3.2 System
The system settings are valid for all operating modes and can be changed in the “System” (System) tab.
3.2.1 General settings
To be able to recognise the WLAN AP in your network, enter an individual, unique name ("AC-WLAN" in as-deliv- ered condition). The name must start with a letter and must not contain any spaces. Invalid entries are marked in red.
As of V2.x, the devices are available in the network via this name (e.g., http://AC-WLAN without entering the IP address then also allows access to the device).

3.3 Status
“Status” (Status) displays the current values of the system and the devices connected to the WLAN AP. This pro- vides you with, e.g., information on the channel and on logged-in stations for the configuration.
If several stations are logged in to a net- work, the WLAN AP automatically selects the one with the strongest sig- nal. A reception rate of 20 % should not be fallen below to ensure safe data transfer.
In addition to the access point model, you can also see the firmware version here.
3.4 Network
You can set the operating mode and additional configuration aspects in the “Network” (Netzwerk) tab under “IP set- tings” (IP-Einstellungen) or “WLAN” (WLAN). You can choose between four modes:
n access point (delivery state) n access point (WDS/repeater) n client (WDS) and n client (relayed)

In addition to status information, you can click on “Settings” (Einstellungen) or “Edit” (Bearbeiten) to select the pro- tocol (static address or DHCP client), change the IP address and subnet mask of your WLAN AP, and enter the gate- way address and the DNS server of your router.
Click the “Use own DNS servers” (Benutze eigene DNS-Server) icon to add and save additional DNS servers.
3.4.2 WLAN setting
The WLAN status section provides you with an overview of the WLAN settings of your WLAN AP. It shows radio stand- ard, channel, bitrate, SSID, mode, BSSID, encryption, signal strength in per cent, logged-in stations with SSID, MAC address, IP address, signal and noise.

The operating mode as repeater and access point requires appropriate con- figuration in the WLAN AP. Since these are two different WLAN operating modes, they must also be configured and/or added under Network > WLAN (Netzwerk > WLAN). The first of the following figures shows the gateway settings.

This gateway must feature the “Client (RELAYED)” operating mode. The IP address of the relayed client must be in the same address range as the router (or device to be amplified). The second gateway to be added is parametrized as access point (see lower illustration). In WLAN operation, mobile data terminals or other repeaters, which are set up sim- ilarly to the previous processes, are con- nected to this gateway.

n Deactivating guest connection If you only deactivate the guest con- nection, then the WLAN gateway still exists in the device and can be reacti- vated later.
n Deactivating interface If you deactivate the WLAN of the guest interface, it is no longer availa- ble for use (internet access)!
n Removing interface The easiest way to remove the guest interface is via “Network > WLAN” (Netzwerk > WLAN).
Each of the changes made must be saved for adoption and application by clicking the green button.

FRÄNKISCHE | 23 OI WLAN Access Point 100 DATALIGHT® 4 Help with malfunctions
Cause Action LEDs are off The WLAN AP is without supply voltage Switch on the supply voltage
LAN LED (orange) is off The LAN interface has been deactivated in the “Time switch function” (Zeitschaltfunktion) section or the LED display has been Activate deactivated function deactivated
WLAN LED (blue) flashes The WLAN interface has been deactivated in the “Time switch function” (Zeitschaltfuntkion) section or the LED display has been Activate deactivated function deactivated
No connection with the WLAN base station
The WLAN AP is beyond the range of the base station Reduce the distance between the devices
The WLAN function of your WLAN AP is deactivated Activate the WLAN function
Another WLAN network causes disturbances Switch to another channel or switch the channel to “auto”
The encryption of your WLAN AP has been set to “WEP” Configure the encryption to WPA/WPA2 in the user interface or “unencrypted“ (unverschlüsselt)
To establish a WEP connection, the ESSID must be “visible” (si- chtbar). Switch the ESSID to “visible” (sichtbar). After a connection The ESSID has been set as “hidden” (unsichtbar) has been established, you can switch the ESSID back to “hidden” (nicht sichtbar)
The WLAN AP and the PC use different encryption methods Configure the same encryption method at the PC and the WLAN AP
No WLAN connection with the PC Check whether the WLAN adaptor is switched on; some devices The WLAN adaptor of the PC is not ready for operation have a physical switch for this The PC is beyond the range of the WLAN AP Reduce the distance between the PC and the WLAN AP
The WLAN AP and the PC use different encryption methods Configure the same encryption method at the PC and the WLAN AP
No access to devices in the network possible The device has a firewall Grant network access to the firewall Wrong address range/wrong subnet mask Check if the addresses have been configured correctly
The WLAN AP cannot be found under the IP address You have activated the DHCP client Try to find the device using the WLAN function

Equals either the MAC address of the AP or is created randomly Basic Service Set Identifier BSSID and clearly identifies each BSS
Operating mode in which texts longer than the block cipher length Cipher can be encrypted (e.g., AES)
Connects a wired communication device with an AP via WLAN, Client also called repeater or WLAN adaptor DNS server Computer (server) carrying out name resolution Carries out the name resolution, i.e., implementation of a host Domain Name System DNS name into the associated IP address Extended Service Set ESS Combination of several WLAN radio cells into a larger one Connection of several APs into a network requires the same SSID, Extended Service Set Identifier ESSID which is called ESSID in this case
Larger bandwidths and thus larger speeds are possible in HT-40 mode. Range is reduced, speed advantage is only realistic to a High Throughput HT mode limited extent (IEEE-802.11-n devices required, ideal connection required)
Independent Basic Service Set IBSS IBSS is a closed network without connection to other networks
