The N.A.A.W. control panel is a Web application that resides on the device and is easily
accessible by pointing the browser to one of the IP addresses of the device, either
wirelessly or by cable.
If you want to configure your PC manually, you must know the address of the N.A.A.W.
interface to which you are connected (the default is 192.168.1.1/24 on Ethernet ports
and wireless network in AP mode). If you do not know the address, you can follow the
discovery procedure outlined in 5.13.1 “Troubleshooting - The device can’t be reached
at the assigned IP adress”.

11
5. CONFIGURATION
5.2 First access
To accede to the configuration menu of the device you need to connect it to a pc, to
open the Internet browser and to insert the default address 192.168.1.1.
Access data
USERNAME : root
PASSWORD : winext
On the Manual CD included in the package you can find a “.bin” file containing the
firmware of the device to be use to restore it, if needed, following the procedure reported
in chapter 5.7.

12
5. CONFIGURATION
5.3 Main menu
You can accede the different configuration pages through 6 TABS:
- Main
- System
- IP
- Wi-Fi
- Services
- Firewall
The TABS are automatically enabled/disabled according to the profile in use.
5.4 Main
The page shows two sections:
- Profile – Info regarding the active profile.
- Associated nodes – List of wireless nodes connected with the device; this section is
automatically updated in real time (it is empty if there isn’t an associated node). The
button GRAPH can be used to show the graph of the Wi-Fi signal (it can also be used
to optimize the pointing of the antennas).

13
5. CONFIGURATION
5.5 Main – profile management
By selecting the button “Profile management” you open a pop-up.
The profile that is in use is highlighted with the indication “Active”.
For each profile you can find a short description and 4 buttons:
- Activate – for the activation of the selected profile.
- Export – it exports the parameters of the profile to save them locally (for backup, to
use pre-set custom profiles during configuration activities, etc.).
- Copy – to create a copy of the selected profile with a new name.
- Restore – it restores all the parameters of the profile to the original setup.
At the bottom of the pop-up there is a box that you can use to upload profiles stored
locally; if you import a profile with the same name of an existing one the system will
overwrite it (asking a confirmation to the user).
In chapter 5.12 you can find all profiles included in Naawigo Mini device and the typical
scenario for whom they have been created.

14
5. CONFIGURATION
5.6 Change of parameters
When you change parameters the system automatically checks the value inserted in
each field.
Until the value is not properly formatted it is not possible to save the change e the field
is showed in red. Pressing the “undo” button you can cancel the change made on the
value of the field (or the option).
When you change one or more parameters in the top of the page you can find the menu
for the management of changes with an alert and 4 options:
- Try – It makes a test of the changes.
- Apply and save – To save the changes made to the configuration and to apply them
immediately.
- Save – It saves the changes made without applying them until next reboot.
- Restore – All changes that have been made to the page and not yet saved are
canceled.
When you make more changes to a profile it is better to save them (without applying
them) and to reboot the device from section “System”.

5. CONFIGURATION
5.8 IP
In this page you can find up to 4 different sections for the configuration of IP addresses
(the number and the typology of sections that are showed is related to the active profile):
1) Point of access
This network is used as an access point from the client connecting to the device.
The available options are the following:
- Assignment section
- Mode used to assign the IP address: static or dynamic (with assignment made by
the DHCP server to whom the device is connected) - Profiles Access Point and
Repeater.
- Address section
- IP address – profiles Access Point, Repeater, Mesh and Router.
- Network (subnet mask) – profiles Access Point, Repeater, Mesh and Router.
- Gateway – IP address of the gateway to which the device is connected – Profiles
Access Point and Repeater.
- DNS – IP address of the DNS server used from the device – profiles Access Point
and Repeater.
- STP – option to activate the Spanning Tree Protocol – profiles Access Point and

the mesh for the profile “Mesh” and from the wireless network to the Ethernet port
for the profile “Router”) – profiles Mesh and Router.
2) Mesh
This network is used by N.A.A.W. devices to connect among them and creating a mesh
network.
The assignment can be made in two ways:
- NAAW – the address is automatically assigned inside a 10.0.0.0/8 network.
- Static – the address is manually assigned from the user inserting IP address and
subnet mask.
The mesh network is used from all the mesh profiles (Mesh, Mesh GW, Mesh+AP and
Mesh+AP GW).
