About This Guide

This guide explains how to set up the access point Z500 for WLAN access in a general network deployment, and the various LED status indication.

Product Overview

Z500 is a carrier-grade dual-band 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac outdoor Wi-Fi AP, designed for deployments in outdoor locations. With an integrated high-gain dual-band panel antenna specially optimized for outdoor LOS and NLOS deployment, it is ideal for carrier application of last mile or single hop long distance wireless backhaul and stable outdoor Wi-Fi coverage.

Designed and tested for salt spray, vibration, extreme thermal conditions, shock and dust, the IP67-rated Z500 is weather-tolerant and is able to deliver uncompromised performance despite extreme environments.

Supporting 16 isolated SSIDs for each radio, Z500 simplifies access policy implementation, particularly useful for office environment or retailers who need to separate staff and guest use for security reason. Client access to different SSIDs are forbidden to visit each other and thus private information can be securely protected. Different QoS policy and authentication method can also be applied to each SSID, making it convenient to classify access roles.

Z500 is designed for easy and convenient centralized management through the MeshProvision Server. Better still, unlike the traditional thin AP model, Z500 can continue to operate perfectly even when the MeshProvision Server shuts down for any reason.

Safety Instructions

1. Read these safety instructions carefully before installation or usage.

2. Keep this user manual for later reference.

3. Disconnect the access point from the power source before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for

cleaning. Do not use liquid or spray detergents.

4. To avoid risk of injury from electrical shock or energy hazard, installation and service of this

product must be performed by qualified service personnel.

5. Install the access point on a reliable surface. Poor installation may cause it to fall onto people or

equipment and make body injury and equipment damage.

6. Do not install the access point near the power line, electric lamp, power grid, or in any forceful

power grid place.

7. To acquire steady power, connect the PoE port with a network cable under 50m. The network

cable compiles with the DC resistance definition in the YD/926.2 protocol.

8. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the access point to the

power outlet.

9. Use a steady power source to ensure normal functioning.

10. Ensure the power adapter is grounded well when installing the access point indoor.

11. The lightning protection module inside the device is basic. Install any additional protection if

necessary.

12. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the power

cord.

13. All cautions and warnings on the device should be noted.

14. If the access point is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid

damage by transient overvoltage.

15. Never open the access point. For safety reasons, the access point should be opened only by

qualified service personnel.

16. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service personnel: i. The power cord or plug is damaged.

ii. Liquid has penetrated into the access point.

iii. The access point does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the user's

manual.

iv. The access point has been dropped and damaged.

v. The access point has obvious signs of breakage.

17. DO NOT LEAVE THE ACCESS POINT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE STORAGE TEMPERATURE

MAY GO BELOW 0° C OR ABOVE 45° C. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE ACCESS POINT.

Configuring and Monitoring the Access Point

The web-based configuration and monitoring platform, MeshProvision Server, is specially designed for the P2MT wireless network architecture including Z500. You can configure and monitor the entire network right from your fingertips in a centralized manner, and from anywhere in the world.

Unlike a WLAN controller (or so-called access controller), the MeshProvision Server is NOT required to be running for the wireless network to operate. In other words, it can be shut down without affecting the wireless network at all. Therefore, it will never be the Single-Point-Of-Failure by any means.

The Z500 supports traffic monitoring, configuration broadcast, map configuration and email notification for an easy and convenient approach of network deployment and maintenance. These functions should be performed with the MeshProvision Server.

For more details on how to configure and monitor the Z500, please refer to the MeshProvision Server User Guide.
