Chapter 5: Managing the Wireless CPE
The initial association of the CPE with an access point must be performed at the client location.
However, once connected to the network, the CPE’s settings may be monitored and changed
from any computer on the same sub net.
From this remote computer, open the web browser and enter the CPE’s IP address as the URL.
You must know the
User Name
and
Password
for this CPE in order to log in and change the
settings.
Once logged- in, you may change anything except those items that affect the association of the
CPE with the rest of the network. If the association is lost, then you may only communicate with
the CPE from the local client computer.
These items may be easily changed:
Wireless Configuration:
Transmission Rate (to a lower value)
Access Point Density
Fragmentation Threshold
RTS Threshold – if the packet size is larger than this value, it will initiate the RTS/CTS function
Bandwidth Management:
Upstream Limit
Downstream Limit
Events Logging:
Device Name
Syslog Server IP Address
Syslog Mark Interval
Changes to all other items must be evaluated with respect to their effect upon device association.
After you have changed the item setting, press
Save
then
Reboot
.
