1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
This manual is intended for system integrators, field engineers and network administrators to
set up WAB-3003 108M Outdoor PoE AP/ CPE/ Bridge in their network environments. It
contains step-by-step procedures and graphic examples to guide users with networking knowledge
to complete the installation.
The 802.11 b/g compliant WAB-3003 is a multi-mode Last-Mile Broadband solution for Wireless
Internet Service Provider (WISP). It can be used as an outdoor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE
mode) to receive wireless signal over the last mile, helping WISPs deliver wireless broadband
Internet service to new residential and business customers, where wired broadband Internet service,
such as cable and DSL, cannot serve. In addition, it can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless
Access Point (AP mode), either indoors or outdoors.
The WAB-3003 is compact in size and weatherproof. Coming with a mounting kit, it can be
mounted on a pole or wall. Specifically developed for outdoor use, the fully-hardened, IP68-rated
WAB-3003 can withstand wind, rain, lightning, power surges, and extreme temperatures.
The following is a network diagram for a typical WISP application.

3.2 Basic Configuration
3.2.1 Introduction to Web Management Interface
WAB-3003 provides a user friendly web management interface for configuration. As WAB-3003 is
a dual-mode system which can be configured as either an access point (AP Mode) or a gateway (CPE
Mode) based on your needs, it is required to follow the respective installation procedures provided to
properly set up the desired mode for this system.
Default IP Address of Web Management Interface:
The default IP address and Subnet Mask for the CPE mode and AP mode are as follows:
AP Mode
CPE Mode Mode
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 IP Address
255.255.25
5.0
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default User Name and Password:
The default User name and Password for the root and admin accounts are as follows:
Mode AP Mode CPE Mode
Management
Account
Root Account Root Account Admin Account
User Name root root admin
Password admin admin admin
There are two system management accounts for AP & CPE modes to maintain the system, root
and admin, and each has different levels of management capabilities. The root account is
empowered with full privileges while the admin account is with partial ones; there is only one
management account for AP mode, root. For more information on the privileges of these two
accounts, please refer to Appendix A. System Management Account Privileges.
< AP Mode – Default Mode >
Step 1
: IP Segment Set-up for Administrator PC
Set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as WAB-3003 in TCP/IP of the
administrator PC, such as the following example. Do not duplicate the IP address used here
with the IP address of WAB-3003 or any other devices within the same network.
>> Example of IP Segment:
The valid range of IP address is 1 ~ 254. However, 1 must be avoided as it is already used by
WAB-3003. Below depicts an example of using 100 (the underlined value can be changed
as desired).
IP Address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
