Network Settings
LAN-Side IP Address
The “LAN-side IP address” page allows you to configure your access
point on your Local Area Network (LAN). You can enable the access
point to dynamically receive an IP address from your router’s DHCP
server or you can specify a static IP address for your access point, as
well as configure DNS servers.
LAN-side IP Address
IP Address
Assignment
Select “DHCP Client” for your access
point to be assigned a dynamic IP
address from your router’s DHCP server,
or select “Static IP” to manually specify a
static/fixed IP address for your access
point (below).
IP Address
Specify the IP address here. This IP
address will be assigned to your access
point and will replace the default IP
address.
Subnet Mask
Specify a subnet mask. The default value
is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
For DHCP users, select “From DHCP” to

can pause new session request until
current data processing is complete, in
order to avoid device overloads under
heavy traffic.
802.3az

Energy Efficient Ethernet feature which
disables unused interfaces to reduce power
usage.
24!

VLAN
The “VLAN” (Virtual Local Area Network) enables you to configure
VLAN settings. A VLAN is a local area network which maps
workstations virtually instead of physically and allows you to group
together or isolate users from each other.
Note: VLAN IDs 1 – 4094 are supported.

SSID (up to 16). The SSID can consist of
any combination of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
VLAN ID
Specify a VLAN ID for each SSID.
Auto Channel
Enable/disable auto channel selection.
Auto channel selection will automatically
set the wireless channel for the access
point’s 2.4GHz frequency based on
availability and potential interference.
When disabled, select a channel manually
as shown in the next table.
Auto Channel
Range
Select a range from which the auto
channel setting (above) will choose a
channel.
Auto Channel
Interval
Specify a frequency for how often the auto
channel setting will check/reassign the
wireless channel. Check/uncheck the
“Change channel even if clients are
connected” box according to your
preference.

Channel
Select a wireless channel from.
Channel
Bandwidth
Set the channel bandwidth: Manual select
Bandwidth or set to Auto.
BSS Basic Rate
Set
Set a Basic Service Set (BSS) rate: this is
a series of rates to control communication
frames for wireless clients.
Advanced
These settings are for experienced users only. Please do not change
any of the values on this page unless you are already familiar with
these functions.
Contention Slot
Select “Short” or “Long” – this value is used
for contention windows in WMM.
28!
!
Preamble Type
Set the wireless radio preamble type. The
preamble type in 802.11 based wireless
communication defines the length of the
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for
communication between the access point
and roaming wireless adapters. The default
value is “Short Preamble”.
Guard Interval
Set the guard interval. A shorter interval
can improve performance.
802.11g
Protection
Enable/disable 802.11g protection, which
increases reliability but reduces bandwidth
(clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to
access point, and access point will
broadcast Clear to Send (CTS), before a
packet is sent from client.)
802.11n
Protection
Enable/disable 802.11n protection, which
increases reliability but reduces bandwidth
(clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to
access point, and access point will
broadcast Clear to Send (CTS), before a
packet is sent from client.)
DTIM Period
Set the DTIM (delivery traffic indication
message) period value of the wireless
radio. The default value is 1.
RTS Threshold
Set the RTS threshold of the wireless
radio. The default value is 2347.
Fragment
Threshold
Set the fragment threshold of the wireless
radio. The default value is 2346.
Multicast Rate
Set the transfer rate for multicast packets
or use the “Auto” setting.
Tx Power
Set the power output of the wireless radio.
You may not require 100% output power.
Setting a lower power output can enhance
security since potentially
malicious/unknown users in distant areas
will not be able to access your signal.
Beacon Interval
Set the beacon interval of the wireless
radio. The default value is 100.
29!
!
Station idle
timeout
Set the interval for keepalive messages
from the access point to a wireless client to
verify if the station is still alive/active.
30!

Security
SSID Selection
Select which SSID to configure security
settings for.
Broadcast SSID
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients
as an available Wi-Fi network. When
disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an
available Wi-Fi network to clients – clients
must manually enter the SSID in order to
connect. A hidden (disabled) SSID is
typically more secure than a visible
(enabled) SSID.
Wireless Client
Isolation
Enable or disable wireless client isolation.
Wireless client isolation prevents clients
connected to the access point from
communicating with each other and
improves security. Typically, this function is
useful for corporate environments or public
hot spots and can prevent brute force
attacks on clients’ usernames and
passwords.
Load Balancing
Load balancing limits the number of
wireless clients connected to an SSID. Set
a load balancing value (maximum 50).

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can bridge/repeat access points
together in an extended network. WDS settings can be configured as
shown below.
Note: When using WDS, configure the IP address of each access
point to be in the same subnet and ensure there is only one
active DHCP server among connected access points, preferably
on the WAN side.

MAC Filter
Mac filtering is a security feature that can help to prevent unauthorized
users from connecting to your access point.
This function allows you to define a list of network devices permitted to
connect to the access point. Devices are each identified by their unique
MAC address. If a device which is not on the list of permitted MAC
addresses attempts to connect to the access point, it will be denied.
The MAC address filtering table is displayed below:
Add MAC

WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification
based on the IEEE 802.11e standard, which provides Quality of Service
(QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic
according to four categories: background, best effort, video and voice.
Configuring WMM consists of adjusting parameters on queues for
different categories of wireless traffic. Traffic is sent to the following
queues:
Background
Low
Priority
High throughput, non time sensitive
bulk data e.g. FTP
Best Effort
Medium
Priority
Traditional IP data, medium throughput
and delay.
Video
High
Priority
Time sensitive video data with minimum
time delay.
Voice
High
Priority
Time sensitive data such as VoIP and
streaming media with minimum time
delay.
Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delays for video,
voice, multimedia and critical applications. The values can further be
adjusted manually:
49!
!
CWMin
Minimum Contention Window
(milliseconds): This value is input to the
initial random backoff wait time algorithm
for retry of a data frame transmission. The
backoff wait time will be generated
between 0 and this value. If the frame is
not sent, the random backoff value is
doubled until the value reaches the
number defined by CWMax (below). The
CWMin value must be lower than the
CWMax value. The contention window
scheme helps to avoid frame collisions
and determine priority of frame
transmission. A shorter window has a
higher probability (priority) of transmission.
CWMax
Maximum Contention Window
(milliseconds): This value is the upper limit
to random backoff value doubling (see
above).
AIFSN
Arbitration Inter-Frame Space
(milliseconds): Specifies additional time
between when a channel goes idle and
the AP/client sends data frames. Traffic
with a lower AIFSN value has a higher
priority.
TxOP
Transmission Opportunity (milliseconds):
The maximum interval of time an AP/client
can transmit. This makes channel access
more efficiently prioritized. A value of 0
means only one frame per transmission. A
greater value effects higher priority.

Appendix
Configuring your IP address
The access point uses the default IP address 192.168.1.1. In order to
access the browser based configuration interface, you need to modify
the IP address of your computer to be in the same IP address subnet
e.g. 192.168.1.x (x = 2 – 254).
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different
operating systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your
operating system.
In the following examples we use the IP address 192.168.2.10 though
you can use any IP address in the range 192.168.1.x (x = 2 – 254).
