Hardware Installation
Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the IA. You can mount to a pipe. The steps are showed in the followingΚ
1. You must mount the IA into the bracket first.
2. After checking the IA is mounted well, you can connect the RJ-45 network
cable to Ethernet port of IA. The steps are showing as below:
3. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 network cable to “P+ DATA OUT” port of
PoE device. The PoE device is guaranteed only in indoor environment.
Caution: DON’T plug the power cord into PoE device before you finish install
the antenna and Ground wire to ensure the safety.
7
Make sure the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is shorter than 100M (about
109 yards) for normal operation under IEEE 802.3 standards.
When you plug the regular RJ-45 cable into the PoE device, you should use
the regular RJ-45 cable to plug into the “DATA IN” of “Power Over Ethernet Kit”
to connect to hub/switch or use the crosslink RJ-45 cable (Not included in the
Packing List) to connect with user’s PC.
The RJ-45 network cable must be connected to the “P+DATA OUT” port.
Caution: Be careful! Don’t plug the two cables inversely. It will damage the
devices! And you have to use our PoE (included in the packing list) to
guarantee that power supply is normal.
We recommend you refer to the following illustration as a guideline for
hardware installation.

Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser,
and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is
192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge
mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the device by both WLAN
(Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes,
the device can be accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP
addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN),
so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet
as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN).
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment,
otherwise it will cause abnormal situation.
We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is for finding out the IP of the
device. In case, you’ve forgot the IP of the device or the IP of the device has
been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even your
PC is not in the same subnet as the device is.
Knowing the Network Application
The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) function.
Access Point
WDS (Wireless Repeater)
Bridge/Router
WISP
AP Client
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of
device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the
9
communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless
NIC, the following is the types of operation mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem
and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed
between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP
address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN
port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default
WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP
requirement.
Bridge
The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is
selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the
same public IP address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired
Ethernet port of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless
radio to be client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP then you can
configure the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless
clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you
can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device
becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can
connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting
with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to
another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless
clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the
WDS connection.
10
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS
connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the
device.
The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and
wireless radio modes.

192.168.2.x
This example demonstrates how to set up a network with different device
configurations. There are 2 DHCP servers (DEV1/DEV4) in the network to
control the IP configuration of 2 domains (192.168.2.x/192.168.3.x). Once
the setting is done, all the PCs can visit Internet through DEV1.
We assume all the devices keep the factory default setting. To make sure
that user can continuing press the rest button for more than 5 seconds to
restore the factory default setting.
