NETWORK OPERATION MODE:
The default is for operation mode
to be set to BRIDGE. A bridge passes all network traffic between the
wireless and Ethernet ports of the device. This is the most common
use. The EZ-Base can also be set to ROUTER mode. In Router Mode
there is a built in firewall and NAT that blocks traffic. If in AP mode and
set to router then inbound Ethernet traffic is firewalled and to access the
device you need to access thru the wireless side. If in Client Mode and
set to router, the firewall is on the wireless side so inbound wireless
traffic is routed thru the firewall. To access the device you need to be
connected thru the Ethernet port.

SECURITY:
Security is not configured by default. After you get the
system working the way you want, we recommend assigning adminis-
trator user name and password and also setting wireless security by
changing the encryption settings. WPA (AES) is the most advanced
security type and is recommended for most WDS or Point to Point ap-
plications. Because most WiFi clients don’t support WPA encryption,
use WEP if setting up a WiFi AP hotspot.

SITE SURVEY:
The site survey is a very useful tool to determine
what wireless devices are within range of your
EZ-Base™ and could be
a source of interference that could cause degraded performance. Go to
WIRELESS and then click on SITE SURVEY then REFRESH. The list
will show all wireless devices including channel #, MAC Address and
relative signal strength of all the devices within the range of the EZ-
Base™ .

FACTORY DEFAULTS
: If at any time the system stops working be-
cause of changes made to the settings, you can get back to the original
settings by resetting to factory defaults. Go to ADMIN | Reset Settings
to Defaults. Any customized settings will be lost once this process is
initiated.
If you cannot access the web page on the unit you can do a manual
reset. Open the cover of unit. Power up the unit, wait 2 mins, press and
hold the black reset button for 15secs, release and wait 2 mins for re-
boot.
