13
Outdoor Point to Point CPE
Note
User Guide
2. Remove the housing of each CPE, and use the included PoE injectors to power them on.
Wait until the LAN/WAN LED indicators of the CPEs light up.
3. Wait for the two CPEs to negotiate and connect to each other automatically. The following LED
indicator status indicates successful connection of the two CPEs.
− Automatic Bridging is only applicable when the CPEs are in factory settings, and the bridging process lasts less than 1
minute after the CPEs are powered on.
− Automatic Bridging is only applicable to peer-to-peer bridging. If there are three or more powered CPEs nearby, automatic
bridge fails. So if you want to perform peer-to-multi peer bridging, please refer to Method 2: Set up the CPEs Using Web
UI.
− If the bridging succeeds, the DHCP servers of the two CPEs are disabled, and the IP address of the CPE working in Client
mode changes to 192.168.2.2.

6.3 DHCP Server
6.3.1 Overview
The CPE provides a DHCP server function to assign IP addresses to clients on the LAN. By default, the DHCP
server function is disabled.
If the new and original IP addresses of the LAN port belong to different network segment, the system changes the IP address
pool of the DHCP server function of the CPE so that the IP address pool and the new IP address of the LAN port belong to the
same network segment.
6.3.2 Configuring the DHCP Server

DHCP Server
It specifies whether to enable the DHCP server function of the CPE. By default, it is disabled.
Start IP
It specifies the start IP address of the IP address pool of the DHCP server. The default value is
192.168.2.100.
End IP
It specifies the end IP address of the IP address pool of the DHCP server. The default value is

Tip
The start and end IP addresses must belong to the same network segment as the IP address
of the LAN port of the CPE.
Lease Time
It specifies the validity period of an IP address assigned by the DHCP server to a client.
When half of the lease time has elapsed, the client sends a DHCP Request to the DHCP server
to renew the lease time. If the request succeeds, the lease time is extended according to the
request. Otherwise, the client sends the request again when 7/8 of the lease time has
elapsed. If the request succeeds, the lease time is extended according to the request.
Otherwise, the client must request an IP address from the DHCP server after the lease time
expires.
It is recommended that you retain the default value 1 day.
Subnet Mask
It specifies the subnet mask assigned by the DHCP server to clients. The default value is
255.255.255.0.
Gateway Address
It specifies the default IP address gateway assigned by the DHCP server to clients. Generally, it
is the IP address of the LAN port of a router on the LAN. The default value is 192.168.2.254.
Tip
A client can access a server or host not in the local network segment only through a gateway.
Primary DNS Server
It specifies the primary DNS server IP address assigned by the DHCP server to clients. The

7 Wireless
7.1 Basic
7.1.1 Overview
This module enables you to set basic wireless settings of the CPE, including SSID-related parameters,
network mode, channel, transmit power and so on.
Broadcast SSID
When the CPE broadcasts an SSID, nearby wireless clients can detect the SSID. When this parameter is set to
Disable, the CPE does not broadcast the SSID and nearby wireless clients cannot detect the SSID. In this case,
you need to enter the SSID manually on your wireless client if you want to connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the SSID. This to some extent enhances the security of the wireless network.
It is worth noting that after Broadcast SSID is set to Disable, a hacker can still connect to the corresponding
wireless network if he/she manages to obtain the SSID by other means.
Isolate Client
This parameter implements a function similar to the VLAN function for wired networks. It isolates the
wireless clients connected to the same wireless network corresponding to an SSID, so that the wireless
clients can access only the wired network connected to the CPE. Applying this function to hotspot setup at
public places such as hotels and airports helps increase network security.
Max. Number of Clients
This parameter specifies the maximum number of clients that can connect to the wireless network
corresponding to an SSID. If the number is reached, the wireless network rejects new connection requests
from clients. This limit helps balance load among CPEs.
Security Mode
A wireless network uses radio, which is open to the public, as its data transmission medium. If the wireless
83
Outdoor Point to Point CPE
User Guide
network is not protected by necessary measures, any client can connect to the network to use the resources
of the network or access unprotected data over the network. To ensure communication security,
transmission links of wireless networks must be encrypted for protection.
The CPE supports various security modes for network encryption, including None, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA, and WPA2.
None
It indicates that any wireless client can connect to the wireless network. This option is not recommended
because it affects network security.
WEP
It uses a static key to encrypt all exchanged data, and ensures that a wireless LAN has the same level of
security as a wired LAN. Data encrypted based on WEP can be easily cracked. In addition, WEP supports a
maximum wireless network throughput of only 54 Mbps. Therefore, this security mode is not
recommended.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK
They belong to pre-shared key or personal key modes, where Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK supports both
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK adopt a pre-shared key for authentication, while the AP
generates another key for data encryption. This prevents the vulnerability caused by static WEP keys, and
makes the three security modes suitable for ensuring security of home wireless networks. Nevertheless,
because the initial pre-shared key for authentication is manually set and all clients use the same key to
connect to the same AP, the key may be disclosed unexpectedly. This makes the security modes not suitable
for scenarios where high security is required.
WPA and WPA2
To address the key management weakness of WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, the WiFi Alliance puts forward WPA
and WPA2, which use 802.1x to authenticate clients and generate data encryption–oriented root keys. WPA
and WPA2 use the root keys to replace the pre-shared keys that set manually, but adopt the same
encryption process as WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
WPA and WPA2 uses 802.1x to authenticate clients and the login information of a client is managed by the
client. This effectively reduces the probability of information leakage. In addition, each time a client
connects to an AP that adopts the WPA or WPA2 security mode, the RADIUS server generates a data
encryption key and assigns it to the client. This makes it difficult for attackers to obtain the key. These
features of WPA and WPA2 help significantly increase network security, making WPA and WPA2 the
preferred security modes of wireless networks that require high security.
