RESET POWER ENGLISH Introduction

The N4100 combines an IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless access point, router, 4-port switch and service gateway in one box. A "statement printer" allows you to easily generate subscriber accounts and print account statements. You can connect it directly to the N4100. The subscriber is a client with authenticated access to the Internet through the N4100.

In this example, a computer connects to the N4100’s (a) LAN port for management. You also attach a RADIUS server for subscriber authentication and a statement printer (c) for statements printing. The

N4100 connects to a broadband modem (b), which then connects to the Internet. Wireless subscribers have seamless Internet access through the N4100.

In this guide, you will:

• Make Hardware Connections to set up your device. • Access the Web Configurator to use the Setup Wizard to configure the WAN connection, wireless settings, e-mail and authentication services, and set the billing profile on the N4100. You can also use the wizard to set how to generate accounts and print statements, and change the system password and time.

• Hang the N4100 on a wall.

Hardware Connections

This section shows you how to set up your N4100.

1. LAN 1~4: Use Ethernet cables to connect the LAN ports to computers, switches and a statement printer (optional).

2. WAN: Connect your broadband modem to this port with the Ethernet cable that came with your modem. 3. Attach the included antennas to the N4100. The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. 4. POWER: Connect the N4100's included power adaptor to the N4100's power socket.

Check the LEDs (Lights)

Look at the LEDs (lights) on the front panel of the N4100.

• The PWR light (LED) turns on.

• The WAN or LAN light turns on if its corresponding port is properly connected. The lights blink when the N4100 is sending or receiving data through the corresponding port. • The WLAN light stays green when the wireless LAN is enabled. It blinks when the N4100 is sending/receiving data through the wireless LAN. • The SYS light turns on once the N4100 is ready.

If no lights are on, check your connections. Make sure that you have the power adaptor connected to the N4100 and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on. Turn the N4100 off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on. If the LEDs are still off, contact your local vendor.

This section shows you how to access and log into the Web Configurator. 1. From the computer connected to the N4100, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. 2. Enter http://192.168.1.1 (the N4100’s default LAN IP address) in the browser’s address bar. 3. Enter admin as the default user name and 1234 as the default password. Click Login.

ENGLISH If the login screen does not display, make sure you allow web browser pop-up windows, JavaScript and Java permissions. Your computer should be also set to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. See the User’s

Guide for more information.

The wizard setup screens appear automatically after your first login. 1. Fill in the fields with information from your ISP. The screen varies depending on the encapsulation type you use. Leave fields set to the default if you don't have that information. If your ISP didn’t provide you any Internet access information, select DHCP Client.

If your ISP gave you an IP address (and gateway and DNS server addresses), select Static IP Setting and enter them.

If your ISP gave you a user name and password, select PPPoE.

ENGLISH If your ISP gave you a user name, password and IP address(es), select PPTP.

2. Enter a unique name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) as the ESSID to identify the N4100 in the wireless LAN.

Select a channel (range of radio frequencies) that is not being used by other wireless devices in the area. Select a security type and enter a key for data encryption. If you set Security to Disabled, any one within range can access your network wirelessly. WPA or WPA2 provides user authentication and data encryption. Data encryption of WPA or WPA2 is stronger than WEP's. The preshared key is case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and

symbols). Use the advanced wireless setup screen if you want to use

WPA or WPA2 with a RADIUS server (see the User's Guide for details). WEP provides data encryption only (no user authentication).

3. You can configure a backup e-mail server in the event that a subscriber's e-mail server is unreachable from the N4100.

4. Select Yes to be able to create and use subscriber accounts that are used to authenticate clients connecting to the Internet. This wizard configures authentication and accounting settings for the N4100's built-in local subscriber database. Use the advanced RADIUS setup screen to use an external RADIUS server instead (see the User's

5. Set the type of accounting to use. Set up Internet access time periods and their prices.

6. You can use a statement printer to generate subscriber accounts and print subscriber statements. If you do so, make sure that no other devices on your network use the same IP address as the printer

(192.168.1.7 by default). If you need to change the printer port number or IP address here, make sure you also change it in the printer, see the printer's user's guide for how to do this. You can alternatively generate subscriber accounts in the web-based account generator and print the statements on your regular printer.

7. Select a subscriber billing profile for each button on the "exclusive printer" (statement printer) or the web-based account generator. The billing profile defines the maximum Internet access time and charge per time unit.

Set how many copies of the subscriber statement to print. Click Customize printout text to tailor the subscriber statements. See the CUSTOMIZATION > Account Printout section in your User’s Guide for how to tailor what displays on the subscriber statements.

ENGLISH For the three button (statement) printer, click I want to setup... to also configure the web-based account generator settings.

Set the username and password for accessing the account generator.

Click Preview/Operate to open the account generator. The webbased account generator panel displays. Click one or more of the buttons to generate accounts.

Click View Account List to see the accounts you generated.

8. Change the N4100's management password and update the time.

You can also specify from which IP address the N4100 can be managed. Click Finish to save your changes and go back to the System Quick View screen.

ENGLISH Generating and Printing

Subscriber Account Statements If you have a statement printer connected and turned on, simply press the buttons to generate and print subscriber account statements. If you are using a PC-connected printer, do the following. 1. Launch your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 (as in the Web Configurator section). 2. Enter the web-based account generator user name and password that you configured in the wizard (see page 13). 3. Click the buttons in the screen to generate accounts. 4. The details of each new account display in a separate window. Click the Print button to print out the account statement.

Hardware Installation

In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better performance, mount the N4100 high up in a spot free of obstructions. Do not block the ventilation holes.

Wall-mounted Installation

1. Install the two included screws in the wall 80mm (3.15") apart. Do not screw the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap between the head of the screws and the wall. 2. Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the N4100 with the connection cables. 3. Hang the N4100 on the screws.
