Quick Setup Guide

If you do not change any of

configuration parameters the

default values will be used.

This Quick Setup Guide will guide you through quickly and easily

configuration of this subscriber station. We suggest you change these

parameters:

Change IP address (static or dynamic),

Define the ESSID to which the subscriber station will be

associated,

Define the IEEE 802.11 mode,

Define the wireless security (None, WEP or WPA),

Change the administrator’s password.

For detailed setup and configuration instructions, please refer to the

chapter Configuration Guide.

Follow these steps for subscriber station quick setup via web-browser

interface:

Step 1 Login to the web management

Open the web browser and type the default IP address of the

LiteStation2 device http://192.168.2.66/ into the browser address

field. You will be prompted to enter the administrator login credentials:

User Name: admin

Password: admin01

After successful administrator log on you will see the main page of the

subscriber station web management interface.

Step 2 Configure network settings

The IP configuration as described below is required for LiteStation2

management purposes. IP addresses can either be retrieved from a

DHCP server or configured manually.

Use the Link Setup menu to configure the device IP settings:

Bridge IP Address: specify the IP mode.

DHCP – choose to assign the dynamic IP address and gateway

address by the local DHCP server.

Static – choose to assign a static IP address.

IP Address: enter IP address for subscriber station LiteStation2.

Netmask: enter a subnet mask for subscriber station LiteStation2.

Gateway IP: enter a gateway IP address for subscriber station

LiteStation2.

Step 3 Assign an ESSID to subscriber station

Use Link Setup menu to specify the ESSID of the wireless device to

which the subscriber station will be associated:

ESSID: specify the ESSID of the wireless network device which the

LiteStation2 will associate to.

Refer to the section Basic Wireless Settings for detailed information.

Step 4 Specify the IEEE 802.11 mode

Specify the 802.11 wireless network mode by which the subscriber

station will communicate with the wireless device:

Be sure, that chosen IEEE

802.11 mode is the same as

configured on the wireless

device.

IEEE 802.11 Mode: select the IEEE 802.11 mode of your wireless

network.

B only – connect to a 802.11b only network.

B/G Mixed – connect to a 802.11b/g network.

G only – connect to a 802.11g only network.

G Dynamic Turbo – connect to a 802.11g network using SuperG.

Step 5 Specify the security level

Choose the security method to protect your data that only authorized

network users could access the network. You can choose WEP, WPA

or None for your device.

If no security is needed, simply choose the None option:

Security: select the encryption method or disable security.

The same encryption settings

must also be enabled on

wireless devices on your

network.

None – disable security.

WEP – enable WEP encryption.

WPA – enable WPA with Preshared Key encryption.

Authentication Type: choose the one of the following modes.

Open Authentication – the LiteStation2 is visible to all devices

on the network.

Shared Authentication – allows communication only with other

devices with identical WEP settings.

WEP Key Length: select the Key length here, either 64-bits or 128-

bits.

Key Index: specify the Index of WEP Key.

WEP Key: enter the encryption key to be used to encrypt and decrypt

wireless traffic:

For 64-bits – specify pre-shared key as 5 HEX (0-9, A-F, and a-f)

pairs (e.g. 0011223344).

For 128-bits – specify pre-shared key as 13 HEX (0-9, A-F, and

a-f) pairs (e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC).

WPA Preshared Key: enter a passphrase for WPA encryption. The

preshared key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63

characters long.

Step 6 Change administrator password

The default administrator

settings are:

Username – admin

Password – admin01

For the security reasons the default administrator’s password should

be changed immediately. Use the System menu and specify the

parameters:

Current Password: enter a current password value. Default

administrators password is admin01.

New Password: enter a new password value used for administrator

authentication.

Verify Password: re-enter the new password to verify its accuracy.

Change: click to change the login details of administrator.

Step7 Apply changes

After each configuration change the informational message

suggesting you to apply changes and reboot the device will appear:

As you have changed the

subscriber station’s IP address,

be sure to use the new address

the next time you access the

configuration interface.

Apply: click to save changes and reboot the device.

Discard: click to discard changes.

After the general settings are changed, the subscriber station is now

ready for basic operation. You can now use the web interface menu to

configure many more details for your LiteStation2.

Configuration Guide

Each of the management windows (listed below) contains parameters

that affect a specific aspect of the subscriber station:

Figure 1 – Configuration Management Menu

Main – displays current status of the subscriber station.

Link Setup – prepares the subscriber station for use in a wireless

network, controls how a subscriber station associates to an access

point, authenticates to the wireless network, and encrypts and

decrypts data.

Advanced Link Setup – controls how the subscriber station operates

within a network.

System – controls main system maintenance parameters,

administrator login credentials, firmware upgrade and logo

customization.

Main Settings

Link Setup

The Link Setup page allows you to manage general parameters of

the subscriber station LiteStation2.

Basic Wireless Settings

The general wireless settings, such as wireless device ESSID,

country code, output power, 802.11 mode and data rates can be

configured on this section:

Figure 3 – Basic Wireless Settings

ESSID: specify the ESSID of the wireless network device where the

LiteStation2 will be associated to.

Use the Select… button next to ESSID entry field to load the Site

Survey tool. Site Survey will search for all wireless networks (SSID) in

range of the LiteStation2 and allow you to select one for association.

In case the selected network uses encryption, you first need to setup

encryption on your LiteStation2.

Figure 4 – Site Survey Scan

Select: click to associate chosen wireless network with the subscriber

station LiteStation2.

Scan: click to refresh the wireless network table.

Close this window: click to close Site Survey window.

Country Code: choose from drop-down list the country in which you

will use the subscriber station LiteStation2.

Output Power: specify the wireless card output power at which your

client adapter transmits data in dBm using slider. When entering

output power value manually, the slider position will change according

to the entered value. The transmit power level that is actually used is

limited to the maximum value allowed by your country's regulatory

agency.

IEEE 802.11 Mode: select the IEEE 802.11 mode of your wireless

network.

B only – allows connection to 802.11b networks.

B/G Mixed – allows connection to 802.11b and 802.11g networks.

G only – allows connection to 802.11g networks.

G Dynamic Turbo – connect to the wireless network that

supports 802.11g Dynamic Turbo mode for data rates up to 108

Mbps.

The list of data rates will vary

according the selected IEEE

802.11 mode.

Data Rate: choose the data rates in Mbps at which LiteStation2

should transmit packets to or receive packets from Access Point. Use

Auto option if you are having trouble getting connected or losing data

at a higher rate. In this case the lower data rates will be used by

station automatically.

Wireless Security

This section enables you to set parameters that control how the

subscriber station associates to a wireless device and encrypts and

decrypts data:
