Hardware Installation

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the main LAN port (PoE) of the Access Point and the other end to

the AP Ethernet port on the PoE injector. This diagram depicts the hardware configuration.

2. Connect the Power Adapter to the DC-IN port of
the PoE injector and plug the other end in to an
electrical outlet.

3. Connect the second Ethernet cable into the LAN port of
the PoE injector and the other end to the Ethernet port on
the computer.

4. Screw on the provided antennas to the device. Once both connections are secure,
verify the following:

a) Ensure that the POWER light is on (it will be green).
b) Ensure that the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz WLAN light is on (it will

be green for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz).

c) Ensure that the LAN (Computer/ALL-WAP0305AC

Connection) light is on (it will be green).

d) Once all three lights are on, proceed to set up the

Access Point using the computer. Note: The Access Point supports both IEEE 802.3at PoE
(Power over Ethernet) or the included power injector.

15

Mounting the ALL-WAP0305AC

You may use either one as the power source. Do NOT use both at the same time.

2. Drill a 37 mm deep 8 mm hole in the markings and hammer the bolts into the openings.

Using the provided hardware, the ALL-WAP0305AC
can be attached to a wall or a pole.

To attach the ALL-WAP0305AC to a wall using wall mounting kit. 3. Place the lock and flat washers on

the four hex cap screws and drive the screws to attach the bracket to the back of the Access Point.

1. Mark the four locations of the mounting holes on the
flat mounting surface.

4. Tighten the flat washers to secure the bracket to
the

16

mounting surface.

To attach the ALL-WAP0305AC to a pole using the provided pole mounting kit: 3. Thread the open end

of the Pole Strap through the two tabs on the Pole Mount Bracket .

1. Place the lock and flat washers on the four hex cap screws and drive the screws to attach the bracket to the back of the Access
Point. 4. Lock and tighten the Pole Strap to secure the Pole

Mount Bracket to the pole.

2. Drive the four round head screws to attach the Pole Mount Bracket to the bracket. Note: See diagram
below for vertical and horizonal placements.

Chapter 4

Building a Wireless
Network

The ALL-WAP0305AC has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating
modes of the ALL-WAP0305AC.

Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, ALL-WAP0305AC behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate
with the ALL-WAP0305AC. The ALL-WAP0305AC supports up to eight SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.

The ALL-WAP0305AC can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other ALLNET Wireless N 2.4 or 5 GHz
Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas,
resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.

22

WDS AP Mode

The ALL-WAP0305AC also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ALL-WAP0305AC
using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses.

WDS Bridge Mode

In WDS Bridge Mode, the ALL-WAP0305AC can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each ALL-WAP0305AC device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to
communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the ALL-WAP0305AC to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown
in the following diagram.

WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network.

Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel.
More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network
loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from
happening.

WDS Station Mode

Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port.

25

AP Mesh Mode

Under the AP Mesh mode, the ALL-WAP0305AC can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the ALL-WAP0305AC can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and
security password in order to associate with other ALL-WAP0305ACs, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID
and encryption signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and
the other band to broadcast traffic on the network.

26

Mesh Only Mode

Under the Mesh-only mode,
the ALL-WAP0305AC can be configured
with the same Mesh SSID and security password
in order to associate with other Mesh enabled
ALL-WAP0305ACs, instead of connecting with

clients.
