5. Поставување

5.1 Physical Installation (In-Wall Mounting)

The Tenda W6-S is designed for in-wall installation using a standard 86-type wall junction box. This ensures a clean and integrated appearance.

1. Подгответе ја ѕидната кутија: Ensure you have an existing 86-type wall junction box installed in your desired location. This box should have an Ethernet cable routed to it, connected to a PoE-enabled switch or injector.
2. Поврзете го етернет кабелот: Connect the Ethernet cable from the wall box to the LAN port on the back of the W6-S.
3. Монтирајте го уредот: Carefully insert the W6-S into the wall junction box. Secure it using the provided screws (if applicable) or by engaging its clips with the box. Ensure it sits flush with the wall surface.
4. Потврдете ја моќноста: Once connected to a PoE source, the device should power on. Check the indicator lights (if any) for status.

5.2 Напојување преку етернет (PoE) конекција

The W6-S supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet. This means it can receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or PoE injector. This eliminates the need for a separate power adapter, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

• Connect the Ethernet cable from your PoE switch/injector to the LAN port of the W6-S.
• Ensure your PoE source is active and providing power according to the 802.3af standard.

5.3 Почетна конфигурација

The Tenda W6-S is designed to be easily managed, especially in multi-AP deployments, through a central AP Controller. For initial setup and configuration, it is recommended to use the Tenda AP Controller software.

Figure 4: Network diagram illustrating the setup of multiple Tenda W6-S units connected to a PoE switch and managed by an AP Controller (e.g., AP Controller M3).

1. Поврзете се на мрежа: Ensure the W6-S is physically installed and powered via PoE, and connected to the same network as your AP Controller.
2. Install AP Controller: Install the Tenda AP Controller software on a computer within the same network segment.
3. Откријте уреди: Launch the AP Controller software. It should automatically discover the W6-S access point(s) on the network.
4. Конфигурирајте ги поставките: Use the AP Controller interface to configure wireless settings such as SSID, security, VLANs, and other advanced features. Refer to the AP Controller's user manual for detailed configuration steps.

6. Работење

6.1 Конфигурација на безжична мрежа

Once configured via the AP Controller, the W6-S will broadcast its wireless network(s). Users can connect to these networks using their wireless-enabled devices.

• SSID (име на мрежа): The name of your wireless network.
• Тип на безбедност: WPA2-PSK is recommended for optimal security.
• Безжична лозинка: The key required to connect to the wireless network.

6.2 VLAN Tagging for Multi-SSID

The W6-S supports VLAN tagging, allowing you to create multiple virtual wireless networks (SSIDs) and assign each to a different VLAN. This is useful for segmenting network traffic, for example, providing separate internet access for guests and staff.

Figure 5: Conceptual diagram showing how VLAN tagging can be used with multiple SSIDs (e.g., 'Hotel Customer' and 'Hotel Office') to provide segregated network access.

• Up to two SSIDs can be broadcast by the W6-S.
• Each SSID can be associated with a specific VLAN ID.
• This requires a network infrastructure (e.g., a managed switch) that supports VLANs.

6.3 Advanced Wireless Security

To protect your network from unauthorized access and ensure data privacy, the W6-S offers robust security features:

• Шифрирање: Supports WEP (64/128-bit), WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA/WPA2-PSK. WPA2-PSK is recommended.
• Филтрирање на MAC адреса: Allows you to specify which devices can connect based on their unique MAC addresses.
• Client Isolation: Prevents wireless clients from communicating with each other, enhancing security in public Wi-Fi environments.
• SSID Isolation: Isolates different SSIDs from each other, further segmenting network access.

8 Смена на проблеми

• Без моќност: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to a functional 802.3af PoE source. Check the PoE switch/injector status.
• Нема Wi-Fi сигнал: Verify that the device is powered on and configured correctly via the AP Controller. Check for any physical obstructions.
• Cannot Access AP Controller: Ensure the AP Controller software is running and the computer is on the same network as the W6-S. Check network connectivity.
• Бавна брзина на Wi-Fi: Check for interference from other wireless devices. Ensure the W6-S is placed optimally. Verify network bandwidth from your ISP.
• Заборавена лозинка: If you forget the administrative password, you may need to perform a factory reset. Refer to the AP Controller manual or Tenda support for specific instructions, as this will erase all configurations.
