The WAP-7000 starts a new era for wireless building-to-building solution by providing high performance
in 5GHz frequency. With 802.11a compliance, the WAP-7000 can avoid the interferences from other
802.11b/g devices and contributes the 54Mbps data rate. It is suited for enterprises, campus or off-site
locations to extend existing wired network coverage.
The special designed housing allows WAP-7000 to be installed in exposed locations under the rigorous
weather conditions including heavy rain, wind, and snow. Moreover, the WAP-7000 has built in the
lightning protector for further protection. Provided with web-based interface, WAP-7000 is easy to be
installed and managed. The POE (Power Over Ethernet) design reduces power cables installation cost
and offers more flexibility when selecting the location of WAP-7000.

1.4 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of
WAP-7000.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate WAP-7000 away from transformers, microwave ovens,
heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipments.

2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is
unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the
exact operating range of WAP-7000 in a specific location without testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used on
WAP-7000. When you use directional antennas to communicate between two bridges, you must
manually align the antennas for proper bridge operation. Directional antennas have greatly reduced
radiation angles. The radiation angle is approximately 25 to 30 degrees. You can use the
link-testing tool to help measure the alignment of two antennas.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the
WAP-7000.
1. Locate an optimum location for the WAP-7000.
2. Assemble the 5GHz antenna to WAP-7000. 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 an antenna, 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 body.
Please, follow carefully the instructions with your antenna.
Keep antennas away from metal objects/obstructions (heating and air-conditioning ducts,
large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs).
Use a directional antenna when you establish a link between two buildings. A directional
antenna must be properly aligned to the point at the other antenna.
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 should be mounted at a sufficient height to prevent the radio path from
above the obstructions such as trees and buildings.
Antenna towers should keep a safe distance from overhead power lines. The recommended
safe distance is twice the tower height.
To prevent water from entering into the antenna cable and be sure to seal all external cable
connectors using commercial products just like coax compatible electrical tape and
Coax-Seal.
3. Using provided CAT5 waterproof cable; connect the waterproof connector port of the WAP-7000
to the ODU port of DC Injector.
4. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the RJ-45 port of DC Injector to a 10Mbps
or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the management station to a hub or switch on
the same LAN.
5. Connect the output cord of power adapter to the DC Injector’s DC input jack, and plug it into an AC
outlet to power up the WAP-7000.
6. Use a grounding wire to connect WAP-7000 to the same grounding system with the AC wall outlet.
The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and safety standards that
apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
