1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

The HD24613 modular WLAN access point (AP) enables 802.11g or 802.11b client computers to

access the resources on an Ethernet network wirelessly or wired. It conveniently fits into standard

wall outlets and only takes a few minutes to install and configure for use. The HD24613 has a

built-in browser-based management application offering an easy to follow setup-wizard for novice

wireless users as well as comprehensive settings for more advanced users and/or network administra-

tors.

1.2. Features

zHD24613 Firmware Features

Operational Modes

AP/Bridge. This mode provides both Access Point and Static LAN-to-LAN Bridg-

ing functionality. The static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported through

Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

AP Client. This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging. The AP Client auto-

matically establishes bridge links with APs from any vendor.

RF Type Selection. The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to work in

IEEE 802.11b only, IEEE 802.11g only, or mixed mode (802.11g and 802.11b simulta-

neously).

64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For authentication and data

encryption.

Enabling/Disabling SSID Broadcasts. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, the

administrator can enable or disable the SSID broadcasts functionality for security reasons.

When the SSID broadcast functionality is disabled, a client computer cannot connect to the

HD24613 with “blank” network name (SSID, Service Set ID); the correct SSID has to be

specified on client computers.

MAC-address-based Access Control. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, it

can be configured to block unauthorized wireless client computers based on MAC (Media

Access Control) addresses. Additionally, an ACL (Access Control List) can be downloaded

from a TFTP server.

IEEE 802.1x/RADIUS. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, it can be configured

to authenticate wireless users and distribute encryption keys dynamically by IEEE 802.1x

Port-Based Network Access Control and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User

Service).

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The HD24613 supports the WPA standard proposed

by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org). Both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode and

full WPA mode are supported. WPA is composed of TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Pro-

tocol) and IEEE 802.1x and serves as a successor to WEP for better WLAN security.

Repeater. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, it can communicate with other APs

or wireless bridges via WDS (Wireless Distribution System). Therefore, a HD24613 can

wirelessly forward packets from wireless clients to another HD24613. Then the second

HD24613 forwards the packets to the Ethernet network.

Wireless Client Isolation. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, wire-

less-to-wireless traffic can be blocked so that the wireless clients cannot see each other.

This capability can be used in hotspots applications to prevent wireless hackers from at-

tacking other wireless users’ computers.

AP Load Balancing. Several HD24613’s can form a load-balancing group. Within a

group, wireless client associations and traffic load can be shared among the devices. This

function is available when the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode.

Transmit Power Control. Transmit power of the HD24613’s RF module can be ad-

justed to desired RF coverage.

Link Integrity. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode and its Ethernet LAN interface

is detected to be disconnected from the wired network, all currently associated wireless

clients are disassociated by the HD24613 and no wireless client can associate with it.

Association Control. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, it can be configured to

deny association requests when it has served too many wireless clients or traffic load is too

heavy.

Associated Wireless Clients Status. When the HD24613 is in AP/Bridge mode, it

can show the status of all wireless clients that are currently associated or ‘connected’.

Auto Channel Selection. The auto channel selection feature allows the device to auto-

matically select the channel that will provide optimum performance on powering up the

HD24613.

zDHCP client. The HD24613 can automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

zDHCP server. The HD24613 can automatically assign IP addresses to computers or other de-

vices by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

Static DHCP Mappings. The administrator can specify static IP address to MAC ad-

dress mappings so that IP addresses are always assigned to the hosts with the specified

MAC addresses.

Showing Current DHCP Mappings. Displays which IP address is assigned to which

host identified by an MAC address.

zPacket Filtering. The HD24613 provides Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 filtering capabilities.

zFirmware Management Tools

Firmware Upgrade. The firmware of the HD24613 can be upgraded in the following

methods:

TFTP-based. Upgrading firmware by TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).

HTTP-based. Upgrading firmware by HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

Configuration Backup. The configuration settings of the HD24613 can be backed up to

a file via TFTP or HTTP for later restoring.

Configuration Reset. Clears current configuration settings and restores to facto-

ry-default values.

zManagement

Browser-based Network Manager for configuring and monitoring the HD24613 via a

Web browser. The management protocol is HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)-based.

SNMP. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II, IEEE 802.1d,

IEEE 802.1x, and Private Enterprise MIB are supported.

UPnP. The HD24613 responds to UPnP discovery messages so that a Windows XP user

can locate the HD24613 in My Network Places and use a Web browser to configure it.

System Log. For system operational status monitoring.

Local log. System events are logged to the on-board RAM of the HD24613 and can

be viewed using a Web browser.

Remote log by SNMP trap. Systems events are sent in the form of SNMP traps to

a remote SNMP management server.

zPower over Ethernet. Power is supplied to the HD24613 via an Ethernet cable using an

802.3af compliant power injector.

zHardware Watchdog Timer. If the firmware “hangs” in an invalid state, the hardware

watchdog timer will detect this situation and restart the HD24613. This way, the HD24613 can

provide continuous services.

1.3. LED Definitions

There are several LED indicators on the front of the HD24613. Please refer to the definitions below:

A. Power: Green, solid when receiving power

B. WAN: Green, solid when connected, flashing when data activity

C. Wireless: Green, solid when on, flashing when wireless data activity

D. RJ-45 LAN port

Amber, solid when LAN connection

Green, solid when LAN connection, flashing when activity

2. First-Time Installation and Configuration

2.1. Power

The HD24613 is powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet). The HD24613 automatically selects the

suitable power supply.

To power the AP by PoE:

1. Plug one connector of an Ethernet cable to an available port of a PoE injector or switch.

2. Plug the other connector of the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the rear of the HD24613.

NOTE: The HD24613 is 802.3af compatible.

2.2. Installing the HD24613

The HD24613 has two options for installation: desktop/flat surface or into a standard Ethernet wall

jack.

Desktop or flat surface:

1. Remove the HD24613 from the box and snap apart the two pieces of the screw less faceplate

that are affixed to the HD24613.

2. Place the HD24613 in desired location upon the desk or flat surface.

3. Using the single-port PoE Injector, connect one end of an Ethernet LAN cable from a LAN port

on the network router or switch and the opposite end to the port marked “Data In”. Use another

Ethernet LAN cable to connect the port marked “Data Out” to the WAN port (on rear) of the

HD24613.

4. Plug the single-port PoE power cord into an electrical outlet.

5. Check the LED indication lights. All three (Power, WAN, Wireless) should be properly lit.

Ethernet Wall Jack:

1. Remove the Ethernet wall jack faceplate and measure the depth of wall box.

2. Adjust the top and bottom brackets of the HD24613 accordingly.

3. Separate the cover (top) of the HD24613 faceplate from the frame (bottom).

4. With the HD24613 still in the faceplate frame, plug the wall jack LAN cable to the WAN port of

the HD24613. All three green LEDs on the HD24613 should be lit if properly connected to a

router/switch and PoE power supply. If “yes”, proceed to step 5.

5. Slowly insert the HD24613 into the wall box until the faceplate frame is flush to the wall.

6. Fasten both the HD24613 and the faceplate frame to the wall box with screws provided.

7. Line-up and push the faceplate cover onto the frame until it snaps securely into place.

2.3. Connecting a Managing Computer

To configure the HD24613 using the Advanced option, a managing computer with a Web browser is

needed.

NOTE: If you are using the browser, Opera, to configure the HD24613, click the menu item File,

click Preferences..., click File types, and edit the MIME type, text/html, to add a file extension

“.sht” so that Opera can work properly with the Web management pages of the AP.

Since the configuration/management protocol is HTTP-based, make sure that the IP address of the

managing computer and the IP address of the managed AP are in the same IP subnet (the default

IP address of the HD24613 is 192.168.100.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.)

To connect the Ethernet managing computer and the managed HD24613 for first-time configuration,

you have two choices as illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. Connecting a managing computer and the HD24613 via Ethernet

You can use either a standard Ethernet cable (included in the package) or a switch/hub with two nor-

mal Ethernet cables.

NOTE: One connector of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the HD24613 WAN port for con-

figuration.

2.4. Configuring the AP

After the IP addressing issue is resolved, launch a Web browser on the managing computer. Then, go

to “http://192.168.100.1” to access the Web-based Network Manager login page.
