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.
The access point is capable of operating in different modes, which makes it
suitable for a wide variety of wirelessapplications, 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.
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.
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.
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
