1.5.2 Dual AP Mode
In Dual AP mode, both wireless interface of A.DUO are set as AP and provide hotspot
service on each interface. Radio1 is set to 11a mode while Radio2 is set to 11g/b Mode
(changeable to 11a also). This mode is most useful for Dual Band Hotspot function such
as in the hotels, shopping malls, or offices.

1.5.3 WISP + AP Mode
In this mode, Radio1 (in 11a mode) acts as a client to connect with remote WISP Base
Station. Radio2 (in 11g/b mode) works as an AP router to allow subscriber to share the
WISP connection wirelessly. Using the A.DUO, WISP no longer requires 2 AP/CPE to
provide wireless access in subscriber’s home or office.
1.5.4 Bridge + AP Mode
In this mode, Radio1 is working as Bridge mode in 5GHz while Radio is working as AP
mode in 2.4Ghz or 5GHz (selectable0). This mode is useful for WISP backbone
application where Radio 1 is used for connection to another Base Station and Radio2 is
used for service to subscribers. This mode can also be used as repeater in indoor
environment.

This section describes the hardware features and the hardware installation procedure for
the A.DUO. For software configuration, please go to chapter 3 for more details.
2.1 Before You Start
It is important to read through this section before you install the A.DUO.
The A.DUO’s PoE port is 48V 802.3af compliant. If you need to power the A.DUO by
PoE, you need to purchase 802.3af compliant PoE kit (e.g. AirLive PoE-48PB) or PoE
switch. It does not work with passive PoE system.
The use of 5GHz spectrum, Turbo modes, and 5/10MHz channel bandwidth might be
prohibited in some countries. Please consult with your country’s telecom regulation
first.
Please installation the antennas first before connecting the power. Connecting the
power without installing the antennas may result in damage to the wireless radios
which may void your warranty.
You must set the distance parameter to make long distance connection work. Please
refer to chapter 4 of this user’s guide for details.

3. Configuring the A.DUO
3.2 Prepare Your PC
The A.DUO can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or wireless network.
The default IP address of the A.DUO is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
This means the IP address of the PC should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254.
The default mode for A.DUO is “Dual Band Router” mode. In this mode, the A.DUO’s
DHCP server is turned on; therefore, your PC can get IP automatically from A.DUO. You
jus need to set your PC to “Obtain IP address automatically” on the TCP/IP setting. By
default, Windows already do this so you do not need to change.
However, if you are using A.DUO in non-router modes (Dual AP, Dual Bridge, Bridge+AP,
Cllient+AP). You need to set your IP mannuall. To prepare your PC for management
with the A.DUO, please do the following:
1. Connect your PC directly to the LAN port on the DC Injector of A.DUO
2. Set your PC’s IP address manually to 192.168.1.100 (or other address in the same
subnet)
You are ready now to configure the A.DUO using your PC.

3.3 Management Interface
The A.DUO can be configured using one the management interfaces below:
3.3.1 Web Management (HTTP):
You can manage your A.DUO by simply typing its IP address in the web browser. Most
functions of A.DUO can be accessed by web management interface. We recommend using
this interface for initial configurations. To begin, simply enter A.DUO’s IP address (default is
192.168.1.1) on the web browser. The default user name is “admin”; default password is
“airlive”.
3.3.2 Secured Web Management (HTTPS):
HTTPS is also using web browser for configuration. But all the data transactions are
securely encrypted using SSL encryption. Therefore, it is a safe and easy way to manage
your A.DUO. We highly recommend WISP and service provider to use HTTPS for
management.
To begin, simply enter https://192.168.1.1
from your browser will pop up. Please click “Continue to this website” to login A.DUO.

3. Configuring the A.DUO
For more information about Web Management and HTTPS, please make sure to
read through “Intr oduction to Web Management” in this chapter, Chapter 4,
and Chapter 5
3.3.3 Command Line Interface (Telnet):
A.DUO can be managed through the command line interface (CLI). It is possible to write a
text script file, and then paste it into the CLI to execute several commands at once.
However, Telnet does not encrypt its message. Therefore, it is not secure. The default
Telnet management port is TCP port 23.
To use the CLI, please open the command line window. Then type “telnet 192.168.1.1” to
start.
When asked for password, please enter “airlive”.
To get a list of available command and their usage, please type “help” on the command
prompt.

3. Configuring the A.DUO
3.3.4 Secure Shell (SSH, SSH2):
SSH is an encrypted Command Line Interface that allow user to send text commands
through SSL encryption. Therefore, it provides the added advantage of security comparing
to Telnet. As with Telnet, the SSH and SSH2 provide the possibility to write a text script and
paste into the CLI interface for multiple command execution. It also makes configuration
change across many A.DUOs easier. The default management port for SSH/SSH2 is
TCP/UDP port 22.
To manage via the SSH/SSH2 protocol, you would need a SSH client. Free SSH clients are
widely available on the Internet. You can find where to download them by using Internet
search engine such as Google. In this guide, we will use a popular SSH/Telnet utility call
Putty.
Once you have download and install Putty. Please follow the figure below to make a
connection with A.DUO:
1. Choose “SSH” as indicated in the diagram
2. Enter the IP address of A.DUO
3. Click on “Open” to start the SSH session.
