1.4 System Requirements
Installation of the Outdoor Wireless Client Bridge requires the following:
1. A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer or Ethernet
data device with an available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the
configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the
Ethernet network.
2. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to
Ethernet network.
3. A RS-232 consol port cable is connected to PC/AT compatible
computer.
4. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The Wireless client bridge is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module.
The Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to Wireless
client bridge unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following
benefits to improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
1. This works great in areas where you may not have power
and/or Ethernet easily accessible, like house roof.
2. This also allows you to place the Wireless client bridge unit
closer to the antenna, more easily thus reducing signal loss
over antenna cabling.
3. Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz
signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
4. Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

2.4.3 Login into the Web Interface
The Wireless client bridge supports access to the configuration system
through the use of an HTTP Interface.
Web Configuration
Before configuring Wireless client bridge, user needs to know the IP
Address assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP
Address 192.168.5.99 was assigned to the Wireless client bridge by
default. To start a web connection, use http://192.168.2.1
Identify the IP Address assigned to the unit
However, user may change the IP Address later and cannot connect the
unit by using the default IP Address. In this case, it is a must to identify the
Wireless client bridge current IP Address before configuring. To identify the
IP Address, user can use the serial port (refer to page 4
the current network status.
To start a Serial Port connection by following the steps below.
Step 1 Attach the RS-232 null modem console cable (refer to page 4
page 6
) to the RS-232 Console Port on Wireless client bridge.
Connect the other end to a terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program.
Step 2 Set the terminal to 115200 baud rate, None Parity, 8 data bits, 1
Stop bit, and ANSI compatible.
Step 3 Run a terminal emulation program on PC, such as Hyper
Terminal, and set the following connection properties.
Step 3.1 Click the Start icon > Program > Accessories >

Chapter 3. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several main types of installations implemented by
using the Outdoor Wireless System commonly. This is by no means
intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations, but rather
shows examples of some of the more common implementations. The
Wireless client bridge can only be configured into Wireless Client
Router/Bridge to accomplish the broadband wireless point-to-point, pointto-multipoint systems with Central Bridge as the figure shown below.
The Wireless client bridge performs in either router or bridge mode. In a
Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between network systems is
done through a centralized agent. Among the Outdoor Wireless
Router/Bridge products, the centralized agent is Central Router or Central
Bridge and the individual network notes may be Wireless Client Router or
Bridge .
To show the available Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples
are provided.

The following gives more info about the parameters set in the Wireless LAN
information page to users.
rts Threshold
The setting determines the packet size, ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes, at
which the bridge issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet.
A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client
devices are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients
are far apart and can detect only the bridge and not each other.
frag Threshold
The setting determines the size, ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes, at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a
great deal of radio interference.
SSID
The Service Set ID (SSID) can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry
from 2 to 32 characters long. This string functions as a password to join the
radio network.
Station Name
Enter any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry.

Chapter 8. Regulatory Compliance Information
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Canada RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna of transmitter.
Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class C digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radio, computers, or other electronic devices. To
minimize or prevent such interference, this equipment should not be placed
or operated near these devices. If interference is experienced, moving the
equipment away from them will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Professional Installation
Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain directional
antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as a point-topoint system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP, require
professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and the end
user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-to-point
system.
Systems operating as a point-to-multipoint system or use non directional
antennas cannot exceed +30dBm EIRP power requirement under any
circumstances and do not require professional installation.
Information to User
The user manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional
radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Declaration of Conformity
Declares that the product:
Date：November 18, 2003
Model Number：Wireless client bridge
Equipment Type：Wireless Access Bridge
Made in Taiwan
Complies with Part 15 Class C of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
