Basic Settings
Network Mode : Specify the network mode, including Bridge and Router. It is easy to configure
parameters in Bridge Mode; however, users must pay extra attention to the way they configure
the device when it is set to Router Mode. For details, please refer to “IP Settings (Router)”.
Device Name : Specify the device name, which is composed of no more than 15 characters with
(0-9), (A-Z), (a-z) or (-).
Country Region : The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands
is country dependent.
IP Settings (Bridge)
This is available only under Bridge network mode. Open “IP Settings (Bridge)” in “System” as
below to configure the parameters for LAN which connects to the LAN port of EKI-6311GN. In
this page, users may change the settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server.

Obtain IP Address Automatically : If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this
option, thus the EKI-6311GN is able to obtain IP settings automatically from that DHCP server.
Use Fixed IP Address : Check this option. You have to specify a static IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway and DNS server for EKI-6311GN manually. Make sure the specified IP address
is unique on your network in order to prevent IP conflict.
Spanning Tree : Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol for AP which
provides path redundancy while preventing loops in a network. STP allows only one active path
at a time between the access points but establish the redundant link as a backup if the initial link
fails.
IP Settings (Router)
This is available only under Router mode. Open “IP Settings (Router)” in “System” below to
configure the parameters of EKI-6311GN for accessing the Internet.
