1 Product Overview

Thank you for using SMAC5800. It is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with functions Outdoor Base and Outdoor Subscriber.

SMAC5800 uses the latest wireless technology 802.11n standard. It has faster transmit/receive wireless speed. SMAC5800 gives you a great advantage to save your time and cost to expend your network. It is also compatible with 802.11a.

SMAC5800 is easily to install almost anywhere with Power over Ethernet for quick indoor installation and regular Power by Adapter. SMAC5800 can manage power level control, Narrow bandwidth selection, Traffic shaping and Real-time RSSI indicator. SMAC5800 is fully support of security encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK), 128 bit - AES Encryption and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.

1.1 Feature

The following list describes the design of the SMAC5800 made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

a) Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

b) Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disasterrecovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.

c) The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.

d) Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the workplace.

e) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead

SMAC User Manual

2 Computer Configuration Instruction

The default operating mode is Outdoor Base for AP hardware and Outdoor Subscriber for SU hardware. Device will not assign an IP address to the computer/notebook. Therefore, follow the steps to assign an IP address to your Ethernet card.

2.1 Assign a Static IP

In order to configure SMAC5800, please follow the instruction below:

1. In the Control Panel, double click Network Connections and then double click on the connection of your Network Interface Card (NIC). You will then see the following screen.

2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on the Properties button. This will allow you to configure the TCP/IP settings of your PC/Notebook

4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and then close LAN properties window.

SMAC User Manual

IP Address entered in the TCP/IP Properties needs to be at the same subnet of the SMAC5800 IP Address. For example: SMAC5800’s default IP Address is 192.168.1.1 so the IP Address in the TCP/IP settings could be 192.168.1.10.

2.2 Logging Method

After complete the IP settings from last section, you can now access the web-based configuration menu.

1. Open web browser
