2-5. Use of Radio Waves

Notes on Usage

Do not use BR-310AC near the following devices or places.

  • Microwave, scientific instruments, pacemaker or other medical equipment, etc.
  • Licensed radio station in a factory
  • Small power radio station (A non-licensed radio station)

These devices may use the same band. If you use BR-310AC near these devices, the radio waves emitted from BR-310AC may interfere with them.

Do not use BR-310AC near a cellular phone, TV or Radio.

A cellular phone, TV and radio use a different radio band than our products. Generally, if they are used near BR-310AC, it will not cause any problems. However, when they approximate BR-310AC, sound or image noise may occur.

If there is reinforced concrete/metal between wireless devices, they may not connect.

BR-310AC can connect through wood or glass, but may have troubles connecting through reinforced concrete/metal.

BR-310AC complies with the certification of conformance to technical standards. Please pay attention to the following points:

  • Please do not disassemble or remodel the product. Such action is prohibited by law.
  • Please do not remove the certificate label. Using the product without a label is prohibited.

Wireless devices using 2.4GHz band

The same frequency band of BR-310AC is used for a microwave, industry, science, medical equipment and licensed in room or low power (non-licensed) radio stations.

  • Before you use BR-310AC, check that it does not interfere with other devices.
  • If interference occurs, stop using BR-310AC or change the wireless band. Please consider to create a wall between these devices to avoid interference. Contact us for possible solution.

4: The range of interference is equal to or lower than 40m.

Silex BR-310AC - Wireless devices using 2.4GHz band - 2

Notes on using 5GHz band

  • Use of 5.2GHz band (W52) and 5.3GHz band (W53) outdoors is prohibited by the radio regulations. Use only W56 channels then.
  • BR-310AC does not support Ad hoc mode at 5GHz band.

Please use it in Infrastructure mode then.

2-6. Notes on Security

Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a network cable to establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing devices to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, and if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.

  • Communication is intercepted by a third party
  • Unauthorized access to the network
  • Leakage of personal information (ID and Card information)
  • Spoofing and the falsification of intercepted data
  • System crashes and data corruption

Nowadays, wireless LAN cards or access points are equipped with security measures that address such security problems, so that you can enable security-related settings for wireless LAN products in order to reduce the likelihood of problems occurring.

We recommend that you make yourself fully acquainted with the possible implications of what might happen if you use a wireless product without enabling security features, and that you configure security-related settings and use wireless products at your own responsibility.

A-2. Troubleshooting

This section provides the solutions for possible troubles you may experience when you are configuring or using the BR-310AC.

My Access Point is not displayed in the Wireless Network List of the Web configuration interface.

The Access Point may not be active.
SolutionPlease check that the Access Point is operating correctly.
The Access Point may be operating in a stealth mode.
SolutionConfigure the detailed settings of the wireless network at Detailed Configuration of the Web configuration interface to connect to the Access Point. Remember that Access Points operating in a stealth mode will not be displayed in the list.
Too many wireless devices may be operating, exceeding the maximum number of devices the BR-310AC can show on (up to 32 devices).
SolutionUp to 32 wireless devices can be displayed at Wireless Network List.To show your Access Point in the list, use SSID Filter so that only the specified networks are displayed there.Even when the Access Point is not displayed in the list, it can be connected by configuring the wireless settings at Detailed Configuration of the Web configuration interface.

I failed to connect to a wireless network using Smart Wireless Setup.

The WPS feature may be disabled on the Access Point.
SolutionCheck that the Access Point supports the WPS feature.Depending on the Access Point, you may need to manually enable the WPS feature. For details, see the operating manual that came with your Access Point.
The SSID Filter may be enabled on the BR-310AC.
SolutionDisable the SSID Filter at Detailed Configuration of the Web configuration interface. If the SSID Filter is enabled, configuration using Smart Wireless Setup does not work.

A LAN port error has occurred (POWER LED: Blinks rapidly, WLAN LED: OFF, STATUS LED: ON).

The bridge feature may be aborted as the non-wireless device is unplugged and changed to the other device on the LAN port.
SolutionRestart the BR-310AC.In Single Client Mode, if the non-wireless device is unplugged and changed to the other device, BR-310AC will abort bridging of that device, taking such occurrence as an error.Also, when the MAC address filtering is used to restrict the devices to bridge, you will need to change the setting registered to Network Device Address.This error does not occur in Multi-Client Mode. The restart is not required then.
Several devices may have been connected to the BR-310AC using a HUB, though it is operating in Single Client Mode.
SolutionIn Single Client Mode, connect only one device to the LAN port of BR-310AC. To use several devices, use Multi-Client Mode.

I cannot access the non-wireless device connected to a LAN port of the BR-310AC.

The BR-310AC or non-wireless device may not be operating correctly.
SolutionPlease check the LED status on BR-310AC. Please also check that the non-wireless device is properly powered on.
The connection may be restricted by the MAC address filtering on BR-310AC.
SolutionSee the setting at Network Device Address to check that access of the connected device is not restricted by the MAC address filtering.

The connection to the non-wireless device is lost.

The connection may be timed out.
SolutionIf the connected non-wireless device is idle and no communication occurs from it for 5 mins, BR-310AC automatically cuts a link with it. To recover the communication, try to do anything that can cause communication packets on the non-wireless device. For the connection not to be timed out again, it is recommended to disable the sleep mode on the non-wireless device.(Example) If the connected non-wireless device is a printer and the printer has turned into a sleep mode, printing will become unavailable as BR-310AC will disconnect a link with the printer.To get printing ready again, wake up the printer from a sleep mode using the control panel on it to make a communication from the printer to BR-310AC.

The imported IEEE802.1X certificate cannot be deleted.

It is impossible to delete the imported certificate only.
SolutionTo delete the imported certificate, initialize the BR-310AC.NOTE:The imported certificate is validated only when it is used.Even if you keep the certificate, it has no impact on the authentication process since the imported certificate is used only with the compatible authentication method.
