Preface
The 802.11 b/g compliant Airlink101® APO1000/APO1010 is an outdoor high power wireless access point that can be used
for five different purposes in three different modes. In the AP mode, it can be deployed either as traditional fixed wireless
Access Point (AP), or combination of AP and WDS (AP+WDS). In the WDS mode, it’s only used to expand or bridge Ethernet
networks and deployed as a main base, relay based or remote base station. In the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment)
mode, it connects to Wireless Internet Service Provider’s (WISP) outdoor network via wireless WA N gateway to access to
Internet. In the Client Bridge + Universal Repeater mode, it connects to Wireless Internet Service Provider’s (WISP) outdoor
network via wireless or wired bridge to access to Internet
The die-cast sealed APO1000/APO1010is compact in size and compliant with IP68 weatherproof standard. It comes with a
mounting kit to mount on pole or wall. It is suitable for both indoor and outd oor usage with its 500mW output power, which is
higher than a typical indoor AP (100mW).
This Quick Installation Guide provides instructions and refe rence material for getting started with APO1000/APO1010. This
guide will also show you how to connect APO1000/APO1010 to other network devices.
