the WAP-500N/WBS-500N's RP-SMA antenna connectors, 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 Various Requirements

The WAP-500N/WBS-500N

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

connectivity

, thus meeting users’

application requirements.

Multiple SSIDs with VLAN Tagging

Multiple SSIDs can broadcast up to four wireless networks with different names. For management purposes, the
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN supported allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the

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 possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers,
guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be
injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it
contacts electric lines. Make sure that equipment or personnel do not come in
contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

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

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



Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.



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 towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY 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 corrosion-resistant connectors.



Refer to the National Electrical Code 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 so they no longer are in contact with electrical
power.

Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency
medical aid has been requested.

!

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AP within minutes.

A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless AP is required for the first-

time

configuration.

3.1 Manual Network Setup -- TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the WBS-500N and WAP-500N is 192.168.1.253. And the default Subnet Mask is

255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for
description.

Connect the WBS-500N or WAP-500N with your PC via an Ethernet cable which is then plugged into a LAN port
of the PoE injector with one end and into a LAN port of the PC with the other end. Then power on the WBS-500N
and WAP-500N via PoE injector or PoE switch.

In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows 7. And the
procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet adapter is working, and refer
to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if needed.

3.1.1 Configuring the IP Address Manually

Summary:

 Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.

 Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number from 2 to

252); subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
