Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview of the EAP
EAP 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.
EAP320/EAP330 can be powered via a PSE* device or the provided power adapter.
With the built-in dual-band antennas module, EAP320/EAP330 operate at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz,
and apply 802.11ac standards and MIMO technology, allowing packet transmission at up to

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 refer to the EAP Controller User Guide from our
official website:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/

Chapter 3 Management Mode
AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Access Point EAP320 and AC1900 Wireless Dual Band Access Point
EAP330 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 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 to learn more.
TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapters for information on using the EAP in standalone mode. EAP330
is taken as the example.

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). You can also select Static to configure the 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.
DHCP Fallback
IP/IP MASK:
Enter the fallback IP/IP mask.
DHCP Fallback
Gateway:
Enter the fallback gateway.

5.1.1 Wireless Basic Settings
Figure 5-3 Wireless Basic Settings
2.4GHz Wireless
Radio/5GHz
Wireless Radio:
Check the box to enable the Wireless Radio.
Wireless Mode: Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.
Wireless network created by the EAP is able to operate in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
frequency The EAP supports 802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g, 802.11n standards in the
2.4GHz mode and 802.11a/n/ac, 802.11n/ac, 802.11ac standards in the 5GHz
mode. It is recommended to select 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) and 802.11a/n/ac
(5GHz), in which way clients supporting any one of these modes can access
your wireless network.
Channel Width: Select the channel width of this device.
For 2.4Ghz, the o
ptions include 20MHz, 40MHz and 20/40MHz (this device
automatically selects 20MHz or 40MHz, and 20MHz will be used if 40MHz is not
available), and for 5Ghz, include 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and 20/40/80MHz.
According to IEEE 802.11 standard, using a channel width of 40MHz or 80MHz
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:
P
roceed 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.
10

Channel: S
elect the channel used by this device to improve wireless performance.
1/2412MHz means the channel is 1 and the frequency is 2412MHz.
Tx power: Enter the transmit power value. By default, the value is 20.
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 tha
n 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.
Click in the Modify column, the following content will be shown.
Figure 5-4 SSIDs
Click to add up to 8 wireless networks per radio.
SSID Name: Enter up to 32 characters as the SSID name.
Wireless VLAN
ID:
Set a VLAN ID (ranges from 1 to 4094) for the wireless network. Wireless networks
with the same VLAN ID are grouped to a VLAN.
11

SSID
Broadcast:
Enable this function
, AP will broadcast its SSID to hosts in the surrounding
environment, as thus hosts can find the wireless network identified by this SSID. If
SSID Broadcast is not enabled, hosts must enter the AP’s SSID manually to connect
to this AP.
Security Mode: Select the security mode of the wireless network. For the security of wireless
network, you are suggested to encrypt your wireless network. T
his device
provides three security modes: WPA-Enterprise, WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key)
and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WPA-PSK is recommended. Settings vary in
different security modes as the details are in the following introduction. Select
None and the hosts can access the wireless network without password.
Portal: Portal provides authentication service
for the clients who want to access the
wireless local area network. For more information, refer to 5.2 Portal. After Portal
is enabled, the configurations in 5.2 Portal will be applied.
SSID Isolation:
After enabling SSID Isolation, the devices connected in the same SSID cannot
communicate with each other.
Modify: Click to open the page to edit the parameters of SSID.
Click to delete the SSID.
Following is the detailed introduction of security mode: WEP, WPA-Enterprise and WPA-PSK.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, is less safe than WPA-
Enterprise or WPA-PSK.
NOTE:
WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be
able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (in the 2.4GHz frequency
band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the device may work at a low transmission rate.
Figure 5-5 Security Mode_WEP
Type: Select the authentication type for WEP.
Auto: The default setting is Auto, which can select Open System or Shared Key
automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.
12


Open System: After you select Open System, clients can pass the
authentication and associate with the wireless network without password.
However, correct password is necessary for data transmission.
Shared Key: After you select Shared Key, clients has to input password to pass
the authentication, or it cannot associate with the wireless network or
transmit data.
Key Selected: You can configure four keys in advance and select one as the present valid key.
Wep Key
Format:
Select ASCII or Hexadecimal as the WEP key format.
ASCII: ASCII format stands for any combination of keyboard characters in the
specified length.
Hexadecimal:
Hexadecimal format stands for any combination of
hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F) in the specified length.
Key Type: Select the WEP key length (64-bit, or 128-bit) for encryption.
64-bit: You can enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, A-F
without null key) or 5 ASCII characters.
128-bit: You can enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, A-
F without null key) or 13 ASCII characters.
Key Value: Enter the key value.
WPA-Enterprise
Based on RADIUS server, WPA-Enterprise can generate different passwords for different users and
it is much safer than WPA-PSK. However, it costs much to maintain and is more suitable for
enterprise users. At present, WPA-Enterprise has two versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Figure 5-6 Security Mode_WPA-Enterprise
Version: Select one of the following versions:
Auto: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK automatically based on the client
device's capability and request.
WPA-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA.
WPA2-PSK: Pre-shared key of WPA2.
13

Encryption: Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default setting
is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the client device's
capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP and TKIP is not supported
in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select AES as the encryption type.
RADIUS Server
IP/Port:
Enter the IP address/port of the RADIUS server.
RADIUS
Password:
Enter the shared secret of RADIUS server to access the RADIUS server.
Group Key
Update period:
Specify the group key update period in seconds. The value can be either 0 or
30-8640000 seconds.
NOTE:
Encryption type TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If TKIP is applied in 802.11n mode, the
clients may
not be able to access the wireless network of the EAP. If TKIP is applied in 11b/g/n
mode (in the 2.4GHz frequency band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the device may work
at a low transmission rate.
WPA-PSK
Based on pre-shared key, security mode WPA-PSK is characterized by high security and simple
configuration, which suits for common households and small business. WPA-PSK has two
versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Figure 5-7 Security Mode_WPA-PSK
Version: Auto: Select WPA or WPA2 automatically based on the wireless station's
capability and request.
