Chapter 4 Configuration Page 14 Chapter 4 Configuration Connect the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port of PoE injector in one side and in LAN port of PC in the other side. Power on the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE by PoE from PoE injector. 1. Assign a static IP address to your PC which should be in the same network segment with the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE. As the default IP address of the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE is 192.168.1.1, you may choose from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Then click OK. 2. Open the web browser on your PC, key in the IP address (192.168.1.1) of the Chapter 4 Configuration Page 15 IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE in the address bar, and then enter. 3. Now, you will see the log-in page of the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE. The default name and password are admin and password respectively. Enter them and then click Login.

* Since the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE covers AP mode as well as CPE mode, the following steps are categorized for convenience reading to describe how to set each mode after successful log-in. AP Mode 1. Choose Wireless > Basic Settings. Then you will see the Wireless Basic Settings page. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 16 The default is AP mode already. Here, you can set the parameters to optimize your application, or you can leave them as the default. Click Apply to save the parameters. Note: In the example here, we only change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) as Join_me, and later, we will show you if AP mode works correctly. In addition, for better coverage of the AP, you may also use an external antenna; if so, remember to set the antenna setting from Internal (8 dBi) to External (N-Type) after your external antenna is successfully installed. 2. Choose Security Settings in the left column, and here comes the Security Settings page. You may set the parameters like Authentication and Encryption for more secure network communication in your application. Click Apply to save the parameters. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 17 The following screenshot shows the available access points in the wireless network from another PC aside. Now, you can see Join_me in the list. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 18 CPE Mode 1. Choose Wireless > Basic Settings. Then you will see the Wireless Basic Settings page. Choose Wireless Client from Wireless Mode, and click Apply to save it. Feel free to change the other parameters to optimize your application before clicking Apply. Note: For longer transmission of the CPE, you may also use an external antenna; if so, remember to set the antenna setting from Internal (8 dBi) to External (N-Type) after your external antenna is successfully installed. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 19 2. Click Site Survey, and a Wireless Site Survey window will pop up. The window lists all the available access points / routers in the wireless network. Select the one you prefer to connect to, and click Selected to build the connection. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 20 3. If the AP you connect to needs authentication or password, click Security Settings in the left column, fill out the corresponding items, and click Apply to build the connection;

otherwise, the connection is already built. Chapter 4 Configuration Page 21 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 1. Why cant I go to the log-in page, while I key in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the web browser?

A: Make sure that the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE is correctly connected with you PC, and powered on already. Then make sure that the IP address of your PC is set in the same network segment with the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE, which means that the IP address of your PC should be between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.255. 2. In the CPE mode, the quality of the connection is bad or unstable after choosing an available access point to connect to. How can I solve it?

A: Since the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE comes with the built-in directional antenna, you should turn the IEEE802.11n Wireless CPE to face the direction where the access point you connect to is located to get the best quality of the connection. In addition, you can also click Site Survey in the Wireless Basic Settings window to see the Signal Strength. If it is weak or unstable (the smaller the number is, the weaker the signal strength is; please note that the signal strength comes with a native sign with the numbers.), please choose another available access point or router for better connection.
