2-4 Hardware Installation
Take the following steps to set up your RADIO.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
The Wireless LAN RADIO supports 10/100M Ethernet connection. Connect the CAT5
cable from the RADIO to the RJ-45 connector of PoE (marked “To RADIO”) for RADIO
connection. Then connect the other end of the POE with straight RJ-45 cable to a hub or a
switch. Please note that, use the cross-over cable when you desire to connect the PoE
of RADIO to a PC.
Connect the Antenna
In RADIO connection, you can connect antenna to the N-type connector of RADIO.
Connect the Power Cable
Connect adapter to the PoE, and plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: Only use the power adapter supplied with the PoE of RADIO. Otherwise, the
product may be damaged.

About
The About screen describes the product information briefly. The RADIO information includes
Wireless Bridge Name, MAC Address, and Firmware Version.
Basic Setup
-11-
The Wireless Bridge Name is used to give a name to your bridge. This will enable you to
manage your Wireless Bridge more easily if you have multiple Wireless Bridges on your
network.
Ethernet Data Rate: The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your
Ethernet network. Select the desired rate from the drop-down menu and choose “Automatic”
to adapt 10Mbps or 100Mbps Base-T by automatic detection.
Spanning Tree Protocol : This function provides optimization of network traffic for multiple
wireless bridges. You may Enable or Disable the Spanning Tree Protocol used in the wireless
bridge.
VLAN(802.1Q) : VLANs can enhance performance by conserving bandwidth, and improve
security by limiting traffic to specific domains. You may select the Enable will link the VLAN
functionality on the Base Station.
Management VLAN ID : This allows 802.1Q VLAN devices to management the WEB GUI
of the RADIO. The default value is “0” which allows all untagging (Non VLAN) devices to
access the RADIO.
IP Address
As a Bridge mode, you can assign a proper IP address to your wireless bridge manually by
selecting Manual. If you would like the wireless bridge to obtain the IP address from the
DHCP server on your network automatically, select DHCP.
IP Address: Type the IP address of your bridge. (Default: 192.168.1.1).
IP Subnet Mask: The Bridge’s Subnet Mask must be the same as your Ethernet network. We
recommended that you do NOT change the value. (Default: 255.255.255.0).
Default Gateway: The Bridge will use this value for default Gateway.
Primary DNS Server: The Bridge will use this value for primary Domain Name Server.
Secondary DNS Server: The Bridge will use this value for secondary Domain Name Server.
Time
While you connect the Bridge to Internet, the Bridge could automatically synchronize the
current time of the bridge with the Time Server that you have set.
Time Server: the central time of the Time Server.
Time Server Port: the port of the Time Server.
Time Zone: You may select the appropriate local time zone for your Bridge from a list of all
available time zones. Default: GMT.
Note: If you complete the settings, please click on “Apply” for changes to take effect.

3-2 Wireless Setup
Radio Settings:
Operating Mode: There are three different wireless modes to operate, Base Station, CPE,
and Peer-to-Peer. The default is “Base Station”.
Basically, the Multi-Client mode and LAN-to-LAN mode all are used to support multiple
devices to access internet through CPEs. But Multi-Client mode only supports IP packet, and
LAN-to-LAN supports any Ethernet protocol.
If the Base Station supports LAN-to-LAN capability(this firmware embedded), then the CPEs
which connect to that Base Station could be configured to Multi-Client mode or LAN-to-LAN
mode.
If the Base Station doesn't support LAN-to-LAN capability(old firmware embedded), then the
CPEs which connect to that Base Station should be configured to Multi-Client mode.
Base Station ID: Edit VBS/VLAN Settings.
Modulation: For this model, the modulation is OFDM.
Channel / Frequency: Select the appropriate channel/Frequency from the list provided to
correspond with your network settings.
Data Rate: The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your wireless
network. To specify rate of data transmission, select the desired rate from the drop-down
menu and choose “Best” to adapt the rate to the best available.
Output Power: Set the transmit signal strength of RADIO. The options are full, half, quarter, eighth
and min. Decrease the transmit power if necessary. The best performance for max. throughput test is
preset at the “full” setting.
It should be selected again after being reset.
