[. . . ] Wireless Client Bridge/AP USER MANUAL Simple connectivity to your network Chapter 1: Introduction The Wireless Client Bridge is a 2. 4GHz IEEE 802. 11b-compliant Wireless Bridge/AP/AP Client. The Wireless Client Bridge can operate as a point-to-point or a point-to-multipoint bridge to link networks in different buildings. The Wireless Client Bridge includes cost-effective Power-over- Ethernet (PoE) adapter for supplying power to the Bridge when a power outlet is not easily available. With a one-meter RF cable needed between the Wireless Client Bridge and the external antenna, the Wireless Client Bridge is a cost-effective solution for long distance communications. [. . . ] WEP is an encryption method used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. To decode a data transmission, each point in a network must use an identical 64-bit or 128-bit key. Higher encryption levels mean higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may mean decreased network performance. For 64-bit keys, you must enter 10 hex digits (0-9; A-F) (ex: 12345ABCDE) into the four key boxes. For 128-bit keys, you must enter 26 hex digits (ex: 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890) into the key box. If you leave a key box blank, that means setting this key to all zero. WEP Enabled: In order to utilize WEP encryption, please click the checkbox. If you do not wish to utilize WEP encryption, leave the checkbox blank. WEP key lengths: Select 64-bit or 128-bit key you want to use. WEP key to use: Select which set of key you want to use for transmitted data. To clear any values you've entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To apply any settings you've altered on any page, click the Save button. After you change any settings, it is necessary to reboot the client bridge for the new settings to take effect. 3. 2. 3 Admin IP Information Settings You can change the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of the Client Bridge manually by selecting Static in the IP Address Mode. If you select DHCP in the IP Address Mode, the Client Bridge can get TCP/IP parameters from the DHCP server on your network. Allow upgrade uploads means you are allowed to upgrade the firmware of the Access Point using TFTP utility. IP Address Mode - Enables you to select the IP address mode: Static or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP mode enables the DHCP server on your network to override the current IP address settings. IP Address - Sets the Bridge's IP address. IP Subnet - Sets the Bridge's Subnet Mask address. IP Gateway - Sets the IP address of your network's Gateway. Device Name - Sets the Bridge's name. [. . . ] When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Clients for the Router hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. Multicast PM buffering: Enabling this function can avoid network congestion when there are too many clients to transmit data simultaneously. Admin IP Information Settings You can change the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of the Access Point manually by selecting Static in the IP Address Mode. Or you can select DHCP in the IP Address Mode. [. . . ]
