Regulatory Statements This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
HARDWARE/CONNECTIONS The components, connections and indicators depicted in the image (and directly corresponding to the unit itself) are detailed below as they appear from left to right. In addition, there are four holes on the rear panel of the device (the underside, as shown here) for attaching either of the included mounting brackets. Ground Use the included ground wire to ground the device.
basic ip networking IP (Internet Protocol) IP stands for Internet protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP address (e.g., 192.168.10.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or router: static and automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed in manually, while dynamic IPs are distributed by a DHCP server. Ports Every packet of traffic is identified by its source and destination addresses, which ensures that the packet arrives at the correct destination.
Signal Strength — Radio signals drop in power over distance, and even if all the settings are correct, low signal strength makes association impossible. The usable distance between the AP and client can range from a few meters indoors to a few kilometers. When setting up the client, make sure that: • The WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls and metal structures to reach the client. • There is a line of sight between the AP and client device.
Basic: IP Configuration This screen allows you to select the IP Mode. Static IP — When you boot up the AP for the first time, it is in Static mode, and you assign a static IP. The default IP address, subnet mask and gateway mask are 192.168.10.100, 255.255.255.0 and 0.0.0.0. Dynamic IP (DHCP Client) — The AP will obtain an IP address from an upstream DHCP server. When in this mode, values obtained from the network are displayed.
Wireless Mode — The device operates in the frequency of 2.4 GHz for 802.11g. Radio Frequency — Set manually or use SmartSelect for automatic channel selection. WDS — Enable, disable or disable with multiple PC support. When the wireless distribution system is enabled, all PCs connected to a bridge/AP can communicate with each other. When WDS is disabled, only PCs connected to the same bridge/ AP can communicate with each other.
9. From the Basic: Site Survey screen, copy the MAC address (BSSID) of AP1 and add it to the Remote AP MAC Address list on the Operation Mode screen. Click “Update” and “Reboot.” The Operation Mode screen should now appear as below. 10. From the Status menu, go to the Association Status screen. Once you see the association of AP1 with AP2 and AP2 with AP1, you may unplug AP2 from the network and move it to the permanent location.
4. Click “Update” and “Reboot.” The Operation Mode screen should appear as below. 5. 6. Repeat Steps 1–4 for the second AP you are bridging to. From the Status menu on AP1 (bridge) and AP2 (bridge), go to the Association Status screen to verify that the two are associating. If so, AP1 (bridge) and AP2 (bridge) are ready to be placed in permanent locations. Note: In Bridge mode, both APs must be on the same channel.
MAC address of AP2 (bridge) must be in the Remote MAC Address list of AP1 (bridge). Note: Also, the default gateways of AP1 and AP2 should be the IP address of the router on your network. Advanced: Radio Setting Data Rate — You can enter different values, such as 11 Mbps or 24 Mbps; but “Best” lets the AP determine the optimal data rate. Transmit Power — Sometimes it’s useful to decrease the coverage range of each AP so that more APs can be located together without interference among them.
Advanced: Security Setting This screen allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome parties from reading your traffic. Authentication can also be configured to block outsiders from accessing your network. Disable — No wireless security. WEP — Select to apply WEP security. WPA-PSK — Select to apply WPA-PSK security. WPA — Select to apply WPA security.
RADIUS Secret — Enter the shared secret only if the 802.1x protocol is used. Key Update Interval — Specify the interval in milliseconds. The default is 1,800. Cipher Type — Select “Auto,” “TKIP” or “AES.” Key Source — Specify the location of the key storage (only if 802.1x is used). If using PSK (Pre-shared key), select “Local.” Advanced: MAC Address Control This screen displays (and is configured) only when the device is in AP mode. MAC Address Control — Enable or disable the function.
Filter IPX Packet — Select to disallow all IPX packets from passing through. Wireless Isolation — Select to disallow wireless clients associated with this device from communicating with each other. Enable Broadcast Filter — Select to filter out broadcast storm. Broadcast Number Allowed — Enter a value from 10 to 200. Enable Multicast Filter — Select to filter out multicast storm. Multicast Number Allowed — Enter a value from 10 to 50.
Restore Configuration from Local PC — Allow the restoration of a “Good Config” from the computer system. Click “Browse” to find the location of the saved “Good Config” in the computer system. Status: System Status This screen presents a convenient overview of the overall status of the AP. The most common configuration parameters are shown here.
Status: Association Status This screen presents an overview of the MAC address and signal strength (SNR in dBm) of all clients connected to the AP through the Ethernet or wireless. Super User: Super User This screen allows you to change the username and password for admin user / end user. The default username and password are both “super.” After every factory reset, the username and password revert to this combination. The AP doesn’t allow you to set the same username for both admin and super users.
utility installaTION & operation The Wireless Super G Outdoor PoE Access Point and Bridge (“Outdoor AP”) utility is easy-to-use software that lets an administrator quickly configure the AP at first boot-up. The utility only communicates with authorized access points and bridges, allowing them to be monitored and configured even if they all have the same default IP address at first boot-up after installation. PC Requirements • X86-based CPU, 600 Mhz or above • 128 MB RAM • 1.
• After the necessary changes have been made, the administrator can apply the changes to the AP. Check the “Reboot” box and click “Update” to reboot the device. • Multiple devices can be updated at the same time. Use CTRL/left-click to select multiple entries, or enter CTRL/A to select all entries. Click “Update” to begin the update process. • To refresh the view, click the “Find” button. • The utility can also be used to ping a selected device to check connectivity.
