It shall be up to 32 characters length.
BSSID - BSSID corresponds to the MAC Address of the peer you want to connect to.
Using 00:00:00:00:00:00 as BSSID will make the device connect to any peer based on
proper ESSID only.
Wireless Operational Mode - Wireless LAN Operational mode for the device.
Available modes are Master and Slave.
Carrier Sense - Choose either 802.11a compliant CSMA collision protocol or disable
carrier sense at all. Disabling carrier sense may greatly improve device performance in
environment with noise from non 802.11a compliant devices.
Operating Frequency - Depending on configured Regulatory Domain you can
manually select frequency the Master device is operating on, or it is selected
automatically using DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection).
WLAN Speed - Choose Fixed Data Rate the device will use while connecting to the
other peer.
Available Data Rates are:
6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps for regular 802.11a mode (20 MHz channel width),
12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 108 Mbps in 802.11a Turbo mode (40 MHz channel width),
3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 27 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 10 MHz channel width,
1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12 and 13.5 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 5 MHz channel width.
Supported Data Rates - Enable or Disable WLAN Data Rates the Lohuis device
should support when communicating with other devices.
IP Operational Mode
Bridge - Bridge works at OSI model Layer 2. This means it does not know anything
about protocols, but just forwards data depending on the destination address in the
data packet. This address is not the IP address, but the MAC (Media Access Control)
address that is unique to each network adapter card. With a Bridge, all your
computers are in the same network subnet, so you don't have to worry about not
being able to communicate between computers or share an Internet connection. The
only data that is allowed to cross the bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address
on the other side of the bridge.
Router - Router is an OSI model Layer 3 device, and forwards data depending on the
network address, not the hardware (MAC) address. For TCP/IP networks this means the
IP address of the network interface. Routers isolate each LAN into a separate subnet.
Routers provide bandwidth control by keeping data out of subnets where it doesn't
belong, however routes need to be set up before they can get going.

the configured IP address, each with 1 minute interval. If there is no single ICMP Echo
Reply to any of these requests then the device will reboot itself.

Add Route:
Direct – on wired or wireless interface - When router has two or more IP subnets
directly attached to its different interfaces, it can route IP packets between those
subnets using a direct route. A direct route consists of an IP Address which specifies the
basic IP address to route, a Subnet Mask which defines the class of IP addresses that will
be routed, and an interface which specifies where the IP subnet is attached. When an
IP packet addressed to a system on the directly routed subnet arrives at the router, the

router will send it directly to the target machine on the interface specified. When
entering direct route use 0.0.0.0 as Gateway.
Indirect - When router needs to send IP packets between IP subnets which are not
directly connected to one of its interfaces, it must have an indirect route for sending
those packets. An indirect route consists of an IP Address which specifies the basic IP
address to route, a Subnet Mask which defines the class of IP addresses that will be
routed and a Gateway that will relay the IP packet. When an IP packet addressed to
a system on the indirectly routed subnet arrives at the router, the router will route it
over to the specified Gatway to be routed further.

The device will accept firmware, reflash and reboot automatically.
Emergency firmwares restore procedure.
Should the Lohuis device fail or loose power during firmware upgrade the built-in
bootloader allows easy firmware restore.
This is the step by step procedure required to perform:
1. You need to obtain tftp server software, the free one is available
at http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
2. Install tftpd32.exe into the catalog where firmware files are located
3. Rename the firmware file into upgrade.bin
4. Change your computer IP address to 192.168.1.23 netmask 255.255.255.0
