This LED ashes blue during LAN activity.
RESET
To return any settings to factory defaults, unscrew the dust cap and press the
button for ve seconds or more.
EXT
If you require a higher-gain external antenna, unscrew the dust
cap and make your connection. The EXT connector features a
mechanical switch function that automatically disables the built-
in 9-dBi directional antenna and redirects the RF signal to the
external antenna. Conduct any signal alignment from the
external antenna. N OTE: Do not use the EXT connector for
any other purpose, as doing so could interfere with the
sophisticated mechanical switch inside the device. If the
cable used for an external antenna connection includes a
built-in surge protector, connect the shorter side of the cable to
the Wireless Super G Outdoor PoE Access Point and Bridge.

HARDWARE/CONNECTIONS
BASIC IP NETWORKING
IP (Internet Protocol)
IP stands for Internet protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP
address (e.g., 192.168.10.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning
an IP address to a PC or router: static and automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses
are keyed in manually, while dynamic IPs are distributed by a DHCP server.
Ports
Every packet of trafc is identied by its source and destination addresses, which
ensures that the packet arrives at the correct destination. A port number is also
embedded in each packet to identify which software application generated and
uses that packet. If it blocks a certain port number, it prevents that particular
software from using the connection.
Static IP Address
Static IP addressing ensures that the device will always have the same IP address.
Static addressing is commonly used for your servers.
Dynamic IP Address
A dynamic IP address is one that is automatically assigned to a PC. These IP
addresses are “dynamic” because they are only temporarily leased to the PC
when it connects to the network. This is the most convenient and common way
of managing IP addresses in a network. The server that manages this pool of IP
addresses is called the DHCP server. This product has a DHCP server built in to
simplify the network management.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol)
The PC obtaining an IP address from the server is called the DHCP client. If there
is already a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the
two DHCP servers, as running more than one will cause network problems.
Wireless LAN
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data
using radio signals instead of cables. WLAN has become common in homes,
ofces, airports and public hotspots, and can support the same applications and
software that run on a wired network (LAN). It’s also more convenient, since it
eliminates the need to lay Ethernet cables in a home or ofce. WLAN networking
involves a few additional parameters that need to be congured:
SSID — The service set identier is the “network name” for the WLAN network,
and can be any set of characters or numbers. The DHCP client “sniffs” the
radio frequencies for an AP with the same SSID, then locks onto the AP (thus,
they’re “associated”). To enable Plug and Play convenience, most client cards
can sniff frequencies to extract available SSIDs for user selection.
Encryption — WLAN trafc can be captured by anybody to be read! The solution
is to use encryption to make the trafc appear as random characters to an
eavesdropper. Both the AP and client must use the same encryption standard
and key to enable them to decode the “rubbish.” If the encryption settings are
mismatched, the client and AP cannot associate. WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) is the most common WLAN encryption standard.
Frequency — This device operates in the 2.4 GHz band. Depending on local
regulation, not all the frequencies may be available in every country. Frequency is
congured on the AP only: The client searches for the AP and locks onto that
AP’s channel.

Signal Strength — Radio signals drop in power over distance, and even if all the
settings are correct, low signal strength makes association impossible. The
usable distance between the AP and client can range from a few meters
indoors to a few kilometers. When setting up the client, make sure that:
• The WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls and
metal structures to reach the client.
• There is a line of sight between the AP and client device.
Interference — Interference happens when two clients with the same channels
are placed near one another. The speed of the network drops and the signal
strength uctuates.
Roaming — Association happens when the SSID, Encryption and MAC Address
Control settings are correct between the AP and client. If two APs with these
same settings are located in the same area, the client would choose to
associate to the one that gives it a better signal strength. The client would
“roam” over to the second AP when he moves nearer to it, switching AP and
frequency as he does so.
CONFIGURATION
Before conguring the Wireless Super G Outdoor PoE Access Point and Bridge,
check that the hardware connections have been properly made. If your PC is
wireless, check its card utility to make sure that the signal strength is good and
that the LEDs light up on the device.
Open a Web browser and enter the
device’s LAN IP address in the
browser’s address eld. The default
address is 192.168.10.100.
The Conguration Menu’s left-hand-side navigation panel presents four main
sections — Basic, Advanced, Status and Super User — which are detailed
below along with each of their subsections.
Basic: Site Survey
This screen presents some of the current basic settings.
Basic: Administration
This screen allows you to change the username and password for admin user
and end user. Both defaults are “admin,” reverted to after every resetting to the
factory defaults. NOTE: Both the username and the password are case sensitive.
After making any changes, reboot the device for these changes to take effect.
