| Q. What MIB's can I use with the PowerStation line? |
|
A. Here are the MIBs which are currently supported by PowerStation:
IF-MIB (1.3.6.1.2.1.31 6/14/2000 The MIB module to describe generic objects for network interface sub-layers. This MIB is an updated version of MIB-IIs ifTable, and incorporates the extensions defined in RFC 1229.) http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/IF-MIB.html http://www.mibsearch.com/vendors/RFC/mibview/IF-MIB IEEE802dot11-MIB (The MIB module for IEEE 802.11 entities) http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/IEEE802dot11-MIB.html HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (The MIB module to describe system resources) http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.html http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt http://www.mibsearch.com/vendors/RFC/mibview/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB Mikrotik-MIB (The Mikrotik experimental wireless MIB module) http://www.mikrotik.com/documentation//manual_2.9/Mikrotik.mib SNMPv2-MIB http://www.mibsearch.com/vendors/RFC/mibview/SNMPv2-MIB SNMPv2-SMI http://www.mibsearch.com/vendors/RFC/mibview/SNMPv2-SMI You can use any SNMP tool (like TinySNMP): snmpwalk -c public -v1 192.168.1.20 .1 |
| Q. In PowerStation AirOS V3.0, can I use port forwarding with the unit set to bridge mode? |
| A. No, due to the nature of bridging, port forwarding is not available in this mode. Port forwarding will only work in Router mode. |
| Q. Does PowerStation have the ability to use a MAC Control List? |
| A. Yes, with AirOS V3.0 you will have the ability to use a MAC Control List to limit connections to/from certain MAC addresses. |
| Q. On the main page of PowerStation, what is the CCQ value? |
| A. This value represents the connection quality. In many situations you can have a great RF Signal, but the connection quality is low due to interference. This value will show you what the hardware is seeing in terms of stability. |
| Q. Is there a central management software for PowerStations? |
| A. At this time, we currently do not have a centralized management application. We do have our Discovery Tool, witch will discover all units on the same subnet as the scanner. This can be downloaded from our support section of the website. |
| Q. Does the second ethernet port on PowerStation act as a PoE passthrough? |
| A. No, at this time the second ethernet port on PowerStation does not provide any PoE capabilities. It acts as only a simple data bridge. |
| Q. I have installed my PowerStation 2 unit in the field, but I am experiencing a low transmit signal to the AP. How do I fix this? |
| A. Please visit www.ubnt.com and upgrade the firmware to the latest version available. This should remedy your problems, as the initial version had a bug that prevented the unit from utilizing its full power potential. If this does not fix the issue, please contact support@ubnt.com. |
| Q. Do PowerStation's need to be grounded? |
| A. Yes, to provide proper protection against Electro Static Discharge, the PS units should be properly grounded using the grounding screw on the lower left hand side of the rear case. This should provide adequate protection against ESD. |
| Q. I have a Tranzeo 6XXX series Access Point and cannot get the PowerStation 2 to associate, what do I do? |
| A. Please verify that you have upgraded to the newest firmware. Version 2.1.9 and above provided a fix to allow the PS2 to associate to the Tranzeo Access Points. |
| Q. How do I change the antenna polarity? |
| A. Click the Advanced Tab. Here you will see the Antenna Polarity dropdown box. Select the desired polarity and click the change button. NOTE: This only works with PSD-17D, and PS-EXT series units. |
| Q. Does PowerStation support AES 256 encryption? |
| A. No, at this time we do not support AES 256 encryption. |
| Q. Does PowerStation support any bandwidth shaping? |
| A. Yes, the PowerStation has a simple bandwidth limiting feature. It is located under the Advanced tab. You will see Bandwidth control. Here you can enter the amount in bps that you would like. |
| Q. Can I use a 48V power supply with PowerStation? |
| A. No, at this time the PowerStation only supports 12V to 24V. |
| Q. Can I adjust output power of the radio on PowerStation? |
| A. Yes you can adjust the power in 1dB increments from 26dB down to 1dB. This can be done under the Link Setup menu, and sliding the slide bar for Power Level. |
| Q. I want to use the PowerStation to receive the wireless signal, and also broadcast inside my house like a repeater. Is this possible? |
| A. This is possible by using PowerStation-EXT with an external omni-directional antenna. You will need to set the unit into AP/WDS mode, and make sure that your AP also supports WDS. This will allow both AP's to talk with each other while providing local access for user's. |
| Q. What is the process for setting up a simple point to point link (i.e. a Backhaul)? |
| A. - First you need to start with two PowerStation units. You need to decide which side will be the Access Point and which side will be the Client.
- From the AP unit, please access the WEB GUI by entering in the default IP 192.168.1.20. It will ask you for a username and password. Please enter the default U/P: ubnt. - From the Main WEB GUI screen please select the "Link Setup" tab. Click on the "Mode" drop down box, and select Access Point. A new box will appear that will allow you to set your desired SSID. Next, select the channel drop down box and pick the channel you would like to use for this link. From here select the change button. At the top of the screen will be an Apply button. Press this and wait for the unit to reboot. This will enable the Access Point. - The last step in configuring the AP is to change the IP address so that it will be setup on your current network IP scheme. - From the Main WEB GUI screen please select the "Network" tab. From here you can change the IP address to either a specific IP, or you can set it up to DHCP from your server. After clicking change and apply you are done setting up the Access Point. - Now you must set up the Client side of the link. Go into the WEB GUI as you did on the Access Point. - Once you are logged into the unit, please select the "Link Setup" tab. From here, it is set to Client mode as standard. Select the Scan button (next to the SSID field). Select the AP that you just set up. After selecting the AP you would like to associate to, click the change button at the bottom of the page, then select the Apply button. The unit will reboot and be associated to the AP. - The last step in configuring the Client is to change the IP address, so that it will be setup on your current network IP scheme. - From the Main WEB GUI screen please select the "Network" tab. From here you can change the IP address to either a specific IP, or you can set it up to DHCP from your server. After clicking change and apply you are done setting up the Client and the link should be functional. |
