1.  First, set the field of “Eth_IP_Address”, that is the IP 

address of this AP. You should make sure that the IP address 
is a valid address in your sub-net. 

2.  Set the field of “Eth_SubMask”, that is the sub-net mask of 

this sub-net. It should be the same with your sub-net. 

3.  Set the field of “Wirel_ESSID”, that is the Extended Service 

Set ID (ESSID) of this AP. All wireless stations want  to 
connect with this AP must have the same ESSID. 

4.  Set the field of “Wirel_Channel”, that is the channel that this 

service set using. If more than one service set on the same 
channel, they will equal-share the same access. And we 
recommend you that it’s better to depart from more than one 

channel for adjacent using channels, e.g. using channel 6 and 
channel 8 concurrently will be better for channel 6 and 
channel 7. 

After the above setting, the AP should work properly.
