5. Basic Settings
Area: Select your current area.
Primary SSID: Service Set Identifier, a unique name that identifies a particular
wireless network. It is a required field that can be modified.
Secondary SSID: The secondary Service Set Identifier. It is an optional field that
can be modified.
Whether Enable: Tick to enable wireless connection. Un-tick if you want to disable
the wireless connection functions.
Whether Broadcasting: The function is enabled by default. Select Turn Off to
disallow the Smart Host to broadcast SSID. In this way, the wireless clients must
know the Smart Host’s SSID in order to connect to the Smart Host.
User Isolation with the same SSID: Enable this function to strengthen wireless
network security. To apply communication isolation between all the wireless clients
on the AP, please enable this function for the clients of the same or different SSIDs.
User Isolation with the same SSID: If enabled, the wireless clients of the same
SSID cannot connect to each other.
For example, if you set the primary and secondary SSID as AP1 and AP2
respectively and enable the user isolation function, with PC1 and PC2 being on the
same network segment and connecting to AP1 via wireless network card, PC1 and
PC2 cannot connect to each other. However, they can connect to the wireless clients
on AP2. This function is for the isolation between the wireless clients of the same
SSID.
User Isolation between different SSIDs: If enabled, the wireless clients of primary
SSID cannot connect to the clients of secondary SSID.
For example, if you set the primary and secondary SSID as AP1 and AP2

www.cap-homey.com
11
respectively and enable the user isolation function, with PC1 connecting to AP1 via
wireless network card and PC2 connecting to AP2, PC1 and PC2 cannot connect to
each other. This function is for the isolation between the wireless clients of different
SSIDs.
802.11 Mode: Select a mode according to the type of wireless client.
Turn Off: Disable all of the wireless connection functions.
11b Mode: Select this mode if there is only 11b mode client existing in your wireless
network.
11g Mode: Select this mode if there is only 11g mode client existing in your wireless
network.
11b/g/n Mixed Mode: Select this mode if there are 11b, 11g and 11n clients existing
in your wireless network.
Channel: The channel used by the Smart Host. User the drop-down list to select
other valid channel ranging from 1 to 13.
Channel Bandwidth: Set up the bandwidth to improve wireless performance. When
there are 11b/g and 11n clients in the wireless network, select 802.11n mode (wide)
with 40M bandwidth; when there is only 11n client absent in the wireless network,
select 20M bandwidth. If the wireless network is in 11n mode, select 20/40M
bandwidth to facilitate the transmission.
Channel Extended: Set up the operation frequency of the wireless network
under 11n mode.
Wireless Connection Security
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) provides higher security than
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
Encryption Mode: Select a correspondent encryption mode for the SSID. Here you
select WPA2-PSK.
PSK: Type a string of 8 to 63 characters inASCII format or 64 hexadecimal

12
characters for data encryption.
WPA Encryption Type: Select AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) or TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) mode.

7 Appendix 2 FAQ
This section lists some common questions of Smart Host operation and correspondent
solutions. If you cannot find feasible solutions for the problems you encounter, please visit
our Website http://www.hioth.com/. We will provide assistance as soon as possible.
1. Why can’t I access the Smart Host main page after entering the IP address on a
browser?
1) Please check if your Smart Host is properly operated. The PWR LED should
show constant green after the Smart Host is turned on. If not, the Smart Host
might be broken. Please contact us for repair.
2) Please check if the Smart Host is successfully connected to the Internet and if
the correspondent LED is on. Under certain situation, the network connection
may fail even if the LED is on.
3) Please Ping the IP address 192.168.0.1 of the Smart Host in the LAN. If you can
access the IP address, check if your browser is connecting to the Internet
through a proxy server. If yes, please disable the function. If you fail to access
the IP address, please press and hold the RESET button to restore the Smart
Host to factory default settings, and then ping the IP address 192.168.0.1 again.
If the above solutions could not work, please contact us for further support.
2. What should I do if I forget the logging password for accessing the main page of
Smart Host?
Please restore the Smart Host to factory default settings by pressing and holding the
RESET button for at least 25 seconds. After you release the button, the system will
automatically restart and restore its default settings.
3. What should I do if the PC connected with the Smart Host encounters IP
address conflict after start-up?
Please turn off other DHCP servers in the LAN if any. The default IP address of Smart
Host is 192.168.0.1. Please make sure the IP address is not used by other PCs or
devices in the LAN. Change the IP address of other devices that use the same IP with
the Smart Host. If there are two PCs using a same IP address, change the IP address
for one of them.
4. How to connect the Smart Host to the Internet with a dynamic IP address?
To enable the connection, on the main page of Smart Host, find Quick Configuration,
select Dynamic IP Connection and click Save. Some ISPs would register the MAC
address of client’s network card. In this case, you need to set the MAC address of the
Smart Host in the WAN as the registered MAC address.
5. How to allow the users on the Internet to access my PC through the Smart

15
Host?
To allow the users on the Internet to access the servers in your LAN, including mail
server, WEB and FTP, you have to establish a Virtual Server. Follow the steps to
configure the Smart Host.
1) Establish a server in your LAN and make sure it can be accessed by other users
in the LAN. Meanwhile, you need to know the port numbers of the servers, such
as Port 80 for WEB server, Port 25 for SMTP and Port 110 for POPS mail server.
2) On the main page of Smart Host, select Port Forwarding.
3) Type the service ports in the LAN and WAN, such as 80 for the Start Port and the
End Port.
4) Type the IP address of the server in the LAN. If the IP address of your WEB
server is 192.168.0.1, type 192.168.0.1.
5) Confirm the protocols used by the servers, such as TCP, UDP or ICMP. If you are
not sure about the protocol, select Both.
6) Click Enable to save and activate the settings.
