 USING GWN76XX AS MASTER ACCESS POINT CONTROLLER

Master Mode allows a GWN76XX to act as an Access Point Controller managing other GWN76XX access
points. This will allow users adding other access points under one controller and managing them in an
easy and a centralized way.
Master/Slave mode is helpful with large installations that needs more coverage area zones with the same
controller.

Figure 31: Login Page

Warning:
“Set unit as Master” option will forbid the GWN76XX Access Point from being paired by other Master
GWN76XX and can only act as a Master Access point controller.

Users will need to perform a factory reset to the GWN76XX , or unpair it from the initial GWN76XX to make
it open to Master Access Point mode again.

Discover and Pair Other GWN76XX Access Point

First, note that by default the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected
to the same LAN (broadcast domain), but starting from firmware 1.0.5.13/1.0.514 a new possibility has
been added in order to pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43 with master direction
explained below.

Master Direction

To pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP
address of master AP on DHCP option 43 which will be send to the slave access point during booting
stage and allow the save/master connection to be established remotely. GWN76XX accepts option 224
encapsulated in option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple example of DHCP 43 configuration
would be:

224(Type)12(Length)10.157.0.234(Value) translated into Hex as e00c31302e3135372e302e323334

Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network
192.168.1.0/24 and slave AP located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On remote network the admin
can set DHCP option 43 using GWN7000 router as following value:
encap:43,224,”192.168.1.100”.

P a g e | 58
GWN76XX User Manual
Version 1.0.19.29
Note:

 The slave AP has the option ”Allow DHCP Option 43 to override GWN Manager Address” enabled
by default.

Figure 33: Option 43 Override

After that, the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for paring and
provisioning process which is described on the next steps.

To Pair a GWN76XX access point connected to the same Network as the GWN76XX follows the below
steps:

1. Connect to the GWN76XX Web GUI as Master and go to Access Points.

Figure 34: Discover and Pair GWN76XX

2. Click on to discover access points within GWN76XX Network, the following page
will appear.

Figure 35: Discovered Devices

P a g e | 59
GWN76XX User Manual
Version 1.0.19.29
 3. Click on Pair under Actions, to pair the discovered access point as slave with the GWN76XX
acting as Master.

4. The paired GWN76XX will appear Online, users can click on to unpair it.

Figure 36: GWN76XX Online

5. Users can click on next to Master or paired access point to check device configuration for
its status, users connected to it and configuration. Refer to below table for Device Configuration
tabs.

6. Now an easier way to transfer your master authority from one unit to another available unit is
available on Access Point management page. By clicking the then “Transfer
to Master” button the designated slave unit will be upgraded to master and current master will
be downgraded to slave accordingly.

must be between 1 and 31.

 Allow Legacy Devices(802.11b): Check to support 802.11b devices

to connect the AP in 802.11n/g mode.

 Dynamic Channel Assignment: Once enabled, AP will try to

allocate and move the best channel during operation, unlike Auto
Channel Selection (ACS) which scan and assign channel when Wi-
Fi interface goes up for one time.

 Transmit Power Control: TPC algorithm runs every 10 minutes. AP

acquires the RSSI information of the neighbor by wireless scanning
and establishes the neighbor table. The algorithm requires that there
must be at least 3 neighbor APs with RSSI larger than -70dbm.
Otherwise, power will not be adjusted.

 Coverage Hole Detection: CHD enables AP to decide whether to

increase the AP power by the current SNR and SNR threshold of the
connected clients.

Note
If a GWN76XX is not being discovered or the pair icon is grey color, make sure that it is not being paired

Failover Master

In a Master-Slave architecture, having a backup Master is critical for redundancy and failover function,
thus, and in order to avoid a single point of failure in your wireless network, you can specify a slave AP as
failover master. Whenever it detects the master is down, it will promote itself as failover master within a
time frame of around 20~30 minutes by entering failover mode. After then, if the master AP comes back,
failover master will automatically go back to slave mode, or if the master doesn’t come back to alive,
Administrator can login using “failover” account to turn the failover master as true master and take over all
controls.

 Figure 37: Failover Master

Users could select the failover Master by following below steps:

 Log into web GUI of the master GWN.

 Go to Access Points page.
 Press
 Select from the available paired Slave Aps the candidate to become a failover Master.
 Save and Apply the settings.

Failover Mode

Once failover slave has been selected, the primary master will send the configuration of the network to the
failover slave and the slave will start monitoring the status of the primary master to detect any failure for
any reason (network connection loss, power outage).
In case of failure, the failover slave will promote itself to a temporary backup master while waiting for the
primary master to come back.
During the failover mode users could access the web GUI of the failover slave using a special failover
account with same admin password.

 Username = failover
 Password = admin password

The failover mode has only read permission on the configuration and very limited options, users still can
reboot other slave Access points in case it is needed.

Users also can press on « Switch to Master » button in order to set the failover slave as the new primary
master of the wireless network, once this is done they have full write permission control over the web GUI
option as usual. Use that button to switch to master and takeover the rest of the APs.

Important notes:
 If you click « Switch to Master », this would be become a non-revertible behavior. Failover Slave
will become actual master and the prior master can't take back the control anymore.

 When Failover Slave is switched to Master, you will use the Prior Master AP credentials: username:
admin, and the admin password.

 Otherwise, when original master comes back online, then Failover Slave will become slave again
to prior original Master.

Takeover Feature

This feature is used to re-pair the slave APs whose master has gone offline with another master AP in the
same subnet. Please follow the steps to takeover slave APs from other master:

Step 1. Login to the Web GUI of Master and click on “Discover APs” in the Access Points Page.

Note:
 All the previously existed paired APs will be provisioned with the new Master AP.
 The Switch to Master option is unlimited action and doesn’t require any reset for the already paired

Client Bridge

The Client Bridge feature allows an access point to be configured as a client for bridging wired only clients
wirelessly to the network. When an access point is configured in this way, it will share the Wi-Fi connection
to the LAN ports transparently. This is not to be confused with a mesh setup. The client will not accept
wireless clients in this mode.

Once a SSID has the Client Bridge Support enabled, the AP adopted in this SSID can be turned in to
Bridge Client mode by click the then the Bridge button .

Please be noted that once an AP it turned into Client Bridge mode, it cannot be controlled by a Master
anymore, and a factory reset is required to turn it back into normal AP mode.

Important Notes :

 The access point that will be operating on bridge mode, must be set with a fixed IP address before
activating the bridge mode on the access point.

 Users must enable client bridge support option under SSID or SSID Wi-Fi settings in order to have
it fully functional.

 The Client Bridge requires the SSID to not have any VLAN ID enabled.

 CAPTIVE PORTAL

Captive Portal feature on GWN76XX AP helps to define a Landing Page (Web page) that will be displayed
on Wi-Fi clients’ browsers when attempting to access Internet. Once connected to a GWN76XX AP, Wi-Fi
clients will be forced to view and interact with that landing page before Internet access is granted.
The Captive Portal feature can be configured from the GWN76XX Web page under “Captive Portal”.
The page contains following sub-menus: Guest, Policy List, Splash Page and Vouchers.

Guest

This section lists the clients connected or trying to connect to Wi-Fi via Captive Portal.

 Figure 75: Authentication rules

Pre-Authentication Rules

Using this option, users can set rules to match traffic that will be allowed for connected Wi-Fi users before
authentication process. This can be needed for example to setup Facebook authentication where some
traffic should be allowed to Facebook server(s) to process the user’s authentication. Or simply to be used
to allow some type of traffic for unauthenticated users.

Post-Authentication Rules

On the other hand, post authentication rules are used to match traffic that will be banned for Wi-Fi clients
after authentication. As an example, if you want to disallow connected Wi-Fi clients to issue Telnet or SSH
traffic after authentication then you can set post authentication rules to match that traffic and once a
connected client passes the authentication process they will be banned from issuing telnet and SSH
connections.

Vouchers

Voucher Feature Description

Voucher feature will allow clients to have internet access for a limited duration using a code that is randomly
generated from GWN controller.

As an example, a coffee shop could offer internet access to customers via Wi-Fi using voucher codes that
can be delivered on each command. Once the voucher expires the client can no longer connect to the
internet.

P a g e | 97
GWN76XX User Manual
Version 1.0.19.29
Note that multiple users can use a single voucher for connection with expiration duration of the voucher
that starts counting after first successful connection from one of the users that are allowed.

Another interesting feature is that the admin can set data bandwidth limitation on each created voucher
depending on the current load on the network, users’ profile (VIP customers get more speed than regular
ones...etc.) and the internet connection available (fiber, DSL or cable…etc.) to avoid connection
congestion and slowness of the service.

Each created voucher can be printed and served to the customers for usage, and the limit is 1000 vouchers.

The usage of voucher feature needs to be combined with captive portal that is explained after this section,
in order to have the portal page requesting clients to enter voucher code for authentication.

Voucher Configuration
To configure/create vouchers for clients to use, follow below steps:

1. On controller web GUI, navigate under “Captive Portal  Vouchers”

2. Click on button in order to add a new voucher.

3. Enter voucher details which are explained on the next table.

4. Press save to create the voucher(s).

Notes:

 Users can specify how many vouchers to generate which have the same profile, this way the GWN
will generate as many vouchers as needed which do have the same settings avoiding creating
them one by one.

 The admin can verify the status of each vocoder on the list (In use, not used, expired …etc.).

 Press to print the voucher, to delete it or to renew the voucher.

Notes Notes for the admin when checking the list of vouchers.

Using Voucher with GWN Captive Portal

In order to successfully use the voucher feature, users will need to create a captive portal in order to
request voucher authentication codes from users before allowing them access to internet. More details
about captive portal will be covered on next section but for voucher configuration please follow below steps.

1. Go under “Captive Portal  Captive portal” menu.

2. Press in order to add new captive portal policy.

3. Set the following parameters as shown on the screenshot for basic setup then save and apply.

Configures interval between beacon transmissions/broadcasts.
The Beacon signals help to keep the network synchronized and provide
main information about the network such as SSID, Timestamp…

 Using High Beacon Interval: AP will be sending beacon

broadcast less frequently. This will help to get better throughput,
thus better speed/performance. It also helps to save Wi-Fi clients
energy consumption.

 Using Low Beacon Interval: AP will be sending beacon

broadcast more frequently. This can help in environments with
weak signal areas; sending more frequently beacons will increase
chances to be received by Wi-Fi clients with weak signal.

Notes:
Beacon Interval
1. When AP enables several SSIDs with different interval values,
the max value will take effect.

2. When AP enables less than 3 SSIDs, the interval value which

will be effective are the values from 40 to 500.

3. When AP enables more than 2 but less than 9 SSIDs, the

interval value which will be effective are the values from 100 to
500.

4. When AP enables more than 8 SSIDs, the interval value which

will be effective are the values from 200 to 500.

Channel Selection (ACS) which scan and assign channel when
Wi-Fi interface goes up for one time.

This feature is not supported on GWN7602/7660.

 Transmit Power Control: TPC algorithm runs every 10 minutes.

AP acquires the RSSI information of the neighbor by wireless
scanning and establishes the neighbor table. The algorithm
requires that there must be at least 3 neighbor APs with RSSI
larger than -70dbm. Otherwise, power will not be adjusted.

This feature is not supported on GWN7602/7660.

By default, GWN has DHCP relay, but users could create and manage multiple DHCP server pools which
will be mapped to the SSID using VLAN tag, for example when creating a DHCP pool under “System
Settings  DHCP Server” users need to set a VLAN ID and same one should be set under SSID to map
the configured DHCP pool with the SSID. This way users could configure multiple SSIDs mapped to

LEDs

GWN76XX Access Points series support also the LED schedule feature. This feature is used to set the
timing when the LEDs are ON and when they will go OFF at customer’s convenience.

This can be useful for example when the LEDs become disturbing during some periods of the day, this
way with the LED scheduler, you can set the timing so that the LEDs are off at night after specific hours
and maintain the Wi-Fi service for other clients without shutting down the AP.

Mesh

In Mesh Network, wireless connection is established between multiple Aps, which is used to pass-through
data traffic rather than client association. Each AP will evaluate the performance of wireless channel based
on several factors and choose one or multiple appropriate APs to setup connection.

In a mesh network, access points are categorized to two types:

 CAP (Central Access Point): this is an access point that has an uplink connection to the wired
network.

P a g e | 118
GWN76XX User Manual
Version 1.0.19.29
  RE (Range Extender): This is an access point that participate on the mesh network topology and
has a wireless uplink connection to the central network.

In order to deploy mesh access points (RE), users/installers can follow below steps:

1. Make sure to have the master and CAP access points already deployed (sometimes the CAP
access points can be the master controller of the network).

2. Next, we need to pair the RE access points to the master. This can be done in two ways:

A. Connect all REs to the same wired LAN as the master then perform the normal process of
discovery/pairing process, and after successfully pairing the APs they can be deployed on the
field.

B. REs can also be discovered wirelessly when powered via PSU or PoE Injector, and admin
can configure them after discovery. This requires that the REs must be within the range of the
Master or CAP Slave’s signals coverage.

Note: If there are other GWN APs broadcasting in the same field with different subnet, RE may be
wirelessly connected to those networks and cannot be discovered and paired by your Master.
Therefore, it is recommended to use the first method of wired pairing and then deploy those REs.

3. After that all slave access points have been deployed and paired to the master, you can directly
manage them to operate the mesh network. Mesh service configuration is the same as transitional
GWN WLAN.

4. Log into the master page, and under Access Points page you can see the information, for example
the AP in the “Online Wireless” state is the RE (Range Extender) with a wireless uplink to the
CAP. The APs showing “Online” state are either a wired master or CAP.

Figure 89: Access Points Status

For Global mesh network settings, on GWN76XX, navigate to the menu “System Settings  Mesh”
for setting up the following parameters described below:

Define how many AP can be cascaded wirelessly with the AP. The minimum
Wireless Cascades
value is 1 and maximum value is 3.

For more detailed information about GWN Mesh network feature, you may refer to the following technical
document: Mesh Network Guide.

Important Notes:
 The RE should be set with DHCP Mode for a Client device connected to NET PORT to acquire an
IP Address.
 If RE is set with static IP, then using a PoE injector is recommended as any Network activity
detected by the AP will cause the Mesh to fail. Otherwise user will only need to make sure that
there is no DHCP Server in the network connected to the AP's Ethernet port.
