1Preface
1.1 Manual Description
This manual mainly helps users use AP products correctly with the three
working modes of AP.
➢FIT AP Mode
➢FAT AP Bridge Mode
➢FAT AP Routing Mode
This manual takes the WL8200-XW2 as an example for configuration. Because there are certain
differences in hardware and software specifications for each model, all issues involving product specifications
need to be confirmed with Yunke China Information Technology Limited.
1.2 Conventions
In this manual,
➢For nouns such as buttons on the page, use "" to indicate them, such as "Edit"；
➢Use >> to indicate the sequence of entering the configuration interface, such
as "first-level menu" >> "second-level menu";
This manual also uses various eye-catching signs to indicate places that should be paid
special attention to during operation. As following:
Caution & Attention: Remind the matters needing attention in the operation, and improper operation
may cause the setting to be invalid, data loss or equipment damage.
Instructions & Tips: Make necessary additions and explanations to the description of the operation
content.

2AP Basic Operations
2.1 WEB Login
Use POE (or local power) to charge the AP, connect the network port of the
management computer to the AP's LAN port (or the management host connects to
the AP's WLAN wirelessly), open the browser (recommended: Google, Firefox or
IE11) and enter the management IP address on the LAN side (the default is
https://192.168.1.10) to access the web configuration interface of the wireless AP.
The default login user name is admin, and the password is admin.
If the AP has no LAN port or no wired client, you can use the wireless client to
connect to the AP's SSID (the default is DCN_WLAN) to access the AP.
If the network accessed by the AP has a DHCP server, the address of the AP
may be obtained dynamically. In this situation, the user should access the current IP
address of the AP.

2.2 AP Mode
After logging into the AP's WEB page, if you want to switch to a certain mode,
you can switch to the specified mode by clicking "AP Mode" on the left menu. As
following:
2.3 Running Status
After logging into the system, the homepage displays the system running
status, including device information, network information, wireless information and
system resource status. Ticking "Turn on Auto Refresh" in the system resource
status panel, the interface will display the CPU utilization and memory utilization in
real time, and refresh every 5 seconds.

2.4 Statistics
The statistics contains three parts: flow statistics, radio statistics and client
statistics.
2.4.1 Flow Statistics
Flow Statistics interface shows the message sent and received by different
SSIDs. As following:
2.4.2 Radio Statistics
Radio statistics interface displays different radio statistics sending and
receiving message information from radio statistics perspective. As following:
2.4.3 Client Statistics
Client statistics list displays all client information related with the device,
including client IP address, client MAC address, SSID, radio, channel, RSSI, portal
authenticated status, up-time, etc. As following:

2.5 System Maintenance
2.5.1 Modify Password
Click "System Maintenance">>"Modify Password" on the left menu, you can
modify the username and password on the AP management interface. When
modifying password, enter the original password first, then enter the new password
twice, and click "Save ". As following:

- 10 -
2.5.2 Configuration Management
In this interface, the user can perform related operations such as configuration
import and export, restore factory setting, system upgrade, reboot, etc. As
following:
After the device is reset to factory default, all configurations will be deleted and
restored to FIT mode.
2.5.3 System Log
The diagnostic log interface displays the latest log information of the device. It
is divided into two sections: remote host and local log.
The remote host includes the log host IP address and the log host port
configuration, which can store device logs to a remote syslog server.
The local log supports the log level setting and log packaging export function.
Click the "Export Log" to package and download all log information to the local. As
following:

- 11 -
2.5.4 Radius Template
Click" System Maintenance ">>" Radius Template " to maintain the Radius
server template.
(1) Radius template name, authentication server IP address, and authentication
service shared key are required.
(2) The accounting server IP and the accounting shared key are optional. Both
of them must be filled in or not filled in at the same time, otherwise the system
prompts that they cannot be saved normally.
(3) The key requires 1-64 non-Chinese characters.

- 12 -
2.5.5 Authentication Management
Click “System Maintenance”>>“Authentication Management”, the user
can see authentication management configuration and Telnet status.
(1) Select local authentication and save it directly.
(2) To select Radius server authentication, you need to select a Radius server.
This Radius server has been maintained in the "Radius server template".
Click “System Maintenance”>>“Authentication Management”, the user
can see authentication management configuration and Telnet status. Choose to
open or close telnet and save it.

- 13 -
2.5.6 SNMP Configuration
Click “System Maintenance”>>“SNMP Configuration” to configure
SNMP related information. As shown below:

- 14 -
2.5.7 SSL Certificate Management
Click " System Maintenance ">>"SSL Certificate Management " to upload
the SSL certificate. As shown below:
The SSL certificate establishes an SSL secure channel between the client
browser and the Web server, and mainly used to provide a user authentication
server, to encrypt data and hide。
A valid SSL certificate includes a public key and a private key. The public key is
used to encrypt information, and the private key is used to interpret the encrypted
information，When the browser points to a secure domain, SSL will synchronously
confirm the server and the client, and create an encryption method and a unique
session key.

- 15 -
Click System Maintenance->SSL Certificate Management to upload SSL
certificate, as shown in the figure.
（1）Upload method
Login web，System Maintenance-> SSL Certificate Management-> Select
Certificate(.crt.key)，select the server crt and key files in the local ssl certificate，then
click to start uploading.
（2）Upload process
Uploaded certificate will replace the original ssl certificate. The page prompts
that the certificate is uploaded successfully, restart the WEB service to ensure that
the certificate takes effect，Selecting the ‘OK’button will immediately restart the
HTTP service，The browser needs to add a new certificate to confirm the risk before
accessing AP WEB through HTTPS protocol. Uploaded crt and key files after restart
the web service，cannot delete in the foreground. If you need to restore the default
certificate, restore the AP to the factory and reconfigure the fat AP. If you delete the
certificate in the background, it will cause https inaccessibility and https redirection
failure.
（3）Certificate View
admin@Dcn:/# cat /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt

3FIT AP Mode
When there are a large number of APs on the network, the configuration or
management one by one will become more complicated. At this time, it is suitable
to use the FIT AP mode + AC (AP controller) for unified management and
configuration, thereby reducing the configuration and management costs.
The typical topology is as following:
The AP is shipped in FIT AP mode by default. You can also switch to FIT AP
mode by restoring the factory setting or following the instructions in the AP mode
chapter. The wireless configuration of the FIT mode is operated uniformly through
