Introduction
CAP300-Outdoor:
Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium
business. They can either work independently in FAT mode or be centrally managed by
the wireless controller in FIT mode, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily-
configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.

Working Mode
CAPs support two working modes including FIT mode and FAT mode. In FIT mode, APs
can be centrally managed by TP-Link’s wireless controller. The default FIT mode is used
when you want to deploy a large wireless network. The management of every single AP
in the network is complex and complicated. With the wireless controller, you can
centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.
In FAT mode, you can log in to AP’s webpage to manage the AP alone. The FAT mode is
used in a small wireless network. The AP cannot be managed by wireless controller in
FAT mode.
FIT Mode
In the default FIT mode, CAP should be managed by the wireless controller. Please refer
to the Wireless Controller User Guide from our website at www.tp-link.com to learn
more information about configuring and using the CAPs by the controller.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a communication system among multiple wireless
local area networks established between APs through wireless connection. In this

system, only data frames with four address fields can be transparently forwarded at the
link layer. In a WDS network, it is necessary that the root AP supports forwarding of data
frames four address fields. If not, only data frames with the ARP/IP/PPPOE protocol can
be forwarded among APs.

any one of these modes can access your wireless network.
Channel
Bandwidth:
Select the channel bandwidth of this device including 20MHz and 40MHz.
The default setting is Auto, which will select the
automatically according to the network need.
According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can
increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower
bandwidth due to the following reasons:
1. To increase the available number of channels within the limited total
bandwidth.
2. To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
devices in the environment.
3. Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing
stability of wireless links over long distances.
Channel: This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to Auto
automatically. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless
you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
Transmit
Power:
You can use the slider or manually enter the transmit power value. The
maximum transmit power may vary among different countries or regions.
SSID Isolation: With this option enabled, the hosts connected to different wireless
networks cannot communicate with each other.
Beacon
Interval:
Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the
presence of a wireless network for the clients.
Enter a time interval between 40 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine
the duration between beacon packets that are transmitted periodically by
the device to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100
milliseconds.

Manage VLAN provides a safer way for you to manage the CAPs.
With it enabled, only the hosts in the manage VLAN can log in to the

Ping Watch Dog
Ping Watch Dog sets the device to continuously ping a user-defined IP address (it can
be the Internet gateway, for example) to check the network connectivity. If there is a
connection failure then the device will automatically reboot.
Ping Watch Dog is dedicated to continuously monitoring the connectivity to a specific
host using the Ping tool. The Ping tool sends ICMP echo request packets to the target
host and listens for ICMP echo response. If the defined number of replies is not received,
