Daylight saving time 

Setting 

Description 

Factory Default 

Enable/ Disble 

Daylight saving time (DST or summer time) involves advancing 
clocks (usually 1 hour) during the summer time to provide an 
extra hour of daylight in the afternoon. 

Disable 

When 

Daylight saving time 

is enabled, the following parameters will be shown: 

 

Starts at: 

The date that daylight saving time begins. 

 

Stops at: 

The date that daylight saving time ends. 

 

Time offset: 

Indicates how many hours forward the clock should be advanced. 

Time server 1/2 

Setting 

Description 

Factory Default 

IP/Name of Time 
Server 1/2 

IP or Domain name of the NTP time server. The 2nd NTP server 
will be used if the 1st NTP server fails to connect. 

time.nist.gov 

Time sync interval 

Setting 

Description 

Factory Default 

Time interval for NTP 
server synchronization 
(600 to 9999 seconds) 

This parameter determines how often the time is synchronized 
from the NTP server. 

600 (seconds) 

Wireless LAN Setup 

The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL provides the AP/client mode for point-to-multipoint communication. 

AP/client: 

The IP-Bridging mechanism is used to overcome limitations of the 802.11 standards. In this case, 

the MAC address of the devices connected to the client radio will be replaced with the client’

s MAC address. 

Under AP/client modes, communication problems might be encountered when you have a MAC authenticated 
system or MAC (Layer 2) based communication. In this case, you will need to change the network to use the 
master/slave operation mode. 

Sniffer: 

In order to provide an easier way for our customers to analyze wireless traffic, the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL 

supports a “Sniffer” mode to co

-work with Wireshark packet sniffer software. 

NOTE 

Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation

the Client can only transmit 

IP-based packets between its wireless interface (WLAN) and Ethernet interface (LAN); other types of traffic 
(such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded. 

 

Operation Mode 

The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL supports three operation modes

AP, Client, and Sniffer

each of which plays a distinct 

role on the wireless network.
