Figure 4 Back Label The rule of gateway SSID is Femto_Lite-xxxxxx where the last digits are the last 6 digits of the MAC address The PC will fetch IP address of range 192.168.4.x except 192.168.4.1 assigned by the AP. 4.2 Femto Lite Setting Open the web browser(ex:Chrome) after connect to the gateway via IP address 192.168.4.1 Now you can configure the gateway through the WEB UI. STEP 1 : SET WAN The gateway support either Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection as the internet backhaul. Figure 5 WAN connection STEP 1.1 Ethernet Setting Configure the IP address of WAN.[Static IP/DHCP client]
Figure 6 WAN connection ETHERNET STATUS The information of IP address/Subnet Mask/Gateway/DNS. ETHERNET SETTING - Configure the IP address of WAN.[Static IP/DHCP client]
Static IP Setup the IP address/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway/DNS of the static IP. Contact to the network administrator for the static IP address information. DHCP The IP address/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway/DNS will be assigned by the DHCP server. Figure 7 DHCP client STEP 1.2 Wi-Fi Select Wi-Fi to be the internet backhaul connection. The gateway WiFi interface is the Access Point by default which SSID is Femto_Lite-XXXXXX printed on the back label. Administrator can only access to the WEB UI through the Access Point mode to configure the gateway. The gateway will be the WiFi client and wont access to the WEB UI after enable WiFi interface as the internet backhaul connection. Figure 8 Wi-Fi connection MANUAL CONNECT Specify the remote AP SSID and enter the password if necessary. Click Join to accept or Cancel to abort. Figure 9 Wi-Fi manual connection The gateway will scan the neighbor access point automatically. Just click the SSID for the WiFi connection. Figure 10 Wi-Fi manual connection Enter WiFi password if it is necessary for the connection. Figure 11 Wi-Fi password Click Join to accept or Cancel to abort.
