MESH

AirTouch technology automatically configures two devices to create

a MESH. Simply push the AirTouch button on the two devices that

you want to configure a MESH between. MESH can also be

configured manually.

Technology

resolves

weak

wireless

signal

and

coverage area problems often encountered in multi-story concrete

buildings. To extend wireless coverage area, it is necessary to use

AirTies access point devices functioning in repeater mode. The

access points function as repeaters and communicate with each

other via a special protocol that maintains the signal strength over

long distances and through barriers such as concrete walls.

Computers connect to all devices through the Mesh Network. This

way, the wireless coverage area can be extended to the maximum

while any signal strength problems through barriers are resolved.

The following steps will help you set up a Mesh Network with your

modem:

Important:

a. Your modem and repeaters must all operate on the same

channel. Therefore, it is recommended you to use channels 1, 6

or 11.

b. Your modem and repeaters must also all operate at the same

security level.

c. The signal level received at the location of the repeaters must

not be below medium.

d. Repeaters must be in DHCP client mode and your modem must

be in DHCP server mode. You can check this in the LAN menu

of the web interface.

e. In the following example, the SSIDs are called Floor_1, Floor_2

and Floor_3. This type of naming system has been used to help

your understand the procedure. But in practice we recommend

you use the same name for all SSIDs. For example, if they are

all called AirTies, users can automatically connect to the device

with the best signal strength.

Step One (Configuring the Modem):

1. Enter the Wireless Settings section of the WIRELESS main menu

in the device's web interface. Change the SSID name to

Floor_1. Enter the channel that the mesh network will use in the

Channel field. We recommended you use 1, 6 or 11. While the

Mesh Network is set up manually, the AirTouch box must not be

checked. Save your settings by clicking Save.

Step Two (Configuring the Repeater on Floor_2):

1. Enter the Wireless Settings section of the WIRELESS main menu

in the device's web interface. Change the SSID name to

Floor_2. Enter the channel that the mesh network will use in the

Channel field. The AirTouch box must not be checked. Save

your settings by clicking Save.

Step Three (Configuring the Repeater in Floor_3):

1. Enter the Wireless Settings section of the WIRELESS main menu

in the device's web interface. Change the SSID name to Floor 3.

Enter the channel that the "mesh network" will use in the

Channel field. The AirTouch box must not be checked. Save

your settings by clicking Save.

Step Four:

1. Select the Mesh menu in the WIRELESS main menu in your

modem's web interface. Click on the Find AP button in the

screen that has opened called MESH Settings.

2. When you click the Find AP button, the device will begin

searching for wireless access point devices it can connect to

and will list the ones it finds.

3. Select the access point or points that you want a Mesh

connection with your modem by checking the boxes. In the

access points you selected, the signal level must be at least

medium or higher. Complete the Mesh settings of your modem

by clicking the Save button.

Step Five:

1. Select the Mesh menu in the WIRELESS main menu in your

repeater's web interface. Click the Find AP button in the screen

that has opened called MESH Settings.

2. When you click the Find AP button, the device will start to

search for wireless access point devices it can connect to and

will list the ones it finds.

3. Select the devices that you want a Mesh connection with your

repeater by checking the boxes. Complete your repeater's

Mesh settings by clicking the Save button.

Step Six:

1. Select the Mesh menu under the WIRELESS main menu in your

repeater's web interface. Click the Find AP button in the screen

that has opened called MESH Settings.

2. When you click the Find AP button, the device will start to

search for wireless access point devices it can connect to and

will list the ones it finds.

3. Select the devices that you want a Mesh connection with your

repeater by checking the boxes. Complete your repeater's

Mesh settings by clicking the Save button.

FIREWALL Settings

A firewall prevents unauthorised Internet users from accessing your

local network and your computer.

AirTies Firewall has a SPI, Stateful Packet Inspection, feature. SPI

monitors the protocol and packet addresses being received to

determine if the information should be passed through the firewall

to the connected computers on your network. The Internet

addresses that are a source of malicious attacks are permanently

blocked from accessing your network.

You can also limit or block the Internet access of any local user by

defining advanced rules for Internet access.

Firewall is activated by default.

The following sections describe the submenus under the FIREWALL

menu of the web interface.

Access Control

Page 30 / 46

You can allow or block Internet access for any computer on your

local network using the Access Control feature. These access

restrictions can be based on IP address as well as MAC address.

Access Control is enabled by default.

To define a new access rule, click "New".

On the page that appears:

1. Enter a name for the access rule you would like to define in the

"Rule Name" field. Choose a name that is easy to remember.

2. If VLAN is implemented then select the LAN or WAN interface,

otherwise take the defaults.

3. In the "SELECT CLIENT" section you can enter the IP or MAC

addresses of the clients whose access you would like to restrict

with this rule.

4. Access control can be defined based on local IP or MAC address

(uniquely identifies the network adapter of the device). If an

access rule is defined by MAC address, the rule defined for the

device will be valid even if the local IP address changes.

5. It is possible to enter the MAC or IP addresses individually or

choose them from the list of client devices in the local network.

6. Enter the MAC address of the device you would like to restrict

traffic from in "New MAC Address" or IP address of the device

in the "New IP address range" field. For a single IP address,

enter the same value in the two boxes that define the range.

(e.g. 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.2). To restrict access for all

devices in an IP address range, enter the beginning and ending

IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.50). Click the

"Add >" button to add the device to the restricted list.

7. Select "Block all traffic" to block all traffic to and from the

Internet interface.

8. To block an application select an application from the list and

click "Add>" to add the application to the restricted application

list.
