Product Information

Edimax Pro Network Management Suite (NMS) supports the central management of a group of access points, otherwise known as an AP Array. NMS can be installed on one access point and support up to 8 Edimax Pro access points with  no additional wireless controller required, reducing costs and facilitating efficient remote AP management.
Access points can be deployed and configured according to requirements, creating a powerful network architecture which can be easily managed and expanded in the future, with an easy to use interface and a full range of functionality –  ideal for small and mid-sized office environments. A secure WLAN can be deployed and administered from a single point, minimizing cost and complexity.Quick Setup

Edimax Pro NMS is simple to setup. An overview of the system is shown below:
One AP (access point) is designated as the AP Controller (master) and other connected Edimax Pro APs are automatically designated as Managed APs (slaves). Using Edimax Pro NMS you can monitor, configure and manage all Managed APs (up to 8) from the single AP Controller.
Follow the steps below:
Ensure you have the latest firmware from the Edimax website for your Edimax Pro products.

1.  Connect all APs to an Ethernet or PoE switch which is connected to a gateway/router.

2. Ensure all APs are powered on and check LEDs.

IV-6-6. MAC Filter
Mac filtering is a security feature that can help to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your access point.
This function allows you to define a list of network devices permitted to connect to the access point. Devices are each identified by their unique MAC address. If a device which is not on the list of permitted MAC addresses attempts to connect to the access point, it will be denied.
To enable MAC filtering, go to “Local Settings” “Security” “Additional Authentication” and select “MAC Filter” (see IV-6-2-3. & IV-6-3-3).
The MAC address filtering table is displayed below:

Add MAC Address| Enter a MAC address of computer or network device manually e.g. ‘aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff’ or enter multiple MAC addresses separated with commas, e.g. ‘aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff,aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-gg’
---|---
Add| Click “Add” to add the MAC address to the MAC address filtering table.
Reset| Clear all fields.

MAC address entries will be listed in the “MAC Address Filtering Table”. Select an entry using the “Select” checkbox.

will pop up for you to select a location to save the file.

IV-6-7. WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification based on the IEEE 802.11e standard, which provides Quality of Service (QoS) features to IEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four categories: background, best effort, video and voice.

Configuring WMM consists of adjusting parameters on queues for different categories of wireless traffic. Traffic is sent to the following queues:

Background| Low
Priority| High throughput, non time sensitive bulk data e.g. FTP
---|---|---
Best Effort| Medium
Priority| Traditional IP data, medium throughput and delay.
Video| High
Priority| Traditional IP data, medium throughput and delay.
Voice| High
Priority| Time sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media with minimum time delay.

Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delays for video, voice, multimedia and critical applications. The values can further be adjusted manually:

CWMin| Minimum Contention Window (milliseconds):
This value is input to the initial random backoff wait time algorithm for retry of a data frame transmission. The backoff wait time will be generated between 0 and this value. If the frame is not sent, the random backoff value is doubled until the value reaches the number defined by CWMax (below). The CWMin value must be lower than the CWMax value. The contention window scheme helps to avoid frame collisions and determine priority of frame transmission. A shorter window has a higher probability (priority) of transmission.
---|---
CWMax| Maximum Contention Window (milliseconds): This value is the upper limit to random backoff value doubling (see above).
AIFSN| Arbitration Inter-Frame Space (milliseconds): Specifies additional time between when a channel goes idle and the AP/client sends data frames. Traffic with a lower AIFSN value has a higher priority.
TxOP| Transmission Opportunity (milliseconds): The maximum interval of time an AP/client can transmit. This makes channel access more efficiently prioritized. A value of 0 means only one frame per transmission. A greater value effects higher priority.

Appendix

V-1. Configuring your IP address

The access point uses the default IP address 192.168.2.2. In order to access the browser based configuration interface, you need to modify the IP address of your computer to be in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.2.x (x = 3 –254).
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system.
In the following examples we use the IP address 192.168.2.10 though you can use any IP address in the range 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254).

If you changed the AP Controller’s IP address, or if your gateway/router uses a DHCP server, ensure you enter the correct IP address. Refer to your gateway/router’s settings. Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the AP Controller.
If using a DHCP server on the network, it is advised to use your DHCP server’s settings to assign the AP Controller a static IP address.
