USING GWN76XX AS STANDALONE ACCESS POINT
The GWN76XX can be used in Standalone mode, where it can act as Master Access Point Controller or in Slave mode and
managed by another GWN76XX Master.
This section will describe how to use and configure the GWN76XX in standalone mode.
GWN76XX can be used as standalone access point out of box, or after factory reset with Wi-Fi enabled by default.
After powering the GWN76XX and connecting it to the network, GWN76XX will broadcast a default SSID based on its MAC
address GWN [MAC’s last 6 digits] and a random password.
Note that GWN76XX’s default SSID and password information are printed on the MAC tag of the unit as shown on the below
figure.
Master/Slave mode is helpful with large installations that need more area zones coverage with the same controller.
Login Page
Warning
Set unit as Master option will forbid the GWN76XX Access Point from being paired by other Master GWN76XX and can only act
as a Master Access point controller. Users will need to perform a factory reset to the GWN76XX , or unpair it from the initial
GWN76XX to make it open to Master Access Point mode again.
Login Page
After login, users can use the Setup Wizard tool to go through the configuration setup or exit and configure it manually. Setup
Wizard can be accessed anytime by clicking on while on the web interface.
Setup Wizard
First, note that by default the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected to the same LAN
(broadcast domain), there is also a possibility to pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43 with master direction
explained below.
Master Direction
To pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP address of master AP on
DHCP option 43 which will be send to the slave access point during booting stage and allow the save/master connection to
be established remotely. GWN76xx accepts option 224 encapsulated in option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple
example of DHCP 43 configuration would be:
Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network 192.168.1.0/24 and slave AP
located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On remote network the admin can set DHCP option 43 using GWN70xx router as
following value:
encap:43,224,”192.168.1.100”.
The slave AP has the option ”Allow DHCP Option 43 to override GWN Manager Address” enabled by default.
Option 43 Override
After that, the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for paring and provisioning process
which is described on the next steps.
To Pair a GWN76XX access point connected to the same Network as the GWN76xx follows the below steps:
1. Connect to the GWN76xx Web GUI as Master and go to Access Points → Configuration.
2. Click on to discover access points within GWN76xx Network, the following page will appear.
Discovered Devices
3. Click on Pair under Actions, to pair the discovered access point as slave with the GWN76xx acting as Master.
The paired GWN76XX access point will appear Online, users can click on to unpair it.
GWN76XX Online
If a GWN76XX is not being discovered or the pair icon is grey color, make sure that it is not being paired with another
GWN76XX Access Point acting as Master Controller. If yes, users will need to unpair it first, or reset it to factory default settings
in order to make it available for pairing by other GWN76XX Access Point Controller
AP Location
GWN76xx supports a handy feature which allows users to locate other Access points by blinking LED. To use the feature,
navigate on the master web GUI under “Access Points → Status” page and click on the icon near the desired AP, and it
corresponding unit will start blinking the LEDs.
Users can easily transfer the AP from the local master to the GWN Cloud or GWN Manager account by clicking on
When you already have Network/Wi-Fi configurations on your GWN account, using this feature will let you
choose existing Network/SSID to adopt your local AP.
Navigate to AP Web UI → Access Points → Configuration page, please refer to the figure below:
Then select where to transfer the select AP, either GWN Cloud or GWN Manager.
Transfer AP
After this step, you will be redirected to GWN Cloud/GWN Manager page, select the network and click on “Save” button to
complete the transfer.
This feature will allow you to transfer your local configurations to your cloud account. For more details,
please refer to GWN.Cloud User Guide.
Failover Master
In a Master-Slave architecture, having a backup Master is critical for redundancy and failover function, thus, and in order to
avoid a single point of failure in your wireless network, you can specify a slave AP as failover master. Whenever it detects the
master is down, it will promote itself as failover master within a time frame of around 20~30 minutes by entering failover
mode. After then, if the master AP comes back, failover master will automatically go back to slave mode, or if the master does
not come back to alive, Administrator can login using “failover” account to turn the failover master as true master and take
over all controls.
Failover Master
Log into Web GUI of the Master access point then navigate to Access points → Configuration then click on and
finally select the candidate access point from the drop-down list to be used as a Failover AP.
Failover AP
Failover Mode
Once Failover slave has been selected, the primary master will send the configuration of the network to the Failover slave and
the slave will start monitoring the status of the primary master to detect any failure for any reason (network connection loss,
power outage).
In case of failure, the Failover slave will promote itself to a temporary backup master while waiting for the primary master to
come back.
During the Failover mode users could access the web GUI of the Failover slave using a special Failover account with same
admin password.
Username = failover
The Failover mode has only read permission on the configuration and limited options, users still can reboot other slave Access
points in case it is needed.
Users also can press on « Switch to Master » button in order to set the Failover slave as the new primary master of the
wireless network, once this is done they have full write permission control over the web GUI option as usual. Use that button
to switch to master and takeover the rest of the APs.
Important notes
If you click « Switch to Master », this would be become a non-revertible behavior. Failover Slave will become actual master and
the prior master cannot take back the control anymore.
When Failover Slave is switched to Master, you will use the Prior Master AP credentials: username: admin, and the admin
password.
Otherwise, when original master comes back online, then Failover Slave will become slave again to prior original Master.
Takeover Feature
This feature is used to re-pair the slave APs whose master has gone offline with another master AP in the same subnet. Please
follow the steps to takeover slave APs from other master:
Step 1. Login to the Web GUI of Master and click on “Discover APs” in the Access Points Page.
Takeover – Step 1
Step 2. Select the one or multiple APs to be taken over then click on “takeover” button of the target AP.
Takeover – Step 2
Step 3. Enter the Takeover key which is the admin password of the previous master AP.
Takeover – Step 3
Transfer to Master
From the Master Access Point, the Administrator do have the capability to assign any Slave Access point to become the new
Master to manage all the already paired Access points. Except for GWN7602.
Switch to Master
Click on button, the following warning message will prompt in order to confirm the procedure:
When the process is finished, the original Master will turn to be a slave for the new Assigned Master, and to login to the new
Master AP web interface, you will need to use the previous Master Admin password.
Note
All the previously existed paired APs will be provisioned with the new Master AP.
The Switch to Master option is unlimited action and does not require any reset for the already paired APs.
Client Bridge
The Client Bridge feature allows an access point to act as a wireless bridge and connect the wired only clients to the wireless
network. When an access point is configured in this way, it will share the Wi-Fi connection to the LAN ports directly. This is not
to be confused with a mesh setup. The configured AP will not accept wireless clients in this mode.
Once a SSID has the Client Bridge Support enabled, the AP adopted in this SSID can be turned in to Bridge Client mode
by click the then the Bridge button .
Please be noted that once an AP it turned into Client Bridge mode, it cannot be controlled by a Master anymore, and a factory
reset is required to turn it back into normal AP mode.

Important notes
The access point that will be operating on bridge mode, must be set with a fixed IP address before activating the bridge mode
on the access point.
Users must enable client bridge support option under SSID or SSID Wi-Fi settings in order to have it fully functional.
The Client Bridge requires the SSID to not have any VLAN ID enabled
USING GWN76xx AS SLAVE ACCESS POINT
GWN access points can be paired as a slave to a master, this master can be another GWN access point, GWN routers or
GWN.Cloud/GWN Manager.
If the GWN access point is added to either GWN.Cloud or GWN Manager, the Speed Test feature will be available to users.
Please for more details check GWN Management Platforms – User Guide (Configure a GWN Access Point).
Slave Mode allows the users to access to specific service and system settings.

Post-Authentication Rules
On the other hand, post authentication rules are used to match traffic that will be banned for Wi-Fi clients after
authentication. As an example, if you want to disallow connected Wi-Fi clients to issue Telnet or SSH traffic after
authentication then you can set post authentication rules to match that traffic and once a connected client passes the
authentication process they will be banned from issuing telnet and SSH connections.

Click on to edit the corresponding file, in another word, to replace the file with a new one.
Vouchers
Voucher feature will allow clients to have internet access for a limited duration using a code that is randomly generated from
GWN controller.
Note that multiple users can use a single voucher for connection with expiration duration of the voucher that starts counting
after first successful connection from one of the users that are allowed.
Another interesting feature is that the administrators can set data bandwidth limitation on each created voucher depending
on the current load on the network, users’ profile (VIP customers get more speed than regular ones…etc.) and the internet
connection available (fiber, DSL, or cable…etc.) to avoid network congestion and slowness of the service.
Each created voucher can be printed and served to the customers for usage, and the limit is 1000 vouchers.
The usage of voucher feature needs to be combined with captive portal that is explained after this section, in order to have
the portal page requesting clients to enter voucher code for authentication.
Voucher Configuration
Notes:
Users can specify how many vouchers to generate with the same profile, this way the GWN will generate as many
vouchers as needed with the same settings to avoid creating them one by one.
The administrators can verify the status of each voucher on the list (In use, not used, expired …etc.).
The below figure shows the list of the vouchers after GWN randomly generates the code for each one.
Users can click on buttons and to delete and print multiple vouchers or click
Also, users can use the drop-down list filter to filter the vouchers that were created at specific
date-time.

DHCP Server
Users could create and manage multiple DHCP server pools which will be mapped to the SSID using VLAN tag, for example
when creating a DHCP pool under “System Settings 🡪 DHCP Server” users need to set a VLAN ID and the same ID should
be set under the SSID field to map the configured DHCP pool with the SSID. This way users could configure multiple SSIDs
mapped to multiple VLANs on the network in which case they are isolated by layer 2 switching.
The table below summarizes the configuration parameters for DHCP server.
Field Description
VLAN ID Set a VLAN ID, same one should be set on SSID settings to map it with the DHCP pool.
DHCP Server Static Configure the static address of the DHCP server (through which GWN Master AP will be
Address accessible).

DHCP Relay
DHCP Relay is a network device that forwards IP addresses from the DHCP Server to clients devices, even if the DHCP server is
on a different network (ex: VLAN). This way we can have a dedicated DHCP server on many networks. GWN access points can
be configured as a DHCP relay agent. Please follow the steps below:
Prerequisite: before configuring DHCP Relay, first we have to assign a static IP address to both devices that will be acting as a
DHCP Server and DHCP Relay in our case it’s two GWN76xx Access Points.
1. The first step in our example is to make a GWN access point as a DHCP Server, please refer to DHCP Server configuration.
2. Navigate to Web UI → Access Points → Configuration, click on the access point or click on the “Edit” icon, then the
device configuration window will show up. Set a static IP for both access points (one acting as a DHCP Server and the
other one as a DHCP Relay), please refer to the figure below.
Setting up a static IP
3. To configure DHCP Relay, please navigate to GWN access point Web UI → Service → DHCP Server → DHCP Relay tab,
Then enable DHCP Relay and then enter the DHCP Server Address (ex: GWN access point).

TR-069
Notes:
1. Restrictions:
Both Master and Slave (regardless of whether it has been taken over by GWN Cloud/Local Master) support TR-069 function,
and you can go to their respective local web terminal to open TR-069 and make related configuration.
If the Slave under the GWN Cloud, it will be disconnected from the Cloud. The AP can still show on the Cloud, but it is not
manageable (similar to the AP taken over by the Master can be added to the Cloud); if the Slave is under the Local Master, the
connection with the Local Master will be disconnected, and the Master will no longer show this AP.
2. Failover does not support TR-069 function. When multiple slaves are managed under Local Master, set a slave to failover
mode. When the Master fails, the slave acts as the Master to manage other slaves. At this time, if you want to migrate to the
TR-069 platform, you can only configure TR-069 for each of the other Slaves through their own local web pages. So, they need
to be migrated one by one, and APs in Failover mode cannot be migrated. (After failover master get transferred into official
master, by admin to login and confirm, there will be no such restriction anymore)
3. Master supports the migration of the whole setup including its slaves to TR-069, and the behavior is irreversible. If the
Master turns on TR-069, all online Slave APs it controls will be migrated to the TR-069 platform, and the Master’s identity will
also be changed to Slave. In this process, you need to ensure the TR-069 configuration information, especially the ACS URL is
configured correctly, otherwise the migration will fail, and all AP roles remain unchanged, and the function does not affect the
use.
4. If a slave is offline, it will not be migrated to TR-069. After it goes online again, it will not be migrated to the TR-069
platform either. It is still in the state of being taken over by the original Master, but is no longer managed by the Master. It
cannot be managed by Cloud, but can only be taken over by other Masters or factory reset.
5. APs managed by TR-069 can be “Take Over” by Local Master. After Taken Over, TR-069 shuts down by itself, and the Local
Master issues the configuration to the AP to overwrite the original configuration from TR-069. This process will take a certain
amount of time.
6. An AP under TR-069 will be disconnected from TR-069 by itself after the TR-069 function is turned off on the AP’s local web
UI, but it will not affect its function use and can continue to be taken over by Master/GWN Cloud.

LEDs
GWN76XX Access Points series also support the LED schedule feature. This feature is used to set the timing when the LEDs are
ON and when they will go OFF at customer’s convenience.
This can be useful for example when the LEDs become disturbing during some periods of the day, this way with the LED
scheduler, you can set the timing so that the LEDs are off at night after specific hours and maintain the Wi-Fi service for other
clients without shutting down the AP.

Mesh
In Mesh Network, wireless connection is established between multiple Aps, which is used to pass-through data traffic rather
than client association. Each AP will evaluate the performance of wireless channel based on several factors and choose one or
multiple appropriate APs to setup connection.
CAP (Central Access Point): this is an access point that has an uplink connection to the wired network.
RE (Range Extender): This is an access point that participate on the mesh network topology and has a wireless uplink
connection to the central network.
In order to deploy mesh access points (RE), users/installers can follow below steps:
1. Make sure to have the master and CAPs access points already deployed (sometimes the CAPs access points can be the
master controller of the network).
2. Next, we need to pair the REs access points to the master. This can be done in two ways:
3. Connect all REs to the same wired LAN as the master then perform the normal process of discovery/pairing process, and
after successfully pairing the APs they can be deployed on the field.
4. REs can also be discovered wirelessly when powered via PSU or PoE Injector, and administrators can configure them after
discovery. This requires that the REs must be within the range of the Master or CAP Slave’s signals coverage.
Note: If there are other GWN APs broadcasting in the same field with different subnet, RE may be wirelessly connected to
those networks and cannot be discovered and paired by your Master. Therefore, it is recommended to use the first method of
wired pairing and then deploy those REs.
1. After that all slave access points have been deployed and paired to the master, you can directly manage them to operate
the mesh network. Mesh service configuration is the same as transitional GWN WLAN.
2. Log into the master page, and under Access Points page you can see the information, for example the AP in the “Online
Wireless” state is the RE (Range Extender) with a wireless uplink to the CAP. The APs showing “Online” state are either a
wired master or CAP.
For Global mesh network settings, on GWN76XX, navigate to the menu “System🡪 Settings 🡪 Mesh”
The following table down below describes the Mesh configuration settings for the GWN76XX:
Filed Description
Enable Mesh When checked the Mesh feature will be activated. Default is disabled.
Scan Interval Interval in seconds to scan for available Mesh neighbors. Must be less than or equal to 300 seconds.
Interface 5GHz band. Note: Mesh does not support 2.4GHz, due to the channel interference.
Wireless Define how many AP can be cascaded wirelessly with the AP. The minimum value is 1 and maximum
Cascades value is 3.
For more detailed information about GWN Mesh network feature, you may refer to the following technical document: Mesh
Network Guide.
Important notes:
1. The RE should be set with DHCP Mode for a Client device connected to NET PORT to acquire an IP Address.
2. If RE is set with static IP, then using a PoE injector is recommended as any Network activity detected by the AP will cause
the Mesh to fail. Otherwise, user will only need to make sure that there is no DHCP Server in the network connected to the
AP’s Ethernet port.
Schedule
Users can use the schedule configuration menu to set specific schedule for GWN features while giving the flexibility to specify
the date and time to turn ON/OFF the selected feature.
The Schedule can be used for setting up specific time for Wi-Fi where the service will be active or for LED schedule or
bandwidth rules …etc.
2. Select the periods on each day that will be included on the schedule and enter a name for the schedule (ex: office hours).
3. Users can choose to set weekly schedule or absolute schedule (for specific days for example), and if both weekly schedule
and absolute schedules are configured on the same day then the absolute schedule will take effect and the weekly
program will be cancelled for that specific date.
4. Once the schedule periods are selected, click on Save to save the schedule.
