Frequently Asked Questions - ZEW3002 Zonet

How do I log in to the ZEW3002 for the first time?

Connect your computer to the LAN port of ZEW3002 using an Ethernet cable. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.x (x between 1 and 253) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Open a web browser and go to 192.168.0.254. Enter the default username and password: admin / admin.

What are the supported wireless security modes?

The ZEW3002 supports 64/128-bit WEP (Open System or Shared Key), WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES), WPA2-PSK (AES), and WPA/WPA2 Mixed mode. Note that WDS bridge modes (P2P, P2MP, Repeater) only support WEP encryption.

How can I extend the wireless range using multiple ZEW3002 units?

You can use the WDS AP Repeater mode. Place a ZEW3002 in AP mode as the root, then configure other ZEW3002 units in Repeater mode. Enter the MAC addresses of the remote repeaters in the WDS remote AP MAC list. Only WEP encryption is supported in this mode.

Why can't I connect to the internet after setup?

First, power cycle your modem, ZEW3002, and computer. Wait 5 minutes. Ensure the ZEW3002's IP address is in the same subnet as your router. Log in to the ZEW3002 and check the System Status page to verify IP, gateway, and DNS. If needed, change the ZEW3002's LAN IP to match your network.

How do I reset the ZEW3002 to factory defaults?

With the device powered on, press and hold the Factory Default Reset button on the rear panel for about 5 seconds until the SYS LED lights up. Release the button and wait for the device to reboot. All settings will revert to defaults (IP: 192.168.0.254, username/password: admin/admin).

Can I use the ZEW3002 as a wireless client adapter?

Yes. Set the operating mode to Client. The ZEW3002 will associate with an existing wireless access point. Connect your wired device to the LAN port of the ZEW3002. Use the Scan feature to find and select the target AP, then enter the appropriate security credentials.

What is the difference between WDS P2P and WDS P2MP modes?

WDS P2P (Point-to-Point) Bridge connects two ZEW3002 units wirelessly to link two LANs. WDS P2MP (Point-to-Multipoint) Bridge allows one root ZEW3002 to connect up to six other ZEW3002 units (configured in P2P mode) to create a star topology. Both modes do not allow wireless client associations.

How do I upgrade the firmware on my ZEW3002?

Go to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade. Click Browse to select the firmware file (download from www.zonetusa.com). Click Apply. Do not power off the device during the upgrade. The device will reboot automatically after completion.

How can I prevent unauthorized wireless access?

Enable MAC Address Filtering under Radio Configuration > Access Filter. Set the filter mode to Allow and enter the MAC addresses of the devices you want to permit. Alternatively, set to Block to deny specific MACs. You can also disable SSID broadcast and use encryption (WPA2 recommended).

What should I do if the ZEW3002 becomes unresponsive?

Perform a hard reset by pressing the reset button for 5 seconds. If that fails, disconnect the power adapter for 10 seconds and reconnect. If the problem persists, try restoring factory defaults via the web interface or reset button, or upgrade the firmware.

5.2.4 WDS AP Repeater

A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two WLAN devices. Functioning as a WDS repeater, ZEW3002 connects to both a client card as an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs equipped with WDS functionality must also support WDS.

Figure below shows an example of a Repeater network with two ZEW3002 Repeaters connected to a ZEW3002 (AP mode), with each Repeater allowing wireless clients to associate.

Note: WDS AP Repeater mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3002 networking environment.

Chapter 7. Troubleshooting

- If you have trouble connecting to the Internet, try the following steps.

1. Power off the Cable/DSL modem, ZEW3002, and computer and wait for 5 minutes.
2. Turn on the Cable/DSL modem and wait for the lights on to settle down.
3. Turn on ZEW3002 and wait for the lights on to settle down.
4. Turn on the computer.
5. Reconfigure ZEW3002 as described in Chapter 4.
6. Login to ZEW3002 and select the System Status tab.
7. Verify the IP Address, Default Gateway, have valid numbers assigned to them.

- If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what should I do?

You should still configure ZEW3002 first. After all the settings are applied, go to the ZEW3002's configuration page, click on TCP/IP settings and change the IP address of ZEW3002 to match your network's IP.

Appendix I: Glossary

Access Point(AP): Any entity that has station functionality and provides access to the distribution services, via the wireless medium(WM) for associated stations.

Channel: An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.

SSID: Service Set identifier. An SSID is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network's SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.

WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use different method for key generation, it might not work for different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommend using.

WPA/WPA2: A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.
