Compex Systems 802.11N manual Bridge IP Address, Primary/Secondary DNS IP, Dhcp Fallback IP

Page 66

Bridge IP Address:

The device can be set for static IP or can be set to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server it is connected to. One of the IP assignment modes must be selected:

DHCP : choose this option to assign the dynamic IP address, Gateway and DNS address by the local DHCP server.

STATIC : choose this option to assign the static IP settings for the bridge interface.

IP Address: enter the IP address of the device while Static Bridge IP Address mode is selected. This IP will be used for the device management purposes.

IP Address and Netmask settings should consist with the address space of the network segment where device resides. If the device IP settings and administrator PC (which is connected to the device in wired or wireless way) IP settings will use different address space, the device will become unreachable.

Netmask: This is a value which when expanded into binary provides a mapping to define which portions of IP address groups can be classified as host devices and network devices.

Netmask defines the address space of the network segment where device

resides. 255.255.255.0 (or /24) Netmask is commonly used among many C Class IP networks.

Gateway IP: Typically, this is the IP address of the host router which provides the point of connection to the internet. This can be a DSL modem, Cable modem, or a WISP gateway router. Device will direct the packets of data to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network. Gateway IP address should be from same address space (on same network segment) as the device.

Primary/Secondary DNS IP:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet "phone book" which translates domain names to IP addresses. These fields identify the server IP addresses of where the device looks for the translation source.

Primary DNS server IP address should be specified for the device management purposes. Secondary DNS server IP address is optional. It is used as the fail-over in case the primary DNS server will become unresponsive.

DHCP Fallback IP:

In case the Bridge is placed in Dynamic IP Address mode (DHCP) and is unable to obtain an IP address from a valid DHCP server, it will fall back to the static IP address listed here. In case the IP settings of the devices are unknown, they can be access with the help of the UConfig utility.

The UConfig Utility should be started on the administrator PC which resides on the same network segment as the device.

Device will return to the default IP configuration (192.168.168.1/255.255.255.0) if the Reset to defaults routine is initiated.

802.11N specifications

Compex Systems 802.11N solutions are designed to provide high-performance wireless networking, catering to the growing demand for faster and more reliable connectivity in various applications. The 802.11N standard, also known as Wi-Fi 4, significantly enhances the capabilities of previous Wi-Fi standards by utilizing advanced technologies and features.

One of the key characteristics of Compex Systems 802.11N products is their support for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. MIMO allows the transmission of multiple data streams simultaneously, effectively improving throughput and range. This is especially useful in environments with high user density or physical obstructions, as it enhances the signal quality and minimizes interference.

Another significant feature is the use of Channel Bonding, which combines two adjacent channels to double the data rate. This capability enables users to experience higher speeds, typically reaching up to 600 Mbps under optimal conditions. The dual-band operation, supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, further enhances flexibility and performance. The 2.4 GHz band offers broader coverage, while the 5 GHz band provides faster speeds with less congestion.

Compex Systems also incorporates advanced security protocols in their 802.11N solutions. With support for WPA2 encryption and robust authentication methods, users can ensure that their connections remain secure, protecting sensitive data from potential threats.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical feature, allowing network administrators to prioritize traffic according to application needs. This ensures that bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video streaming and online gaming, receive the necessary resources for optimal performance, even in a crowded network environment.

Designed for versatility, Compex Systems 802.11N devices can be employed in various scenarios, including enterprise, education, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. Their compact and durable designs make them suitable for deployment in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Overall, Compex Systems 802.11N solutions offer a comprehensive set of features and technologies aimed at providing robust, high-speed wireless connectivity. With MIMO, Channel Bonding, dual-band support, enhanced security, and QoS capabilities, these systems are well-suited to meet the demands of modern wireless networking environments.
