1. Features
The DeskPoint Pro is designed for use in hotel rooms and combines 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11b wireless technology to provide the best wireless performance, enabling client
computers to access the resources on the hotel Ethernet network. With the Web-based user
interface or SNMP a network administrator can easily and clearly manage the DeskPoint Pro.
)
Desktop or Under Desk
Desktop -The TA-6960 and TA-7950 are on desk models. The TA-6950 incorporates a
retractable spool whereas the TA-7950 has a RJ45 socket.
Under Desk -The TA-8050 is designed to fit unobtrusively under the a desk in the
guest room and can be used in conjunction with other TeleAdapt cable management
products.)
)
IEEE 802.11n
RF type selection - The RF type of the wireless interface can be configured to work in
IEEE 802.11n only , IEEE 802.11b only, IEEE 802.11g only, or mixed mode (802.11n,
802.11g and 802.11b simultaneously).
64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) -For authentication and data
encryption.
Enabling/Disabling SSID broadcasts -The administrator can enable or disable the
SSID broadcasts functionality for security reasons. The correct SSID has to be
specified on client computers.
IEEE 802.1x/RADIUS - The DeskPoint Pro can be configured to authenticate wireless
users and distribute encryption keys dynamically by IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Network
Access Control and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service).

!"#"$%&'()*"+,-./0()-1.)2+"1)3&04&#) ) 5"1+/.0)6787966)
)
M)
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) -The DeskPoint Pro supports the WPA standard
proposed by the Wi-Fi Alliance (HQ(('PRRSSS8S/TU/8.1VH). Both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared
Key) mode and full WPA mode are supported. WPA is composed of TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) and IEEE 802.1x and serves as a successor to WEP for better WLAN
security.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) -This advanced protocol implements the mandatory
elements of 802.11i. WPA2 is an improvement on the WPA-PSK standard, and is simply
using a shared password for access to your network. Only users with this password can
access your network.
Client isolation -Wireless-to-wireless traffic can be blocked so that the wireless clients
cannot see each other. This function also blocks wired clients from accessing Wireless
clients.
Transmit power control -Transmit power of the DeskPoint Pro’s RF module can be
adjusted to change RF coverage.
Associated wireless clients status -The DeskPoint Pro can show the status of all
wireless clients that are associated with it.
HDHCP Client -The DeskPoint Pro can automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server.
HPacket Filtering.HThe DeskPoint Pro provides Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 filtering
capabilities.
Firmware Tools
Firmware upgrade -The firmware can be upgraded by HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol).

!"#"$%&'()*"+,-./0()-1.)2+"1)3&04&#) ) 5"1+/.0)6787966)
)
?)
Configuration backup -The configuration settings can be backed up to a file via
HTTP for later restoring.
Configuration reset -Resetting the configuration settings to factory-default values.
Management
Web-based Network Manager for configuring and monitoring the DeskPoint Pro
via a Web browser (Internet Explorer,Firefox or Google Chrome). The management
protocol is HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)-based.
SNMP -SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II, IEEE 802.1d,
IEEE 802.1x, and Private Enterprise MIB are supported.
System log - For system operational status monitoring.
-Local log - System events are logged to the on-board RAM of the DeskPoint
Pro and can be viewed using a Web browser.
-Remote log by SNMP trap -Systems events are sent in the form of SNMP
traps to a remote SNMP management server.
Power Charging
USB Charging 5V for charging mobile devices
LED Definitions
TA-6950 and TA-7950 -At the front of the device, there are 3 LED indicators. See
Figure 1 below for description of each LED indication.
TA-8050 -On top of the device, there are LED indicators. See Figure 2 below for
description of each LED indication.

Connections
The TA-6950 and TA-7950 also provide a wired Guest LAN interface just above the
indicator LEDs. For the TA-6950 this is a retractable spool, for the TA-7950 this is an RJ45
socket. Both models also provide a USB socket that can provide up to 5V/1A for charging
mobile devices. See Figure 3 to the left.
TA-8050 provides an RJ45 jack to be used for offering a wired access point for the guest.
Pair a TeleAdapt Pull-Through Pro or other Internet AP product for best presentation to the
guest. See Figure 4 to the left.
Hardware Reset
The reset button can be found on the bottom of the unit. To perform a factory reset press and hold the
reset button until the LAN LED flashes. When the LAN LED flashes release the reset button and quickly
press and hold the reset button a second time (for at least 10 seconds) until the LAN LED flashes
again.

2. Installing and Configuring DeskPoint Pro
This section offers information about installing your DeskPoint Pro. Before configuring the DeskPoint
Pro, you need to know the connection information supplied by your service provider and the field
application environment.
)
Preparing for Configuration
To c o n f i g u r e the DeskPoint Pro, a computer with a web browser is needed. For the first-time or
maintenance configuration of the DeskPoint Pro, an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) should have
been installed in the managing computer.
Since the configuration/management protocol is HTTP-based, you have to make sure that the IP
address of the managing computer and the IP address of the managed DeskPoint Pro are in the same
IP subnet (the default IP address of the DeskPoint Pro is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.)
)
Connecting the Managing Computer
Using Ethernet Cable to connect the managing computer and the Wireless 11n Access Point as
following figure shows. One end of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the Hotel LAN Ethernet
jack of the DeskPoint Pro for configuration.
)
Changing the TCP/IP Settings of the Managing Computer
Use the Windows Network Control Panel Applet to change the TCP/IP settings of the managing
computer, so that the IP address of the computer and the IP address of the DeskPoint Pro are in the
same IP subnet. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.xxx (the default IP address of the
DeskPoint Pro is 192.168.0.1) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

(TCP/IP) Properties in Microsoft Windows
Note: For some versions of Windows, the
computer needs to be restarted for the
changes of TCP/IP settings to take effect.

Firmware Tools
Firmware management operations for the DeskPoint Pro include firmware upgrade, configuration
backup(Load Settings), configuration restore (Save Settings), and configuration reset (Load Factory
Default). Firmware upgrade, configuration backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP
or TFTP. Due to different behavior of different Web browser types and versions, HTTP-based firmware
management operations may not work properly with some Web browsers.
)
When using TFTP as the firmware management protocol, you can configure settings the DeskPoint Pro’s
TFTP client to communicate with a TFTP server. Ensure that the TFTP Server IP uses the same subnet to
prevent errorsarising.
)
Screen capture to the left is the TFTP Server in Windows XP, the TftpSrvr.Please note:
)
After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the
working folder within which the downloaded firmware files reside.
Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.
The LAN IP address of the DeskPoint Pro and the IP address of the TFTP server must
be in the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.
After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser
cache, so that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.
A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the DeskPoint Pro
inaccessible.)

The setting specifies how long the idle time during which the WEB administrator connection is

Notes: HTTPS (Hyper text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) is a URI scheme used to indicate
a secure communication such as payment transactions and corporate information systems.
HTTPS is not a separate protocol, but refers to the combination of a normal HTTP interaction
over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection.
This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers but is weak with man-in-the-middle
attacks.
