802.11ac/a/b/g/n Outdoor Access Point. It can be configured as:
l an AccessPoint.
l a B.A.T.M.A.N. Mesh (Mesh-AP or Mesh-Only).
l a Wireless Distribution System (WDS-AP, Station, or Bridge).
The FreeWave WP201-100:
l is easyto installin almost any location with its PoE (Power over Ethernet) Injector for quick
outdoor installation.
l enables network administrators to control its transmit power and feature settings for
selecting narrow bandwidths and traffic shaping.
l supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK)
Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.
The WP201-100is designed to operate in a variety of outdoor environments and:
l SupportsIEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/nwireless standards with a maximum speed of:
l 450Mbps data rate on a 2.4GHz frequencyband under 802.11b/g/n mode.
l 1300Mbps data rate on a 5GHz band under 802.11ac/a/n mode for communicating to
and from 5GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or transferring files.
Example: Several WP201-100 Access Points can be deployed in a campus setting using the
5GHz band as a backhaul to provide multiple 2.4GHz wireless cells for computers or mobile
devices in common outdoor areas.

2.1. Connect to the WP201-100 Access Point
Power Notes
l The Universal Power Adapter operates from voltages 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz.
l The WP201-100 is powered through the E1 Port (PoE Input) by any PSE (Power
Sourcing Equipment) which supports IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) including the provided PoE+
Injector.
l Using 100 to 240VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz input power, the WP201-100 can power a PoE
(802.3af) device connected to the WP201-100 E2 Port (PSE Output).
Procedure
1. Remove the protectivecaps from the antenna ports.
2. Attach using a strong hand-tighten the 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennasto their same-labeled
antennaports on the WP201-100.
3. If applicable, replace the protective caps on unused antenna ports.
4. Remove the compression gland assembly from the E1 Port (PoE Input).
5. Thread one end of the Ethernet cable through the cap of the compression gland.
6. Insert the compression gland onto the Ethernet cable.
7. Connect the assembled Ethernet cable (WITHOUT strain-relief) to the E1 Port (PoE
Input) of the WP201-100 and the other end into the AP/Bridge port on the PoE+ Injector.
