Glossary
Following terms are frequently used in this manual.
Term
Definition
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server
to automatically assign an IP address to concern devices.
Static
A static address (static IP address) is a permanent number assigned to the device.
PPPoE
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, a network protocol for
encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames.
WLAN
WLAN i.e. Wireless Local Area Network, a wireless network that can transfer data at high
speeds.
LAN
Local Area Network, a network of connected devices that exist within a specific location.
WAN
Wide Area Network, WAN is an IP-based network that connects two or more business
locations.
VLAN
A VLAN i.e. Virtual Local Area Network allows several networks to work virtually.
SSID
An SSID i.e. Service Set Identifiers a unique ID that consists of 32 characters and is used
for naming wireless networks.
WPA2
WPA2 (Encryption Method) - Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key, is a method of
securing your network using Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for authentication.
WPA-Mixed
With WPA mixed (Encryption Method) mode network, one can connect with both WPA
(TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) clients.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as part of the
IEEE 802.11i standard for wireless LANs (WLANs). It was designed to provide more secure
encryption than the notoriously weak Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the original WLAN
security protocol.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is an encryption protocol which is much more secure
as it uses longer encryption keys.
Wireless 2.4 GHz
2.4GHz band provides great distance coverage, however transmits data at slower speeds.
Wireless 5 GHz
The 5 GHz band provides less coverage, however transmits data at faster speeds.

Configuring AP
Procedure to start Quick setup
1. AP default SSID - Name QN_XX:XX (where XX:XX= last four digits of AP MAC ID).
2. Connect QN_XX:XX SSID and enter AP default IP 169.254.1.1 in browser. Due to certificate based
secure connection, below screen appears.
Figure 1
3. Click on Advance. Below screen will appear.

Description: Difference between Bridge AP and Gateway AP.
Bridge Access Point: In this mode, device connects to a wired or wireless router via an Ethernet
cable and extends the wireless coverage of your existing network.
Gateway AP: In this mode, device connects to the internet directly and shares internet access to
multiple wired and wireless devices. NAT and DHCP server are enabled by default.
