Extracted from "B2Bchannelblog.com" http://b2bchannelblog.com/2013/03/10/spectrum-analysis-a-powerful-tool-for-modern-wifi-infrastructure/ The increasing congestion of the 2.4 frequency together with the challenges originated by the BYOD requires that the ICT channel must use effective and possibly economical powerful tools for the analysis and troubleshooting of modern infrastructure Wifi. Fortunately, vendors like 4ipnet incorporate these tools in their Access points (AP). In this post I would propose an example of how to use the Spectrum Analysis to identify interferences due to a microwave at the AP level. Back to basic. In its essential configuration, a Wifi infrastructure is composed by an Access Point and a client. This is like a marriage: in order to avoid problems is essential that the two can talk and listen to each other (Fig 1). In an ideal word, the capacity of the two ‘spouses’ to communicate is determined by the combination of the transmit power (TX) , the ...

Introducing 4ipnet's Multi-level administrative accounts feature, suitable for Enterprise Wireless LAN Solutions. More flexible and user-friendlier than ever, administrators can now configure different privileged for other IT personnel within other service zones and customize their policy access according to the venue's security access limitations. For instance, hotel personnel can differentiate their wireless administrative privileges between an MIS and a staff member, an enterprise setting can alsodifferentiate administrative privileges from a MIS to an entry level intern.  

Managing SDS200W on the Web Management Interface SDS200W is designed specifically to operate in conjunction with all 4ipnet Gateways/Controllers, including both HSG and WHG series. If you are not using default settings, before connecting SDS200W to your 4ipnet Gateway/Controller, some configurations steps are required. Go to the Web Management Interface (WMI) for SDS200W’s relevant configurations. The default values are: IP address: 192.168.1.10 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 Remember to set the TCP/IP settings of the computer you use with a static IP address that is under the same subnet as SDS200W. For example: 192.168.1.20. The settings of SDS200W are separated into seven categories, which are 1. System – to setup the system name and device control. 2. Uplink – to determine wired / wireless relevant parameters. Any change on this page will take effect after rebooting the system. 3. Console – to change console related settings for POS...

Terminal Configuration is a list of serial-to-Ethernet devices that communicate with the system only; never get online and no need to go through authentication. SDS200W is an innovative product 4ipnet offers to facilitate the communication between 4ipnet hotspot gateway and serial POS printer. It is mainly used to have the connected printer fast-print necessary account information extracted from a 4ipnet hotspot gateway for a user who would like to access the Internet or managed networks, making provisioning of wired or wireless connection easier and more user-friendly. What is noteworthy is that, SDS200W supports wireless connectivity to the uplink gateway. That is, operators now can deploy a network with lesser physical wires.
