User’s Manual
500mW eXtreme Power 11Na Outdoor Bridge
Power 11Na Outdoor AP/ Bridge supports four operational modes, the AP mode and the
WDS mode and the CPE mode and Universal Repeater Mode , respectively with built-in
remote management features simplify the deployment and reduce cost for continued
maintenance of the outdoor bridge .
1.1.1 Access Point: It can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless Access Point.
1.1.2 Repeater: To expand wireless service by repeating prior AP.
1.1.3 WDS: It can be used to expand Ethernet network via wireless WDS Link.
1.1.4 AP+WDS: Not only to extend Ethernet network, but also provide wireless access to
the expanded network.
1.1.5 CPE (Customer Premises Equipment): It is a wireless gateway with NAT and DHCP
Server functions to connect to Wireless Internet Service Provider's (WISP).
1.1.6 Client Bridge + Universal Repeater: It is a wireless repeater or bridge to connects to
Wireless Internet Service Provider's (WISP).
1.2 System Concept
The OW-200N2 is not only designed and used as traditional outdoor AP, but also with rich
features tailored for WISP applications. The two-level management capability and access
control ease WISP and owners to maintain and manage wireless network in a more
controllable fashion. Main applications are listed as follows with illustration:
1.2.1 Wireless CPE for Multi Dwelling Unit/Multi Tenant Unit(MDU/MTU) complexes
including apartments, dormitories, and office complexes.

1.2.2 Outdoor Access Point for school campuses, enterprise campuses, or manufacture
plants.
1.2.3 Indoor Access Point for hotels, factories, or warehouses where industrial grade
devices are preferred.
1.2.4 Public hotspot operation for café, parks, convention centers, shopping malls, or
airports.
Wireless coverage for indoor and outdoor grounds in private resorts, home yards, or gulf
course communities.
1.3 Applications in Wireless Network
OW-200N2 is a multiple mode system which can be configured either as a wireless

1.3.1.2 Example 2 : Router AP with WDS
It can be deployed as a gateway with wireless Access Point and provides WDS link for network
extension.
1.3.2 Configuration in AP Mode (including Access Point + WDS)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base
station is typically connected to a wired network via the Ethernet port. A relay base
station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote base
stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections
from wireless clients and pass data upwards to a network wirelessly.
1.3.2.1 Example 1: Access Point without WDS
It can be deployed as a tradition fixed wireless Access Point

1.3.3 Configuration in WDS Mode (Pure WDS)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base
station is typically connected to a wired network via the Ethernet port. A relay base
station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote base
stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections
from wireless clients and pass data upwards to a network wirelessly. In this mode, it
can support single or multiple WDS links and no wireless clients can associate with it
though.

wireless signal over last mile application, helping WISPs deliver wireless broadband
Internet service to residents and business customers. In the CPE mode, OW-200N2
is a gateway enabled with NAT and DHCP Server functions. The wired clients
connected to OW-200N2 are in different subnet from those connected to Main Base
Station, and, in CPE mode, it does not accept wireless association from wireless
clients.
1.3.5 Configuration in Client Bridge + Universal Repeater Mode
It can be used as an Client Bridge + Universal Repeater to receive wireless signal
over last mile applications, helping WISPs deliver wireless broadband Internet service
to new residential and business customers. In this mode, OW-200N2 is enabled with
DHCP Server functions. The wired clients of OW-200N2 are in the same subnet from
Main Base Station and it accepts wireless connections from client devices.
