Har ware Installation for Connection to Your local network
1. Power off your network devices.
2. Locate an optimum location for the AP. The best place for the AP is usually at the center of your wireless network,
with line of si ht to all of your wireless devices.
3. Adjust the antennas. Normally, the hi her location of your AP will et better the performance.
4. Usin a standard Ethernet network cable, connect the AP’s Internet port to your broadband modem.
5. Connect your network PCs or Ethernet devices to the AP’s LAN ports usin standard Ethernet network cablin .
6. Connect the AC power adapter to the AP's Power port. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. Only use
the power adapter supplied with the AP. Use of a different adapter may cause product dama e.
7. The Hardware installation is completed, please refer to the followin content for AP confi uration.

4. How to Configuring the Dual Ban AP
START UP & LOGIN
In order to confi ure the Wireless 11a AP, you must use web browser and manually input http://192.168.1.250 into the
Address box and press Enter. The Main Pa e will appear.
In order to confi ure the Wireless 11a AP, you must input the password into the Passwor box and leave blank on the
User Name box. The default password is “a min”.
Once you have lo ed-in as administrator, it is a ood idea to chan e the administrator password to ensure a secure
protection to the Wireless 11a AP. The Security Settin s section described later in this manual describes how to chan e
the password.
Once you have input the correct password and lo ed-in, the screen will chan e to the Setup pa e screen.
TURN ON POWER SUPPLY
Quick power cycle would caused system corruption. When power on, be careful not to shut down in about 5 seconds,
because data is writin to the flash.

4.5 Wireless – Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settin s confi ure the security of your wireless network. There are three wireless security mode
options supported by the AP: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS.
Wireless Security
The security options are the same and independent for your Wireless-A and Wireless-G networks. You can use different
wireless security methods for your networks; however, within each network (Wireless-A or Wireless-G), all devices must
use the same security method and settin s.
Security Mo e:
WEP: WEP is a basic encryption method, select a level of WEP encryption, 40/64-bit or 128-bit. If you want to use a
Passphrase, then enter it in the Passphrase field and click the Generate button. If you want to enter the WEP key
manually, then enter it in the WEP Key 1-4 field(s). To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate TX
Key number.
WPA only:
WPA Pre-Share Key: This security mode offers two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption
keys. Select the type of encryption method you want to use, TKIP or AES. Enter the Passphrase, which can have 8 to
63 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should chan e the encryption
keys.
WPA RADIUS: This security mode must work with a RADIUS server usin EAP –TLS or PEAP for user
authentication.
To use WPA RADIUS, select the type of encryption method you want to use, TKIP or AES.
Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address and port number (default is 1812), alon with the authentication shared key by
the AP and the server.
Enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should chan e the encryption keys.

4.6 Wireless – A vance Wireless Settings
This section provides AP’s advanced wireless settin s. These settin s should be adjusted carefully. Any improper
settin s will affect the AP’s wireless performance.
A vance Wireless
Wireless-A Settings
Authentication Type:
Open System: This is default settin , those wireless clients that NOT use a WEP key for authentication.
Share Key: This option means the wireless clients use a WEP key for authentication. Shared Key is only available
if the WEP option is implemented.
Transmission Rate: The data transmission rate should be set dependin on the speed of your wireless network. You
can select a proper transmission speeds to fit your wireless clients requirement, or you can select Auto (Default) to
have the AP automatically adjust one the fastest and suitable data rate to fit network status at the time. Usually this
function can be named Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will treat one best connection rate between the AP and a
wireless client. The default value is Auto (Default).
Transmission Power: This option provides the AP’s RFoutput power adjustment. To minimize the possibility of
eavesdroppin by unauthorized wireless users, su est to decrease the transmission power with a needed by your
wireless environment. By drop down menu, you can select the appropriate level, Full (Default), Half, Quarter,
Eighth, or Min. The default is Full (Default).
Antenna Select: This option provides antenna settin for which one you would like to set as TX/RX antenna. Usin
Diversity settin is proposed.
ACK Timeout: The Acknowled ement Timeout means from remote to local data transmission, one parameter to
control both acknowled in action to uaranty those packets have already be received. Usually, for short distance,
keep default settin is proposed. If there is lon distance application, have minor increased with this parameter will be
proposed.
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20
and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Messa e (DTIM). A DTIM field is a
countdown field informin clients of the next window for listenin to broadcast and multicast messa es. When the AP
has buffered broadcast or multicast messa es for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval
value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messa es.
The default value is 1.
Fragmentation Threshol : This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fra mented into
multiple packets. If you experience a hi h packet error rate, you may sli htly increase the Fra mentation
Threshold. Settin the Fra mentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
Beacon interval: The data transmitted on your wireless network that keeps the network synchronized.
DTIM: message included in data packets that can increase wireless efficiency.
Fragmentation: Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network medium that cannot support
the original size of the packet.
RTS Threshol : Usin this settin can re ulate your wireless network if you experience any inconsistent data flow
situation, only by minor adjustment of the default value, the default value 2346 is recommended. The RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled if your wireless network packet less than RTS threshold value. The AP sends Request
to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receivin station and ne otiates the sendin of a data frame. After receivin an
RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowled e the ri ht to be in transmission.
The RTS Threshold value should keep at its default value of 2346.

Short Preamble: This settin is for 11b clients, usually set short value will enhance your WLAN performance for 11b
client, however the 11b clients must have same feature as well.
Allow 2.4GHz 54Mbps Station Only: In order to keep hi h performance for this WLAN, set this option Enable will
only allow stations with 54Mbps data rate to associate this AP.
RTS/CTS Protection Mo e: CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode should be set to Auto (Default). The AP will
automatically use CTS Protection Mode when the Wireless-G products are experiencin severe problems and are not
able to transmit to the AP in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the AP’s ability to catch
all Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease the performance. If you do not want to use CTS Protection
Mode at all, select Disable .
RTS/CTS Protection Rate: This settin is set the rate of RTS/CTS while protection mode is enabled.
RTS/CTS Protection Type: This protection mode provides 2 types, one is RTS/CTS and other is CTS only.
Generally, usin CTS only is able to fulfill most of environment.
