Router or a PC.

1.3 Installing the Antennas

Step 1: connector as shown in Figure 1.3.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten; finger tight is sufficient. Position the antenna

vertically for best omni-directional signal reception.

With the unit powered off, attach the dipole antenna to the antenna

Figure 1.3.

Before installing your WLAN system, we recommend that you test the Access Point using the dipole antenna included in your package. Once testing is completed, install your Access Point for use with the appropriate antenna for your application.

1.4 Installing the Console Port Cable

Step 2: Attach the Console Port cable to the Serial Port. Attach the other cable end to the Serial Port on a PC running a terminal emulation program,

and set the terminal to 15200 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit, and ANSI compatible. NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration information. After configuration is completed, this cable may be removed until additional configuration is required via the Serial Port.

1.5 Connecting the power supply and Ethernet cable

1.6 Outdoor Installation

Outdoor Access Point device can be mounted on the side of a building or mounted to an mast as shown in following:

and then plug the male end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip. The Power LED on the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up.

Step 4

Data Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the Ethernet Port on the PC we mentioned above.

NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration information. After configuration is completed, this cable will be removed, and then you should run an Ethernet cable from Data Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the LAN connection (such as a hub or concentrator).

A wall (side) mount allows for mounting the Outdoor AP on the side of a building. This will provide a convenient mounting location when the roof overhang is not excessive and/or the location is high enough to provide a clear line of sight.

Grounding

A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor installation from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. So direct grounding of the antenna mast, Outdoor AP and Surge Arrester is very important. And so mounting the Outdoor AP on the antenna mast, you have to connect the Outdoor AP 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.

Chapter 2. Network Topologies

This chapter describes several main types of installations commonly

implemented using the Outdoor Wireless Access Point (OWAP). 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

(as shown in following figuration).

The OWAP can perform in router or bridge modes. In a wireless topology, all communication between network stations is done through a centralized Access Point. To show some possibilities of wireless topologies, the following examples are provided:

Wireless Access Bridge

2.1 Wireless Access Bridge

1. Set the OWAP as a bridge (bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1).

2. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless)

3. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3: SSID (wireless).

4. Left side stations are transparent to the right side network.

5. DHCP server assigns IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.

Wireless Access Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection

Wireless Access Router with dynamic IP address Ethernet

Wireless Access Router with static IP address Ethernet

2.2 Wireless Access Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection

2.3 Wireless Access Router with dynamic IP

Ethernet connection

1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, Ethernet Interface IP is 192.168.2.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface, default route is 0.0.0.0).

2. Choose the PPPoE connection mode and specify that your personal ISP provided PPPoE Username and PPPoE Password to enable ADSL broadband access.

3. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless)

4. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.

5. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3: SSID (wireless).

1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface).

2. Enable DHCP client on the Ethernet Interface of the OWAP (This OWAP will got IP / Gateway / DNS from the DHCP server).

3. Set Wireless parameters on the OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless)

4. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.

6. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3: SSID (wireless).

2.4 Wireless Access Router with static IP Ethernet connection

1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, Ethernet Interface IP is 192.1682.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface, default route is 192.168.2.254).

2. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless)

3. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.

Chapter 3. Web Access

Web Connection

The SendFar Wireless Access Point (OWAP) supports access to the configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface (web browser). Before configuring the OWAP, 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 OWAP 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 OWAP 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.

4. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3: SSID (wireless).

Note: Running a terminal emulation program on your PC, such as

HyperTerminal, and then set the following connection properties:

z Click the Start icon > Program > Accessories >

Communication > Terminal.

z Create a new connection file, and then select a Com Port

<COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your PC> with 115200bps /

8-bits / 1-stop.

z Click the properties icon in the Tool Bar > setting > select

Emulation terminal VT100 > ok.

3. Reboot or turn on your OWAP

4. When the OWAP is powered up, the “Current Network Status” will be

displayed.

3. Enter

root in the User Name and the Password fields. And then the

web configuration user interface screen appears.

Once you identify the IP Address assigned to your OWAP, use your web browser to configure the OWAP through the HTTP Interface.

The following procedure explains how to configure each item.

1. Open your browser and enter the IP Address

2. Press ENTER and the OWAP Login screen appear.

Since each network is unique, the OWAP must be configured to operate in your network environment. Before configuring the OWAP, you need to know the role of the OWAP on your network.

The OWAP can be configured into four operation modes:

1. Wireless Access Bridge

2. Wireless Router with PPPoE Client Ethernet connection

3. Wireless Router with DHCP Client Ethernet connection

4. Wireless Router with Static IP Ethernet connection
