in Figure 4-16).

Auto-unlock PIN upon Power-on: When the PIN code is required upon device restarting,
it will be validated automatically once. If validation failed, you need to enter the PIN code
on the Status page.

If the current status of PIN is disabled, you can select Enable and set a PIN code, and then
click Apply to make your settings take effect. While, if the SIM cards current status is PIN
enabled and verified, you can select Disable and enter the current PIN code, or select Modify
and set a new PIN code, and then click Apply to make your settings take effect.

Figure 4-16 PIN Configuration - PUK Decode

A PUK (PIN Unlocked Key), also known as Personal Unlock Code (PUC), is used in 3GPP
mobile phones to reset a personal identification number (PIN) that has been lost or forgotten.
The PUK is a SIM-specific code assigned by the service provider. If a user does not know his or
her PUK and is prompted for it, it should be obtained from the service provider.
On the page as shown in Figure 4-16, first enter the PUK code and then set a new PIN code to
unlock your SIM card as well as any device with it inserted.

4.4.2.1. Basic Settings


You can configure basic wireless settings on this page.

Figure 4-18 Wireless Basic Settings

Wireless Network Name (SSID): SSID is short for Service Set Identification, which helps
you distinguish different wireless networks. The default SSID of this device is
TP-LINK_M7350_XXXXXX (XXXXXX stand for the last 6 characters of the MAC address of
it.). You can rename it as your preference, but the value is limited to 32 characters and also
it's case-sensitive (For example, TEST is NOT the same as test). Later on it will display in
the wireless network list searched by your devices.

SSID Broadcast: Select to enable or disable this function. When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast
by the device. If you enable SSID broadcast, the wireless device will broadcast its name
(SSID) on the air; otherwise, you have to manually type in the SSID and then you can join
its network.

Region: Select your region from the drop-down list. This field specifies the region where
the wireless function of the device can be used. It may be illegal to use the wireless
function of the device in a region other than one of those specified in this field. If your
country or region is not listed, please contact your local government agency for assistance.

Wireless Band: This field determines the frequency band that the radio will work on. There
are two bands you can choose: 2.4G or 5G. Please pick up suitable frequency band
according to the policy of local government and your requirements.

Channel: This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The channel list
varies with the region and wireless band. If you select "Auto", then the device will choose
-27-

M7350

LTE-Advanced Mobile WiFi User Guide

the best channel automatically. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless
you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.

Wireless Mode: This field determines which Wi-Fi network protocol will be used. The
wireless mode list varies with the wireless band. For 2.4GHz wireless band, the wireless
mode can be 11n only, 11bg mixed and 11bgn mixed. For 5GHz wireless band, the
wireless mode can be 11n only and 11an mixed. Without special demands, you are
recommended to select 11bgn mixed (for 2.4GHz wireless band) or 11an mixed (for 5GHz
wireless band) as Wi-Fi mode. To seek the optimal performance of Wi-Fi hotspot, you are
recommended to select the mode that corresponds with your wireless NIC, for instance, if
your NIC supports IEEE802.11n specification, 11n only is recommended.

Wireless Security: You are provided two modes of security here: Unsecured and
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication
type based on pre-shared passphrase. It's easy to set and secure to use. So it's perfect for
SOHO users.

Wireless Password: You can enter 8~63 ASCII characters (case sensitive) or 64
hexadecimal characters (case insensitive) as your wireless password.

Wi-Fi Auto-disable Time: If no clients connect to the device's wireless network in a period
of time (15 minutes by default), the Wi-Fi will be shut down. You can press the power
button to resume the Wi-Fi. The value 0 indicates that the device never shuts down Wi-Fi
automatically.

Appendix D: Glossary

802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input
multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased
data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity,
perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and
promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area
networking (WLAN) products.

802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using


direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio
spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to
as Wi-Fi networks.

802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence


spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices,
and WEP encryption for security.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the
TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.

SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key


identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in
the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards
group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local
area.
