User Manual
Beacon Interval:
is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
DTIM Period:
Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages
Data Rate:
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data
packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected
transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
N Data Rate:
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data
packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate
can be fixed.
Channel Bandwidth:
This is the range of frequencies that will be used.
Preamble Type:
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility
while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
CTS Protection:
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between
802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode
is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a
lot of frame-network that is transmitted.
TX Power:
This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.

Security
This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included
are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA
with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from
illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security
function, and are setup with the same security key.
ESSID Selection:
This broadband router support multiple ESSID, you could
select and set up the wanted ESSID.
Broadcast ESSID:
If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station
located within the coverage of this access point can discover
this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless
network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling
“Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

WMM:
Wi-Fi MultiMedia if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio,
video and voice in applications.
Encryption:
When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to
operate RNX-EASYN4.
Enable 802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to
login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is
processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x,
but it does not encrypt the data during communication.
WEP Encryption
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to
encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four
WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any
packets encrypted by one of the four keys.

User Manual
Authentication Type:
There are two authentication types:
"Open System"
and
"Shared Key"
. When you select
"Open System"
, wireless
stations can associate with this wireless router without WEP
encryption. When you select
"Shared Key"
, you should also
setup a WEP key in the
"Encryption"
page. After this has
been done, make sure the wireless clients that you want to
connect to the device are also setup with the same
encryption key.
Key Length:
You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the
throughput will be lower.
Key Type:
You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal
Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
Key1 - Key4:
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.

User Manual
64-bit WEP:
input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or
5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP:
input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or
13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
Click
<Apply>
at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You
can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply
the settings and reboot the device.
WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a
pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during
communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key
frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the
best security available.
