1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This document provides information and procedures on hardware installation,
setup and management of the IEEE 802.11ag AP Bridge.

1.2 Overview

Access Point with Rugged Housing for Application

OA200 Wireless11ag AP Bridge provides quality connectivity for
Wi-Fi networks. This device is ideal for rugged environments and
application.

Multiple Operating Modes

OA200 Wireless11ag AP Bridge provides 3 operating modes. There are
AP, AP Repeater and Wireless Client. When it is set to AP mode, it connects
wireless clients to a wired network. In AP Repeater mode, it can extend the
communication distance of wireless connection. Finally, in Wireless Wireless
client mode, AP auto scan for specific AP (remote AP's SSID), then set up
connection to it as a client.

Wi-Fi Compliant Device
OA200 is Wi-Fi compliant device which ensures the network compatibility.

High Performance for Wireless Coverage
OA200 designs to support large areas. This unit is built-in high power RF

module.

Installation
OA200 is very easy to install and set up. Power over Ethernet support offers

the power for this unit and decreases most effort on installation.

2. Operating Mode

OA200 provides 3 kinds of operating mode for application.

AP mode
AP Repeater mode
WDS mode

2.1 AP mode

In AP mode, it can connect multiple wireless clients to a wired network.

2.2 AP Repeater mode

AP Repeater mode allows OA200 to communicate with other 802.11ag APs
while functioning in AP mode, and to extend your Wireless Network coverage.

It is set by SSID

2.3 WDS mode

In this mode, it allows wireless connection between two or more wired and
wireless networks, such as two networks with the same sub-network in
different buildings. For building-to-building wireless connection, each building
should implement one OA200 as WDS. In this case, the OA200 can act as a
wireless bridge between the two wired and wireless networks. Please fill in
remote AP’s MAC address in “WDS links” space.

2.4 Wireless Client mode

AP auto scan for specific AP (remote AP's SSID), then set up connection to it as
a client.
