2Login
Welcome to the Edgewater EAP3000
The login page authenticates users and ensures that only authorized users can view or modify this
device’s settings.
Login username and password
The device accepts two types of logins, one with administrative privileges and one with guest
privileges. With administrative privileges, you can view and also modify the configuration of the
access point. Logging in with guest privileges will only allow you to view the existing configuration,
but not to change it.
Enter the username and password on this page to login to the router and view/edit its
configuration. The default user names are mentioned on the label at the bottom of the router.
Session Timeout
Once logged in, the router will maintain a session for the login. If there is no modification or access
for a specified period, the session will expire and you will be asked to login again. The default idle
session time is five minutes, but can be changed by logging in and updating the timeout value in
the Management -> Users page.

3Wireless
3.1 Wireless -> Access Point
The AP table displays the list of configured Access Points for this device. From this summary list,
status and parameters of each AP are available for display or configuration.
! (Status): An AP can be disabled if not in use and enabled as needed. The AP is disabled if the
status light is grey and it is enabled if the status light is green. Disabling an AP does not delete the
configuration, but stops the AP. Enabling the AP creates a wireless network where computers and
other devices can join and communicate with the devices connected to the access point or the
devices on the local area network (LAN).
AP Name: This is AP identifier which uniquely identifies AP in the list of configured APs.
SSID: the name or SSID (service set identifier) is the name of the wireless network serviced by
this AP; it is configured on the Profile page and later associated with AP by selecting it from the
profile drop down box. Note that a given wireless profile can be common to multiple APs, and so
the SSID is not unique to an AP. In order for the computers or devices to communicate via this

wireless network serviced by this AP, all devices must select the same SSID from the list of
wireless networks in the area.
Broadcast: The icon here indicates whether SSID is broadcasted or not in the beacon frames
transmitted by the AP. If SSID is not broadcast then wireless devices will not be able to see the
network name (SSID). The green tick mark indicates that the AP’s SSID is broadcasted to the
public; the red ‘cancel’ icon indicates the SSID is not broadcasted and a device would have to
specify the SSID exactly to connect to this AP.
Profile: This field has a brief description of the security, encryption and authentication combination
assigned to the AP. A Profile is not necessarily unique to an AP; rather this grouping of wireless
settings can be used on more than one AP at the same time.
Radio: The physical radio(s) on which this AP is running on. An AP can run on multiple radios at
the same time for load-balancing and better throughput.
VLAN: The AP can be part of a logical network defined by the VLAN id; this allows devices
connected to the VLAN through this AP to exchange data with one another as in a LAN.
Action/Edit: The edit button will link to the AP Configuration page, allowing you to change the
profile, radio, mode, etc. that is used by this AP.
Action/Status: The status button will link to a statistics page for this AP, displaying traffic
statistics for the AP and the list of the connected clients.
The actions that can be taken on APs are:
Select All: Select all the APs in the table
Enable: Enable the selected APs
Disable: Stops the selected APs
Delete: Stops and deletes the selected AP or APs
Add: Add a new AP

3.2 Wireless -> Access Point -> AP Configuration
This page allows you to add a new AP or edit the configuration of an existing AP. The details will
then be displayed in the AP table on the main Access Points page under the Wireless menu.
AP Name: This is the unique name of the AP selected to be configured.
Role: The AP can act as a traditional Access Point device, WDS repeater, or WDS Root. When AP
is configured as a WDS repeater, it acts like a wireless client and can connect to an AP configured
in WDS Root mode on another EAP3000 device. A successful connection to WDS Root AP creates a
WDS link and the traffic from the clients connected to other APs on this EAP3000 device is
forwarded over the WDS link (only the broadcast traffic and the traffic destined to other devices
which is not connected to APs on this EAP3000 device is forwarded). Note that when AP is
configured in WDS repeater mode or WDS Root mode, clients will not be able to connect to this AP.
Profile Name: choose the encryption and authentication methods to be used by clients
connecting to this AP from the dropdown list of profiles. This list is populated by adding profiles in
the Profile menu.

Radio: Select the physical radio(s) on which this AP will run; an AP can run on more than one
radio.
Mode: this selects the 802.11 modulation technique. This device supports 802.11b and 802.11g
modes. Select g only if all devices in the wireless network can support 802.11g. Select b only
mode if other devices and computers in the network can only support 802.11b. Select g and b if
there will be some devices in this wireless network that will use 802.11g and some that will use
802.11b.
VLAN Enabled: Select this check box to tag the traffic received from connected clients with this
AP with a VLAN id.
Default VLAN: VLAN id which will be used to tag the traffic from connected clients.
Maximum Associated Clients: The maximum number of clients that can connect to this AP.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Click Reset to revert to the previous settings.
