Getting Starte d
1.6 G e tt i ng S t ar ted
To access the WBSIac configuration interface, perform the fo llow i ng st ep s:
1 Connect the local area network
(LAN) port of the WBSIac APto the network port of your co mpu t er
using an Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cables are
a l so known as LAN cables or network cables. They connect devices such as
computers, APs,and switches on w i r ed ne t w o r ks.
2 Next, take the power
adapter that comes w i th the set and connect it to a power socket as we ll as the
WBSIac AP.
3
Ass i gn the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x ne t w o r k,
e.g., 192.168.1.10 and with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
4 Launch a web browser and enter the default
IP address of the AP, 192.168.1.1, into the address bar .
The AP's configuration web page is
d i sp layed .
The first page that you see is the login page. The words on the top left denote the firmware bu ild
version, e.g., WB S a ci -1 .01.00001 .
Figure 1-2: The
WBSIac Login Pa ge
The Login Page is
presented when the WBSIac AP’s IP Address is r equested.
The default authorization details ar e:
Username: ad min
Password:
pa sswor d
Advanced information : There is a 'root' user in the AP's Linux shell. It cannot be used to log i n to t he
AP's web page. Use the Arena Controller to change the password of the ' r oot ' user to a password of
your choice. Following that, you can access the AP's Linux shell by using a ser i al cab l e or by SSH. The
PuTTY software can be used for either method. The Arena Controller software is offered free of charge.

The
WBSIac APcan operate in the follow i ng modes:
Access Point /
Master
Station /
Clie nt
Access Point WDS
Station WDS
A
w i de area network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area. The world's most popular WAN is the
Inte r n et.
Ina commonly used setup, the
WAN port of an access point connects to a modem via an Ethernet cable.
A modem can be a cable, d i git a l subscriber line ( D SL) , or fiber optic modem. A modem t r ans l at es the
signal from the internet service provider ( I SP) to Ethernet signals that the access point can un derst and.
Thisallows the access point to have internet co nnect ion.
Other devices called stations connect
wirelessly to this access point. These devices can be mobile phon es ,
printers, IP cameras, laptops, or even other APs. The stations obtain internet connection from the access
po int .
An access point
WDS and a station WDS together extend the wireless coverage, like a r epea t er .

2- 10 : The LinkStatus S e ction
In the
Link Status section on the Status > Overview web page, the value on the top left box deno te s
the current received signal strength, e.g., -48 dBm. The box directly below it shows the current TX-CCQ
( t r an smiss ion client co nn ect i on quality), e.g., 71 %. The bottom left box shows a realtime graph of the
r e ce i v ed signal strength over the l a st 60 seconds. The box d i r e ctly to its r i gh t shows a r e alt i me graph of
the TX-CCQ over the past 60 s e co nds .
On the right of this section, there are 3 vertical bars. Each bar shows the current received signal
str ength
of each antenna, e.g., -53 dBm, -44 d B m, and -48 dBm. If the radio has only 2 antennas, the th ir d
vertical bar is g i ven a def au l t value of -95 dB m.
 E nab le Alignment Buzzer: When enabled, the board would continually emit beeping sounds t o
ind i cat e the received sig na l strength. Every 3 seconds, the board would emit a number of beeps (1 to
4) in quick succession. The number of beeps is the same as the number of lighted Signal str ength
indicator LEDs . Just like for LEDs, more beeps indicate a higher received signal strength. This is useful
for a person align i ng d i r e ctio nal antennas at a height, in an outdoor scenario, if the LEDs are no t
vis i ble. Another person on the ground cou l d adjust the threshold values for the LEDs. There is so me
delay before the received signal strength gets reported by the alignment buzzer. To turn off t he
beeping sounds, clickthe Disable Alignment Buzzer bu tt on.
