Chapter 1 Introduction
The EXA100 is a Wi-Fi AP module which can be inserted into
wall-mounted customized housing. The EXA100 is an 802.11n
(300Mbps) Wireless AP and is backward compatible with existing
802.11b (11Mbps) and 11g (54Mbps) equipment.
The EXA100 is customized for Hotel environment applications. It
is integrated to be power supplied by DC-Jack or punch
connector from Power over Ethernet Device and ADSL Router
(EXP100). Hence it can provide several kinds of application
methods to combine the wireless easily. It also provides state of
the art security features such as 64/128 bit WEP encryption and
WPA/WPA2 encryption, Firewall, and VPN pass through.
1.1 Features
●Wireless 802.11n access point – up to 300Mbps
●2 LAN ports (punch by IDC connector)
●Browser based interface for configuration and management:
OS independent and easy to use
●Support CLI command to access Wireless AP
●Full wireless security – WEP, WPA, WPA2
●Power Supply for 3 options (DC-Jack / ADSL power in / PSE power in )

Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user
interface (WUI) using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer
(version 5.0 and later).
3.1 Default Settings
The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.
LAN IP address: 192.168.1.254
LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Administrative access (username: root , password: 12345 )
User access (username: user, password: user)
Remote (WAN) access (username: support, password: support)
Technical Note
During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will
then read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of
flash memory. The default attributes are overwritten when identical
attributes with different values are configured. The configuration profile in
permanent storage can be created via the web user interface or telnet user
interface, or other management protocols. The factory default configuration
can be restored either by pushing the reset button for more than five
seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the Restore
Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.
3.2 IP Configuration
STATIC IP MODE
In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.
Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet
192.168.1.x.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
However, the general steps involved are similar for most
operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation
for further details.
10
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area
Connection (You may also access this screen by double-clicking
the Local Area Connection icon on your taskbar). Click the
Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Change the IP address to the 192.168.1.x (1<x<255) subnet with
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now display as
shown below.
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.
11
3.3 Login Procedure
Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface.
NOTE: The default settings can be found in 3.1 Default Settings.
STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for
the device in the Web address field. For example, if the default IP
address is 192.168.1.254, type http://192.168.1.254.
NOTE: For local administration (i.e. LAN access), the PC running the
browser must be attached to the Ethernet, and not necessarily to
the device.
For remote access (i.e. WAN), use the IP address shown on the
12
Chapter 4 Device Information screen and login with remote
username and password.
STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below. Enter the default
username and password, as defined in section 3.1 Default
Settings.
Click OK to continue.
NOTE: The login password can be changed later (see 8.6.1 Passwords).
13
STEP 3: After successfully logging in for the first time, you will reach this
screen.
14
Chapter 4 Device Information
The web user interface window is divided into two frames, the main menu
(at left) and the display screen (on the right). The main menu has several
options and selecting each of these options opens a submenu with more
selections.
NOTE: The menu items shown are based upon the configured
connection(s) and user account privileges. For example, if NAT
and Firewall are enabled, the main menu will display the NAT and
Security submenus. If either is disabled, their corresponding
menu(s) will also be disabled.
Device Info is the first selection on the main menu so it will be discussed
first. Subsequent chapters will introduce the other main menu options in
sequence.
The Access Point Status screen displays at startup.
This screen shows software, IP settings and other related information.

Chapter 5 Wireless Setting
5.1 Basic
You can configure the minimum number of wireless settings for
communication, such as network name (SSID) and channel.
Wireless Network
Field Description
Driver Version Displays the version of the driver.
Radio On/Off: Enable or disable the wireless LAN.
Network Mode:
There are 5 modes: 11b only, 11g only,11n
only,11b/g mixed mode, and 11b/g/n mixed
mode.
Network Name (SSID):
The service set identification (SSID) is a
unique name to identify the router in the
wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating
to the router must have the same SSID.

17
Multiple SSID 1/2/3/4: This router supports multiple SSIDs called
Guest SSIDs or Virtual Access Points.
Broadcast Network Name
(SSID):
Select Enable to allow the SSID broadcast
on the network, so that the STA can find it.
Otherwise, the STA cannot find it.
AP Isolation:
Enable or disable AP Isolation. When many
clients connect to the same access point,
they can access each other. If you want to
disable the access between clients which
connect the same access point, you can
enable this function.
MBSSID AP Isolation: Enable or disable MBSSID AP Isolation.
BSSID:
Basic Service Set Identifier. This is the
assigned MAC address of the station in the
access point. This unique identifier is in Hex
format and can only be edited when Multi
BSSID is enabled in the previous screen.
Frequency (Channel):
A channel is the radio frequency used by the
wireless device. Channels available depend
on your geographical area. You may have a
choice of channels (for your region) and you
should use a different channel from an
adjacent AP to reduce the interference. The
Interference and degrading performance
occurs when radio signals from different APs
overlap.
