Operational summary
The AW900i replaces costly wiring with a wireless Ethernet bridge that can enable remote Wi-Fi access points, Ethernet pan/tilt/zoom
security cameras, VoIP phones, or Internet kiosks. AvaLAN’s product offers the ideal combination of price, range, data rate, security,
interference avoidance, quality-of-service, and ease-of-use.
The AW900i is the best solution when:
— a Broadband Ethernet drop will cost too much or is impractical to install
— guaranteed DSL-rate throughput is required (kiosks/Wi-Fi access points/PTZ cameras)
— guaranteed latency for voice or video is required (PTZ cameras/VoIP)
— Wi-Fi is too slow due to saturation or 2.4 GHz interference (airport/mall/PTZ cameras)
— an indoor long-range broadband backhaul is required

AW900iUser’s Manual
Quick setup
1) Attach an AW2 antenna to each radio.
2) Plug in the AW900i using the power adapter.
3) Connect an Ethernet cable from each AW900i to a network device.
4) Send Ethernet trafc. For troubleshooting, see Page 4.
System diagram
Each AW900i radio automatically selects the best radio channel, encrypts the Ethernet trafc, and transports the data wirelessly to its
mate. Any Ethernet device can be connected to the AW900i. The AW900i functions in place of an Ethernet cable and provides a transparent wireless point-to-point Ethernet cable replacement. Crossover cables are not necessary as the AW900i automatically senses the
device (client or switch).
