

Utilities

Utilities > Change Password

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).

Utilities > System Upgrade

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.

Utilities > Reboot

At this page, you can reboot this AP remotely.
