Chapter 1 Product Introduction

Loopcomm LP-2596K is an Outdoor Long Range 5GHz Wireless AP/CPE/Bridge that provides

wide coverage of network connection in existing environment. It can operate up to 300Mbps data

rate by supporting IEEE 802.11a/n standard and with full WEP, WPA/WPA2 data security,

Wireless LAN Access Control List and TKIP/AES encryption, It keeps the data transmission safe

in any network connection mode. Moreover, it supports different operation modes for any user’s

applications like point to point network and IP surveillance.

Application

Wireless ISP (WISP) Mode:

LP-2596K can operate as station (client) in WISP mode to remotely receive broadband signal

from WISP outdoor AP (base station) of Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Bridge Mode:

Since the antenna characteristics for LP-2596K is directional with high gain design, it can

transmit RF signal for several miles. Based on this point, LP-2596K is greatly used to bridge at

long distance transmission for point to point applications like IP surveillance, networking

company.

I/O Interface

Item Description

Main

It mainly used as Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, which allows

the router powered up by PoE adapter when the connection is

established by RJ-45 Cat.5 cable. It supports auto-sensing on

10/100M speed, half/ full duplex, and complies with IEEE 802.3/

802.3u respectively.

Secondary

The Secondary Ethernet port allows users to connect to another

device through RJ-45 Cat.5 cable. It supports auto-sensing on

10/100M speed, half/ full duplex, and complies with IEEE 802.3/

802.3u respectively.

Reset Bottom

Press continually the reset button at least 5 seconds to reset the

configuration parameters to factory defaults

Earth Ground

It used to connect the metal line to ground in order to avoid the

device from external electrical damage.

Note. LP-2596K built in PoE pass through function on Secondary Ethernet port. It means

the Secondary Ethernet port is able to provide 24V power for a secondary device if this

function enabled on Web Configuration (Please refer to the statement on Advanced Setting

of Radio menu).

Product Label

It includes related essential information about LP-2596K stickered on the back of device.
