1. Before You Start

1.1 Preface

This manual is intended for using by system integrators, professional field engineers and network administrators to help them set up OWL800 for their network deployment. It contains step by step pro ced ures and pictures to guide users with basic network system knowledge to complete the installation.

The IEEE 802.11 b/g Outdoor AP/Bridge (Support IEEE802.11a Client Backhaul) is a rugged multi-mode dual-radio outdoor access point, specifically designed for building municipal or campus wide wireless networks in harsh outdoor environments. The entry model OWL800 is deployed as a traditional multi-wireless Access Point (AP) or a backhaul. The second model HSG800, can be used as an Outdoor Wireless Gateway with built-in Hotspot Access Control and Billing features. The OWL2000 is purely used for building point-to-point bridges. Some of the optional features (such as billing) are on or off depending on the model. Please refer to the optional feature list s provided separately. In this manual, all the optional featured are covered. In the following manual, we will refer the device as “OWL800” or “the system” for the convenience.

Model Description OWL800 This is the base model. Its firmware can be upgraded to be HSG800 or OWL2000

when optional software feature is purchase. The base firmware support AP/Bridge and Gateway operation mode.

HSG800 This model consists of all the features of OWL800, plus the Hotspot billing &

payment function.

OWL2000 This model turn an OWL800 first radio card from an AP into another

backhaul/bridge radio card. Traffic over multiple air links will be aggregated to achieve better throughput and reliability.

1.2 Document Convention

The following information provides the details of conventions used in this manual. In the following manual, we will refer the device as “OWL800” or “the system” for the convenience.

For cautionary statements or warning requiring special attention by readers, a text box with italic font will be used:

2. System Overview

2.1 Introduction of OWL800

The IEEE 802.11 b/g Outdoor AP/Bridge (Support IEEE802.11a Client Backhaul) series (referred as OWL800 or the system in this manual) is a rugged multi-mode dual-radio outdoor access point, specifically desi gned for building municipal or campus wide wireless networks in ha rsh outdoor environments. There are two System Modes that can be used for dual purposes. First, it can be deployed as a traditional multi-wireless Access Point (AP) or a Relay. Secondly, it can be used as an Outdoor Wireless Gateway with Bui lt-in Hotspot Access Control and Billing features (* an optional feature).

The metal sealed OWL800 is weatherproof. Coming with a mounting kit, it can be moun ded on a pole or on wall. This Quick Installation Guide provides instructions and reference material for getting st arted with OWL800 (as well as the other two models).

OWL800’s rust-free die-cast Aluminum housing is IP68 compliant and high wind load resilient. All the components are designed to operate in a wide range of temperature. The on-board surge protection provides the device up to 15KV surge immunity. The OWL800 delivers an excellent outdoor WLAN solution.

2.2 System Concept

The System contains two radio modules. Two 100mW modules are WNC’s CM9, which are tested to be modular FCC and CE compliant. The first card is mainly used for serving clients at “b/g” mode. The second Radio module is used for building point-to-point or the back haul connection in “a” mode.

OWL800 is a cost-effective choice as well as a flexible solution for constructing serviceable wireless network. Designed by the leading hotspot appliance provide r, 4ipnet OWL800 behaves more than a wireless router when it is in Gateway mode. Not only it supports NAT, DHCP and firewall, it also has AAA features of a hotspot gateway, including UAM web login portal and billing plans. Standalone it has local user database for authentication, while at the same time it can play the role of RADIUS-NAS, authenticating users against ISP’s RADIUS server in the data center.

3.2 Software Configuration

3.2.1 Instruction of Web Management Interface

OWL800 provides the web management interface for configuration. OWL800 is a multi-mode system which can be configured as either an access point (AP/Relay Mode with RF1 in AP ), a relay (AP/Relay Mode with RF1 in WDS), or a gateway that clients can associate on it based on your needs. It is required to follow the respective installation procedures provided to properly set up the desired mode of this system.

After completing hardware installation, the administrator can configure the OWL800 via web browsers. The default IP address and Subnet Mask of dif f erent modes are as follows:

Mode AP/Relay Gateway

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

Enter “admin” as the default Username and “admin” as the default Password and click Login to continue.

192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1

255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

192.168.2.254 192.168.1.254

Note: If you are unable to get to the login screen, please check the IP address used. The IP address should be in the same subnet of the default gateway. For using static IP in TCP/IP setting, set a static IP address such as

192.168.1.x for your network interface and then open a new browser again.

3.2.2 User Login Portal Page

To be granted the network access via OWL800, clients have to be authenticated by the system first via entering the correct usernames and passwords in the User Login Portal Page as shown below. The local account generated previously in the Setup Wizard section is used as the example to illustrate this procedure.

Step 1: Connect a client’s PC to OWL800 via any one of the LAN Ports. The IP address will be assigned to the PC automatically via DHCP.

Step 2: Verify New Local Account:

To verify whether the configuration with DHCP via the Setup Wizard is done properly, firstly, connect a client’s PC from the system to LAN1 Port. The device will get an IP address automatically via DHCP. Next, open a web browser and access any URL, and then the default User Login Page will appear. Enter the username and password of the local user account generated by Setup Wizard previously (e.g.

“test@local” as the Username and “test” as the Password), then click Login.

Note:

1. OWL800 supports both local built-in user database and external authenti catio n database, such as RADIUS and LDAP. Thus, by entering the full username, the system will automatically identify which authentication server is used. Exception: The postfix can be omitted only when the default authentication option is used; “local” is the default authentication option of the system. You may therefore enter either ‘test’, or ‘test@local in the username field for the previous example.

2. The format of a valid Username is: UserId@postfix, where UserId is the User ID, and postfix is a name for the chosen authentication option.

User’s Manual

OWL800 / OWL2000 / HSG800 ENGLISH

Step 3:

The Login Success Page will appear after a client is authenticated by the system and logs in successfully. In the meantime, successful login means OWL800 has been installed and configured properly.

3.2.3 Basic Configuration

After completing hardware installation, the administrator can configure the OWL800 via web browsers.

If the IP address of the administrator’s PC is within the same subnet as OWL800’ s, the n assigning a st ati c IP address within the same subnet as OWL800’s to the administrator’s PC is needed in order to get Administrator Login Page. The following IP address is listed as an example:

IP Address: 192.168.2.10 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.2.254

Once OWL800 has been connected, the Administrator Login Page will appear. Enter “admin” for both the default user name and password in the Username and Password fields, and then click the OK button to log in.

Username: admin

Password: admin

After successfully logging into OWL800, the System Overview page of the web management interface will appear.

If the IP address of the administrator’s PC is not assigned via DHCP within the same subnet as OWL800’s, then a static IP address assigned to the administrator’s computer within the same subnet as OWL800’s is needed. The following IP address is listed as an example:

IP Address: 192.168.1.10 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Once OWL800 has been connected, the Administrator Login Page will appear. Enter “admin” for both the default user name and password in the User name and Password fields, and then click the OK button to log in.
