Configuration Management

Backup Configuration: click Download button to export the current configuration to a file.

Upload Configuration: click Browse button to navigate to and select the new configuration file or specify the full path to the configuration file location.

Activating the Upload button will transfer new configuration file to the system.

New configuration will be effective after the Apply button is activated and system reboot cycle is completed. Previous system configuration is deleted after Apply button is activated. It is highly recommended to backup the system configuration before uploading the new configuration.

Use only configuration backups of the same type device - configuration backed up from PowerStation2 suits only PowerStation2, but not LiteStation2 or LiteStation5! Behavior may be unpredictable when mixing configurations from different type devices.

Device Maintenance

The controls in this section are dedicated for the device maintenance routines: rebooting, resetting, generating of the support information report.

Reboot: activate Reboot control in order to initiate full reboot cycle of the device. Reboot effect is the same as the hardware reboot which is similar to the power off - power on cycle. The system configuration is not modified after the reboot cycle completes. Any non-applied changes will be lost.

Reset to Defaults: activate Reset to Defaults control in order to initiate reset the device to factory defaults routine. Reset routine initiates system Reboot process (similar to the power off - power on cycle). The running system configuration will be deleted and the default system configuration (all the system settings with no exception) will be set.

After the Reset to Defaults routine is completed, the device system will return to the default IP configuration (192.168.168.1/255.255.255.0) and will start operating in Station-Bridge mode. It is highly recommended to backup the system configuration before the Reset to Defaults 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.
