Chapter 1 Introduction
Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium
business. They can either work independently as standalone APs or be centrally
managed by the EAP Controller software, providing a flexible, richly-functional but
easily-configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.
“Celling lamp” appearance and easily mounting design with chassis make EAP easy to
be installed on a wall or ceiling and blend in with most interior decorations.

Chapter 2 Network Topology
A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below.
Figure 2-1 Typical Topology
To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses
to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running
the EAP Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs.

The EAP can be managed by the EAP Controller software, which is a management
software specially designed for the TP-Link EAP devices on a local wireless network,
allowing you to centrally configure and monitor mass EAP devices using a web browser
on your PC. For more information about the EAP Controller, please find the EAP
Controller User Guide from our official website:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/

Chapter 3 Management Mode
Auranet series products can either work under the control of the EAP Controller software
or work independently as a standalone access point.
When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single
AP in the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you
can centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.
The Standalone mode applies to a relatively small-sized wireless network. EAPs in the
Standalone mode cannot be managed centrally by the EAP Controller software.
3.1 Standalone Mode
By default, the EAP works independently as a standalone access point. By entering the
IP address of the standalone EAP, you can log in to its web interface and perform
configurations.
The factory default IP address configuration of the EAP is DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). Before you access the web interface of the EAP, please make
sure the DHCP server works properly. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server.
Follow the steps below to log in to the web interface of a standalone EAP.
1. Launch a web browser, enter the DHCP address in the address field and press the
Enter key.
2. Enter admin (all lowercase) for both username and password.
3.2 Managed Mode
The EAP will become a managed AP once it is adopted via the EAP Controller software.
Users can manage the AP via a web browser. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide
from our website at www.tp-link.com to know more about EAP Controller software.
3.3 Switch to Standalone Mode
The web interface of a specific EAP is not available once this EAP is adopted by the EAP
Controller. You can
Forget the EAP via the EAP Controller to turn it back as a standalone
AP. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide from our website at www.tp-link.com to learn
more.
TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapters for information on using the EAP in standalone mode.

Chapter 4 Network
On
Network
page you can configure the IP address of the standalone EAP.
Figure 4-1 Network Page
Dynamic/Static: By default, the EAP device obtains an IP address from a DHCP server
(typically a router). Select Static to configure IP address manually.
Fallback IP: If the EAP fails to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server within
ten seconds, the fallback IP will work as the IP address of the device.
After that, however, the device will keep trying to obtain an IP address
from the DHCP server until it succeeds.

2.4GHz
Wireless Radio:
Check the box to enable 2.4GHz Wireless Radio.
Wireless Mode: Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.
For 2.4GHz network, we recommend that select 802.11b/g/n, in which
way clients supporting
any one of these modes can access your
wireless network.
For 5GHz network, we recommend that select 802.11a/n or
802.11a/n/ac, in which way clients supporting any one of these modes
can access your wireless network.
Channel Width: Select the channel width of this device.
According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can
increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower
bandwidth due to the following reasons:
1. To increase the available number of channels within the limited total
bandwidth.
2. To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
devices in the environment.
3.
Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power,
increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.
TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapter for information on configuring the wireless network of
the EAP. The configuring information of 2.4GHz is taken as the example.

Channel: Select the channel used by
this device to improve wireless
performance. 1/2412MHz means the Channel is 1 and the frequency is
2412MHz. By default, channel is automatically selected.
Tx power: Enter the transmit power value.
If the maximum transmit power is set to be larger than local regulation
allows, the maximum Tx power regulated will be applied in actual
situation.
NOTE
:
In most cases, it is unnecessary to select maximum transmit
power. Selecting larger transmit power than needed may cause
interference to neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will
reduce longevity of the device. Select a certain transmit power is
enough to achieve the best performance.
5.1.2 SSIDs
SSIDs can work together with switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP can build up
to eight virtual wireless networks per radio for users to access. At the same time, it adds
different VLAN tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network.
It supports maximum 8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly
communicate with each other.
Clients connected to the device via cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client
can communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings.
