1. Introduction
This manual is to summarize how to perform basic configuration for the Altai A2n
Access Point/Bridge through web-admin interface.
2. A2n Model and Firmware Version

This manual is applicable for the following models, hardware and firmware versions:
Product name
: A2n Access Point/Bridge

Hardware Platform
Firmware Version
V1.2
1.2.4.x
Table 2-1 A2n model
3. Getting Started
3.1. Setup Local Area Connection on Your PC
A2n Access Point can be connected to your PC in wired mode or in wireless mode. In
the following, wired mode will be introduced. This is because the configurations are
similar in wireless mode, except SSID has to be configured in both A2n Access
Point/Bridge and PC.
A2n Access Point/Bridge can be connected to your PC directly or by a switch or a
hub.
Start Network Configuration on your PC.
For Windows XP user,
1. Click the start menu and choose Control Panel.
2. Click Network Connections.
TPS13-001_rev1.0
Figure 3-1 Control Panel in Windows XP

3. Right-click the Local Area Connection and select Properties.
Figure 3-2 Network Connections in Windows XP
TPS13-001_rev1.0
4. After clicking Properties, you will see the diagram as below.
Figure 3-3 Local Area Connection Properties in Windows XP
5. Mark the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

6. Type in an IP address, for example, 192.168.1.2, which is under the same
subnet as the Default IP Address of A2n Access Point/Bridge (192.168.1.222).
7. Using the default Subnet mask (default: 255.255.255.0) setting in the first time.
8. Keep the Default gateway as Blank.
9. Keep the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server as Blank also.
10. Click OK when you finish setting and close the Window.
TPS13-001_rev1.0
Figure 3-4 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties in Windows XP
3.2. Check Access

Ping utility of Command Prompt is a handy tool to check the access to the A2n
Access Point.
1. Go to the Command Prompt by typing cmd in Run.
2. Type command:
Ping 192.168.1.222
The A2n Access Point shall respond to your ping request if A2n Access Point and
your PC have a correct connection.
NOTE: Using the same PC to ping different A2n Access Point may cause ping failure.
This is because A2n Access Point has the same default IP address but different MAC
addresses. You need to type command arp d in Command Prompt to clear ARP
table on PC before each ping.
3.3. Configuration with Web-Admin

The A2n can be accessed through a Web Browser, for example, Internet Explorer
(IE).
1)
Open an IE session and type the IP address of the A2n Access Point. Example:
http://192.168.1.222 or https://192.168.1.222, where 192.168.1.222 is the A2ns
IP address. The default IP Address is 192.168.1.222.
TPS13-001_rev1.0
2)
A window will pop up, as shown in Figure 3-5. Enter the user name and
password in the corresponding fields, which are the same as for the CLI. The
default User Name and Password are shown in Table 3-1. They are case
sensitive.
3)
Other level account for only view is shown in Table3-1 also. With this view only
account, the user only can view the configuration of A2 but no change right.

NTP is a network time protocol for the A2n Access Point to synchronize the system time.
NTP is disabled by default. If NTP is needed, IP address of the NTP server must be
added and A2n will synchronize with the NTP server. It is useful to maintain the
network and make sure all APs are using the same system time by setting the same
NTP server.
Please select Configuration -> System to configure NTP setting.

In Gateway mode, the A2n Access Point acts as a gateway. The Local IP Address
and Local IP Address Mask information must be provided to specify the IP address
used to communicate to the wireless client locally (i.e. IP address for 2.4GHz radio
interface). The A2n would use another IP address to communicate to the outside
network (i.e. IP address for Ethernet interface). If a wireless client sends a packet to
the outside network, the packet would send to the A2n Access Point with its local IP
address in the local network. Then, the A2n Access Point will pass this packet to the
outside network (Ethernet) using its remote IP address.

Max Tx/Rx StreamsMaximum number of transmit streams/receive streams in 11n

Beacon IntervalDefault setting is 256 ms (equivalent to 10 beacons per second).
The amount of time between A2n Access Point beacon transmissions for each
TPS13-001_rev1.0
supported BSS, with each BSS using the same beacon interval. The beacon interval
can be configured between 40 and 3500 ms.
DTIMDefault setting is 1. DTIM Interval, always a multiple of the beacon period,
determines how often the beacon contains a traffic indicator map (TIM). The TIM
alerts clients in sleep state to stay awake long enough to receive their data frames.
The value range is from 1 to 255.
Fragmentation ThresholdDefault setting is 2346 bytes. The fragmentation threshold,
specified in bytes, determines whether data packets will be fragmented and at what
size. Frames that are smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value will not
be fragmented. Frames that are larger than the fragmentation threshold will be
fragmented into smaller packets and transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at
once. The setting must be within the range of 256 to 2346 bytes. It is recommended
to use the default value or only minor reductions of this default value.
Protection ModeDefault setting is "None". If set to "CTS-Only" then when protection is
turned on and prior to the transmission of an 802.11g frame, the AP sends out a CTS
frame (also known as CTS-to-Self) to set the NAV in all the clients so that they will not
transmit during the time period of the subsequent data packet from the AP. If set to
"RTS-CTS" then the AP sends a RTS frame, waits for the clients CTS frame and then
sends the data packet. Setting "RTS-CTS" will allow more robust operation, but at the
expense of additional overheads.
Protection Rate: The
RTS/CTS ThresholdIf a frame is smaller than the RTS/CTS threshold, it will be sent by
the AP without modification. If a frame is larger than the RTS/CTS threshold, then two
frames will be sent by the AP. The first frame is an RTS (request to send) frame. After
the RTS frame is sent, the AP listens for the corresponding CTS from the target client.
Upon reception of the CTS, the AP then sends the data frame. There are trade-offs
when considering what value you should set for the RTS/CTS threshold. Smaller values
will cause RTS to be sent more often, increasing overheads. However, the more often
RTS packets are sent, the sooner the system can recover from collisions. It is
recommended to use the default value or only minor reductions of this default value.
The value range is from 0 to 2347.
DistanceTarget area distance.
IGMP SnoopingAP is a Layer 2 device when it is configured as Switch mode.
However, IGMP Snooping implementation on AP is a little bit different than that of
standard Layer 2 Switch.
Each Virtual AP (VAP) port is similar to a Layer 2 switch port. With IGMP Snooping
enabled in the AP, clients associated to a VAP will only receive multicast packets if
there is at least one client joined the multicast group in that VAP. Unlike ordinary IGMP
Snooping implementation, where Layer 2 switch converts multicast to unicast and
delivers them to devices registered with the multicast group, AP should simply send
TPS13-001_rev1.0
out the multicast packets from the VAP which has at least one client joined the
multicast group. This is done because the wireless media is a broadcast media. It
does not need to be sent multiple times when there are more than one registered
clients.
When IGMP Snooping is turned on, multicast packets should be dropped at the VAP
exit if there is no client from the VAP who has joined the corresponding multicast
group.
The IGMP snooping forwarding table (port and multicast MAC address mapping table)
should support aging mechanism to age out the entry which has no multicast traffic
for a period of time (120 seconds in A2n).
