1.2 Product Description

Cost-effective Wireless Solution with Superior Performance

PLANET WAP-200N/WBS-200N 300Mbps 802.11n Outdoor Wireless AP/CPE offers a better range and
excellent throughput. Via the WAP-200N's RP-SMA antenna connectors and the WBS-200N's embedded 8dBi
dual-polarity directional antenna, it is easy to build different point to multi-point applications with good diversity
coverage and better noise immunity effect, thus heightening the performance and stability of a long-distance
connectivity.

Designed for Vari ous Req ui rements

The WAP-200N/WBS-200N is dedicatedly designed for WISP solution that provides CPE users with Internet
access via the WISP provider in rural areas. Besides, it caters to various wireless communication connectivities
(AP, Client, WDS, Repeater and WISP), thus meeting users’ application requirements.

User Manual of WAP-200N/WBS-200N

Multiple SSIDs with VLAN Tagging

Multiple SSIDs can broadcast up to four wireles s netw orks with di f ferent names. For ma nagement pur pose s, the
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN supported allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the
wireless access. This makes it possible for the WAP-200N/WBS-200N to work with managed Ethernet switches
to have VLANs assigned for a different access level and authority.

Flexible and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics

The WAP-200N/WBS-200N is definitely suitable for wireless IP sur veillanc e to enabl e to have wide deployments
between buildings and to act as the backbone of public service. Additionally, its self-healing capability keeps
connection alive all the time. With the IP55-rated outdoor UV-resistant enclosure, the WAP-200N/WBS-200N
can perform normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor
environments. With the proprietary Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WAP-200N/WBS-200N can be
easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available.

Advanced Security and Rigorous Authen ti cation

The WAP-200N/WBS-200N supports 152-bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK and WP A2-PSK wireless encryptions,
the advanced WPA2-AES mechanism and 802.1X RADIUS authentication, which can effectively prevent
eavesdropping by unauthorized users or bandwid th occupied by unauthenticated wireless access. Furthermore,
any users are granted or denied access to the wireless LAN network based on the ACL (Access Control List)
that the administrator pre-established.

Easy Deployment and Management

With user-friendly Web UI and comprehensive management features including client limit control and wireless
traffic shaping, the WAP-200N/WBS-200N is easy to limit the client access and inbound/outbound bandwidth
control, even for users who have no experience in setting up a wireless network. Furthermore, with the Planet
Smart Discovery Utility, SNMP and diagnostics tools, the WAP-200N/WBS-200N is convenient to be managed

remotely.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the

equipment you are installing.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power
lines are anywhere where po ssible contact can b e made. A ntennas, mas ts,
towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact thes e li nes. Peo ple
may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment
when it contacts electric lines. Make sure th at equipment or personnel do
not come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

The horizontal distance from a t ower, mast or antenna to the nearest po wer
line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna
combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact po wer if it falls either during installati on or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

 Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment ins tall ation.

 Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.

 Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.

 If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

 If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO

MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.

 Don’t attempt to erect antennas or t owers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECUREL Y GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO
ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static

build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

 The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one or more

approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and c orrosion-resistant connectors.

 Refer to the National Electrical C ode for grounding details.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

 DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

 Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them s o they no longer are in contact wit h electrical

power.

Once they are no longer contacting e lectrical power, administer CPR if you are cert ified, and make sure that emergency
medical aid has been requested.
