Document Abstract
An Access Point is a device that creates a wireless local area network. Access Points are extensively
used for associating users with the central network.
In this document, we showcase the quick setup procedure of QN-I-200, QN-I-220 and AN-O-230
Access Points. This procedure helps to correctly configure Access Point to the Quantum Networks
Cloud. The document also explains the terms and parameters require to on board Access Point to
the Cloud.

Glossary
Following terms are frequently used in this manual.

Description
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 is a fix IP address 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
WAN
Wide Area Network
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 coverage, however transmits data at slower speeds.
Wireless 5 GHz
The 5 GHz band provides less coverage, however transmits data at faster
speeds.

Configuration
1. Provide internet access to WAN port of the Access Point.
2. Access point default SSID QN_XX: XX will broadcast. (Where XX: XX are last four digits of
Access Point MAC Address).
3. Connect QN_XX: XX SSID and browse access point default IP 169.254.1.1. Below screen
appears.
Figure 1
4. There are two options. “Device Info” and “Start Configuration”

Device Info
4.1 Click on Device Info- to get information about device MAC, Serial Number and Firmware
Version.
Figure 2
oClick on Change Firmware to update firmware if required.
Figure 3
oClick on Change Firmware, select the firmware file from respective location and update.

Start Configuration
4.2 Click on “Start Configuration” for quick setup (Figure1).
5. Do IPv4 setup (WAN) by selecting required option DHCP, Static or PPPoE and proceed for
Next.

Management Mode screen will appear (Figure5). Select cloud control mode. Enter Cloud
controller account credentials (If yet you have not created account on QN cloud, please
refer Step 8). Click on Next.
Note: Quantum Networks Access Point can be configured in two modes.
Standalone Mode (Independent management of each Access point)
Cloud Controller mode (Centralized management of Access Points using Quantum Network
cloud)

Operation mode
6. User can select AP operation mode as Bridge or Router.
Figure 6
Description: Difference between Bridge Access Point and Gateway Access Point.
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 Access Point: 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.
