Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser,
h is for finding out the IP of the
ng the Network Application
The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless
epeater)
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of
and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is
192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge
mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the device by both WLAN
(Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes,
the device can be accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP
addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN),
so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet
as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN).
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment,
otherwise it will cause abnormal situation.
We also provide an auto-discovery tool whic
device. In case, you’ve forgot the IP of the device or the IP of the device has
been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even your
PC is not in the same subnet as the device is.

between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP
address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN
port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default
WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP
requirement.

WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you
same public IP address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired
Ethernet port of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless
radio to be client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP then you can
configure the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement.

infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you
can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device
becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can
connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting
with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode serves as a wireless repeate
another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless
clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the

WDS connection.
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS

connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the

Examples of Configuration
This example demonstrates how to set up a network with different device
configurations. There are 2 DHCP servers (DEV1/DEV4) in the network to
control the IP configuration of 2 domains (192.168.2.x/192.168.3.x). Once
the setting is done, all the PCs can visit Internet through DEV1.
We assume all the devices keep the factory default setting. To make sure
that user can continuing press the rest button for more than 5 seconds to
restore the factory default setting.
The following descriptions show the steps to configure DEV1 to DEV5.
Configure DEV1:
1. Connect the ADSL modem to Ethernet port of device using Ethernet
cable.
2. Access the web server (
http://192.168.2.254) of device from the
wireless station.
3. Use Wizard page to setup device.
15
4. Press “Next>>” button then set the “Operation Mode” to “Router” mode.
5. Press “Next>>” button then disable “Time Zone” function.
6. Press “Next>>” button then set the IP address of LAN interface.
7. Press “Next>>” button then select the “PPPoE” for “WAN Access Type”
and fill in the “User Name” and “Password” fields.
16
8. Press “Next>>” button then select the “AP+WDS” for “mode” and
change the SSID to “DEV1”.
9. Press “Next>>” button then select “None” for “Encryption” then press
“Finished” button.
10. Wait for refreshing web page.
11. Use “WDS Settings” page to configure WDS.
17
12. Enable WDS function and add the BSSID of DEV2 to “Current WDS AP
List”.
13. Since we access the device by wireless connection, it may temporarily
disconnect when applying the WDS setting. After re-connecting to the
device, use the “Status” page to check the settings.
18
Configure DEV2:
1. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the
Ethernet port.
Caution
If you configure multiple devices in the same PC, since the devices
have the same default IP address but different MAC addresses, it may
cause you not able to access the web server of device. If the situation
happens, please try to clean the ARP table of your PC by DOS
command “arp –d” then you can access the web server of device
using the default IP address.
2. Use Wizard page to setup device.
3. Press “Next>>” button then set the “Operation Mode” to “Bridge” mode.
4. Press “Next>>” button then disable “Time Zone” function.
