It uses an Ethernet interface to connect to LAN, and wireless 802. 11b-based interface to connect to a Wireless Networking System, which provides miscellaneous WAN access. Wireless Networking System TEW-212APBO is part of the Wireless Internet Service Provision System. It provides access for locally connected computers to WAN, such as the Internet. In Figure 1 shown below, the client devices are connected to the access points (please refer to TEW-212APBO specification). Figure 1: TEW-212APBO Solution 2 Features TEW-212APBO is based on indoor-outdoor architecture. [. . . ] The first statistics appear as 2 points after 5 minutes after TEW-212APBO. Normal view is acquired 10 minutes and later after TEW-212APBO reboot. Click on the 'Show' button is needed when first time the TX/RX statistics applet appears in browser window. Next time click 'Refresh' button which appears instead of 'Show' button to get newer TX/RX statistics. You can also manipulate on TX/RX graph time interval. There are two dropdown menus used for this purpose. The first one is used to choose the interval starting hour. It is possible to choose any hour from the last 24 hours, but choice can be limited to fewer hours because of TEW-212APBO reboot. The second drop-down is used to choose time interval duration in hours. The possible choices are from 1 to 25 hours, but it also can be limited to fewer hours because of TEW-212APBO reboot. Sometimes you can get 24 instead of 25 hours limit because relative time is even to hour range. 40 Note: On older firmware versions, only 'Refresh' or 'Show' buttons are available, but they have the same behaviour. 41 Upgrade page Important!Do not enter this page if there is no need to upgrade TEW212APBO. Simply click on the "Reset" button, if no upgrade is necessary. Entering this page will put the device into UPGRADE mode. All of the device functions will be SUSPENDED. Once the device enters the UPGRADE mode, it can only be upgraded or rebooted. Hint: Because upgrade is done using the WEB management screen, all management pages still work, so it is still possible to configure TEW212APBO before rebooting it. Note: Upgrade function on WEB-base management supports ONLY from previous version firmware to later one which provide the same operational modes. Upgrade from 2. 00 AP version to 2. 01 AP version, or 2. 00 Station version to 2. 01 Station version. Figure 27: Upgrade page TEW-212APBO firmware is upgraded using the "Upgrade" page. In this page, the current firmware version is shown. If there is a need to update this 42 firmware, a valid firmware file must be selected first. Click on the "Browse" button to do this.
