Powered Ethernet
Introduction
Powered Ethernet
The AP/Bridge can be powered over an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power and
Ethernet cabling. Contact your Vivato added reseller, or view the list of accessories on the Vivato.net
website, for information about various powered Ethernet solutions.
Omni-directional Antennas
The AP/Bridge is equipped with two reverse-polarity TNC antenna connectors and includes two
omni-directional antennas.
Ethernet and Serial Ports
The LAN (Ethernet) port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the AP/Bridge to a 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
This connection can also be used to provide power to the AP/Bridge.
The RS232 (serial) port provides console access to the management system in the AP/Bridge by
connecting the supplied serial cable to a computer’s RS-232 (COM) port and running a terminal
emulator program.
Reset To Factory Defaults
Pressing and holding the RESET button in for at least three seconds re-configures the AP/Bridge to use
the factory default settings, and deletes the previous configuration file.
Metal Enclosure
The AP/Bridge is enclosed in a metal case which has adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in an indoor environment.
IEEE 802.11 ISM-Band Channel Operation
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge can communicate on any two channels in the IEEE channel set (although
the default channel assignment of 1 and 11 should be used for best results). Both channels can operate
at the maximum data rate of up to 11 Mbps. The AP/Bridge can be configured to communicate with
clients and with a Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station (using a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) connection) .
Multi-AP/Bridge Operation for Extended Coverage
Each Wi-Fi AP/Bridge contains one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port and two wireless interfaces. Multiple
Wi-Fi AP/Bridges can be connected using a wired or a wireless connection to extend Wi-Fi coverage and
provide maximum deployment flexibility.
