benefits :
Flexible wireless backbone deployment options
Multiple radio interfaces were integrated by IO-Power’s core data switching technology inside the
APM-100R(H) series. Each radio interface can be configured independently to meet different wireless
connectivity purposes. With the fast data switching between multiple radio interfaces, the backbone
throughput will remain in a high level even after several relays between APs.
High-performance wireless backbone
With the next generation 802.11N MIMO technology, the APM-100R(H) offer data link rate up to
300Mbps in each single radio interface. Short Guard Interval and Frames Aggregation methodology
configurations improve the efficient of backbone usage.
Secure and efficient client connectivity
The nimble QoS (Quality of Service) configuration provides flexible management of user’s access
bandwidth of wireless connectivity. Perfect integrated with central RADIUS server and data encryption
technique, the APM-100R(H) series provide a secure wireless connectivity for each client device.

System Setup > Network Setup
IP Setup
IP Assignment System allows you to assign the device IP address dynamically from existing DHCP
server or set a static IP address manually.
IP Address Once Static IP was selected, the IP Address field will allow you to set the bridge device IP
address manually. This IP address of the bridge is used as the base for all of your local network
settings.
Subnet Mask This is the subnet mask address for your bridge device. Set the IP subnet mask
manually.
Default Gateway Set the default gateway IP address manually.
DNS 1 & 2 The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names
into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If
you wish to use another, enter that IP Address in DNS 2 field.
Spanning Tree Protocol
STP The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any
bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and ensuing
broadcast radiation. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links to
provide automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of bridge loops, or the need
for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links.

Ethernet Link Speed
Link The link speed of Ethernet port can be changed manually into 10/100 Half/Full duplex.
DHCP Server Setting
The APM-100R(H) series can be configured as a DHCP server for a LAN network. Once the DHCP
Server is chose as on, the DHCP server setting elements will spread out on the page.
DHCP Server Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP server function in system.
IP Start / End The IP Start and End Address specify the range of addresses assigned by your device
when it functions as a DHCP server.
Primary & Secondary DNS Set the primary and secondary DNS server IP address which DHCP server
is going to assign for DHCP client devices.
Default Gateway Default gateways IP address assign for DHCP client devices.
Management VLAN
Management VLAN Management VLAN is a secure VLAN which divides Internet users from device IP
access. Administrators can management network devices under the Management LAN network
without betrayal of secrets.

Antenna Number APM-100R(H) series complete 802.11n 1x1 1-steram and 2x2 2-stream for antenna
attached. The maximum data link rate at 1-steram and 2-stream will be 130Mbps and 300Mbps.
Short Guard Interval The guard interval is the space between symbols (characters) being transmitted.
Adding time between symbol transmissions allows these echoes and reflections to settle in before the
next symbol is transmitted. In normal 802.11 operations, the guard interval is 800 ns. A short guard
interval will short the time between symbol transmissions into 400 ns to enhance the efficiency of data
transmission.
Aggregation Frame aggregation is a feature of the 802.11n wireless LAN standards that increases
throughput by sending two or more data frames in a single transmission.
Distance To assign a distance between nodes in a point to point transmission will improve the success
rate of data transmit.
Wireless > WLAN Setup
Each physical radio interface supports up to 16 virtual WLAN AP setting. User can add or delete a
virtual AP by click the “+” or “-” button on top of the very right side of setting block.
SSID A service set identifier (SSID) is a name that identifies a particular 802.11 wireless LAN. A client
device receives beacon messages from all access points within range advertising their SSIDs. The
client device can then either manually or automatically select the network with which to associate.
Broadcast Network administrator can choose broadcast beacon messages of a virtual AP by checking
the broadcast block.

Enable Network administrator can also decide functioning of virtual AP or let it idle.
WLAN Mode Radios support “Access Point”, “Wireless Station”, “Access Point (WDS Support)” and
“Wireless Station (WDS Support)” mode to meet various network scenarios.
RTS “Request to send” is the optional mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocols
to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden node problem. Set the packet size to trigger
RTS/CTS enable. This is normally set in AC side only because the hidden station problem does not
exit from the perspective of the AP. RTS Threshold can be set between 1 and 2312 bytes.
Fragmentation Set the packet size to activate fragmentation. Fragmentation threshold can be set
between 1 and 2312 bytes.
Note: Fragmentation setting will be automatically disabled, once the frame aggregation is enabled.
Limited Data Rate Limit the wireless data link rate to enhance the stability of data transmission.
VLAN ID In order to create a wireless VLAN environment, each virtual AP can conform to an 802.1q
VLAN tag ID.
VLAN Priority Each VLAN ID can be gave a priority number (from 0 to 7) for data process priority.
Client Numbers Limit the maximum number of associate client devices.
Client Isolation Client isolation will protect the privacy of each connecting client from searching in a
wireless LAN.

SSID User can choose a specific virtual AP to assign a security type of wireless link.
MAC Filter MAC filter provides allow or deny MAC table for administrator to access control of AP by
insert a MAC address of client device. When running allow mode, only the MAC address which
showing on the table will be accept for wireless connectivity. When running deny mode, MAC address
which showing on the table will be blocked from wireless connectivity. The table can be configured 32
MAC address at most of each virtual AP interface.

WPA+WPA2-PSK APM-100R(H) series support WPA+WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal) in security.
WPA+WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared key) mode is designed for home and small office networks and doesn't
require an authentication server. Each wireless network device authenticates with the access point
using the same 256-bit key.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol: A 128-bit
per-packet key is used, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. Used by
WPA.
CCMP An AES-based encryption mechanism that is stronger than TKIP. Sometimes referred to as
AES instead of CCMP. Used by WPA2.
Both TKIP and CCMP encryption are available for WPA+WPA2-PSK. Pre-shared key of 8 to 63
characters are required. Group Rekey Interval can be set up to 65536 seconds.
