Overview the Product Introduction The high-performance Wireless Radio module 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, the access point supports high-speed data transmission of up to 300Mbps. The access point host is capable of operating in different modes, which makes it suitable for a wide variety of wireless applications, including long-distance deployments. Designed with dual polarization high gain antenna it offers a compact, rugged design for outdoor installation and excellent performance. Moreover, its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access point to be used in areas where power outlets are not readily available. To protect your security and privacy, the access point is armed with many enhanced and latest wireless security features such as IEEE 802.11i standards, MAC Address Filtering, IEEE 802.1x Authentication and 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to ensure privacy for the heterogeneous mix of users within the same wireless network. The access point also incorporates a unique set of advanced features such as: Virtual AP to deliver multiple services; Long-Range parameter fine-tuning which provide the access point with the ability to auto-calculate parameters such as slot time, ACK time-out and CTS time-out to achieve a longer range.

Highly Secured Wireless Network The access point supports the highest available wireless securitystandard: IEEE802.11i compliant. The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x for secure and centralized user-based authentication. Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through highly secure methods like EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network. uConfig Utility The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user-friendly Web configuration interface of the access point without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the workstation. HTTPS The access point supports HTTPS (SSL) in addition to the standard HTTP. HTTPS (SSL) features additional authentication and encryption for secure communication. Telnet Telnet allows a computer to remotely connect to the access point CLI (Command Line Interface) for control and monitoring. SSH SSH (Secure Shell Host) establishes a secure host connection to the access point CLI for control and monitoring.
Install in the Host This device will be build-in into Proxim’s Host Tsunami ®, and it should be professional installation. The host system must be labeled with: Contains FCC ID: HZB-NGP1024; Please refer to the user guide for the host on our web site: http://www.proxim.com/
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. Access Point WDS Mode This is mode is generally use for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connection. It is mainly use with Station WDS to build the point and multi-point connections.
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.
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.
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. The illustration below shows the Ethernet port is setup as the WAN port and the wireless connection as the LAN. Broadband Internet Access Type: Static IP Address Use Static IP Address you have subscribed a fixed IP or range IP addresses from your ISP. Dynamic IP Address With Dynamic IP Address the device automatically request IP address from modem or ISP. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) When using ADSL services provided byyour ISP support PPPoE connection.
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.
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. • Setting Up Lastly, after making these considerations and confirming the final position and facing direction of the access point, follow the instructions to physically set up and complete the installation of the access point
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. Note the following guidelines for choosing the best location for your wireless AP: • Place the AP as close as possible tothe area where users will require access to the WLAN. • Choose an elevated location where trees, buildings and large steel structures will not obstruct the antenna signals and which offers maximum line-of-sight propagation with the users. • Select an appropriate antenna to improve range and/or coverage and the access point also lets you fine-tune parameters such as the transmit power to achieve the best results
