Annotation
This manual specifies the following:
...
To perform the configuration, you need to have PC with access to the device via Ethernet and any web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.)
Connecting the web interface
Connection of PC to the device might be executed as follows:
...
If the authorization page is not displayed after entering the device IP in the browser, check the IP address on the PC and switch settings. If the configuration on the device has been changed (is not a default one), reset the device to factory settings. To perform this, press and hold the button «F» on the side panel of the device within 20 seconds.
Configuration of WOP-12ac network parameters
For remote management of WOP-12ac, you should set network parameters of the device according to the settings of the network that you intend to use.
In the «Manage» menu, open «Ethernet Settings» tab and perform the following:
...

Before changing the settings, make sure that the managing computer has the access to the access point. If you make a mistake while changing the settings, you may undo them by resetting the access point to factory settings. To perform this, press and hold «F» button on the side panel of the device for 20 seconds until the indicator on the front panel is blinking. |
WOP-12ac firmware update
For proper operation of WOP-12ac, it is recommended to update the firmware. You may consult the vendor on the relevance of the firmware version:
...
You may check the current firmware version in the «Basic Settings» menu (Firmware Version).
SNMP service configuration
SNMP service configuration is performed in the «Services» menu, «SNMP» section.
...
- Restrict the source of SNMP requests to only the designated hosts or subnets – check the «Enabled» box.
- Hostname, address, or subnet of Network Management System – specify an IP-address of SNMP server, from which SNMP commands will be transmitted.
- Community name for traps – set «public».
- Enabled/Host Type/Host name or IP or IPv6 Address– check one of the fields for specifying traps receiver address and enter an IP address of the device to which WOP-12ac will send traps.
- Click «Update».
Wireless interfaces configuration
WOP-12ac has 2 radio interfaces which are capable to operate simultaneously – Radio 1 and Radio 2. Each interface is capable to operate on its frequency band in different wireless network modes.
The example of configuration of a network with the following characteristics is given below:
...
- Radio – select the «2»
- Channel Bandwidth – set value «80MHz».
- Click «Update».
Virtual access points configuration
On each wireless interface, you may configure up to 16 virtual access points. Each access point may have individual name of wireless network (SSID) and type of authentication/authorization. According to the network scheme given in the figure 1, it is necessary to configure 2 virtual access points on Radio 1 and Radio 2.

When using WPA Enterprise mode, the authorization is implemented through a RADIUS server. The request on user connection to SSID is sent to a RADIUS server. The table Global RADIUS server settings specifies the following:

Monitoring main parameters of wireless network
You may view the list of connected users in the «Status» menu, «Client Association» tab.
...
To obtain more detailed information, read the full user manual (1.20.0. WOP-12ac. User manual).
Cluster operation mode
Description
The cluster operation mode allows to manage devices in a cluster simultaneously, that sufficiently improves operation efficiency while deploying, configuring or exploiting a wireless network.
...
WOP-12ac announces its affiliation to a cluster through a special protocol. The device sends broadcast UDP packets to LAN with data on affiliation to a particular cluster. Thus, all the access points included to a cluster exchange data among them, identify a master of the cluster and its configuration. The master carries out an inventory of the devices in the cluster and always controls the quantity of the access points in the cluster and their addresses.
Installation
It is sufficient that only one access point be configured when deploying a network. For providing data exchange among devices in a cluster, you should install a DHCP server for network addresses distribution.
Network installation algorithm:
...
After installing the first access point, you do not need to configure the rest, it is sufficient to connect them physically to the network. The devices will obtain network addresses, define the master of the «default» cluster and will be automatically configured according to the master configuration.
Cluster configuration
| Предупреждение |

The device may operate in a cluster only if WDS (Wireless Distribution System) and WGB (Work Group Bridge) features are disabled. |

Monitoring
To view sessions parameters of clients connected to the access points of given cluster, switch to the «Sessions» tab. Clients are defined through MAC addresses and an access points which they are connected to. To view the statistics, select necessary value and click «Go» in the «Display» section.
...
- IP Address – IP address of the access point in the cluster;
- Radio – MAC address of a radio interface of the access point in the cluster;
- Proposed Channel – a channel number to which the radio interface will switch when optimal channel selection is launched.
Firmware update
The operation in the cluster mode allows to perform automatic firmware update for all the access points in the cluster without using external systems or controllers.
Firmware update might be performed:
- through web interface;
- through DHCP Autoprovisioning (opt 66, opt 67).
Firmware update via web interface
To update firmware on devices in a cluster through web interface, open the «Cluster Firmware Upgrade» tab of an access point.
When updating firmware of devices in a cluster, the firmware file will be loaded to each access point and set to «Primary Image». Reloading of the devices with new firmware version loading is performed automatically. The previous firmware version will be saved as «Secondary Image» (backup firmware version).
Perform the following in the «Cluster Firmware Upgrade» tab:
...
Click «Start-Upgrade» to start updating.
While firmware updating, do not switch off the devices and do not update or change the web page with progress bar.
Firmware updating through DHCP Autoprovisioning
To update firmware, you need a TFTP server and a DHCP server with particular configuration. The updating process is as follows:
