Address Reservation
will enable you to specify a reserved IP address for a
PC on the LAN, so the PC will always obtain the same IP address each time when it accesses the
AP. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
The screen below is used for address reservation (shown in Figure 4-19).

System Tools
System Tools
option helps you to optimize the configuration of your device. You can upgrade the
AP to the latest version of firmware as well as backup or restore the AP’s configuration files. Ping
Watch Dog can help to continuously monitor a particular connection to a remote host.
Speed Test
helps to test the connection speed to and from any reachable IP address on current network,
especially when we are building wireless network between devices which are far away from each
other.
It’s suggested that you change the default password to a more secure one because it
controls access to the device’s web-based management page. Besides, you can find out what
happened to the system in System Log.
There are twelve submenus under the
System Tools
menu (shown as Figure 4-21):
SNMP
,
Time
Settings
,
Diagnostic
,
Ping Watch Dog
,
Speed Test
,
Firmware Upgrade
,
Factory Defaults
,
Backup & Restore
,
Reboot
,
Password
,
System log
and
Statistics
.
Clicking any of them will
enable you to configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu
are provided below.

SNMP Agent
- Choose
Enable
to open this function if you want to have remote control through
SNMPv1/v2 agent with MIB-II. Choose
Disable
to close this function.
SysContact
- The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node.
SysName
- An administratively-assigned name for this managed node.
SysLocation
- The physical location of this node.
Note:
Specifying one of these values via the Device's Web-Based Utility makes the corresponding
object read-only. If there isn't such a config setting, then the write request will succeed (assuming
suitable access control settings), but the new value would be forgotten the next time the agent
was restarted.
Get Community
- Enter the community name that allows Read-Only access to the Device's
SNMP information. The community name can be considered a group password. The default
setting is
public
.
Get Source
- Get source defines the IP address or subnet for management systems that can read
information from this 'get' community device.
Set Community
- Enter the community name that allows Read/Write access to the Device's
SNMP information. The community name can be considered a group password. The default
setting is
private
.
Set Source
- Set source defines the IP address or subnet for management systems that can
control this 'set' community device.
Note:
A restricted source can be a specific IP address (e.g. 10.10.10.1), or a subnet - represented as
IP/BITS (e.g. 10.10.10.0/24). If an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 is specified, the agent will accept all
requests under the corresponding community name.
Click the
Save
button to save your settings.
4.9.2 Time Settings
Choose menu “
System Tools > Time Settings

2)
The time will be lost if the Device is turned off.
3)
The Device will automatically obtain GMT from the Internet if it is configured accordingly.
4)

4.9.3 Diagnostic
Choose menu “
System Tools > Diagnostic
”, and then you can transact Ping or Traceroute
function to check connectivity of your network in the following screen.
Figure 4-24 Diagnostic Tools
Diagnostic Tool
-
Click the radio button to select one diagnostic tool:
Ping -
This diagnostic tool troubleshoots connectivity, reachability, and name resolution
to a given host or gateway.
Traceroute -
This diagnostic tool tests the performance of a connection.
Note:
You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If
pinging/tracerouting the IP address is successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name is
not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case, ensure that the domain name you
are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.
IP Address/ Domain Name
- Enter the IP Address or Domain Name of the PC whose
connection you wish to diagnose.
Ping Count
- Specifies the number of Echo Request messages sent. The default is 4.
Ping Packet Size
- Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 64.
Ping Timeout
- Time to wait for a response, in milliseconds. The default is 800.
Traceroute Max TTL
- Set the maximum number of hops (max TTL to be reached) in the
path to search for the target (destination). The default is 20.
Click the
Start
button to start the diagnostic procedure.
The
Diagnostic Results
page (as shown in Figure 4-25) displays the result of diagnosis.
If the result is similar to the following screen, the connectivity of the Internet is fine.
