ACCESS POINT FEATURES
essid
: This field is used to name a wireless LAN group when in StructureNet mode. If the roaming is to be
supported, the value of ESS_ID of all the APs should be the same.
Default: wlan
ap_name
: This field is a string up to 9 letters and is used to give SWL-2000AP an identifier name. This is
useful if you have multiple APs on a network for roaming. In that case the essid for all APs should be same
but ap_name for each AP should be different.
Default: LocalAP
mode
: This field specifies the operating mode of the unit. Insert the “Instawave” for <Peer-to-Peer> and the
“StructureNet” for <StrectureNet>.
Default: StructureNet
protocol
: The normal mode of an AP is to pass all protocols. In this case the value of default protocol should
be “all”. If your wireless station uses TCP/IP protocol only, you can set the value of protocols to “TCP/IP”.
In this case, non TCP/IP messages are not passed by the AP.
Default: All
•
TCP/IP PARAMETERS
IP_address
: This field is used to assign a TCP/IP address to the AP and needed when a user manages the AP
by TELNET or uses web manager utilities. A user can access management utilities for the AP by putting in
the assigned IP address on TELNET or WEB BROWSER.
Default: 0.0.0.0
(No IP address assigned)
subnet_mask
: This field is used to define the TCP/IP sub-net mask. This field should be set if you plan to
use the built in management features of the AP.
Default: 255.255.255.0
gateway
: This field is needed to connect to an external network using the TCP/IP protocol. SWL-2000AP
stores all the IP addresses received from TCP/IP ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) message. If the
destination is an IP address instead of a local network, the packets are sent to a gateway.
Default: 0.0.0.0 (no gateway)
•
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
password
: This field allows the manager to define the password used by the Command Line Manager before
they can enter commands.
Default: “default”
telnet
: This field enables or disables the built TELNET management capability. This field will not affect a
terminal attached via the serial port, which is always enabled when a terminal is attached. You can select
either “on” or “off” to enable or disable it.
Default: on
