FCC Notice
FCC Certified Declaration:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions : (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Reminder:
To comply with FCC part 15 rules, the ODU must only be used as a
system as FCC certified. The system must also be professionally installed
to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the responsibility
of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified
systems are deployed in where FCC rules apply. Further, according to
FCC Part 15 regulations, Section 15.247(b)(3)(iii), the installer must
ensure that the high-gain directional antenna used in this system is used
exclusively for fixed, point- to-point operations and that multiple
co-located intentional radiators transmitting the same information are
not used. For further information, please see Appendix B.
Notice :
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 2 meters from all persons and must not
be co- located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. No change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any
change to the antenna or the device could result in the device exceeding
the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to operate the
device.

1-2 Applications
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU offers a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless
client access to the network in applications like these:
1. Remote Access to Corporate Network Information
E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation.
2. Difficult-to-Wire Environments
Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open area where wiring is difficult
to deploy.
3. Frequently Changing Environments
Retailers, manufacturers and those who frequently rearrange the workplace and cha nge
location.
4. Temporary LANs for Special Projects or Peak Time
C1- Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites where a temporary network will be
practical.
C2- Retailers, airline and shipping companies need additional workstations during peak
peri od.
C3- Auditors requiring workgroups at customer sites.
5. Access to Database for Mobile Workers
Doctors, nurses, retailers, accessing their database while being mobile in the hospital,
retail store or office campus.
6. High Security Connection
The secure wireless network can be installed quickly and provide flexibility. (Please
refer to page 16 for more information on encryption configuration.)

1-3 System Configurations
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU can be configured in a variety of network system
configurations.
Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure, the ODU can act as a bridge. The ODU connects the wireless
clients together. The ODU acts as a center point for all wireless communications. This
would increase efficiency of the communications since the wireless adapters do not need to be
within direct range of each other.
Wireless Infrastructure with Stations Attaching to a Wired LAN
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU will provide an access to the local LAN. An integration of
wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN
PC users and an ODU construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless PC in this BSS
can talk to each other on your network via the ODU.

Point-to-Point/Point-to-Multipoint Connection
The 11Mbps Wireless ODU provides ideal bridging solution for inter-building LANs
connection. In an inter-building application, the 11Mbps ODU acts as a repeater, thus
expanding and connecting corporate LANs with reliable and high speed connection.

SFTP cable from the ODU to the RJ-45 connector of PoE (marked “To ODU”) for ODU
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 ODU to a PC.
n Connect the Antenna
In ODU connection, you can connect antenna to the N-type connector of ODU by RF
cable.
n Connect the Power Cable
Connect DC 12V 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 ODU. Otherwise, the product
may be damaged.

Chapter 3 Configuring the ODU
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU is shipped with default parameters, which will be suitable
for the typical Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint. You can still adjust configuration
settings depending on how you would like to manage yo ur wireless network. The 11Mbps
Wireless ODU allows for configuration either via the configuration utility, known as Access
Point Manager, TCP/IP (Telnet) connection or Web Management.
3-1 Configuration
Installed on your Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP desktop computer, the Windows-based
utility “Access Point Utility” provides a user-friendly interface. The ODU Utility enables
you to configure all of your ODUs on the network more easily than ever before. The
following gives instructions guiding you through the installations of the ODU Utility.
1. Insert the Product CD-ROM disk that came with your product kit into the corresponding
drive on your computer.
2. From the Start menu on the Windows desktop, choose Run.
3. In the Run dialog box, type the path where the utility is located, then click OK.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Access Point Utility.
5. Upon completion, go to Program Files and execute the Access Point Utility. It will begin
to browse all the ODU available on the network.
