==Configuration overview and prerequisites==

Before we begin, let's take a look at the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible. For this setup we are going to use Teltonika router RUT956 which LAN IP is 192.168.5.1 and access point TAP100 which LAN IP is 192.168.5.2

Before we begin, let's take a look at the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible. For this setup we are going to use Teltonika router RUT956 and access point TAP100.

===Configuring router LAN interface===

===Creating new VLANs on Router===

----

----

Go to '''Network -> LAN''' and press edit button and in pop-up window perform following actions :

Firstly, we are going to configure VLANs for port that we are going to use to connected our TAP100. In this example, TAP100 will be connected to RUT956 LAN Port 3. To do this, navigate on router Webui and go to '''Network -> VLAN -> Port based''' and do the following steps:

<ol>

<ol>

<li>Enter selected IPv4 address (You could leave the default one of 192.168.1.1 if you prefer to)</li>

<li>Press ADD button two times. This will add two new VLAN interfaces</li>

<li>Disable DHCP server </li>

<li>On newly created vlan ( default VLAN ID will be 3) change the default VLAN ID to 50 and choose "Tagged" option on LAN3 port.</li>

<li>On second newly created vlan ( default VLAN ID will be 4) change the default VLAN ID to 150 and choose "Tagged" option on LAN3 </li>

<li>Press Save & Apply button </li>

</ol>

</ol>

===Router management port configuration===

 

Before proceeding with the configuration of the hotspot interface, it's essential to configure the management port on our router, <b>unless you choose to use RMS for the device management, then you could skip this step.</b> This is necessary because, after enabling the hotspot on the LAN interface, we will no longer be able to connect to the router using the router's LAN IP address.

 

To create management port on port 1 of the device, firstly we need to navigate on router WebUI to '''Network -> VLAN -> Port based'''. While there do the following steps :

===Management VLAN interface configuration===

Once we added new VLANs, we need to configure couple interfaces which will be working on these VLANs.

In this example, firstly we are going to configure "Management" interface, which will be used for managing devices. To do this, navigate on router WebUI to '''Network -> LAN'''. While there, add new interface. To do this, simply just write management or any other name that you prefer for this interface and press add.  In pop-up window you need to do the following steps :  

<ol>

<ol>

<li>Press "ADD" button </li>

<li>Enable interface</li>

<li>On default VLAN ID 1 interface choose off on LAN 1 </li>

<li>Choose "Static" protocol</li>

<li>On newly create VLAN interface on LAN 1 port choose untagged. </li>

<li>Choose IP address that you wish. We are going to use 192.168.150.1 for management purposes. </li>

<li>Press Save & Apply </li>

<li>Enable DHCP server</li>

 

 

<li> Next, we need to navigate to Physical Settings of the same interface and choose eth0.150 interface </li>

<li> Lastly, we need to navigate to Firewall settings of the same interface and add custom "Management" zone. </li>

</ol>

</ol>

After this, navigate to '''Network -> LAN''' and add new interface.

In pop-up window do the following steps :

Once we set up management VLAN interface, we can now move on setting up hotspot VLAN interface. To do this, as before, please navigate on router WebUI to '''Network -> LAN'''. While there, add new interface. To do this, simply just write hotspot or any other name that you want for this interface and press add.  In pop-up window you need to do the following steps :  

<ol>

<ol>

<li>Enable </li>

<li>Enable the interface</li>

<li>IpV4 address : specify any private IP address. Make sure that this address will not be used for hotspot or any other instances. We are gonna choose 192.168.10.1 </li>

<li>Protocol should be set as "None"</li>

<li>Netmask : default can be left (255.255.255.0) </li>

[[File:Hotspot hotspot interface1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

<li>In pop-up window navigate to physical settings and for interface choose eth0.3. If your newly created VLAN ID is left by default as 3, you have to choose eth0.3, but if you specify some other VLAN ID, for example VLAN 55, you will need to choose eth0.55 </li>

[[File:VLAN MANAGEMENT HOTSPOT3.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

<li>In pop-up window navigate to firewall settings and choose custom and enter " Management ". This will create new firewall zone.  </li>

<li>Next, In physical settings choose eth0.50 interface and turn on "Bridge Interfaces" option by clicking the button next to it . </li>

Furthermore, after creating the firewall zone on the LAN interface, please proceed to '''Network -> Firewall -> General Settings'''. It is important to ensure that the "Management" zone you created has the correct policies in place. They should be configured as follows :

<li>Lastly, In firewall settings, choose LAN zone.</li>

===Router Hotspot configuration===

Now that we've successfully created a hotspot local user, the next step is to configure the hotspot interface. To achieve this, let's navigate to the router's WebUI and access '''Services -> Hotspot -> General'''. Once there, please follow these steps:

Next, in the pop-up window, please click the "Enable" button. You can choose to either leave all other settings at their default values or make adjustments as per your preferences. For the purpose of this configuration, we'll maintain the default settings.

To begin, we'll have to access TAP100's WebUI. Instructions on how to access the TAP100 WebUI can be found in another article on our Wiki [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/QSG_TAP100#Login_to_device here]

After successfully establishing a connection to the TAP100 WebUI, the next step is to navigate to '''Network -> IP settings'''. Within this section, update the IPv4 address field to match the LAN network of your router. For instance, if your router's LAN belongs to the network 192.168.5.0/24 with a LAN IP address of 192.168.5.1, then configure your TAP100 with an IP address of 192.168.5.2 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. This ensures that both devices are on the same network.

After successfully establishing a connection to the TAP100 WebUI, the next step is to navigate to '''Network -> Wireless SSIDs'''. Within this section, press edit button on SSID and in pop-up window on VLAN ID option choose custom and enter 50.

That concludes the necessary configuration steps for the TAP100. Now, let's establish the connection between your router and the TAP100. To do this, you can simply connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the router's LAN port and the other end to the TAP100's Ethernet IN port on the PoE injector. For more detailed installation instructions, please refer to the installation guide which can be found [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/QSG_TAP100#Installation_Guide here]
