Applications
• Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where
wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden
from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or
areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN
impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be
a network solution.
• Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks
• The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses,
• Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users
require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
• Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks:
• Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or
students at universities u se wireless connectivity t o exchange

• Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or
aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the SWE 2520. Locate your wireless devices
carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or
open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete,
water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can
also diminish wireless signal strength.
• Interference from your other electrical devices and/or
appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the SWE
2520’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are
microwaves
or cordless phones.
Before You Begin
Considerations for Wireless Inst allati on
• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the SWE 2520
and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling
can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal
strength.
This
section w ill guide you through the installation process.

Access Point’s
performance. A void placingthe SWE 2520 in an e nclosed
space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
The opera ting distance of all wireless devices can o fte n n ot be
pre-determined due to a n umber of unknown obstacles in the

web-based configuration interface.
Default Settings
Please use your Ethernet port or wireless network adapter to
connect the Access Point.

The SWE 2520 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the SWE 2520.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the SWE 2520 behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The
stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the SWE 2520. The
SWE 2520 supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access.
14

WDS AP Mode
The SWE 2520 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the SWE 2520 using WDS technology. In
this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to
four (4) AP MAC addresses.
15

WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWE 2520 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each SWE
2520 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to
use the SWE 2520 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following fi gu r e . WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links,
creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point because Access Points linked by WDS use the same frequency channel. More
Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can also be susceptible to generate endless network loops
in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree feature to prevent this from happening. You can find information
about the Spanning Tree Function on page 29 .

Overview
The Overview section contains the following options:
• Device Status
• Connections
The following sections describe these options:
Device Status
Clicking the Device Status link under the Overview menu shows the
status information about the current operating mode.
Note: VLAN ID is only applicable in Access Point or WDS AP mode.
•The LAN Information section under the Connections link shows
the Local Area Network settings such as the LAN IP Address,
Subnet mask, Gateway, DNS Address, DHCP Client, and STP status.
•The Current 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wireless Settings section
under the Basic link under the Network menu shows wireless
information such as Operation Modes, Frequency, and Channel.
Since the SWE 2520 supports multiple-SSIDs, information about
each SSID and security settings are displayed.
Note: Profile Settings is only applicable in Access Point or WDS
AP mode.
•The Device Status section shows general system information such
as Device Name,
MAC address, Current Time, Firmware Version, and
Management VLAN ID.
17

Connections
The SWE 2520 automatically logs (records) events of possible
interest in its internal memory. To view the logged
information, click the Connections link under the Device Status
menu. If there is not enough internal memory to log all events,
older events are deleted from the log. When powered down or
rebooted, the log will be cleared.
Click Refresh to refresh the Connections List page.
