System Requirements
Before configuration, please make sure your system meets the following requirements :
- A computer coupled with 10/ 100 Base-TX adapter .
- Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.1.x, as the default IP address of
KWA-O6020-I is 192.168.1.1. (X cannot be 0, 1, nor 255)
- A Web browser on PC for configuration such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above,
Netscape or Firefox.
How to Login the Web-based Interface
KWA-O6020-I provides you with user-friendly Web-based management tool.
Open IE and enter the IP address (Default: 192.168.1.1) of KWA-O6020-I into the address field. You
will see the login page as below.
Figure 2 Login Page
Enter the password (Default: password) and click “Login” to login the main page of KWA-O6020-I. As
you can see, this management interface provides four main options in the black bar above, which are
System, Wireless, Management and Statistics.

Figure 3 Main Page
!!!Note
zThe username and password are case-sensitive, and the password should be no more than
19 characters.

Basic System Settings
For users who use KWA-O6020-I for the first time, it is recommended that you begin configuration
from “Basic Settings” in “System” shown below :
Figure 4 Basic System Settings
Basic Settings
Network Mode: Specify the network mode, including Bridge and Router. It is easy to configure
parameters in Bridge Mode; however, users must pay extra attention to the way they configure the
device when it is set to Router Mode.
Device Name: Specify the device name for recognition, which is composed of no more than 15
characters with (0-9), (A-Z), (a-z) or (-). Device Name provides users with another option to view the
login webpage; in other words, open IE, enter the Device Name (ex: ap243943) of KWA-O6020-I into
the address field, click enter, and then login webpage will show up.
Country Region: The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands is
country dependent.
Spanning Tree: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol for AP which provides
path redundancy while preventing loops in a network. STP allows only one active path at a time
between the access points but establish the redundant link as a backup if the initial link fails.

IP Settings (Bridge)
This is available only under Bridge network mode. Open “TCP/IP Settings” in “System” as below to
configure the parameters for LAN which connects to the LAN port of KWA-O6020-I . In this page, users
may change the settings for IPAddress, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server.
Figure 5 IP Settings (Bridge)
Obtain IP Address Automatically: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this option,
thus KWA-O6020-I is able to obtain IP settings automatically from that DHCP server.
Use Fixed IP Address: Check this option. You have to specify a static IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway and DNS server for KWA-O6020-I manually. Make sure the specified IP address is
unique on your network in order to prevent IP conflict.
IP Settings (Router)
This is available only under Router mode. Open “TCP/IP Settings” in “System” as below to configure
the parameters of KWA-O6020-I for accessing the Internet.

Figure 6 IP Settings (Router)
WAN Settings: Specify the Internet access method to Static IP, DHCP or PPPOE. Users must enter
WAN IPAddress, Subnet Mask, Gateway settings provided by your ISPs.
LAN Settings: When DHCP Server is disabled, users can specify IP address and subnet mask for
KWA-O6020-I manually. Make sure the specified IP address is unique on your network in order to
prevent IP conflict. When DHCP Server is enabled, users may specify DHCP IPAddress Range,
DHCP Subnet Mask, DHCP Gateway and Lease Time (15-44640 minutes).
!!!Warning:
zIn AP mode, KWA-O6020-I must establish connection with another wireless device before it is set to
Router mode. In Router mode, it is impossible for users to access device via wired port, for WAN is on
wired port and LAN is on wireless port. Users can access device through the wireless device
connected with KWA-O6020-I .
zIn CPE mode, users can access KWA-O6020-I via its wired port, for WAN is on wireless port and LAN
is on wired port when device is set to Router mode.
zWDS mode andAP Repeater mode are similar to AP mode when device is set to Router mode; WAN
is on wired port and LAN is on wireless port. Thus users must also connect KWA-O6020-I with
another wireless device before it is set to Router mode and access KWA-O6020-I via the connected
wireless device.

Time Settings
Compliant with NTP, the KWA-O6020-I is capable of keeping its time in complete accord with the
Internet time. Make configuration in “Time Settings” from “System”. To use this feature, check
“Enable NTP Client Update” in advance.
Figure 7 Time Settings
zTime Zone Select
Select the time zone from the dropdown list.
zTime Server
Select the time server from the “NTP Server” dropdown list or manually input the IP address of
available time server into “Manual IP”.
Hit “Apply” to save settings.

RADIUS Settings
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a server for remote user authentication and
accounting; playing a central role in the network in providing the capabilities of authenticating,
authorizing, accounting, auditing, alarming and etc. It allows an organization to maintain user profiles
in a central database that all remote servers can share.
Open “RADIUS Settings” in “System” to make RADIUS configuration.
Figure 8 RADIUS Settings
Authentication RADIUS Server
This is for RADIUS authentication. It can communicate with RADIUS through IPAddress, Port and
Shared Secret.
IP Address: Enter the IP address of the Radius Server;
Port: Enter the port number of the Radius Server;
Shared Secret: This secret, which is composed of no more than 31 characters, is shared by the
KWA-O6020-I and RADIUS during authentication.
Re-authentication Time: Set the time interval between two authentications.
Global-Key Update: Check this option and specify the time interval between two global-key updates.

Basic Wireless Settings
Open “Basic Settings” in “Wireless” as below to make basic wireless configuration.
Figure 9 Basic Wireless Settings
Disable Wireless LAN Interface
Check this option to disable WLAN interface, then the wireless module of KWA-O6020-I will stop
working and no wireless device can connect to it.
Wireless Mode
Four operating modes are available on KWA-O6020-I.
Wireless Client: The KWA-O6020-I is able to connect to the AP and thus join the wireless network
around it.
AP: The KWA-O6020-I establishes a wireless coverage and receives connectivity from other wireless
devices.
Bridge: The KWA-O6020-I establishes wireless connectivity with other APs.
AP Repeater: The KWA-O6020-I servers asAP and Bridge at the same time. In other words, the
KWA-O6020-I can provide connectivity services for CPE’s under WDS mode.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network. Keep it
identical on all those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and can not exceed 32 characters.

Broadcast SSID
Under AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may
have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA can not scan and find KWA-O6020-I, so that
malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided.
802.11 Mode
KWA-O6020-I can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11a or 802.11a/n. You can also select
Auto and make it work under an appropriate wireless mode automatically.
HT Protect
Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under
802.11n mode, wireless client can be divided into HT STAand Non-HT STA, among which the one with
HT protect enabled gets higher throughput.
Channel Number
Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper operating
channel in the drop-down list according to your situation.
Antenna
By default, KWA-O6020-I uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you prefer to
use an external antenna for your case-dependent applications, you can switch from “ Internal ”
to ”External (RP SMA-Type)”.
!!!Note
zYou are able to choose “External (RP SMA-Type)” only when you have well done installing the
external antenna; otherwise, it might hurt KWA-O6020-I itself.
Output Power
Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the signal can cover,
but the power consumption will be greater accordingly. Usually “Full” is preferred.
Data Rate
Usually “Auto” is preferred. Under this rate, KWA-O6020-I will automatically select the highest
available rate to transmit. In some cases, however, like where there is no great demand for speed, you
can have a relatively-low transmit rate for compromise of a long distance.
