1. IP Configuration in AP/SU

To configure the IP Configuration, Click Network > IP Configuration

Address Type: Satic/ Dymatic

  • Static: A static IP address is simply an address that does not change until the device is decommissioned or your network architecture changes

  • Dymatic: Dynamic addresses are assigned, as needed, by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers and are subject to change periodically.

IP Address

An IP address (internet protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is crucial for determining how hosts (such as computers, routers, and switches) interact with the wider network. It defines the partition of an IP address into network and host portions, dictating which part of an IP address identifies the network segment and which part identifies the specific host within that segment. This segmentation is essential for efficient network organization and traffic routing.

Gateway IP

A gateway IP refers to a device on a network that sends local network traffic to other networks.

Fallback IP

  • Accessing the Radio Web Interface through Fallback IP

To ensure administrators can access the radio web interface in situations where a DHCP server is unavailable, the configuration allows for the use of a fallback IP address. This can be especially useful for accessing the administrative web interface or configuring a static IP address in fallback mode.

  • Steps to Enable Fallback IP Access

  1. Navigate to the Fallback IP section.

  2. Change the Status to Enable (alternatively, you can Disable it when necessary).

  3. Fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields with the appropriate values.

By following these steps, administrators can reliably access and manage the device, even in environments lacking DHCP server support.


2. VLAN Settings

To configure VLAN, Click Network>VLAN> VLAN Configuration

VLAN Status: Enable/Disable

To enable or disable the VLAN functionality.

VLAN Mode: Transparent

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) allows for the creation of a custom network from one or more existing LANs. It enables the combination of devices across various networks, both wired and wireless, into a single logical network. The transparent mode feature permits the forwarding of VLAN-tagged traffic.


3. Ethernet Configuration

To configure Ethernet, Click Networks> Ethernet > Ethernet Configuration. Ethernet Configuration can be done for both LAN1 and LAN2.

Ethernet Speed

  • Auto-Negotiation: When this option is chosen in AP/SU, the Ethernet configuration tries to auto-negotiate. Based on the connected switch/router, send the optimal mode for speed connection.

  • Specific Ethernet Negotiation Speed: Allows two-way transmission simultaneously.

    • LAN 1: Supports 100 Mbps- Full or 1000 Mbps–Full Ethernet transmission mode.

    • LAN 2: Supports 100 Mbps- Full, 1000 Mbps-Full or 2500 Mbps –Full Ethernet transmission mode.

Ethernet MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size is a critical setting for the wireless interface, dictating the maximum size of data packets that can be sent or received. MTU sizes range from 1,500 to 9,000 bytes, influencing network performance and efficiency.


4. DHCP Server Setup

The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server plays a crucial role in managing the assignment of IP addresses within a network. When enabled, it automatically selects IP addresses from a designated pool tied to a specific network interface and allocates them to DHCP clients. This protocol streamlines the process of setting up network devices by centrally assigning IP addresses, thus avoiding potential IP address conflicts and simplifying network administration.

Radio 1/ 2

To configure the parameters, Click Network > DHCP / Leases > Radio 1/2

DHCP Server: Enable/ Disable

A DHCP Server is a vital network service that automatically assigns IP addresses, default gateways, and various network settings to client devices, streamlining network configuration and management.

Start IP Address/ End IP Address

Range of IP address to be used by DHCP server to assign.

Lease Time

DHCP Lease Time is the amount of time in minutes or seconds a network device can use an IP Address in a network.

2.4 GHz Radio

To configure the 2.4GHz parameters, Click Network > DHCP Server> 2.4 GHz Radio

IP Address

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network, enabling communication between devices.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is a numerical label that determines how an IP network is divided into subnetworks, defining the connection between hosts (such as computers, routers, and switches) and the rest of the network.

DHCP Server

A DHCP server, equipped with a set of IP addresses, dynamically allocates one to each requesting DHCP client.

Start and End IP Address

To configure your DHCP server for assigning IP addresses, specify a range within the network's subnet. This range includes the starting and ending IP addresses available for devices on your network. Ensure that the selected range does not overlap with statically assigned addresses to avoid IP conflicts.

Example Configuration:

  • Starting IP Address: 192.168.1.100

  • Ending IP Address: 192.168.1.200

This configuration allows the DHCP server to assign IP addresses between 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200.

Lease Time

Specifies the maximum lease time for which the DHCP client can use the IP address provided by the DHCP Server. The value ranges from 120 - 86400 seconds.

DHCP Fixed Leases

To configure the DHCP Fixed Leases parameters, Click Network > DHCP Server> DHCP Fixed Leases

To add a new host entry:

  1. Click the ADD button. This action opens a new window.

  2. In the new window, enter the host's Hostname, MAC Address, and IP Address.

  3. Once entered, the information is bound together and displayed in the list.

Leases

To configure the Leases parameters, Click Network > DHCP Server> Leases

DHCP Leases

DHCP Leases displays the list of IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server.
