Device description
Purpose
WEP-30L wireless access point is designed to provide the user access to high-speed and secure network.
The main purpose of the device is to create a Layer 2 wireless network at the junction with a wired network. WEP-30L connects to a wired network over 10/100/1000/2500M Ethernet interface and using radio interfaces creates wireless high-speed access for devices that support Wi-Fi technology in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
The device contains 2 radio interfaces for organizing two physical wireless networks.
WEP-30L supports modern quality of service requirements and allows one to transmit the most important traffic in higher priority queues than normal. Prioritization is provided by the following QoS technologies: CoS (special tags in the VLAN packet field) and ToS (tags in the IP packet field). Support for traffic shaping on each VAP allows one to fully manage access, quality of service and restrictions both for all subscribers and for everyone in particular.
The device is designed for installation in offices (government institutions, conference rooms, laboratories, hotels, etc.). Ability to create virtual hotspots with different encryption types allows one to place WEP-30L in organizations where separation of access rights is required between ordinary users and dedicated user groups.

Rules and recommendations for device installation
This section defines safety rules, installation recommendations, setup procedure and the device starting procedure.
Safety rules
- Do not install the device near heat source and at places where temperature may reach values below
+5 °C or higher 40 °C. - Do not use the device in rooms with high humidity. Do not expose the device to smoke, dust, water, mechanical vibration or shock.
- Do not open the device case. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Предупреждение |
---|
To prevent overheating of the device components and malfunction of the device, do not block the ventilation holes with foreign objects and do not place objects on the equipment surface. |
Installation recommendations
1. The recommended installation position: horizontal, on the ceiling.
2. Before installing the device and turning it on, check the device for visible mechanical defects. If defects are observed, stop the device installation, fill in the corresponding act and contact the supplier.
3. If your device has been exposed to the cold for a long period of time, let it warm up at room temperature for two hours before starting work. If your device has been exposed to high humidity for a long period of time, let it stay under normal conditions for at least 12 hours before turning it on.
4. When placing your device, in order to provide the best Wi-Fi coverage consider the following rules:
- Install the device at the center of a wireless network;
- Minimize the number of barriers (walls, ceilings, furniture, and etc.) between WEP-30L and other wireless network devices;
- Do not install the device near (about 2 m) electrical and radio devices;
- It is not recommended to use radiophone and other equipment operating at the frequency of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, within the range of a Wi-Fi network;
- Obstacles like glass/metal constructions, brick/concrete walls, water cans and mirrors can significantly reduce Wi-Fi action radius. It is not recommended to place the device inside a false ceiling as metal frame causes multipath signal propagation and signal attenuation.
5. When installing several access points, cell action radius must overlap with action radius of a neighboring cell at the level from -65 to -70 dBm. It is allowed to reduce the signal level to -75 dBm at cell boundaries, if it is not intended to use VoIP, video streaming and other sensitive to losses traffic in wireless network.

Calculating the number of required access points
To calculate the required number of access points, evaluate the required coverage zone. For more accurate assessment, it is necessary to make a radio examination of the room. Approximate radius of WEP-30L coverage area with a good-quality signal in case of mounting on a ceiling in typical office: 2.4 GHz — 40–50 m,
5 GHz — 20–30 m. In the absence of obstacles, the coverage radius: 2.4 GHz — up to 100 m, 5 GHz — up to
60 m. Table 4 describes rough attenuation values.
Table 4 — Attenuation values
Material | Change of signal level, dB | |
---|---|---|
2.4 GHz | 5 GHz | |
Organic glass | -0.3 | -0.9 |
Brick | -4.5 | -14.6 |
Glass | -0.5 | -1.7 |

The “Radio” menu
In the “Radio” menu, the wireless interface can be configured.
The “Radio 2.4 GHz” submenu
In the “Radio 2.4 GHz” submenu, the main parameters of the radio interface of the device operating in the 2.4 GHz band can be configured.
- Mode — interface operation mode according to the following standards:
- IEEE 802.11ax;
- IEEE 802.11b/g/n;
- IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax.
- Auto Channel — when checked, the device will automatically select the least congested radio channel for the Wi-Fi interface. Unchecking the flag opens the access to install the static operation channel;
- Channel — select channel for data transmission;
- Use Limit Channels — when checked, the access point will use a user-defined list of channels to work in automatic channel selection mode. If the “Use Limit channels” flag is not checked or there are no channels in the list, the access point will select the operation channel from all available channels in the given band. 2.4 GHz band channels: 1–13;
- Channel Bandwidth, MHz — channel bandwidth, on which the access point operates. The parameter may take values 20 and 40 MHz;
- Primary Channel — the parameter can only be changed if the bandwidth of a statically specified channel is equal to 40 MHz. The 40 MHz channel can be considered as consisting of two 20 MHz channels, which border in the frequency range. These two 20 MHz channels are called primary and secondary channels. The primary channel is used by clients who only support 20 MHz channel bandwidth:
- Upper — the primary channel will be the upper 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band;
- Lower — the primary channel will be the lower 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band.
- Transmit Power Limit, dBm — adjustment of the signal strength of the Wi-Fi transmitter in dBm. Accepts value from 4 to 16 dBm.
Подсказка |
---|
If the “Use Limit channels” list contains a channel that is not available for selection, it will be marked in grey. In order for the new configuration to be applied to an access point, only available (blue highlighted) channels must be specified in the “Use Limit channels” list. Example. No settings have been made on the access point yet, Radio 2.4 GHz is set to 20 MHz “Channel Bandwidth” by default, and channels are specified in the “Use Limit channels” list: 1, 6, 11.
If you change the “Channel Bandwidth” parameter to 40 MHz and do not remove the “grey” channels from the list, then when you click on the “Apply” button in the browser an error will appear — “There are errors in data. Changes were not applied”. Accordingly, the access point configuration will not be changed. This is due to the fact that channels in the “Use Limit channels” list that are highlighted in grey do not fit the definition “Primary Channel” = Lower. |
In the “Advanced” section, it is possible to configure advanced radio interface parameters of the device.
- OBSS Coexistence — automatic channel bandwidth reduction when the channel is loaded. When the flag is set, the mode is enabled;
- Short Guard Interval — support for Short Guard Interval. Access point transmits data using 400 ns guard interval (instead of 800 ns) to clients which also support Short Guard Interval;
- STBC — Space-Time Block Coding method dedicated to improve data transmission reliability. When checked, the device transmits one data flow through several antennas. When unchecked, the device does not transmit the same data flow through several antennas;

The “Radio 5 GHz” submenu
In the “Radio 5 GHz” submenu, the main parameters of the radio interface of the device operating in the 5 GHz band can be configured.
- Mode — select interface operation mode according to the following standards:
- IEEE 802.11ax;
- IEEE 802.11a/n/ac;
- IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax.
- Auto Channel — when checked, the device will automatically select the least congested radio channel for the Wi-Fi interface. Removing the flag opens the access to install the static operation channel;
- Channel — select channel for data transmission;
- Use Limit Channels — when checked, the access point will use a user-defined list of channels to work in automatic channel selection mode. If the “Use Limit channels” flag is not checked or there are no channels in the list, the access point will select the operation channel from all available channels in the given band. 5 GHz band channels: 36–64, 132–144, 149–165;
- Channel Bandwidth, MHz — channel bandwidth, on which the access point operates. The parameter may take values of 20, 40 and 80 MHz;
- Primary Channel — the parameter can only be changed if the bandwidth of a statically specified channel is equal to 40 MHz. The 40 MHz channel can be considered as consisting of two 20 MHz channels, which border in the frequency range. These two 20 MHz channels are called primary and secondary channels. The primary channel is used by clients who only support 20 MHz channel bandwidth:
- Upper — the primary channel will be the upper 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band;
- Lower — the primary channel will be the lower 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band.
- Transmission Power Limit, dBm — transmitting Wi-Fi signal power adjustment, dBm. May take values between 4 and 19 dBm.

If the “Use Limit channels” list contains a channel that is not available for selection, it will be marked in grey. In order for the new configuration to be applied to an access point, only available (blue highlighted) channels must be specified in the “Use Limit channels” list. Example. No settings have been made on the access point yet, Radio 5 GHz is set to 20 MHz “Channel Bandwidth” by default, and channels are specified in the “Use Limit channels” list: 36, 40, 44, 48.
If you change the “Channel Bandwidth” parameter to 40 MHz and do not remove the “grey” channels from the list, then when you click on the “Apply” button in the browser an error will appear — “There are errors in data. Changes were not applied”. Accordingly, the access point configuration will not be changed. This is due to the fact that channels in the “Use Limit channels” list that are highlighted in grey do not fit the definition “Primary Channel” = Upper. |

Full support for this functionality is planned for future releases. |
This type of roaming is available only for client devices supporting 802.11r.
802.11r roaming is possible only between VAPs with WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Enterprise security modes.
See instructions for configuring VAP with WPA2-Personal security mode and others in Configuration of VAP with WPA-Personal security mode section.
Each VAP on the access points should be configured individually, eg. AP1(wlan1)↔AP2(wlan1), AP1(wlan0)↔AP2(wlan0), AP1(wlan1)↔AP3(wlan1), etc.
Below is the example of 802.11r configuring on two access points: AP1 and AP2.

802.11k configuration
Подсказка |
---|
Full support for this functionality is planned for future releases. |
802.11k protocol roaming can be organized between any networks (open/secure). If the access point is configured to work using the 802.11k protocol, then when a client connects, the access point sends the list of “friendly” access points to which a client can switch in a roaming process. The list contains information about access points' MAC addresses and channels they work with.
The use of 802.11k allows to reduce the time for finding another network when roaming, since the client does not need to scan channels on which there are no target access points available for switching.
This type of roaming is available only for client devices supporting 802.11k.
Below is the example of 802.11k configuring access point — making a list of “friendly” access points.

The spectrum analyzer provides information on channel congestion in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The result is displayed as a percentage.
Предупреждение |

While the spectrum analyzer is running, all clients are disconnected from the access point. Clients will only reconnect when the spectrum analyzer has finished its work. The analysis time for all radio channels of two bands is approximately 5 minutes. |

The spectrum analyzer operates only on those channels that are specified in the limit-channels parameter in the radio interface settings. For example, if the channels' 1 6 11 'are specified in the limit-channels on wlan0, and the channels '36 40 44 48' are specified on wlan1, then the spectrum analysis will be performed only for channels 1, 6, 11, 36, 40, 44, 48. In order to analyze all channels of the range on which the radio interface operates, change the value of the use-limit-channels parameter in the settings of each radio interface to false. After receiving the results of the spectrum analyzer, set the use-limit-channels value back to the original value true. For more information on configuring the radio interface through the CLI, see the Radio configuration section. |
