1.4 Network Topology
MAP-3100s can be used t o create two network topologi es: a closed network or an Internet
access network that attaches to a network with connectivity to the Internet.
In a closed network infrastructure, as s hown in figure below, all d evices are configured to
operate in the same mode (Relay mode). This network configuration is suitable for
applications where the clients using the mesh only need to communicate with each other and
do not need to ac cess the Internet or other remote network resources that are not directly
connected to the mesh.
Page 10 of 97
An Internet access network, as shown in figure below, is typical ly used to provide Internet
availability to a number of clients that connect to the mesh network. Alternatively, this
configuration can be used to provide access for client devices to remote resources on a
private network. There must be one or more gateway devices in such infrastructure that
provides access from the mesh network to an external network.
Note
1. The MAP-3100 supports 5 operating modes. Three for Layer 3, two for Layer
2.
2. At Layer 3 mode, multiple Gateways are allowed. At Layer 2 mode, only one
Gateway is allowed.
3. At the view of Mesh backhaul network, Layer 2 mode and Layer 3 mode
device can not co-existing to each other.

1.5 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating
coverage of MAP-3100.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate MAP-3100 and wireless clients away from
transformers, microwave o vens, heavy-duty m otors, refrigerators , fluorescent li ghts, and
other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients
as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced.
It is suggested to carry out a site survey prior to installation to determine what devices are
operating in the two bands that the MAP-3100 uses. To detect the presence of other
802.11 devices, a tool such as Network Stumbler
(http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/) can be used.
2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every
environment is uni que with different o bstacles, constr uction materials, weather, etc. It is
hard to determine the exact operat ing range of MAP-3100 in a specif ic location without
testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundled antenna of MAP-3100 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing
straight up, then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal
reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the
antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of MAP-3100 can be replaced with other external
antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want
to use, and make sure it can be used on MAP-3100.

2 Hardware Installation
3100. Otherwise,
2.1 Procedures
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information
about the MAP-3100.
1. Locate an optimum location for the MAP-3100. Plan for the output frequency of the
MAP-3100, 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
2. Assemble the antennas to MAP-3100 follow the frequency band plan. Try to place them
to a position that can best cover your wireless network. The antenna’s position will
enhance the receiving sensitivity. When installing antenna(s), follow these general tips:
For most elevated antenna installations, we recommend you to ask the
professional installers for proper installation and safety.
For the safety reasons, you are recommended never to touch a high-gain
antenna when it is transmitting or point it at any part of your bod y.
Please, follow carefully the instructions with your antenna.
Keep antennas away from metal objects / obstructions (heating and
air-conditioning duc ts , larg e c ei lin g trus s es, building superstr uc tures , a nd major
power cabling runs).
Use a directional a ntenna when you es tablish a link bet ween two buildings. A
directional antenna m ust be properl y aligned to the p oint at the other antenna,
line-of-sight.
Locate an omni-directional antenna in the middle of the desired coverage area if
possible.
Place the antenna as high as possible to increase the coverage area.
Outdoor antennas s hould be m ount ed at a suf f icient h eight to pre vent the r adio
path from above the obstructions such as trees and buildings.
Antenna towers shoul d keep a safe distance from overhead power lines. The
recommended safe distance is twice the tower height.
3. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, con nec t the LAN port of MAP-3100 to a
10Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the management station to a
hub or switch on the same LAN.
4. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on MAP-3100 and plug the other end to a wall
outlet or power strip.
ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the MAP-
Note
the product may be damaged.
The LAN or WAN / Public port of MAP-3100 / MAP-3120/MAP-3020
supports 802.3af POE. The pins for supplying the electricity are 1, 2,
3, 6. If the MAP-3100 is powered from POE, you can skip the step 4
above.
If IEEE802.3af is the planned power source, Only one is allowed, i.e.
either LAN#1 or WAN/Public port. Connect two IEEE802.3af power
sources to the system at the same time will make the device
malfunction permanently.

2.2 Startup the MAP-3100
To get the initial management of the MAP-3100, please follow the steps.
1. Connect the MAP-3100’s LAN port to an active network.
2. Connect the PC to the network as well. This PC must be configured as a DHCP client.
3. Open PC Command Prompt and type “ipconfig /all” to check DHCP Server’s IP as shown
in figure below. In this case, DHCP Server’s IP is 172.16.211.1.
4. Launch web browser and enter MAP private IP (DHCP Server’s IP), for
example,
below.
