LED Description
Power - PWR Green: Power is on.
Off: Power is off.
The number of lit signal bars depends on the strength of the received signal.
More lit bars indicate a stronger signal.
Preconfiguration Setup
Before you begin, be sure of the following:
1. You have an active ISP account and can access the Internet.
Open a web browser (e.g, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) and visit an Internet
web site. If you successfully see the web site, you are connected. If not, you need to
establish an active Internet connection before proceeding with the installation.
2. Preconfigure your computer to automatically obtain an IP address.
If not already done, set up the LAN interface on your computer to obtain an IP address
automatically. If you are already set up for automatic IP, you should encounter no
problems with your set up.
Connection Failed
Initially you may get a Connection Failed message. If this happens, click the Advanced
Configuration button and use the options to set the correct access point parameters.
Connection Established
At this point, you are associated with the access point. You can now close the web browser
and open a new one to start web browsing.
Radio Settings
Wireless Settings
Note: Data transferred is encrypted under all modes except in Open mode.
b. Static WEP Key: You should enter an encryption key in the Encryption Key field.
c. 802.1x with dynamic WEP key: You do not need to use 802.1x unless instructed to
do so by your ISP.
d. WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: You do not need to use WPA/WPA2-Enterprise unless
instructed to do so by your ISP.
e. WPA/WPA2-Personal: You should enter an encryption key in the Encryption Key
field.
4. Encryption Key
The encryption key must be at least 8 characters.
a. Hide/Show Encryption Key: this allows you to show or hide the actual value of the
password. (e.g., ***** vs. 12345)
5. Preferred AP
a. MAC: The MAC address of a preferred access point (AP) can be entered here. When
the preferred access point is found and its signal strength is higher than the Min
Signal Strength, it will connect to this preferred access point, even when other access
points are found having higher signal strength or the same SSID.
b. Minimum Signal Strength:
c. APs with matching SSID:
6. Click SAVE at the bottom of the screen to apply the settings.
Roaming Settings
IP Settings
AP Settings
The available Access Point (AP) settings for the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point functionality
are as follows:
1. Keep AP
a. Enable: This option keeps the Wi-Fi Access Point always on, even if there is no
connection to the Wi-Fi Internet Service Provider.
b. Disable: This option disables the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point functionality.
2. Broadcast SSID
a. Enable: With this option enabled, the configured SSID will be broadcast so that it can
be detected by an SSID scan.
b. Disable: The configured SSID will not be broadcast so that it cannot be detected by
an SSID scan. To connect with the access point, the SSID needs to be known by the
client.
3. Client Isolation
a. Enable: This prevents wireless clients connected to the AP from communicate with
each other.
b. Disable: This allows wireless clients connected to the AP to communicating with
each other.
4. Configure Manually
This option requires manual configuration of the SSID, Authentication, and Encryption
Key values corresponding to the Access Point.
a. SSID: In manual configuration mode, the SSID is manually entered.
b. Authentication: It can be one of three configurable values:
• Open: No Encryption Key is necessary.
• Static WEP Key: A 64- or 128-bit Encryption Key is required, and can be entered
in either an ASCII or HEX representation.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal: An Encryption Key, of at least 8 characters, is required.
5. Configure Automatically
The SSID, Authentication, and Encryption Key values corresponding to the Access Point
are automatically configured to be the same as the respective values that correspond to
the ISP's network.
With the Access Point Configuration set to Configure Automatically, the SSID,
Authentication, and Encryption Key values of the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point will be
configured to be the same as in the Wireless Settings section.
6. Disable.
This option disables the Access Point.
1. Enable
With WAI Redirection, if the device is not connected to an access point, and the user is
accessing an Internet web site, the settings control whether to redirect the web access to
the web admin interface page or not.
2. Disable
If this is disabled and the device is not connected, the browser will show a web access
error message. The user can still access the web admin interface by accessing the
device's LAN IP address.
By default, the LAN IP address is set to http://192.168.20.1.
1. Web Password Protection sets the password to protect the web user interface.
a. Enable: sets the Password to protect the web user interface.
b. Disable: disables password protection.
2. Password
By default, the login account is set to admin and password is set to password.
There are two ways to restore the 802.11g WiFi Receiver to default settings.
1. Click the Restore and Reboot button.
If you can access the web admin interface, go to the CPE Setup page, and click the
Restore and Reboot button. When this button is clicked, the factory default settings to
restored and the unit automatically restarts.
2. Press the Reset Button on the unit
If you cannot access the admin interface, you can power up the unit and wait for about 3
minutes. Then, using a pin or paperclip, press the Reset Button at the top of the unit and
hold it for 5 seconds. The unit restores the settings to factory default and automatically
reboot the unit.
Port Forwarding
1. Service Port Range:
Enter a port or a range of ports that you would like to forward.
2. Protocol:
The Protocol for the above port(s) forwarding. You should select at least one protocol
between TCP and UDP.
3. IP Address:
The IP address that you would like the traffic forwarded to.
4. Del:
By clicking the button, you can delete the corresponding rows of port forwarding rules.
DMZ Host
Below the port forwarding table, is an option called DMZ Host. If you Enable this function,
your 802.11g WiFi Receiver becomes a DMZ device. You can enter an IP address, which will
be the IP address of the device exposed to the Internet.
The purpose of a DMZ is to make sure all external users can access any ports on the device,
so that users do not need to set up port forwarding, and Internet traffic can directly reach
internal devices.
The table below shows some well-known ports, which are officially registered with IANA.
Table 2-1.
QoS
1. Target:
To choose whether it is an incoming (Source) or outgoing (Destination) traffic that should
be controlled by the service.
2. Service Port Range:
Enter a port or a range of ports that would like to be controlled by the service.
3. Protocol:
The Protocol for the above port(s). You should select at least one protocol between TCP
and UDP.
4. IP Address:
The IP address that you would like the traffic to be controlled by the service.
5. Priority:
There are three choices for service priority: Background, Video and Voice. By choosing
Default, priority will be automatically adjusted.
6. Del:
By clicking the Delete button, you can delete the corresponding rows of QoS rules.
Firmware Upgrade
The 802.11g WiFi Receiver can check whether a newer firmware (the software running on the
unit) is available.
However, it is recommended that you do not update the firmware unless specifically
instructed by your ISP to do so. When a firmware upgrade is needed, your ISP will either give
you instructions or they will upgrade the firmware remotely.
Tip: It is highly recommended that users download the configuration file for
backup purposes before doing a firmware upgrade. The download
directory link can be found on the bottom of the Debug and System
Information screen.
