If you statically (manually) assign IP

Clients on your network that are assigned IP

DHCP Server

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DAP-1522 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will

automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be

DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on,

they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DAP-1522. The DHCP Server will automatically

allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer.

DHCP Reservation

If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation.

The access point will assign the IP address only to that computer or device.

Note:

This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range.

Check this box to enable the reservation.

Enter the computer name or select from the drop-down menu.

Enter the IP address you want to assign to the computer or device. This IP Address must be within the DHCP IP

Address Range.

Enter the MAC address of the computer or device.

Enable QoS:

QoS Type:

Priority by LAN

Port:

Enable this option if you want QoS to prioritize

your traffic.

There are two options available for your special

application: (1) Priority by LAN Port, and (2) Priority

by Protocol.

There are four priority levels for all LAN ports. The

priority level values assigned are 1 for Background,

3 for Best Effort, 5 for Video, and 7 for Voice (Voice

is the highest level and Background is the lowest

level) at a normal priority.

QoS

The Quality of Service (QoS) feature regulates the flow of data through the access point by assigning a priority to

each packet.

It enhances your experience of wireless network usage by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.

Enabling this option allows the AP to prioritize traffic. There are two options available for the special application.

Priority:

Users can set the priority and percentage of total bandwidth

reserved for each of their four traffic categories. Please

note that the combined percentage value of transmission

limits does not have to be 100%. These percentages

represent the maximum bandwidth designated for each

traffic category.

The value entered here indicates the wireless to Ethernet

speed required before the Advanced QoS function is

enabled. Advanced QoS will be enabled once the total

bandwidth reaches or surpasses the set value. The

suggested range is 800 ~ 96000kbits/sec.

Represents the priority value and bandwidth limit applied to ACK, DHCP, ICMP, and DNS for packet delivering.

Traffic generated by typical Web services (packets sent through ports 80,443, 3128 and 8080).

Traffic generated by e-mail sending and receiving (ports 25, 110, 465 and 995).

Traffic generated by FTP Uploading and Downloading (ports 20, 21).

Other traffic generated that does not regard the aforementioned packet delivery.

Note:

Normally the wireless connection transmits application data packets based on the wireless to Ethernet speed and Ethernet to wireless speed.

Users can treat the two speeds as system transmission bandwidth, where all applications will share the whole system bandwidth based on assigned

priorities. Note that the maximum amount of bandwidth that can be used is the same as the set value of both speeds.

Traffic Manager

Traffic Manager enables traffic control of the

delivering and receiving of data packets.

There are two options available for Unlisted Clients

Traffic: (1) deny, and (2) forward.

Traffic Manager assigns the device’s entire bandwidth, which includes both the wireless to Ethernet speed and Ethernet

the individual client. For unlisted client traffic, users can either choose to deny or forward packet transferred for such

clients.
