Chapter 2. Network Topologies
This section describes several main types of installations commonly
implemented using the Outdoor Wireless Router/Bridge System (RB). This
is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible
configurations, but rather shows examples of some of the more common
implementations. The RB can be configured into two roles: Central
Router/Bridge (CRB) and Remote Extension Router/Bridge (RRB) to
accomplish the broadband wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint
systems (as shown in following figuration).
Both the Central RB and the Remote RB can performed in router or bridge
modes. In a Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between
network systems is done through a centralized agent. In the Outdoor

Chapter 3. Web Access
Web Connection
The Outdoor Wireless Access Router/Bridge (RB) supports access to the
configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface (web browser).
Before configuring the RB, you need to know the IP Address assigned to
the unit.
When shipped from the factory, the IP Address (192.168.2.1) was assigned
to the RB by default. To start a web connection use:
http://192.168.2.1/
Identify the IP Address assigned to the unit
However, the IP Address may be changed and you cannot connect the unit
using the default IP Address. In this case, you must identify the RB IP
Address before configuration. To identify the IP Address, you can use the
Serial Port to gain access the current network status. To start a Serial Port
connection:
1. Attach a serial data (RS-232) cable to the Serial Port Adapter.
Connect the other cable end to a terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program. Use a 9-pin female to 9-pin female NULL Modem
cable.
2. Set the terminal to 115200 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit,
and ANSI compatible.
Note: Running a terminal emulation program on your PC, such as
HyperTerminal, and then set the following connection properties:
Click the Start icon > Program > Accessories >
Communication > Terminal.
Create a new connection file, and then select a Com Port
<COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your PC> with 115200bps /
8-bits / 1-stop.

- Transmit Power. This setting determines the transmit power which can
choice 8 to 23 dB
- Channel. The factory setting is Radio Channel 1 transmitting at 2412
MHz. The channel set appears on the screen installed on your access.
Each channel covers 22 MHz. The bandwidth for channels 1, 6, and 11
does not
overlap, so you can set up multiple access point in the same vicinity
without causing interference.
- RTS Threshold. This setting determines the packet size at which the
bridge issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low
RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices
are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients are far
apart and can detect only the bridge and not each other. Enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes.
- Frag Threshold. This setting determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Enter a setting
ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes. Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference.
- SSID. The Service Set ID (SSID) can be any alphanumeric, case-
sensitive entry from two to 32 characters long. This string functions as a
password to joint the radio network.
- Hide SSID. You use this setting to choose whether devices that do not
specify an SSID are allowed to associate with the access point. With Yes
selected, the SSID used by other devices must match exactly the AP’s
SSID.
- Deny Any. You use this setting to choose whether devices that specify
the well define SSID keyword ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ are allowed to associate
with the access point. With Yes selected, the SSID ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ used by
other devices are not allowed to associate with the access point
- Station Name. Enter any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry.
- WEP Key. Enter 1~15 characters for 64 and 128 bits WEP KEY
encryption, and then click KeyGen to generate the WEP64 & WEP128
key patterns.
- WEP. Disable or enable 64/128 bit WEP services.
- Default Key. Select an encryption key from the pull down menu.
- WEP64 Key1~4 & WEP128 Key1~4. The keys in these fields can be
generated automatically by KeyGen function. For 40-bit encryption, enter
10 hexadecimal digits; for 128-bit encryption, enter 26 hexadecimal digits.
Hexadecimal digits include the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A
through F. Your 40-bit WEP keys can contain any combination of 10
of these characters; your 128-bit WEP keys can contain any combination of
26 of these characters. The letters are not case-sensitive.

Chapter 8. Regulatory Compliance Information
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Canada RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna of transmitter.
Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radio, computers, or other electronic devices. To
minimize or prevent such interference, this equipment should not be placed
or operated near these devices. If interference is experienced, moving the
equipment away from them will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Professional Installation
Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain
directional antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as
a point-to-point system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP,
require professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and
the end user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-topoint system.
Systems operating as a point-to-multipoint system or use non directional
antennas cannot exceed +30dBm EIRP power requirement under any
circumstances and do not require professional installation.
Information to User
The user manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional
radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
