Warning Statement

FCC NOTICE

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This device 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. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device

does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Connect the computer to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Increase the separation between the computer and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of

this device could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Compliance Statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure warning

The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters

except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

Refering to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and module(s) can

be operated simultaneously without C2P.

For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be

operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

Overview the Product Introduction The high-performance Wireless Network Access Point (AP) is designed for enterprise and public access applications. Embedded with the Atheros chipset, it boasts network robustness, stability and wider network coverage. Based on 802.11n (Draft 2.0), the access point supports high-speed data transmission of up to 300Mbps.

Features and Benefits Point-to-Point & Point-to-MultiPoint Support Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint communication between different buildings enables you to bridge wireless clients that are kilometres apart while unifying the networks. Virtual AP (Multiple SSID) Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID) This allows a single wireless card to be set up with multiple virtual AP connections with different SSIDs or BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) and security modes.
PAGE 9
Operation Modes and Connection Examples Access Point and Access Point WDS Mode The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the device. It enables the bridging of wireless clients to wired network infrastructure and enables transparent access and communication with each other. The illustration below shows a typical resources sharing application example using this device. The wireless users are able to access the file server connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point Mode.
PAGE 10
Station Mode In Station mode the device acts as a wireless client. When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless Ethernet network connected at the access point. In this example the workgroup PCs on the ethernet network connected to the Station device can access the printer across the wireless connection to the access point where the printer is connected.
PAGE 11
Station WDS Mode Station WDS mode is similar to Station mode. The difference is Station WDS must connect to access point configured to Access Point WDS (or RootAP) mode. Station WDS is mainly use for point-to–point connection between 2 buildings or locations as far as several kilometer away.
PAGE 12
Router Mode In Router Mode, the device also operates as a router. Either the wireless or Ethernet can be setup as WAN connection to a broadband modem. Wireless as WAN is known as Station + Router mode (or Wireless Routing Client mode) and Ethernet as WAN is known as AP + Router mode(or Gateway mode). Device supports several types of broadband connections Static IP, Dynamic IP and PPPoE. For setup details refer to the respective section.
PAGE 13
Repeater WDS Mode Repeater WDS Mode to mainly to extend the wireless range and coverage of the wireless network allowing access and communications over places generally difficult for wireless clients to connect to the network. In Repeater mode, the access point acts as a relay for network signals on the network by regenerating the signals it receives, and retransmitting them to main network infrastructure. Detailed information on the Repeater mode is available in the Repeater Setup section.
PAGE 14
Install the Hardware This section will show you how to install the hardware of the access point. • Antenna Alignment The antenna alignment of the access point must first be considered to ensure that the signal is strong. • Installation Direction After considering the antenna alignment, the direction in which the access point is facing must be considered to ensure that the signal is actually being directed to the receiving end.
PAGE 15
Setup Requirements • CAT5/5e Networking Cable. • At least 1 computer installed with a web browser and a wired or wireless network interface adapter. • All network nodes installed with TCP/IP and properly configured IP address parameters. Mount the Unit on a Pole Access point is designed to mount to a pole. The mounting method will be described as shown below.
