Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the GWP-207VE wireless client unit. This is a unit for building

the network according to the 802.11b or 802.11g standard. Wireless units consist of access points (the unit

in the “Access Point” regime) and client devices (the unit in the infrastructure regime). For interconnection of

further computers without an access point it is possible to use an AD-HOC setting, for building a Point-Point

connection, it is possible to use WDS/Bridge regime.

This unit supports WEP, WPA, ESSID security systems and a MAC address filter to ensure security

of the wireless network. Due to these security standards it is possible to avoid any unauthorized access to

your wireless network.

This unit is equipped with a 14 dB gain aerial integrated panel. Using a www interface, this equipment

enables the control of the overall emitted output, i.e. the output which includes the gain of the aerial.

This unit can be easily controlled by any web browser which is localised into several languages.

Contact your supplier to receive the current list of language modifications for the user interface or you can

find it on the web pages of the producer at www.straightcore.net.

The firmware (the control program of the unit) is developed with the emphasis placed on the use in

large wireless networks. The cover of the unit is designed for use outside of buildings with sufficient

protection against drip and other atmospheric influences. For easy setting it is possible to connect the GWP-

HDF direction finder to the unit whose description and the use is contained in this Manual.

1.4 Description and installation of the unit

1.4.1 External part - ODU

Part of the unit is designated for locating on an installation mast. In the front part it contains an integrated 12

dB aerial.

1.4.1.1 Ethernet/POE port

In the bottom part of the external unit you can find the waterproof part covered by a plastic cover. In this

part there is port for an RJ-45 connector and the Reset button. For the connection of the unit to an internal

part it is always necessary to use fully equipped STP shielded cable of the category 5,5e or 6. In the case of

use of unshielded cable, the unit or the connected computer can be damaged due to the influence of static

discharge. After connection of the connector into the port ensure the correct installation of the waterproof

cover and its fixation with the attached bolt.

Mount the unit on the mast by means of the holder and fork which is a part of the accessories. If you

attach the unit to the mast so that the LED diodes on the front side are on the top, the unit will be in vertical

polarization. For attaching in horizontal polarization turn the holder by 90 degrees so that the Ethernet cable

is protected by the offset in the cover against drip. Then, connect the plastic form with the centre bolt and

after attaching the whole unit to the mast, tighten the bolt so that the declination of the unit best corresponds

to the direction of the location of the transmission point to which GWP-106VE will be connected.

1.4.1.2 Reset button

The unit is equipped with a button for its resetting or for switching to the factory setting. This button is

located on the right side of the RJ-45 connector. Use a ballpoint pen or other suitable tool to press it. Use

as follows:

•Press the button for a short period less than 4 seconds to restart the access point. In this case

the configuration parameters will remain kept.

•In the case of the loss of password or IP address it is possible to switch the contact for a period

longer than 4 seconds. In this case the factory setting will be reset and there will be a restart of

the access point to the initial address 192.168.1.1 and it will not be protected by a user name

and password.

1.4.2 Internal part – IDU

The internal part of the unit is delivered in two variants which correspond to the following descriptions:

Introduction

English version 5

1.4.2.1 Standard Power Injector

In the standard variant the unit is delivered with a standard injector without the integrated switch. The

connection is easy. Connect the Ethernet cable from your PC or the switch into the port marked LAN. The

POE port is used for the connection of the cable leading to the ODU unit. Connect the delivered network

adapter into the port of the described DC – now the installation is complete. Attention, in the case of

incorrect connection of cables into individual ports there can be serious damage to your switch or

computer. Therefore, we recommend to use for this connection a Cat.3 4 or 5 cable with only 1,2,3 and 6

contacts connected. In this case there is no risk of damage because the POE system uses transfer on

contacts 4/5 and 7/8 as schematically displayed on the upper side of the POE injector.

It is possible to use side clamps and small screws for mounting of the injector on the wall which is

not part of the delivery. The span of the assembly holes is 68 mm.

1.4.2.2 PSW-105/205

The optional accessory to the GWP-106VE unit is the PSW-105/205 projector with an integrated 4-

pole switch. This variant is equipped with an LED diode for checking the function. The description of the

status and the function of individual LED diodes are in the following table:

LED Colour Status Description

1.4.2.2.1. POE System

The IDU PSW-105 is equipped with a POE system (Power-over-ethernet). In the standard configuration the

PoE is active only on port No.1 which is used for the supply of the unit. In special cases, by interconnection

of the J1 switch on the board of the switch it is possible to also switch the ON supply for ports 2-4 and to

supply up to 4 external units with one PSW-105 switch (in this case , it is necessary to replace the delivered

source with the 12V/2A source). Further options for the use of this regime is, for example, the installation of

one switch for PC with an active POE port 1 and the supply of a distant switch in the regime of 4 POE ports

by means of the POE system. It is possible to use the remaining 3 ports for connection of 3 external GWP-

207VE units.

For fast specification of the configuration of PSW-105, connect only the supply voltage. The ports on which

the POE system is active are indicated by a permanently lit red LED diode.

1.4.2.2.2. Supply of IDU/Connection of further units

The DC-12V connector serves for the connection of the supply voltage. The standard delivery includes the

12V/500mA source which is sufficient for the operation of the switch and one unit on the cable with a length

of 15 m. In the case of operation with a longer cable, it is possible to use for the supply a stabilized

maximum 18V source. With the increase of the input voltage it is possible to ensure stable operation up to

70 m of the Ethernet line. In the case of connection of further units to one PSW-105, it is necessary, on the

contrary, to increase the input current. For each connected unit it is necessary to consider the current as

400mA and for each remotely supplied switch the current as 100mA.

1.4.2.2.3. Ethernet ports 1/5

The connector is for the connection of the equipment into a standard LAN computer network with a Cat.5,5E

or Cat.6 cable. Attention, connect only StraightCore external units to ports with an active POE system. The

connection of any other equipment may damage the switch and the connected equipment.

2.2 Statistics 1

Pic.1 in the Appendix shows the starting page for access of the unit control. Access the configuration

parameters using the pair of menus. In the left upper part under the logo of the producer there is a primary

menu with the main menu items. Above the screen there is a dynamic menu. Its content is changed

depending on the actual selected item of the main menu.

2.2.1 Status of the unit

This opening screen contains information about the current setting of the unit, the time of running

from the last restart, the version of the HW and SW unit, the selected network key, the operating mode of the

unit, etc. The important information which you will need for setting your wireless network is “WiFi MAC

address – BSSID” value. This is the network address of the wireless part of the unit which the unit uses to

point to connect to perform MAC address filtering, you must ensure your unit MAC address passes through

the filter.

2.2.2 Available networks 2

If the unit is in some of operating modes of the “Station” type, after pressing the “Restore“ button on

the “Available networks” page then all available wireless networks will be searched. The table provides

information about the SSID network, the MAC address of the unit found, the operating channel, type of

network and the strength of the signal. After selection of the respective network in the right column it is

possible to set the parameters of the respective network with the “Connect” button. If the network uses any

encrypting standards, it is necessary to set these parameters manually.

2.2.3Data 3

On the “Data” page it is possible to find the statistics of the received and sent packets for the individual

interfaces of the unit since its last restart.

2.2.4 Wireless connection 4

The “Wireless connection” page provides you in Access Point mode, information on the currently

connected Client stations, the amount of transmitted data and the signal strength. Click on the "advanced"

button to enhance the table with other detailed communication parameters with individual stations.

2.2.5 DHCP Clients 5

When the DHCP server is enabled on the unit, the table on the “DHCP Clients” page will report the

currently assigned IP addresses for each client.

2.2.6 WDS Connection 6

If the unit is configured as a part of a WDS system, the table on this page shows the parameters of

the individual stations of the WDS system.

2.2.7 Routing table 7

On the “Routing table” page you can find the actual rules for routing of the unit. It is possible to edit

these rules in the static routes menu.

2.2.8 ARP Table 8

The “ARP Table” page provides information about the MAC addresses of the connected devices

both on the wireless and the metallic side of the unit.

Configuration of the wireless access point LAN

English version 9

2.3 Setting the operating mode 9

The first step during the setting of the unit is the selection of the operating regime in terms of network

routing. You can access this configuration menu through the Network & Firewall menu, on the Network mode

tab. The unit offers 3 operating modes.

The unit is in 1-BRIDGE mode by default, with

both interfaces at the same level. The unit is

accessible at the same IP address at both

interfaces. This setting is usual when using the

device as an access point and in some cases in

client device mode. All settings related to NAT

operation are not available.

Mode 2 is typically used for the operation of the client

unit. The unit is then connected to the Internet using

the wireless interface. The ports on the PSW-105 can

be used for the connection of client computers. Then

the unit will serves as a default gateway for client

computers. The unit is accessible at the corresponding

IP addresses at the LAN and WAN side for

configuration. This setting is usually combined with the

DHCP server function, which automatically assigns addresses to individual computers.

The typical use of Mode 3 is as a unit used as

common wireless router, for example for the

connection of ADSL, or Ethernet. In this case the

Internet is connected with a cable to the PSW-105

switch port labelled as Ethernet.

Then the client computers are wireless connected.

In this case, the radio has to be set to AP mode.

2.4 Setting of the

wireless part

This multifunctional unit operates in the multiple operation modes of Access Point, Station, WDS

System and AP Bridge-WDS and Repeater. The GWP-207VE unit is the most frequently used in the

operating mode, for which it is designated.

The “Access Point” operating mode is used in the case where the unit serves as the central point of

your wireless network and other wireless adapters are then connected to it in the Station-Infrastructure

Mode.

The “Station” operating mode is divided into two types. The “Station” is used in networks with a

central access point as described above. In the case of using the "Ad Hoc" operating mode, you can create

the network directly between single adapters without participation of the access point. (Peer-to-Peer

communication)

The “WDS System” operating mode (also called BRIDGE) is intended mainly for the connection of

two (“Bridge Point-to-Point”) or more (“Bridge Point-to-Multipoint”) LAN networks.

If the “Repeater" operation mode is set, the unit behaves both as an access point and client adapter

of the master unit in the “AP mode”.

Configuration of the wireless access point LAN

English version 10

Why is the WDS System/Bridge mode more suitable for the connection of LAN networks?

When using Station operating modes (both types), the units conforming to WiFi standards change packet

header at second level – that is when the MAC address of the terminal is replaced with a MAC address unit.

In some applications where behind the unit there is more than one terminal, this replacement of the network

address may cause problems. On the contrary, in Bridge modes the unit behaves in a fully transparent

manner also at the second level and the MAC addresses in the header of the packet remain unchanged.

A special case of the WDS System modes is the "WDS Access Point" type. In this operating mode

the unit can be used simultaneously as an Access Point and Bridge connecting LAN networks.

2.4.1 Setting the basic parameters of the wireless connection:

The “Basic Setting” in the "Wireless section” menu defines the most important parameters of radio

data transmission. A description of these parameters is shown in the following table:

Parameter Description

Network Name – SSID

(Basic setting for radio module)

SSID parameter (up to 31 ASCII characters) represents the key, on the

basis of which there is the connection of individual adapters within the

wireless network. Setting the various network keys can ensure the

functioning of several wireless networks in the same area and within the

same frequency range. It is necessary to use SSID identically in the

access point and all client adapters connected to it. The default value of

this key is “GWP-207VEt” but we recommend changing this setting

during installation. SSID is configured in "Access Point", "Station AD-

HOC", "Station-Infrastructure", "WDS System" and "AP-Bridge WDS"

operating modes.

Type of operation:

(Basic setting of the radio module) This item provides the user with the option to define the operating mode

of the unit only for standard 802.11b, only for 802.11g or for both

standards at the same time.

Operating channel:

(Basic setting of the radio module)

Using this setting the user defines the operating channel of the unit. For

use in EU countries (with the exception of Spain) 13 channels are

available in total. Selection of the operating channel is not to be

performed in "Station-Infrastructure" mode as the channel is configured

automatically by the Access Point with same ESSID setting.

Overlapping of Operating Channels

With respect to the division of the frequency range and with regard

to the width of the frequency band used, there is overlapping of individual

channels. Therefore, you get the best results when using WiFi Access

Points so that the units in the respective area are located at least 3 - 5

channels from each other. For example, using channels 1,7,13 when

there is no any interference.

WiFi standard

(Basic setting of the radio module)

You select the standard for the radio section in this field. For use in then

Czech Republic select ETSI.

MAC Address:

(WDS/Bridge setting)

In Bridge and WDS System modes it is necessary to define the MAC

addresses of all connected wireless units which the system uses for the

identification of members of the respective Bridge or WDS structure.

Set Security

(WDS/Bridge Setting)

In WDS type operating modes you can use this button for setting the

encryption of the transmission for security reasons.

Show statistics:

(WDS/Bridge Setting)

In WDS mode using this button it is possible to view a table displaying

statistical information about individual WDS clients.
