NOTE: Some models may only support the NA (5GHz) option.

Channel Spectrum Width

The user can select the operation channel width. 20/40M lets the units determine the best channel width with the maximum 40MHz as an option under good RF conditions. One may want to choose 20MHz for noisy or congested RF environments. Options available are 20/40M, 20M, and 10M.

Guard Interval This represents the guard interval between packets. The options are Short and Long. The Long option is recommended for links greater than 2Km in distance.

Channel Frequency

Auto is enabled by default. When Auto is unchecked, the user can select from a number of frequencies available from the drop down list. When Auto is checked and during boot up, the AP will select the operational channel with least interference.

Select Button When pressed, a pop up screen comes up like the one below:

5745 MHz 5765 MHz 5785 MHz 5805 MHz 5825 MHz

This allows the user to select which frequencies the AP will scan for during reboot and when Auto mode is checked/enabled.

Interference Analyzer Button

When pressed, will generate a pop up window showing all the detected AP signals like the image below:

Transmit Power This section will set the RF transmit power. The maximum RF power available will be limited in software based on the gain of the integrated antenna and the region the unit was programmed to operate in. The default will set the unit to maximum allowed RF power. Here the user can reduce the RF power in case the RX RSSI levels on the remote unit exceed 65.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.3.2 WIRELESS SETTINGS-AP Page WIRELESS SECURITY Section

Security Here the end user can select the wireless security mode. Options available are None, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1x port-based security. 802.1x is for secure user-based authentication through a centralized authentication server.
WPA Authentication	Options here will set the authentication depending on the security selected above. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the default for WPA/WPA2 security. EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP are the two authentication methods for 802.1x security. NOTE: Operating with 802.1x security will limit link throughput to a maximum of 54Mbps.
Cipher Type Options for WPA/WPA2 are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which uses the RC4 encryption algorithm and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is the default setting and is the recommended cipher allowing the highest link throughput. TKIP will limit throughput to a maximum of 54Mbps.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

Pre-shared Key (For use with WPA security) Here an alpha-numeric between 8 and 63 character long pre-shared key can be entered.

Identity (For use with 802.1x security) identification credential and be entered here to be used by the WPA supplicant for EAP authentication.

User Name (For use with 802.1x security) Identification credential used by the APA supplicant for EAP - tunnelled authentication in an unencrypted form.

User Password (For use with 802.1x security) Password credential used by the WPA supplicant for EAP authentication.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.3.3 WIRELESS SETTINGS-AP Page LONG RANGE PARAMETERS Section

Long Range Parameters	Check box to enable long range parameters. This is enabled and set to 1000m by default. 1000m should meet a majority of the system link distances but if the link distance goes beyond 1000m, this section will need to be adjusted on both ends of the link - see Distance and the Calculate Button section below.
Beacon interval	Defines the time interval (in ms) between AP beacon broadcasts. Not recommended to change the default 100ms setting.
RTS Threshold	RTS (Request to Send) threshold. This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. The default is 2346 with the valid range of 0-2346.There are several trade-offs to consider setting this parameter. Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of the available bandwidth potentially reducing the throughput of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference or collisions -- as would be the case in a wireless network with interference.
Fragmentation Threshold	Default is 2346 with a valid range is 256-2346. This parameter sets the threshold where the wireless transmission will fragment any packet if the packet size exceeds the threshold value. This setting/rule will not apply to broadcast and multicast packets.
Distance and the Calculate Button	Distance in meters that will be used to calculate Slot time, ACK timeout and CTS timeout. The default is 1000 meters but this value should be increased if the link distance goes beyond 1000m. Settings above 4000m will gradually start to affect link throughput. Once the distance value has been entered, press the Calculate button. This will update the Slot time, ACK Timeout, and CTS Timeout fields. Once these have been updated, press the Apply Settings button.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.3.4 WIRELESS SETTINGS-AP Page RSSI LED INDICATOR Section

This section allows the user to set the LED threshold for the RSSI Indicating LEDs.

Note: LED1 on this page is not brought out on the external LED label, LED2 corresponds to Ethernet/RSSI2 on the LED label, LED3 corresponds to RSSI3, and LED4 corresponds to Status/RSSI4.

8.4.1 WIRELESS SETTINGS-Client Page BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGS Section

Note: Any settings changes made on this page will require selecting the 'Save' pop up button then the 'Apply Settings' button.

Wireless Mode The user can select either Access Point or Client mode of operation.

Remote AP-ESSID Remote Access point SSID can be entered here.

Site Survey Button When pressed, will generate a pop up screen showing all the potential APs that it can connect to like the image below:

Scanned channels: 5745 5765 5785 5805 5825

MAC address	ESSID	Encryption	ALG	Signal, dBm	Channel	Frequency
00:22:3b:0d:00:19	Netwave-1	WPA2-PSK	AES	40	149	5745

00:22:3b:01:6c:59	Netwave-Eng2	WPA2-PSK	AES	67	161	5805

NOTE: If there is an AP you wish to connect to, just double click on the desired AP line this window will close and auto populate the Remote AP-SSID box and the Remote AP-Lock to MAC address box.

Country Code A country of operation can be selected from the pull down.

NOTE: for the FCC version, only United States will be in the list while countries participating in the ETSI harmonized standards will populate this list for the ETSI version.

Wireless Profile Select either NA or NG operation. NA is 802.11a and 802.11n (5GHz operation). NG is 802.11g and 802.11n (2.4GHz operation). NOTE - some models may only support the NA (5GHz) option.

Channel Spectrum Width The user can select the operation channel width. 20/40M lets the units determine the best channel width with the maximum 40MHz as an option under good RF conditions. One may want to choose 20MHz for noisy or congested RF environments. Options available are 20/40M, 20M, and 10M.

Guard Interval This represents the guard interval between packets. The options are Short and Long. The Long option is recommended for links greater than 2Km in distance.

Transmit Power This section will set the RF transmit power. The maximum RF power available will be limited in software based on the gain of the integrated antenna and the region the unit was programmed to operate in. The default will set the unit to maximum RF power and here the user can reduce the RF power in case the RX RSSI levels on the remote unit exceed 65.

Channel Scan List When enabled, the client will only scan the channels selected.

Select Channels When this button is pressed, a new client scan window will pop up shown below:

5745 MHz 5765 MHz 5785 MHz 5805 MHz 5825 MHz

Select all

Close this window

Here the user can select which channels the client will scan. This can reduce link lock times if the desired AP is fixed to a known frequency.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.4.2 WIRELESS SETTINGS-Client Page WIRELESS SECURITY Section

Security Here the end user can select the wireless security mode. Options available are None, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1x port-based security. 802.1x is for secure user-based authentication through a centralized authentication server.
WPA Authentication	Options here will set the authentication depending on the security selected above. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the default for WPA/WPA2 security. EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP are the two authentication methods for 802.1x security.Note: Operating with 802.1x security will limit link throughput to a maximum of 54Mbps.
Cipher Type Options for WPA/WPA2 are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which uses the RC4 encryption algorithm and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is the default setting and is the recommended cipher allowing the highest link throughput. TKIP will limit throughput to a maximum of 54Mbps.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

Pre-shared Key (For use with WPA security) Here an alpha-numeric between 8 and 63 character long pre-shared key can be entered.

Identity (For use with 802.1x security) identification credential and be entered here to be used by the WPA supplicant for EAP authentication.

User Name (For use with 802.1x security) Identification credential used by the APA supplicant for EAP - tunnelled authentication in an unencrypted form.

User Password (For use with 802.1x security) Password credential used by the WPA supplicant for EAP authentication.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.4.3 WIRELESS SETTINGS-Client Page LONG RANGE PARAMETERS Section

Long Range Parameters	Check box to enable long range parameters. This is enabled and set to 1000m by default. 1000m should meet a majority of the system link distances but if the link distance goes beyond 1000m, this section will need to be adjusted on both ends of the link - see Distance and the Calculate Button section below.
Beacon interval	Defines the time interval (in ms) between AP beacon broadcasts. Not recommended to change the default 100ms setting.
RTS Threshold	RTS (Request to Send) threshold. This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. The default is 2346 with the valid range of 0-2346.There are several trade-offs to consider setting this parameter. Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of the available bandwidth potentially reducing the throughput of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference or collisions -- as would be the case in a wireless network with interference.
Fragmentation Threshold	Default is 2346 with a valid range is 256-2346. This parameter sets the threshold where the wireless transmission will fragment any give packet if the packet size exceeds the threshold value. This setting/rule will not apply to broadcast and multicast packets.
Distance and the Calculate Button	Distance in meters that will be used to calculate Slot time, ACK timeout and CTS timeout. The default is 1000 meters but this value should be increased if the link distance goes beyond 1000m. Settings above 4000m will gradually start to affect link throughput. Once the distance value has been entered, press the Calculate button. This will update the Slot time, ACK Timeout, and CTS Timeout fields. Once these have been updated, press the Apply Settings button.

Remember to select Apply Settings if any changes were made.

8.4.4 WIRELESS SETTINGS-Client Page RSSI LED INDICATOR Section

This section allows the user to set the LED threshold for the RSSI Indicating LEDs.

Note: LED1 on this page is not brought out on the external LED label, LED2 corresponds to Ethernet/RSSI2 on the LED label, LED3 corresponds to RSSI3, and LED4 corresponds to Status/RSSI4.
