Ethernet (Wired) Setting

In this page, you can set Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).


Note	In this page, two wired Ethernet, virtual network (VLAN), NAT, and DHCP server can be set. When configuring virtual network, data terminal that configures the network should also support VLAN.

DNS Name Setting


Item	Description
DNS Name	Enter the DNS name for the access point in the text box. This is the host name. It may be provided by your ISP or network administrator, or you can provide your own. The rules for system names are: This name can be up to 20 characters long. Only letters, numbers and dashes are allowed. The name must start with a letter and end with either a letter or a number.

Use Guest Access

Guest network and internal LAN can be set in one SMT-R2000.

Internal LAN and Guest Network Setting

Local Area Network (LAN) is a communication network used in a limited area like a floor in a building. LAN connects various network devices such as computers, storage medias, and printers.

Ethernet is the most general technology among technologies that implement LAN. Wi-Fi(IEEE) is another type of LAN technology.

The SMT-R200 allows you to configure two different LANs on the same access point: one for a secure internal LAN and another for a public guest network with no security and little or no access to internal resources. To configure these networks, you need to provide both Wireless and Ethernet (Wired) settings.

Information on how to configure the Ethernet (Wired) settings is provided in the sections below.

(For information on how to configure the Wireless settings, see Setting the Wireless Interface. For an overview of how to set up the Guest interface, see Setting up Guest Access.)

Whether to Use Guest Access

The SMT-R2000 ships with the Guest Access feature disabled by default. If you want to provide guest access on your AP, enable Guest access on the Ethernet (Wired) Settings tab.


Item	Description
Guest Access	By default, the SMT-R2000 ships with Guest Access disabled. To allow guest access, click Enabled. To disable Guest Access, click Disabled.

Specifying a Physical or Virtual Guest Network

If guest access is set to "Enabled", select the method of displaying "internal network" and "Guest network" in AP. First method is a physical method (1) that two networks directly connects to two different LAN ports of AP through cable. Second method is a virtual method (2) that connects AP WAN port to switch VLAN port and defines two different virtual LANs of the switch. (For more information, refer to Guest Access Setting.)

Choose either physically separate or virtually separate internal and guest LANs as described below.


Item	Description
Guest Access	Select Enabled to enable Guest Access. (If you choose this option, you must select whether to use physically separate networks or VLANs on the next setting "For Guest access, use", and then provide details on VLAN or Wired setting for the Guest Network on the rest of the page.) Select Disabled to disable Guest Access If you connected this access point to two separate networks for a "physically secure" solution, then choose Ethernet Port 2 from the drop-down menu to set up your Guest network on the second Ethernet port. If the access point is using only one physical connection to your internal LAN (extra port is not in use), then choose VLAN on Ethernet Port 1 from the drop-down menu. This will enable the "VLAN" settings where you must provide a VLAN ID. See also Configuring Guest Interface Ethernet (Wired) Settings. Note : If guest interface and internal interface are reset through VLAN, the connection with AP may fail. First, the switch and DHCP server supports VLAN of IEEE 802.1Q. After setting VLAN in the Ethernet setting page, connect the Ethernet wired of the switch to the VLAN port. Access the administrator Web page through a new IP address.

Enabling or Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks on the AP

If you want to configure the Internal network as a VLAN (whether or not you have a Guest network configured), you can enable "Virtual Wireless Networks" on the access point.

You must enable this feature if you want to configure additional virtual networks on VLANs on the Manage > VWN tab as described in Configuring Virtual Wireless Networks.


Item	Description
Virtual Wireless Networks	Select Enabled to enable VLANs for the Internal network and for additional networks. (If you choose this option, you can run the Internal network on a VLAN whether or not you have Guest Access configured and you can set up additional networks on VLANs using the Manage > VWN tab as described in Configuring Virtual Wireless Networks.) Select Disabled to disable the VLAN for the Internal network, and for any additional virtual networks on this access point.

Configuring LAN or Internal Interface Ethernet Settings

To configure Ethernet (Wired) settings for the Internal LAN, fill in the fields as described below.


Item	Description
MAC Address	MAC address of internal interface for AP Ethernet port. Only reading is available and this item cannot change.
VLAN ID	If you choose to configure Internal and Guest networks by "VLANs", this field will be enabled. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Internal VLAN. AP will send DHCP request including VLAN tag. Switch and DHCP server should support VLAN IEEE 802.1Q frame. AP should be able to be connected to DHCP server.
Connection Type	You can select "DHCP" or "Static IP". Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that describes how to provide network setting information to network device by central server. DHCP server leases an IP address to client system, and provides the DNS server information, the IP address information of gateway, and subnet mask information. Static IP indicates that all network settings are provided manually. You must provide the IP address for the Samsung AP, its subnet mask, the IP address of the default gateway, and the IP address of at least one DNS nameserver. If you select "DHCP", the Samsung AP will acquire its IP Address, subnet mask, and DNS and gateway information from the DHCP Servers. Otherwise, if you select "Static IP", fill in the items described in "Static IP Settings." Note : If DHCP server does not exist in internal network, the connection type of AP should change from DHCP to static IP. Then, a new static IP address can be assigned to AP or default IP address can be used. If there is a plan to add a new Samsung AP, it is recommended to assign a new address. Later, when adding a new AP, IP address collision between two APs can be prevented. If you need to recover the default Static IP address, you can do so by resetting the AP to the factory defaults as described in Resetting Factory Default Configuration. Default IP address is 192.168.111.10.
Static IP Address	If you chose "Static IP" as the Connection Type, these fields will be enabled. Enter the target static IP address into the text box.
Subnet Mask	Enter the Subnet Mask in the text boxes. You must obtain this information from your ISP or network administrator.
Default Gateway	Enter the Default Gateway in the text boxes.
DNS Name Ssrver	Domain Name Service (DNS) converts Domainnamewww.Samsung Electronics.com) of network resource into IP address (e.g. `66.93.138.219`). DNS server is called Nameserver. There are usually two Nameservers; a Primary Nameserver and a Primary Nameserver. You can choose Dynamic or Manual mode. If you choose Dynamic, the IP addresses for the DNS servers will be assigned automatically via DHCP. (This option is only available if you specified DHCP for the Connection Type. If you choose Manual, you should assign static IP addresses manually.

Configuring Guest Interface Ethernet (Wired) Settings

To configure Ethernet (Wired) Settings for the "Guest" interface, fill in the fields as described below.


Item	Description
MAC Address	MAC address of guest interface for AP Ethernet port. Only reading is available and this item cannot change.
VLAN ID	If you choose to configure Internal and Guest networks by "VLANs", this field will be enabled. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Guest VLAN.
