    • H – identifies the route to the specific host;
    • G – means that the route lies through the external gateway. System network interface provides routes to networks with direct connection. All other routes lie through external gateways. G flag is used for all routes except for the routes to the direct connection networks.
    • R – indicates that the route was most likely created by a dynamic routing protocol running on the local system using the reinstate parameter;
    • D – indicates that the route was added as a result of receiving an ICMP Redirect Message. When the system learns the route from the ICMP Redirect message, the route will be added into the routing table in order to prevent redirection of the following packets intended for the same destination.
    • M – means that the route was modified – likely by a dynamic routing protocol running on a local system with the 'mod' parameter applied;
    • A – points to a buffered route, which an entry in the ARP table corresponds to.
    • C – means that the core routing buffer is the route source;
    • L – indicates that one of the addresses of the computer is the route destination. Such "local routes" exist in the routing buffer only.
    • B – indicates that a broadcasting address is the route destination. Such "broadcast routes" exist in the routing buffer only.
    • I – indicates that the route is connected to a ring (loopback) interface for a purpose other than to access the ring network. Such 'internal routes' exist in the routing buffer only.
    • ! – means that datagrams sent to the address will be rejected by the system.

Note that channel bandwidth of 80 MHz will operate only according to 802.11ac standard. If the base station has 5 or 10 MHz bandwidth, select the same bandwidth on the user station;
  • Fixed center frequency – when the flag is checked, all traffic (data and management packets) will be transmitted at the specified channel center frequency with a given bandwidth (40 or 80 MHz). The function is proprietary, transmission is not carried out according to IEEE 802.11 standards, where it is supposed to use different center frequencies for data and management traffic with 40/80 MHz bandwidth;
  • Tx Power (dBm) – Wi-Fi transmitter signal strength adjustment, dBm;
  • Fixed Transmit Rate – fixed wireless data transmission rate defined by IEEE 802.11a/n/ac standards;
  • ACK Timeout , µ s – waiting time for packet delivery confirmation from the subscriber;

  • Fragmentation Threshold – frame fragmentation threshold, bytes. The parameter takes values 256-2346, by default – 2346;
  • RTS Threshold – specifies the number of bytes after which the transmission request will be sent (Request to Send). Decreasing the parameter's value might improve access point operation when there are a lot of clients connected. However, it will reduce general bandwidth of a wireless network. The parameter takes values from 0 to 2347, by default – 2347;
  • Frame Aggregation – enable support for AMPDU/AMSDU;
  • Short Preamble – use of the packet short preamble;

Download configuration file from tftp server to the device

WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# manage-config upload tftp <tftp server IP address> <Configuration file name> (Example: manage-config upload tftp 192.168.1.15 config.json)
WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# manage-config apply (Apply configuration to the access point)

Device reboot

The command for rebooting the device.
WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# reboot

Authentication mode configuration

The device has a factory admin account with 'password' password. This account can't be deleted. You can change the password with the following commands.

Changing the password for the admin account

WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# configure
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/# authentication
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# admin-password <New password for admin> (1 to 64 characters, including Latin letters and numbers)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# save

It is possible to create additional users for local authentication as well as authentication via RADIUS. 

One of two roles must be assigned to new users:
admin  – a user with this role will have full access to the configuration and monitoring of the BS;
viewer  – a user with this role will only have access to monitoring the BS.

The following commands are used to create additional users:

Adding new users

WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# configure
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/# authentication
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# user
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user# add userX  (where "userX" - name of the new user. To delete use the del command)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user# exit
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# user
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user# userX
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user/userX# login userX (where "userX" - name of the created user)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user/userX# password <Password for the userX user> (1 to 64 characters, including Latin letters and numbers)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user/userX# role admin  (Configuration rights assigned to user. Possible value: viewer - only monitoring will be available for this user)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/user/userX# save

To authenticate via RADIUS server, you should configure its access parameters.

Configuring RADIUS server access settings

WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# configure
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/# authentication
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# radius
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/radius# auth-address X.X.X.X  (where X.X.X.X - RADIUS server IP address)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/radius# auth-port X  (where X - port of the RADIUS server, which is used for authentication and authorization. Default: 1812)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/radius# auth-password secret (where "secret" - key for RADIUS server, which is used for authentication and authorization)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication/radius# exit
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication# radius-auth true (Enable RADIUS server authentication mode. To disable enter false)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/authentication#  save

When authenticating via RADIUS server, you should always create a local account, which is the same as the account on the RADIUS server.
In this case, in the local account must be specified the role that determines the access rights (admin or viewer). 
If the RADIUS server is unavailable, authentication will be performed using the local account.

Setting the date and time

Commands to configure NTP server time synchronization

WOP-2ac-LR5(root):/# configure
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/# date-time
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time# mode ntp (Enable NTP operation mode. Possible value is manual - set the time manually)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time# ntp
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time/ntp# server <NTP server IP address> (NTP server configuration)
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time/ntp# exit
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time# common
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time/common# timezone 'Asia/Novosibirsk (Novosibirsk)' (Timezone configuration) 
WOP-2ac-LR5(config):/date-time/common# save

Spectrum analyzer

The spectrum analyzer provides information about channel load.

The analysis time for all the radio channels in the range is approximately 5 minutes.

Please note that all clients will disconnect from the base station during spectrum analyzer operation. The client stations will be connected again only when the spectrum analyzer finishes its work.

As a result of the spectrum analyzer operation, information on the loading of each channel (in percent) will be displayed in the console:

System recovering after firmware update failure

If a failure (e.g. due to power cutoff) occured during the firmware update (via the web interface or via DHCP-based automatic update mechanism), and the device does not operate (the 'Power' indicator is solid red), use the following algorithm to recover the device:

  • Unzip the archive with the firmware file.
  • Connect a PC to the device port. Specify the following subnet mask on the network interface: 192.168.1.0/24.
  • Run the TFTP client on the PC (for Windows, it is recommended to use the Tftpd32), specify 192.168.1.6 as the remote host address and select the linux.bin file from the unzipped firmware archive for transferring.
  • Run the command to send a file to the remote host (the Put command). The process of file transmission will be launched.
  • If transmission process has been started, please, wait for its finishing. The device will write the firmware to its memory and launch the system automatically. Writing takes approximately 8 minutes. If the process is completed successfully, the "Power" indicator will be green or orange. The configuration that was used before the failure will be stored on the device. If you can not connect to the device, reset it to factory settings.
  • If the process has not started, make sure that PC network settings are correct and try again. If it does not work, send the device to maintainance service or connect to the device via the COM port using a special adapter (if available) and perform recovery.
