1-5 Hardware Installation
The Outdoor Multi-function Radio operates in a license free frequency band in most
countries, and is therefore susceptible to interfering signals from other devices in the
area. Taking some simple precautions can reduce the likelihood of poor link
performance due to interfering signals.
x Check to see if there are other radios operating in the same frequency band on
the same structure or nearby. If the operating channels of these devices can be
determined, set your radio to a no-overlapping channel.
x Make sure that there is direct line of sight to the receiving radio. Trees and
other obstructions can reduce signal levels and cause poor link performance.
Site Surveys
It is advisable to conduct a site survey prior to the installation. The survey should
include checking availability of power, grounding systems, proper mounting structure,
grounding of mounting structure, line of sight, fresnel zone clearance, and any other
issues that may affect the installation.

2-2 Getting to Know Radio Wireless Security Options
WNI Global, Inc. wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible.
This radio provides several network security features, but they require specific action on your
part for implementation.
Security Precautions
The following is a complete list of security precautions that may be taken as shown in this
User’s Manual.
1. Change the default SSID.
2. Disable SSID Broadcast.
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account.
4. Enable MAC Address Filtering.
5. Change the SSID periodically.
6. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. Use WPA if it is available. Please note that
this may reduce your network performance.
7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically.
To ensure network security, steps one through four should be followed at a
minimum.
Security Options
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
• Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted clients so
that unknown clients cannot wirelessly connect to the radio. MAC address filtering adds an
obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless
link is still fully exposed.
• Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP
Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined
eavesdropper.
• Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data
security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA
makes it virtually impossible to compromise.
• Enable Wireless Security Separator. The associated wireless clients will not be able to
communicate with each other if this feature is enabled. The default setting is disabling.
18
2-3 Installing the radio as an AP (Access Point)
Before installing, you should make sure that your Ethernet network is working perfectly. You
will be connecting the radio to the Ethernet network so that computers with 10/100 Fast
Ethernet adapters will communicate with computers, servers, etc., on the Ethernet.
1. SET UP THE AP
Tip: Before mounting the radio in a high location, first set up and test the radio and
verify wired network connectivity
.
a. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your
network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.
b. Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.1.x (x cannot be 1) and
255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
c. Connect the Cat.5 SFTP cable from the radio to the POE.
d. Connect a Cat.5 UTP cable from the POE to computer.

Chapter 3. General Information
General information gives you basic information regarding the configuration of the radio..
3-1 Information
The information displayed is as follows:
Access Point Name: You may assign any device name to the Access Point. This name is
only used by the Access Point administrator for identification purposes. Unique, memorable
names are helpful, especially if you are employing multiple access points on the same
network. The default name is APxxxxxx.
MAC Address: Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely
identifies each node of a network.
Country/Region: This field identifies the region where the AP can be used. It may not be
legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless access point in a region other than one
of those identified in this field. The default country is the United States.
Firmware Version: Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily, using
your Web browser, and can be upgraded via ftp server.
.
IP Type: By default, the AP is configured as static IP Address.
IP Address: The IP address must be unique to your network. The default IP address is
192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask must be the same as that set on the LAN that your Access
Point is connected to. The default is 255.255.255.0
.
Operating Mode: AP provides five modes, Access Point, Station, bridge, repeater, and
inter-building.
•Access Point: Acts as a standard 802.11a or 802.11g. This is the default mode.
•Station: Performs as a client station associated to other APs.
•Wireless bridge: In this mode, the AP only communicates with another bridge-mode wireless
station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other bridge-mode
wireless station in the field provided. It is advisable to use WEP in order to protect this data
from intruders.
21
•Point to Multi-Point Bridge: Select this only if this AP is the “Master” for a group of
bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to
Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this AP MAC address. They then send all traffic to this
“Master”, rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to protect
this traffic.
•Wireless Repeater: In this mode, the AP can communicate with another wireless station or
wireless bridge. You can enter the MAC address of both adjacent repeaters in the fields
provided to communicate with another wireless bridge. Or you can use a common SSID to
communicate with another wireless station. WEP should be used to protect this
communication.
Inter-building: Under Unique to Ky m a S t a r WDS mode, AP will automatically connect to our
11b radio which is set to inter-building mode too, without manually entering MAC address for
each other.
Wireless Mode: Select the desired wireless operating mode. The default mode is 802.11a.
Channel: This field identifies which operating frequency will be used.

4-5 Firewall Management
Today’s companies rely on highly networked, secure computing environments to efficiently
and safely conduct business. Firewalls are a key component of any secure network. Firewalls
are configured to allow “desired” traffic in, and to keep “undesired” traffic out.
This radio (access point) has an excellent firewall management feature..
Please see the diagram below. Acting as a firewall, the radio will filter your undesired data
and protocols, only delivering the “wanted” to your network.
Click the firewall link and you’ll be navigated to the Firewall Management interface.
