Chapter 4: Basic Settings

Basic Settings

•Device Name: Specify the device name, which is composed of no more than 15 characters with (0-9), (A-Z), (a-z), or (-).

•Network Mode: Specify the network mode, including Bridge and Router. It is easy to configure parameters in Bridge Mode; however, users must pay extra attention to the way they configure the device when it is set to Router Mode. For details, please refer to “TCP/IP Settings” below.

•Ethernet Data Rate: Specify the transmission rate of data for Ethernet. The default is “Auto.”

•Country Region: Available specific channels and/or operational frequency bands depend on the country where the extender is used.

•Spanning Tree: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol for AP that provides path redundancy while preventing loops in a network. STP allows only one active path at a time between the access points, but establishes the redundant link as a backup if the initial link fails.

•STP Forward Delay: STP Forward Delay is the time spent in detecting and learning network tree topology state before entering the forward state. The default time value is 1 sec.

•GPS Coordinate Settings: The GPS Coordinate Setting marks the latitude and longitude of the extender. Enter the coordinates and click the “Apply” button.

TCP/IP Settings

Open “TCP/IP Settings” in “System” as shown in Figure 4-4 to configure the parameters for the LAN that connects to the extender’s LAN port. In this page, users may change the settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server.

Obtain IP Address Automatically: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this option. This enables the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender to obtain IP settings automatically from that DHCP server.
