Application in Wireless Network APO1200 is a multiple mode system which can be configured either as a wireless gateway or an access point as desired. It also can be used as a WDS link for Ethernet network expansion. This section depicts different applications on Router AP Mode, AP Mode, WDS Mode, CPE Mode, Client Bridge+Universal Repeater Mode and CPE+AP Mode.
2. Hardware Installation 1. Connect N-type antenna to the N-type connector on the rear panel 2. Connect one end of a RJ-45 cable into the AP's PoE connector 3. Connect the opposite end of the RJ-45 cable to the P+DATA OUT port on the Power over Ethernet Injector 4. Connect one end of another RJ-45 cable to the DATA IN port on the Power over Ethernet Injector 5. Connect the opposite end of the RJ-45 cable to a LAN port on your network or Computer 6.
3. Configuring the Access Point Note : 1. It is recommended that you configure the Access Point from a wired computer. Before the Access Point can be configured, if you connect the AP to your computer directly, you must manually assign a static IP address to your computer's network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.2.x (Refer to Section 7, How to configure TCP/IP settings on your PC.); if you connect the AP to your Router or Switch, since the AP’s default IP address is 192.168.2.
5. Configure the LAN settings to match your network settings and then click Next button. 6. Configure the DNS settings to match your network settings and then click Next button. 7. Enter the desired Channel/Frequency and ESSID, then click Next button. Note : 1. To protect your network from any unauthorized access it is recommended to enable wireless encryption. 2. The examples below are for WPA2-PSK. If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, make sure your wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2.
4. Configuring for WDS Link Note : 1. The system provide WDS function on Router AP Mode, AP Mode and WDS Mode. 2. WDS Link requires at least 2 APO1200. The Two wire networks(LAN) need the same subnet. 3. The WDS Link needs to be set at same Channel and with same Security Type. 4. Please install and test in a lab environment before mounting the APO1200. 5. After you set the APO1200 to WDS Mode, wireless clients will not be able to connect to the APO1200. 6. The examples below are for WDS Mode.
3. Enter the desired Channel/Frequency , then click Next button. 4. Click Enable and enter the Remote APO1200's MAC Address. 5. Select the desired Security Type between WDS link, then click Finish button. 6. Wait 35 seconds while the Access Point reboots. Setting Up the Remote APO1200 (Remote Base Station) 1. Copy down the 12 digit MAC Address of the Main APO1200 (Main Base Station).
5. Configuring for Client Bride Note : 1. This section will walk you through the steps of sharing (bridging) an internet connection in one building, and extending that same internet to another building. 2. The “Main Base Station” provide Access Point with SSID “Main_AP” 3. The Two wire networks(LAN) need the same subnet. 4. The examples below are for Client Bridge. Setting Up the Access Point (Main Base Station) 1. Follows steps in Section 3 Configuring the Access Point. 2.
Setting Up the Client Bridge (Client Station) 1. Follows steps 1-6 (Select “Client Bridge” mode on step 4) in Section 3 Configuring the Access Point. Make sure you change the IP address of the Client Station to be different. 2. Configure the DHCP Server settings to match your demandand then click Next button. 3. Click Site Survey button. The system will automatically scan and display the scan results of all AP existing near by the system 4.
5. Set Client Bridge associate to ESSID “Main_AP” with corrent Pre-shared key. Then click Next button. 6. Select Disable to deactivate Repeater AP. Then click Finish button. 7. Wait 35 seconds while the Access Point reboots. 8. Click Status->Remote AP, the Connection Information should be display. Note : 1. To verify wired network of Client Station can access Main Base Station, use ping command to “192.168.2.254” 2.
6. Configuring for Universal Wireless Repeater Note : 1. This section will walk you through the steps of sharing (bridging) an internet connection in one building, and extending that same internet to another building with repeat Access Point. 2. A repeater is just a very normal client which, at the same time, can also be an access point, independent of the SSID and type of encryption used. 3.
3. Select the desired Security Type. 4. Select the Authentication Type for WEP. 5. Select WEP Key Index and Key, then click Finish. Make sure to copy down the encryption key. 6. Wait 35 seconds while the Access Point reboots. 7. Click Status->Remote AP, the Connection Information should be display. 8. Set Wireless client associate to ESSID “Repeater_Main_AP” with corrent WEP key. 9. Click Status->Client, the Repeater AP Clients should be display. Note : 1.
7. How to configure TCP/IP settings on your PC Windows XP/2000 1. Go into the Control Panel, double-click the Network Connections icon and then right-click the Local Area Connection icon and then click Properties. 2. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. Then click on Use the follow IP address, and make sure you assign your network adapter an IP address in the subnet of 192.168.2.X.
