two cables: the Waterproof RJ-45 network cable to “P+ DATA OUT” port of ODU
and the RF cable to antenna port. Additional waterproof tool, such as
waterproof tape, is recommended to use to enhance the waterproof function.
It is suggested to have a lightening protector between antenna and antenna
port. Connecting the ground wire as the figure of “ODU ground wire
connection.”
4. Plug the other end of the waterproof RJ-45 cable to the PoE device. The
PoE device is guaranteed only in indoor environment.
If the RJ-45 cable’s length is not long enough to connect to your
network
device for indoor parts installation, you can extend the cable length.
However, make sure the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is shorter
than
100M (about 109 yards) for normal operation under IEEE 802.3ʳstandards.
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 waterproof RJ-45 cable must be connected to the “P+DATA OUT” port.

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
OUTDOOR AP can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) function.
ɿ Access Point
ɿ ʳʳʳWDS (Wireless Repeater)
ɿ Bridge/Router
ɿ WISP
ɿ 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
communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless
NIC, the following is theʳtypes of operation mode.

Router
Bridge
WISP (Wireless ISP)
AP (Access Point
AP Client
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
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.
The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode
is selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the
same public IP address form 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.
)
he wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless
clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
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.
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.
9
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS
connections butʳalso the wireless clients can survey and connect to the
device.
The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and
wireless radio modes.

AP V V X
WDS V V X
Client V X V
AP+WDS V V X
Hereafter are some topologies of network application for your reference.

Examples of Configuration
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.
The following descriptions show the steps to configure DEV1 to DEV5.
