Introduction

WILI CPE is skin designed for customer premises equipment of wireless ISPs. It's intended use is on devices linking wireless access points of WISP operator with customer's wired or wireless LAN segment, or direct ethernet connection to a customer'scomputer. Skin was created with a purpose not to overwhelm a customer with many possible WILI-S softwareconfiguration options that are not related to this specific domain of networking equipment, being simple,functional and great looking were the primary objectives.



Operation Mode

WILI CPE device can operate as transparent Bridge or Router.



Bridge Mode

The WILI CPE device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. In this mode all LAN ports and Wireless interface will be a part of the Bridge.

Image:Bridge.jpg

With a Bridge, all connected computers are in the same network subnet. The only data that is allowed to cross the bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address on the other side of the bridge.



Router Mode

In router mode WILI CPE will receive internet through WAN port and will share it to the LAN ports that will be separate with different IP range. The type of connection to the WAN interface can be made by Static IP, DHCP client or PPPoE.

Image:Router.jpg

When device operates in Router mode, the traffic coming on wired interface and going out on wireless interface can be masqueraded by enabling NAT. NAT allows a set of CPE clients to invisibly access the Internet via the WILI CPE. To other clients on the Internet, all this outgoing traffic will appear to be from the WILI CPE device itself.




Quick Setup

1. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the WILI CPE.

2. Make sure your computer is set to the same subnet as the WILI CPE, i.e. 192.168.2.150

3. Start your WEB browser.

4. Each WILI CPE devices uses following default settings:

  • WAN IP: 192.168.2.66
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • username: admin
  • password: admin01

The initial login screen looks as follow:

The information in this screenshot displays that CPE is operating in Bridge mode and associated to the AP with SSID "www.wilibox.com".



Configuration Guide

Each of the management windows (listed below) contains parameters that affect a specific aspect of the CPE device:

Image:Cpemenu.jpg


Status – displays current CPE status.

Configuration – prepares device for use in a wireless network, controls how CPE associates to an access point, authenticates to the wireless network, encrypts and decrypts data. The configuration menu includes also various tools such as Site Survey, Antenna Alignment, Syslog Viewer.

System – controls main system maintenance parameters, administrator login credentials, firmware upgrade, clock settings.



Status

The Status page displays a summary of status information of your WILI CPE. It shows important information for the station operating mode, network settings as well as information of connected clients to the CPE.

Image:Status.jpg

Radio information - displays information where the WILI CPE has associated.

Network statistics - displays the receive/transmit statistics of all interfaces.

Leased DHCP addresses - displays the list of clients connected to the WILI CPE and information on IP addresses leased by DHCP to each of the client.


Configuration

The Configuration page allows you to manage general parameters of the WILI CPE. Configuration page contains following sub menus:

  • Network - to set management mode and main network configuration for WILI CPE.
  • Wireless - to setup general wireless settings.
  • Firewall - to create a Port Forwarding rules.
  • Tools - antenna alignment, site survey and syslog tools.



Network

The Configuration | Network page allows you to control the network configuration of the device. First, radio operation mode should be defined to work as a bridge or router. The content of the window varies depending on your selection:

Image:Operatingmode.jpg

Operating mode - choose the CPE operating mode [bridge/router]

  • bridge - in this mode WILI CPE works as transparent bridge interconnecting wireless network and all LAN ports. The Firewall related functions and NAT are not available in this mode.
  • router - in this mode WILI CPE works as router between wireless network and all LAN ports.

Network settings will vary according selected Operation mode. The Bridge mode allows to configure only CPE LAN IP settings, while the Router mode requires more parameters such as LAN network settings, WAN network settings, LAN DHCPS settings to be configured.



Bridge Mode

When CPE is configured to operate in Bridge mode, CPE LAN settings and Bandwidth Control can be configured:

Image:Cpe-Network-bridge.png


LAN Settings

DHCP mode - specify IP reception method: IP addresses can either be retrieved from a DHCP server or configured manually [disabled/client]. If DHCP client mode is chosen and a DHCP server is not available, the device will try to get an IP. If has no success, it will use a fallback IP address.

IP Address - enter IP address for WILI CPE.

Netmask - enter a subnet mask for WILI CPE.

Gateway IP - enter a gateway IP address for WILI CPE.

Image:info.jpg When assigning IP address make sure that the chosen IP address is unused and belongs to the same IP subnet as your wired LAN, otherwise you will loose the connection to the WILI CPE from your current PC. If you enable the DHCP client, the browser will loose the connection after reboot, because the IP address assigned by the DHCP server is not predictable.


Bandwidth Control

Enable - select to enable bandwidth control.

Wireless

The Wireless page is devided in three sections: Basic Wireless Settings, Country Code and Advanced Wireless Settings.

Image:saukt.jpg Before changing radio settings manually verify that your settings will comply with local government regulations. At all times, it is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that the installation complies with local radio regulations. Refer to the Regulatory Domain/Channels for information about regulatory domains.


Image:Cpewireless.jpg


Country code – choose from drop-down list the country in which you will use the CPE device. According to the country chosen the regulatory domain settings change. You are not allowed to select radio channels and RF output power values other the permitted values for your country and regulatory domain (Refer to the Regulatory Domain/Channels for information about regulatory domains).


Use Basic Wireless Settings to setup radio interface of the CPE:

Enable radio - select to enable radio.

IEEE mode – specify the wireless network mode. The list of IEEE modes will conform to the wireless network modes supported by the CPE.

Image:info.jpg The IEEE mode list varies depending on the selected country code in accordance with the regulatory domain.

Throughput enhancements - enable the Atheros super features [Fast Frame, Packet Bursting, Dynamic Turbo]. Atheros Super AG ® enhanced technologies offers the highest actual throughput - 1.5 to 2 times faster than standard 802.11g or 802.11a/g products in the wireless LAN.

Fast Frames - packet aggregation and timing modifications. The fast frames is only available on A and G IEEE modes.
Packet Bursting - more data frames per given time period. The packet bursting is only available on A and G IEEE modes.
Dynamic Turbo - choose to maximize throughput using multiple channels. Dynamic Turbo is only available on A and G IEEE modes.

SSID – specify the SSID of the wireless network device where the WILI CPE will be associated to.

Scan - click this button to scan for the AP list. The CPE radio will scan for all AP and will generate a list, from which the SSID of the proper AP can be selected.

Current channel – displays the channel at which the device is operating currently.

Channel – select the channel, or function auto from the drop-down list. Multiple frequency channels are available to avoid interference between nearby access points. If you wish to operate more than one access point in overlapping coverage areas, we recommend a distance of at least four channels between the chosen channels. For example, for three Access Points in close proximity choose channels 1, 6 and 11. The auto channel function is used to find the best channel for wireless device communication (either an unused channel or if all are in use that with the lowest measured signal strength).

Image:info.jpg The available channel’s list varies depending on the selected country code and IEEE mode of the WILI AP device.

The default channel bandwidth for 802.11 radio is 20MHz in 11a mode and 22MHz in 11g mode (for the turbo mode these are the double ones). It is possible to narrow down the bandwidth twice or four times by choosing Half/Quarter rates. Although this will drop down the data transfer rates, the power density will be increased and it may help to achieve greater operation distances (see figure below).

Image:Bandwidth.jpg

Image:info.jpg The Half/Quarter rates are only available on A and G IEEE mode, the Dynamic Turbo option should be disabled.

Quality of service – enable to support quality of service for traffic prioritizing.

Station WDS mode - enable ability to connect CPE to the AP in WDS mode.

Automatic data rate mode – specify the automatic data rate mode status. If this option is specified the CPE will use all data rates lower or equal to the value of Data rate (described below).

Data rate, Mbps – choose the data rates in Mbps at which WILI CPE should transmit packets to or receive packets from AP.

Security mode - choose the wireless security at which the WILI CPE associates to a wireless device and encrypts and decrypts data:

Open system – disable security.
WPA/PSK – choose the WPA security with pre-shared key.
WPA/TKIP/PEAP/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA security encrypted by the TKIP algorithm with authentication method PEAP MSCHAPV2.
WPA/TKIP/EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA security encrypted by the TKIP algorithm with authentication method EAP-TTLS MSCHAPV2.
WPA/CCMP/PEAP/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA security encrypted by the CCMP algorithm with authentication method PEAP MSCHAPV2.
WPA/CCMP/EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA security encrypted by the CCMP algorithm with authentication method EAP-TTLS MSCHAPV2.
WPA2/PSK – choose the WPA2 security with pre-shared key.
WPA2/TKIP/PEAP/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA2 security encrypted by the TKIP algorithm with authentication method PEAP MSCHAPV2.
WPA2/TKIP/EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA2 security encrypted by the TKIP algorithm with authentication method EAP-TTLS MSCHAPV2.
WPA2/CCMP/PEAP/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA2 security encrypted by the CCMP algorithm with authentication method PEAP MSCHAPV2.
WPA2/CCMP/EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPV2 – choose the WPA2 security encrypted by the CCMP algorithm with authentication method EAP-TTLS MSCHAPV2.

Passphrase - specify the WPA or WPA2 passphrase [8-63 characters]. The passphrase will be converted to pre-shared key format, selected above.

Identity - specify identity name. Used only when TKIP ir CCMP encryption is chosen.



Use the Advanced wireless settings section to setup advanced wireless of the CPE device.


Image:info.jpg The Advanced wireless settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on CPE device.

Transmit power – specify the radio transmit power at which the WILI CPE transmits data in dBm using slider or enter the value manually. When entering transmit power value manually, the slider position will change according to the entered value. The transmit power level that is actually used is limited to the maximum value allowed by your country's regulatory agency.

ACK timeout – specify the ACK timeout using slider or enter the value manually [integer, 20-520]. This is the amount of time the WILI CPE will wait to hear a response from the AP. The too low value of the ACK timeout will give very low throughput. A high value may slowdown the link. A low value is far worse then a value slightly too high. ACK Timeout value should be tuned to the optimal value for the maximum system throughput.

Fragmentation – specify the Fragmentation threshold using slider or enter the value manually [256-2346 bytes, or word ‘off’]. This is the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.

RTS – specify the RTS threshold using slider or enter the value manually [0-2347 bytes, or word ‘off’]. The RTS threshold determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an access point, helps control traffic flow. The default value is 2347 (2347 means that RTS is disabled).



Firewall

The Port Forwarding may be required when NAT is enabled. NAT translates all internal addresses to one official IP address. With port forwarding configured it is possible to access internal services and workstations from the WAN interface. Port forwarding ensures delivery of TCP and/or UDP traffic through the CPE public port to the specified private port.

Use the Configuration | Firewall menu to specify such a port forwarding rule. By default no port forwards are defined on the controller, a list of created port forwarding rules appears at the bottom of the page.

Image:Cpeportforward.jpg

Public port - the TCP/UDP port of the CPE from which the selected traffic should be forwarded [1-65535].

Private IP address - internal IP address to which the selected traffic shall be forwarded [IP address].

Private port - internal TCP/UDP port to which the selected traffic shall be forwarded [1-65535].

Protocol - select type of forwarding traffic [TCP/UDP/Both].



Tools

Use the Tools menu to use the following WILI CPE device applications:


Antenna Alignment

The Antenna Alignment tool measures signal quality between the CPE and AP. For best results during the antenna alignment test, turn off all wireless networking devices within range of the device except the device(s) with which you are trying to align the antenna. Watch the constantly updated display in the Alignment Test window as you adjust the antenna.

Image:Cpeantenna.jpg

The Antenna Alignment test results appear when you click the Start button, and finishes when you click Stop button.

Site Survey

The Site Survey tool shows overview information for wireless networks in a local geographic area.

Using this test, an administrator can scan for working access points, check their operating channels, encryption and see signal/noise levels. An administrator can use this feature to identify a clear channel to set device to that will not receive interference from adjacent APs.

Image:info.jpg Note that Site Survey function can take several minutes to perform.

To perform the Site Survey test currently, click the Scan radio

Image:Cpesurvey.jpg

Scan radio – click to perform the Site Survey test.

Skin Management

The WILI device has an integrated skin mechanism. The skins enables change of the look and extension of functionality of the device. A few SKINS may be uploaded and easily interchanged on one device. The are two types of skins: build-in and custom. The build-in skins comes with a WILI device firmware and are undeletable so even after the device reset to factory defaults the build-in skins will remain. The custom skins are fully manageable - they can be uploaded and deleted from the system by the administrator.

Use the Configuration | Tools page for skin upload, download or activation.

Image:Cpeskin.jpg

Skin name – displays the name of the particular skin.

Active – marks which skin is activated on the system.

Type – specifies the type of particular skin:

  • build-in – skins that are built in device firmware and cannot be removed. The built-in skins will remain even after device reset to factory defaults.
  • custom – skins developed under customers' needs and uploaded to the device manually.

Activate – load and activate selected skin on the system. After the selected skin will be activated, the new web interface appearance will be displayed.

Image:saukt.jpg Take a note that after activation of a new skin, the configuration file and parameter values will be reverted to the default values of the activated skin (including the IP address of the device and administrator's credentials).
Image:info.jpg It is recommended to refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5) after the successful activation of a skin.


Delete – remove the selected skins from the system. The build-in skins are not removable, only custom skins can be deleted.

Download – download the selected skin to your local PC.

Use the Upload New Skin section to upload custom skins on the WILI device system:

Image:Cpeskinupl.jpg


Browse… – click the button to select the new skin archive from a folder on the PC.

Upload – upload the new skin on the system. Successfully uploaded skin archive will appear on the Skin table under Device Skins section.

  • User Name: admin
  • Password: admin01



Device License

The license status is displayed on the device Status page:

Image:CpeStatusLicense.jpg


License status – displays the license validity status:

  • valid – this license status means that devise has full functionality of the purchased WILI-S firmware release. With a valid license, you can get all service releases of the purchased FW version for free.
  • not valid – this license status provides only a very limited functionality.
Image:info.jpg The license will be still valid after resetting the device to defaults.

If the device has an invalid license uploaded, only very limited set of the device functionality is enabled:

  • It runs only with a default configuration. Only a single BSSID is allowed; DHCP client runs on WAN interface, DHCP servers run on LAN and Wireless interfaces.
  • It is impossible to change the configuration. All features are locked down until a valid license is presented. Any changes made in configuration will be stored in the flash memory of the device. Thus only a default setting will be used after the reboot.


To upload a new valid license file on the device navigate to the Device License section on the System page and use the Upload button:

Image:Licensecpe.jpg


License status – displays the validity status of current license.

Browse… – click to specify the license file you want to upload on the device.

Upload – click to upload the chosen license file on the device.

Image:saukt.jpg Be sure for certain you are uploading a valid license file.

After the new license file is uploaded, the device must be rebooted for changes to take effect. For instructions how to reboot the device, refer to the section Reboot.

Image:saukt.jpg In case the fault license file has been uploaded, the device becomes inactive after reboot and the default configuration will be uploaded with the dynamic IP address given by the local DHCP server.
