2.1 Before You Start
After unpacking the system, make sure the following items are present and
in good condition.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The SF-3000 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The Inline
Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to SF-3000 unit via a
signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve the
performance vs. installation cost ratio.
1. This works great in areas where you may not have power
and/or Ethernet easily accessible, like house roof.
2. This also allows you to place the SF-3000 unit closer to the
antenna, more easily thus reducing signal loss over antenna
cabling.
3. Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz
signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
4. Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

The following gives more info about the parameters set in the Wireless LAN
information page to users.
Step 1 Select “/General Config/Wireless” and the Wireless LAN
information page appears as the figure shown below.
Step 2 In the Wireless LAN information page, set the following parameters
suitable for your radio network.
9 Channel (default parameter: 1)
9 rts Threshold (default parameter: 1600)
9 frag Threshold (default parameter: 1600)
9 SSID (default parameter: wireless)
9 Station Name (default parameter: ap)
rts Threshold
The setting determines the packet size, ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes, 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.
frag Threshold
The setting determines the size, ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes, at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
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)
from 2 to 32 characters long. This string functions as a password to join the
radio network.
can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry
Hide SSID
Use this setting to decide whether devices that do not specify an SSID are
allowed to associate with the access point or not. With “Yes” selected, the
SSID used by other devices must match exactly the AP’s SSID.
Deny Any
Use this setting to decide whether devices that specify the well define
SSID keyword ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ are allowed to associate with the access
point or not. With “Yes” selected, the SSID ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ used by other
devices are not allowed to associate with the access point
