7. One (1) User manual CD-disc

8. One (1) wall/mast mounting kit

9. One (1) band clamp

1.4 System Requirements

Installation of the OW-2000 Outdoor Wireless Access Point/Client Bridge requires the following:

1. A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer （ PC system

requirement：better than PIII 800 or other 100% compatible equipment , OS： windows 2000/XP ） or Ethernet data device with an available

RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the Ethernet network.

2. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to

Ethernet network.

3. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.

1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)

The OW-2000 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to OW-2000 unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.

¾ This works great in areas where you may not ha ve power , like

house roof.

¾ This also allows you to place the OW-2000 unit closer to the

antenna, to make installation easier more thus reducing signal loss over antenna cabling.

¾ Ethernet signal travels well ov er CA T 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal

doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.

¾ Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

2.3 Preparing Installation

Before installing OW-2000 for outdoor application or hard-to-reach location, we recommend configuring and test all the devices first.

For configuring the OW-2000, please follow the quick steps below to power up the OW-2000. Refer to Figure 2-4 for steps 1 through 5.

Figure 2-4

Step1 : Connect the DC plug of the AC/DC power adapter into the DC Input Port of Inline Power Injector and the wall-mount plug into a

power outlet or power strip (refer to page 6). The Power LED on the Inline Power Injector will light up.

Step2 : Run the cross-over type uplink Ethernet cable from Data Input Port (refer topage 6

) to the Ethernet port on a PC.

Step3 : Connect the 30m CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the OW-2000 unit. Hand tighten the connector.

Step4 : Connect the remaining end of the 30m CA T 5 cable into the PoE labeled AP/Bridge. This is the power side of the PoE that will power up the OW-2000.

When the OW-2000 receives power over the Ethernet cable, the OW-2000 will start its boot up sequence and the Active LED on the Inline Power Injector will light up.

You can configure the OW-2000 via HTML browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC.

2.4 Basic Configuration

2.4.1 Basic Configuration Steps

This section describes a two-step BASIC configuration procedure to setup OW-2000.

Step2 : Modify the factory-default para meters on the web page “/BASIC/Wireless/”, and click Save Settings to save the changes, than click Reboot the Device to take effect on the previous configuration changes.

2.4.2 Logging into the Web Interface

The OW-2000 supports access to the configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface.

► Web Configuration

Before configuring OW-2000, the user needs to know the IP Address assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP Address

192.168.1.1 was assigned to the OW-2000 by default. To start a web connection, use http://192.168.1.1

► Web Access Procedures

Once you identify the IP Address assigned to OW-2000, use web browser to configure OW-2000 through the HTTP Interface. The following procedure explains how to configure each item.

Step1 : Open your browser and enter the IP Address Step2 : Press <ENTER> key and the OW-2000 Login screen appears as

shown in Figure 2-5.

2.4.3 Set Operating Mode, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Route IP, DNS Server IP of OW-2000

► LAN Settings These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the Access Point. The Access Point's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. This option is available in the “/BASIC/LAN/” page as shown in Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-7

► Get LAN IP From

Choose "DHCP (Dynamic)" if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP address to the AP. In this case, you do not need to fill in the following fields. Choose "Static IP (Manual)" if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the following fields.

Note that you cannot choose "DHCP (Dynamic)" if you have enabled the "DHCP Server" option on the DHCP page; the AP cannot be both a DHCP client and a DHCP server.

► IP Address

The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. For example,

192.168.0.1.

► Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the local area network.

► Gateway

The IP address of the router on the local area network.

► Local Domain Name

This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. The AP's DHCP server will give this domain name to the computers on the wireless LAN. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a wireless laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be known as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, if the AP's settings specify "DHCP (Dynamic)" Address, and the router's DHCP server assigns a domain name to the AP, that domain name will override any name you enter here.

2.4.4 Set Wireless SSID for Wireless Interface

► Wireless Network Name （Also called the SSID）

When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name. This option is available in the “/BASIC/WIRELESS/” page as shown in Figure 2-8

Figure 2-8

2.4.5 Set Wireless Encryption for Wireless Interface

The OW-2000 supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. For 64-bit WEP encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal

characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters. For 128-bit WEP encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal

characters or 13 ASCII characters. Modify the WEP encryption parameters on the web page

“/BASIC/WIRELESS/WIRELESS SECURITY MODE”. Choice “WEP” Enter 1~15 characters into the WEP Key field, than click Save Setting ，Reboot the Device.

Chapter 3. Network Topologies

This chapter describes several common types of installations implemented by using the OW-2000’s line of Outdoor Wireless System. 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 OW-2000 CB can be configured to function as a Wireless Client Router or Bridge to a central access point like the OW-2000 AP see Figure 3-1 below.

Figure 3-1

The OW-2000 CB performs in either router or bridge mode. In a

Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between network systems is done

through a centralized agent. Among the OW-2000 Outdoor Wireless Bridge

products, the centralized agent is Central Bridge (OW-2000 AP) and the individual

network notes may be Bridge (OW-2000 CB ).

To show the available Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples are

provided.

Wireless Client Bridge-to-Central Wireless Bridge

3.1 Wireless Client Bridge-to-Central Wireless Bridge

Figure 3-2

Refer to Figure 3-2 for the following setup. Note: The OW-2000 AP is the Central Wireless Bridge and OW -2000 CB

is the Wireless Client Bridge

Step 1 Set the OW-2000 AP to perform a bridge (bridge IP address:

192.168.1.1).

Step 2 Set Wireless parameters on the AP11 to: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless)

Step 3 Set the OW-2000 CB to function in the bridge mode (bridge IP address: 192.168.1.241).

Step 4 Set Wireless parameters on the OW-2000 CB to: Channel (1)

and SSID (wireless), and these parameters must be the same with COU.

Step 5 Left side subnet is transparent to the right side.

Step 6 DHCP server assign IP address to PC1 and PC2

4.1 BASIC

4.1.1 Wizard

This wizard guides you through the following basic Access Point setup steps:

 Set your Password  Select your Time Zone  Configure your Wireless Connection

WCN Wizard

If your PC's operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later and you are using Windows Internet Explorer (IE) as your browser, you can use Windows Connect Now (WCN) technology to help configure the Access Point's wireless security settings.

Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Before you can use the Access Point's WCN Wizard, you must first execute the Wireless Network Setup Wizard on your PC. If you have not already done so, go to the Windows Control Panel and select Wireless Network Setup Wizard. When the Wireless Network Setup Wizard gives you the choice to "Use a USB flash drive" or "Set up a network manually", choose the latter. (In fact, you will not have to do the set-up manually; it will be done with the WCN ActiveX Control.)

WCN ActiveX Control

The WCN ActiveX Control provides the WCN link between your PC and the Access Point via the browser that communicates wireless configuration data without a USB flash drive. The browser will attempt to download the WCN ActiveX Control, if it is not already available on your PC. F or this action to succeed, you must already have a WAN connection, and the browser's internet security setting must be Medium or lower (select Tools -> Internet Options

-> Security -> Custom Level -> Medium). When the necessary preparations are complete, the WCN

technology will propagate the wireless network settings from your PC to the Access Point. Then you will have to reboot the Access Point for the settings to take effect.

Note that WCN only sets a few of the wireless options. Y ou will still need to go to the Home -> Wireless page to set other wireless options such as Super G Mode and transmission rate.

Wireless Security Setup Wizard

This wizard guides you through the following steps for setting up security for your wireless network:

 Name your Wireless Network  Secure your Wireless Network
