Introduction

The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge is a two channel unlicensed (FCC Part 15) wireless device operating in the 2.4 GHz Industrial/Scientific/Instrumentation (ISM) band, providing network connections to Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) client devices.

The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge, as part of the Vivato Wi-Fi System, replaces previous micro cellular style Wi-Fi deployments, while providing the highest level of wireless security and system management.

The Wi-Fi AP/Bridge allows point-to-multipoint packet transmission to client devices through standard

2.0 dBi antennas. The integrated radio cards have a higher transmit power (200mW) than most conventional Access Points. This design allows one Wi-Fi AP/Bridge to provide high bit rate network coverage to larger spaces requiring Wi-Fi coverage.

The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge is intended solely for indoor use, but can be combined with either version of the Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station (indoor or outdoor) to provide Wi-Fi service in almost any environment.

Introduction

Powered Ethernet

The AP/Bridge can be powered over an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power and Ethernet cabling. Contact your Vivato added reseller, or view the list of accessories on the Vivato.net website, for information about various powered Ethernet solutions.

Omni-directional Antennas

The AP/Bridge is equipped with two reverse-polarity TNC antenna connectors and includes two omni-directional antennas.

Ethernet and Serial Ports

The LAN (Ethernet) port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the AP/Bridge to a 10/100 Ethernet LAN. This connection can also be used to provide power to the AP/Bridge.

The RS232 (serial) port provides console access to the management system in the AP/Bridge by connecting the supplied serial cable to a computer’s RS-232 (COM) port and running a terminal emulator program.

Reset To Factory Defaults

Pressing and holding the RESET button in for at least three seconds re-configures the AP/Bridge to use the factory default settings, and deletes the previous configuration file.

Metal Enclosure

The AP/Bridge is enclosed in a metal case which has adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in an indoor environment.

IEEE 802.11 ISM-Band Channel Operation

The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge can communicate on any two channels in the IEEE channel set (although the default channel assignment of 1 and 11 should be used for best results). Both channels can operate at the maximum data rate of up to 11 Mbps. The AP/Bridge can be configured to communicate with clients and with a Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station (using a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) connection) .

Multi-AP/Bridge Operation for Extended Coverage

Each Wi-Fi AP/Bridge contains one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port and two wireless interfaces. Multiple Wi-Fi AP/Bridges can be connected using a wired or a wireless connection to extend Wi-Fi coverage and provide maximum deployment flexibility.
