3 Introduction
GD-GEO20 offers reliable, great performance and cost-effective point-to-multipoint outdoor and indoor wireless solutions perfectly suited for access technology, private network and hotspots. Beside that APC (Access Point/Customer Premises Equipment) can be used for a light point-to-point applications. APC works in unlicensed 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency band, which is attractive solution for quick network creation with minimum investment. These products support newest WLAN standards IEEE
802.11n and are compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g, also have options for SISO and MIMO functionality. The private protocol named iPoll offers effective point-to-multipoint deployment scenario.
and simple
3.1 Deployment Scenarios
3.1.1 HotSpot
AP can easily create hotspot‟s zone network on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz unlicensed band. IEEE 11n lets achieve (depending on laptop, smart-phone or PDA capabilities) great throughput and support all possible client equipment (based on IEEE 802.a/b/g). Hotspot zones can be created indoor or outdoor.
8
HotSpot Scenario
3.1.2 Point to Multipoint
This is the IEEE 802.11n wireless multipoint which delivers several times higher throughput than
802.11a/g. The APC supports a private wireless point to multipoint protocol called iPoll which allows connecting more than one iPoll Stations to the iPoll Access Point thus creating a robust point to multi point network.
Point to Multipoint Scenario
3.1.3 Light PTP
GD-GEO20 supports access point and station operating modes, therefore point-to-point can be created
From AP and Station or from 2 Station’s or from 2 AP‟s. For simplicity two Stations can be used
Because they have integrated directional antennas. There are available options for SISO and MIMO PTPs. Maximum achievable real data throughput is up to 160 Mbps.

Light PTP Scenario
4 Device Setup
The default product address is 192.168.2.66. To access the Web management interface, configure your PC with a static IP address on the
192.168.2.0 subnet with mask 255.255.255.0. Connect the AP device in to the same physical network as your PC. Open the Web browser and type the default IP address of the AP device https://192.168.2.66/ and the login page will be loaded. Enter default administrator login settings:
10
Login Page
The default administrator login settings are: Login: admin Password: admin01
After successful administrator login you will see the main page of the device Web management interface. The device now is ready for configuration.
4.1 AP Setup
Follow the steps for initial wireless Access Point setup that will be prepared to accept wireless Station connections (refer to the section Initial Station Setup for instructions).
Step 1. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the AP.
Step 2. Make sure your computer is set to the same subnet as the AP, i.e. 192.168.2.150
Step 3. Start your Web browser.
Step 4. Each device uses following default settings:
WAN IP: 192.168.2.66
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Username: admin
Password: admin01
Step 5. Enter the default password, and then press the Login button to enter the AP web
management page.
Step 6. Navigate to the Configuration | Network tab and choose the Router network mode with NAT enabled, Static IP enabled on WAN side, LAN settings with DHCP server enabled (to loan an IP addresses for connected clients) on LAN side and click Save Apply:
11
Step 7. Navigate to the Configuration | Wireless tab, choose Access Point wireless mode with WDS enabled, specify the SSID with Broadcast enabled, Security parameters and IEEE mode and click Save&Apply:
12
Step 8. Verify connection. Navigate to Status | Information menu to check if the Station are successfully connected to the APC device:
13
4.2 Station Setup
Follow the steps for initial wireless client setup that will be connected to the previously configured AP (refer to the section Initial AP Setup).
Step 1. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the GD-GEO20 device.
Step 2. Make sure your computer is set to the same subnet as the APC, i.e. 192.168.2.150
Step 3. Start your Web browser.
Step 4. Each APC devices uses following default settings:
WAN IP: 192.168.2.66
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Username: admin
Password: admin01
Step 5. Enter the default password, and then press the Login button to enter the APC web
management page.
Step 6. Navigate to the Configuration | Network tab and choose the bridge network mode with, Dynamic IP enabled (be sure that AP to which the device will be associated has a DHCP server running ((refer to the section Initial AP Setup for instructions)), specify the DHCP fallback settings in case the DHCP server will be unreachable and click Save Apply button:
14
Step 7. Navigate to the Configuration | Wireless tab, choose Station WDS wireless mode, click Scan button near the SSID entry field to choose the SSID of the AP where the station will be associated to. Specify the Security parameters for the AP, check IEEE mode (these settings must conform to AP wireless settings) and click Save Apply:
15
Step 8. Verify connection. Navigate to the Status | Network page. The Network page will show main network information about association with AP:
The main Status | Information page will display wireless information of the link with access point.
The connection status must be displayed as Connected and progress bars indicating the quality of the connection must be displayed:
16
5 Network Mode
5.1 Bridge Mode
The device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. In this mode all LAN port and Wireless interface will be a part of the Bridge.
17
Bridge Mode
With a Bridge, all connected computers are in the same network subnet. The only data that is allowed to cross the bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address on the other side of the bridge.
5.2 Router Mode
In router mode the device will receive internet through WAN port and will share it to the LAN ports that will be separated with a different IP range. The type of connection to the WAN interface can be made by Static IP, DHCP client or PPPoE client.
Router Mode
GD-GEO20
6 Device Operation
6.1 Web Management Structure
The main web management menu is displayed after successfully login into the system (see the figure below). From this menu all essential configuration pages are accessed. The active menu tab is displayed in a different color:

6.2 Appling and Saving Configuration Changes
19
There are three general buttons located on the right top corner of the WEB GUI allowing managing device configuration:
Apply – if pressed new configuration settings are applied instantly. It will take few seconds and
the device will be running with new settings. It should be noted that pressing Apply button settings are not written to the permanent memory. Therefore, if the device is rebooted it will start with old configuration settings.
Discard – if pressed parameter changes are discarded. It should be noted that if Apply or
Save Apply is pressed it is not possible to discard changes.
Save Apply – if pressed new configuration settings are applied instantly and written to the
Permanent memory.
It is not required to press Apply or Save Apply in every Web GUI tab. The device remembers all changes made in every tab and after action button is used, all changes will be applied.
