System Overview
Front Panel
1. LED Indicators: There are three kinds of LED, Power, Status and Hard-disk, to indicate different status
of the system.
2. Mgmt: For management use only, it always will open WMI (Web Management Interface) homepage. If
connect to this port with PC directly, please use crossover Ethernet cable.
3. WAN1/ WAN2: Two WAN ports (10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45) are connected to the external network, such
as the ADSL Router from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
4. LAN1/ LAN2: Client machines connect to WHG505 via LAN ports (10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45).
5. Reset:
Press and hold the Reset button for about 5 seconds and status of LED on front panel will start to
blink before restarting the system.
Press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds and status of LED on the front panel will
start to speed up blinking before resetting the system to default configuration.
6. Console: The system can be configured via a serial console port. The administrator can use a terminal
emulation program such as Microsoft’s Hyper Terminal to login to the configuration console interface to
change admin password or monitor system status, etc.
Rear Panel
1. Power Supply Socket:Connecting the power cord to the built-in open-frame power supply (Input: 100~240
VAC, 50/60 Hz ).
2. Power Switch:Power-On (|) & Power-Off ( O ).

H a rd wa re I n sta l l a tio n
Please follow the following steps to install WHG505:
1. Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel.
2. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel. The Power LED should be on to indicate a proper connection.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN1 Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to an xDSL/cable modem, or a switch/hub of an internal network. The LED of this port should be on
to indicate a proper connection.
4. Connect a crossover Ethernet cable to the Mgmt Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable to an administrator PC for configuring the WHG505 system, an AP for extending wireless
coverage, a switch for connecting more wired clients, or a client PC. The LED of Mgmt port should be on to
indicate a proper connection.
Usually a straight RJ-45 could be applied if WHG505 is connected to a hub/computer which supports
automatic crossover. However, after theAccess Point hardware is reset, WHG505 would not be able
to connect to theAccess Point while connecting with a straight cable unless the cable was pulled out
and plugged in again. This scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.

< System Concept >
4ipnet WHG505 is capable of managing user authentication, authorization and accounting. The user account
information is stored in the local database or a specified external database server. Featured with user
authentication and integrated with external payment gateway, WHG505 allows users to easily pay the fee and
enjoy the Internet service using credit cards through Authorize.net or PayPal. With centralizedAP
management feature, the administrator does not need to worry about how to manage multiple wireless access
point devices. Furthermore,WHG505 introduces the concept of Service Zones - multiple virtual networks, each
with its own definable access control profiles. This is very useful for hotspot owners seeking to provide different
customers or staff with different levels of network services. The following diagram is an example of WHG505
set to manage the Internet and network access services at a hotspot venue.
< Web Management Interface >
4ipnet WHG505 supports web-based configuration. Upon the completion of hardware installation, WHG505
can be configured via web browsers with JavaScript enabled such as Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above
or Firefox.
1. To access the web management interface, connect a PC to the Mgmt Port, and then launch a browser.
Make sure you have set DHCP in TCP/IP of your PC to get an IP address dynamically.
2. Next, enter the gateway IP address of WHG505 at the address field. The default gateway IP address
is“http://192.168.255.254” (“https” is used for a secured connection).


3. The administrator login page will appear. Enter “admin”, the default username, and “admin”, the default
password, in the User Name and Password fields. Click Enter to log in.
4. After a successful login, a “Welcome to System Administration” page will appear on the screen.
For the first time, if WHG505 is not using a trusted SSL certificate, there will be a “Certificate Error”,
because the browser treats WHG505 as an illegal website. Please press “Continue to this website” to
continue. The default user login page will then appear in the browser. For more information, please see
Additional Configuration, WHG505 User’s Manual.
If you can’t get the login screen, the reasons may be: (1) The PC is set incorrectly so that the PC can’t
obtain the IP address automatically from the LAN port; (2) The IP address and the default gateway are
not under the same network segment. Please use default IP address such as 192.168.255.xx in your
network and then try it again. For the configuration on PC, please refer to WHG505 User’s Manual,
Appendix A - Network Configuration on PC & User Login.

WAN1 interface from the following three
available connections: Static, Dynamic, or
PPPoE. Your ISP or network administrator can
advise on the connection type available to you.
Below depicts an example for Dynamic.
•Click Next to continue.
Step 3: Local User Account (Optional)
New local accounts can be created and added into
the database via this optional function. If local user
accounts are not required, click Skip to go directly to
Step 4. However, It is recommended to create at
least one local user account in order to verify the
system‘s readiness upon completion of this Setup
Wizard.
•Enter the Username (e.g. “testuser) and
Password (e.g. “testuser”) to create a new local
account.
•Click Next to continue.

server at this stage. Therefore, a
longer startup time is required if the
configured DNS cannot be found.
•When the following Administrator Login Page
appears, it means the restart process is now
completed.

< User Login >
To verify whether the configuration of the new local
user account(s) created via the Setup Wizard has
been completed successfully:
1. Connect a client device (e.g. laptop, PC) to any
LAN Port of WHG505. The device will obtain an
IP address automatically via DHCP.
2. Open a web browser on a client device, access
any URL, and then the default User Login Page
will appear.
3. Enter the Username and Password of a local
user account previously generated via Setup
Wizard (e.g. “testuser@local” as the Username
and “testuser” as the Password); then Click
Login.
Note:
1. WHG505 supports multiple authentication
options including built-in local user database
and external authentication database (e.g.
RADIUS). The system will automatically
identify which authentication option is used
from the full username entered.
2. The format of a full (valid) username is
userid@postfix, where “userid” is the user
ID and “postfix” is the name of the selected
authentication option.
3. Exception: The postfix can be omitted only
when the default authentication option is
used. For example, “LOCAL” is the default
authentication option at this system;
therefore, you may enter either “testuser”or
“testuser@local” in the Username field.
Congratulation!
The Login Success Page will appear after a client
has successfully logged into WHG505 and has been
authenticated by the system.
The appearance of Login Success Page means that
WHG505 has been installed and configured properly.
< Service Zone & AP Management >
4ipnet WHG505 has introduced an important new
concept called “Service Zone”. For how to set up
Service Zones, please refer to the User’s Manual.
WHG505 can centrally manage up to 230 access
points (APs). For how to set up the “AP
Management” feature, please refer to the “AP
Management” section of the User’s Manual.
For further configuration and information,
please refer to the User’s Manual.
