1.1.1 PC

 Browser: Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0, and some Chromium/Internet Explorer
kernel-based browsers (such as 360 Extreme Explorer) are supported. Exceptions such as garble or format
error may occur if an unsupported browser is used.

 Resolution: 1024 x 768 or a higher resolution is recommended. If other resolutions are used, the page fonts
and formats may not be aligned, the GUI is less artistic, or other exceptions may occur.

1.2 Default Configuration

Table 1-1 Default Web Configuration

Item Default

IP address 10.44.77.254

Username and password are not required at your first


Username/Password
login and you can configure the access point directly.

1.3 Login to Eweb

1.3.1 Connecting to the Access Point

You can open the management page and complete Internet access configuration only after connecting a client
to the access point in either of the following ways:

 Wired Connection

Connect a local area network (LAN) port of the access point to the network port of the PC, and set the IP address
of the PC. See Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client.

 Wireless Connection

On a mobile phone or laptop, search for wireless network @Ruijie-SXXXX (XXXX is the last four digits of the
MAC address of each device). In this mode, you do not need to set the IP address of the management Client,
and you can skip the operation in Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client.

1
Web-based Configuration Guide Fast Internet Access

1.3.2 Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client

Configure an IP address for the management client in the same network segment as the default IP address of
the device (The default device IP address is 10.44.77.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) so that the
management client can access the device. For example, set the IP address of the management client to
10.44.77.100.

Caution

● Make sure that the client can access the Eweb system as long as it can ping the access point.
● The IP address of the management client cannot be set to 10.44.77.253, because this IP address is
reserved by the device. If the management client uses this IP address, it cannot access the device.

1.3.3 Logging in to the Web Page

(1) Enter the IP address (10.44.77.254 by default) of the access point in the address bar of the browser to open
the login page.

Note

If the static IP address of the device is changed, or the device obtains a new dynamic IP address, the new IP
address can be used to access the web management system of the device as long as the management client
and the device are in the same network segment of a LAN.

(2) On the web page, enter the password and click Log In to enter the web management system.

Username and password are not required at your first login and you can configure the access point directly.

For device security, you are advised to set the management password after your first login to the web
management system. After the password is set, you need to enter the password when you log in to the web
management system again.

2
Web-based Configuration Guide Fast Internet Access

If you forget the IP address or password, hold down the Reset button on the device panel for more than 5
seconds when the device is connected to the power supply to restore factory settings. After restoration, you
can use the default IP address and password to log in.

Caution

Restoring factory settings will delete the existing configuration and you are required to configure the device
again at your next login. Therefore, exercise caution when performing this operation.

1.4 Work Mode


The device can work in the router mode, AP mode or wireless repeater mode. The displayed system menu page
and function ranges vary with the work mode. The RAP works in the AP mode by default. If you want to switch
the work mode, see Switching Work Mode.

1.4.1 AP Mode

The device performs L2 forwarding and does not support the DHCP address pool function. In AP mode, the
device often networks with devices supporting the routing function. IP addresses of downlink wireless clients are
assigned and managed by the uplink device (supporting the DHCP address pool) of the AP in a unified manner,
and the AP only transparently transmits data.

1.4.2 Router Mode

The device supports NAT routing and forwarding. The addresses of wireless clients can be assigned by the AP
and wireless network data is routed and forwarded by the AP. NAT is supported in this mode. When an AP works
in the router mode, it supports device networking, network-wide configuration, and AP-specific radio functions.

There are three Internet types available: PPPoE, DHCP mode and static IP address mode. You can connect the
device to an Ethernet cable or an upstream device.

Caution

After switching to the router mode, the device’s LAN IP address will change to 192.168.120.1. Please obtain
an IP address automatically for your management client and enter 10.44.77.254 into the address bar of the
browser to log in to Eweb again.

1.4.3 Wireless Repeater Mode

The device does not support the routing and DHCP server functions in the wireless repeater mode. IP addresses
of the clients are assigned and managed by the primary router. On an available network, the device can be
connected to the primary router through wireless connection to expand the Wi-Fi coverage and increase the
number of LAN ports and wireless access devices.

3.18 Configuring AP Load Balancing

Note

This function is supported by only RG-RAP series access points.

3.18.1 Overview

The AP load balancing function is used to balance the load of APs in the wireless network. When APs are added
to a load balancing group, clients will automatically associate with the APs with light load when the APs in the
group are not load balanced. AP load balancing supports two modes:

 Client Load Balancing: The load is balanced according to the number of associated clients. When a large
number of clients have been associated with an AP and the count difference to the AP with the lightest load
has reached the specified value, the client can only associate with another AP in the group.

 Traffic Load Balancing: The load is balanced according to the traffic on the APs. When the traffic on an AP is
large and the traffic difference to the AP with the lightest load has reached the specified value, the client can
only associate with another AP in the group.

Example: Add AP1 and AP2 into a group and select client load balancing. Set both the client count threshold
and difference to 3. AP1 is associated with 5 clients and AP2 is associated with 2 clients, triggering load
balancing. New clients' attempt to associate to AP1 will be denied, and therefore they can associate only with
AP2.

61
Web-based Configuration Guide Wi-Fi Network Settings

After a client request is denied by an AP and it fails to associate with another AP in the group, the client will keep
trying to associate with this AP. If the client attempts reach the specified value, the AP will permit connection of
this client, ensuring that the user can normally access the Internet.

3.18.2 Configuring Client Load Balancing

Choose Network ( WLAN) > Wi-Fi > Load Balancing.

Click Add. In the dialog box that appears, set Type to Client Load Balancing, and configure Group Name,
Members, and Rule.

the number of attempts to the AP with full load.
Rule By default, when an AP is associated with 3 clients and the difference between
the currently associated client count and client count on the AP with the lightest
load reaches 3, clients can associate only to another AP in the group. After a
client association is denied by an AP for 10 times, the client will be allowed to
associate to the AP upon the next attempt.

Members Specify the APs to be added to the AP load balancing group.

7.1 Login Failure
 What can I do when I failed to log in to the Eweb management system?

Perform the following steps:

(1) Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the LAN port of the device.

(2) Before accessing the setup page, you are advised to choose Auto for the device enabled with DHCP service
to assign an IP address to the PC. If you want to configure a static IP address for the PC, please make sure
the IP address of the PC and the LAN port are in the same IP range. The default IP address of the LAN port
is 10.44.77.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The IP address of the PC should be set to 10.44.77.X
(X is an integer between 2 and 254), and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

(3) Run the Ping command to check the connectivity between the PC and the device. If the ping fails, please
check the network settings.

(4) If the login failure persists, restore the device to factory settings.
