Step 1: Install the Cable Feed thru with the rubber washer on the
outside of the unit. The cable feedthru is designed for sealing outdoor
rated CAT5 cable. Other cables can be used, just check for good seal.
The feedthru accepts an assembled RJ45 connector. Be sure to slip
the loose cylindrical rubber seal over the RJ45 before slipping the
RJ45 thru the feedthru.
Step 2: Install cable assembly to the SMA female connector. Install
electronics equipment. There are 4 8-32 standoffs installed inside
unit, these can be used for attaching a radio or amplifier inside the
unit. The user should supply a mounting plate to attach to the
standoffs. The standoffs are on 6.45inch (164mm) center to center
spacing
Step 3: The backpanel comes with an integral gasket attached.
Attach the b ackpanel with screws. Tighten all the scr ews lightly, then
perform final tightening in a criss-cross pattern so that all screws are
tightened evenly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, only light pressure is
required to create a seal. NOTE: The back panel can only be
installed in one orientation. Ho rizontal or Vertical polarization and
uptilt or downtilt is determined by the mounting of the RT to the
bracket.
Step 4: Decide if installation will be Vertically Polarized (VPOL)
or Horizontally Polarized (HPOL). The antenna is vertically
polarized when the cable feedthru is in the lower left corner.
Likewise the antenna is horizontally polarized when the cable
feedthru is in the lower right corner. (as viewed from the back of the
antenna). NOTE: The antenna must always be oriented so that the
cable feedthru is on the bottom to avoid any moisture buildup within
the compartment.

included pole clamps and U-bolts. When attaching to a pole
always makes sure the pole clamp is between the enclosure
and the pole as shown in the picture. This prevents stress
on the flange which could lead to cracking.
Note:
• Security screws, such as torx head screws, can be used
if it’s desired that the cover be removed only by qualifie d
personnel.
• Grounding is normally accomplished thru the po le
attach. If wall mounting, the installer should make sure
there is a ground wire running from one of the lag bolts
to an earth ground. Some paint may need to be scraped
from the flange area to affect a strong ground.
• Any feedthru connections like bulkhead connectors or
RJ45 feedthru should be gasketed so that they are

Installation
• The RJ45 Field Installable Feedthru system is used to
waterproof cable entries into outdoor enclosures to IP68
waterproofing standards. The material is UV stabilized for
long term outdoor applications.
• The unique design is “Field Installable” because it
accepts a fully pre-assembled Ethernet cable connector.
There is no need to terminate the cable during
installation. This gives the installer flexibility to use
standard pre-assembled Ethernet cables.
• The Feedthru can be pre-installed into an outdoor
enclosure such as a WAP-192 or a CAP-1920 Integrated
Antenna.
• The RJ45 Field Installable Feedthru allows for assembly
or disassembly of the Ethernet cable which gives the
installers the ability to change out the entire enclosure

• Loosen and remove the Comp ression Nut
• Remove the Co mpression Gasket Assembly
from the Feedthru Body.
• Slide the RJ45 connector out of the enclosure
thru the Feedthru Body.
• If needed, the Ethernet cable can be removed
from the Compression Gasket Assembly but this
isn’t recommended because of possible damage
to the Compression Gasket Inser t.
• To Remove the Ethernet cable from the
Compression Gasket Assembly, first remove the
Compression Gasket Insert and then slide the
RJ45 Connec tor thru the Compression Gasket
Assembly, then slide the Compression Gasket
Insert and the Compression Nut over the RJ45
connector body.
• Inspect the Compression Gasket Insert for
damage before reuse.

Power over Ethernet Unit
Plug the other end of the waterproof RJ-45 cable to the 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. If you are using WAP (Access Point)
then make sure that you connect to external antenna before power up device.
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 802.3 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 waterproof RJ-45 cable must be connected to the ‘P+DATA OUT’
port.
Caution: Don’t plug the two cables inversely. It will damage the devices
We recommend you refer to the following illustration as a guideline for hardware
installation.

Introduction
WiBorne has developed deployments that maximizes up time reliability, while
minimizing the constraints on actual data throughput. The WiBorne solution focuses the
fail-safe functions at the most important element of the network, the backbone.
Maintaining a robust, hi-speed and redundant backbone is the most critical aspect of the
network. The result is that device provides system performance and reliability well
beyond that of competing technologies.
Overview
WiBorne's device wireless backbone radios are available in 900MHz, 2.4, 3.65, 4.9, and 5
GHz frequency bands. Each device micro cell base station includes an environmentally
controlled enclosure with thermostat controlled heater and fan, nine port router, and can
support up to six additional Ethernet devices (cameras, access points, etc.). Device is also
designed to support Pre-802.11n radio with software upgradeable to 802.11n, PreWiMAX radio (3.65GHz), and 802.11 a/b/g for WiFi hotspots. This highly flexible and
scalable system is built to grow with the needs of any network. Like all WiBorne
equipments, device is designed for easy installation and maintenance.
The device node box provides an innovative and easy method to create a self-healing hispeed backbone ring for reliable delivery of wireless broadband connectivity. The device
21
system is ideal for high-capacity metro backhaul, broadband access, systems bandwidth
injection, WiMAX systems, VOIP traffic and IP-based video surveillance.
The device is an outdoor NEMA rated box that houses a customized firmware. The router
provides OSPF functionality on the routed ports that connect to two WiBorne Point to
Point wireless backhaul radios which results in a layer 3 self-healing wireless networks.
The devices can also act as base radio or CPE for Point-to-Multiple-Points (P2MP). The
other three internal Ethernet (PoE) ports can be used in conjunction with any WiBorne
Access Point to provide wireless connections in a P2MP format. Each one of these
Ethernet (PoE) ports connects to an individual port on the router. This results in a unique
broadcast domain for each Access Point yielding higher performance at each cell. The
router board also connects to one or multiple MiniPCI radios wireless board that
functions as a WiFi Access Point. This device uses either an integrated panel antenna or
external sector / omni antenna to provide a hotspot solution. The other internal Ethernet
ports on the router can be used with any Ethernet or IP devices and can be configured as
bridge ports or router ports, for meeting different application requirements. It even can
connect with a daughter for additional radio modules. The device box is powered by 110240 V olts AC, 24 or 48 VDC, and is design to operate in temperatures between -40º C to
60º C.

Getting Started
It is always a good idea to first provision and test the equipment on the bench before
deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user.
Management
The device can be configured using a Command Line Interface (CLI) from
HyperTerminal or console windows, Web Browser (HTTP) interface, or Winbox (GUI)
interface. Although all methods are comprehensive and powerful, the CLI method
provides more functionality
Password
The device unit is pre-configured with the following default account (admin) and
password. This user name and password will allow you to gain access through CLI, FTP,
HTTP, or W inbox.
Note: The password will default to a blank password if the unit is set to factory defaults.
The user name will still be admin.
Change admin' s pas s word
Just select the Password menu within the winbox GUI, for example:
Or, type the following command in the CLI:
[admin@WAP-520] > / password
old password:
new password: ******
retype new password: ******
This will change your current admin's password to what you have entered twice. Make
sure you remember the password! If you forget it, there is no recovery. You need to
reinstall firmware of the WAP-520!
23
Interfaces
We have three levels of interface, Web based, Windows based, and command line
interface through telnet or ssh remotely
• Web Based Interface: This is a web based configuration interface for wireless
firmware. Log in above to connect to this router - some of the most important
firmware features can be controlled within this interface. This is easy interface for
purpose of setting and routine maintain. We are improving W eb based GUI
gradually.
• Windows Based Interface: is the graphical configuration application for firmware.
Run it and connect to your WAP - all firmware functionality can be controlled with
this application.
• Command Line Interface (CLI): rem ot el y connect with telnet or ssh and you will
have access to the CLI of firmware, every function of firmware can be controlled with
it. This is particular useful for batch job to modify all sites remotely without much of
interface by human.
Web Based (Browser) Interface
The device features a convenient and easy-to-use web based configuration and
management tool. No additional software is needed on your computer other than a web
browser. The browser interface offers limited and basic functions, although the majority
can only be performed through command line interface (CLI).
To use the browser interface, the following must be present:
• An Ethernet (wired or wireless) connection between a PC and the device unit.
• Ethernet PC connection with IP/subnet that is routable to the device unit.
• A web browser on the PC (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer)
In order to use the browser interface – simply connect the device unit to a PC and type
the device’s IP address into the web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer). This will
bring up the Login page.
Browser Interface Login Screen
The first page of the web browser is called the configuration page. The configuration
page offers the following options.
• Downloading Winbox
• Displaying Graphs
• Telnet into the device
• Documentation & License Information
Winbox can be downloaded from the router itself under the configuration page of the web
24
browser. The top left side of the configuration page offers a link to download the Winbox
application. The application can also be downloaded from website or associated CD.
Type the username (default: admin) and password (default wiborne [or blank if factory
reset]) and continue. This will bring up the router’s Interface page (Webbox)
You would see following menu for Quick Setup:
By clicking Advanced, it then goes to next menu.
Primary Features and Pages of the Browser Interface (Webbox)
25
Navigation Column: Each page features a navigation column that runs along the lefthand side of the page. On the bottom of the navigation column is the current status of
the router including its System ID, IP address, Time, Date, CPU Utilization, Uptime, Disk
Space Free, Disk Space Total, Memory Free, Memory Total, Rx, Tx, AP, Clients, and

WebFig (Web Browser) Interface
WebFig is a web based WAP/CAP configuration utility available from OS V5.0. It is
accessible directly from the router and no additional software is required (except web
27
browser with JavaScript, of course).
As WebFig is platform independent, it can be used to configure router directly from
various mobile devices without need of software developed for specific platform.
WebFig is designed as an alternative of Winbox as shown on below. Both have similar
layouts and both have access to almost any feature of WAP/CAP.
Connecting to WAP/CAP
WebFig can be launched from the home page which is accessible by entering routers IP
address in the browser. For example, if you define IP address to be 10.1.1.31, then you
can access WebFig by entering http://10.1.1.31/webfig:
Default Login is ‘admin’ (without quote), and blank Password
Inter face Overvi ew
WebFig interface is designed to be very intuitive especially for WinBox users. It has very
similar layout: menu bar on the left side, undo/redo at the top and work are at the rest of
available space.
28
When clicking on such menu item, sub-menus will be listed and the arrow will be
Menu bar has almost the same design as WinBox menu bar. Little arrow on the right side
of the menu item indicates that this menu has several sub-menus.
pointing down, indicating that sub-menus are listed.
At the top you can see three common buttons Undo/Redo buttons similar to winbox
and one additional button Log Out. In the top right corner, you can see WebFig logo
and WAP/CAP model name.
Work area has tab design, where you can switch between several configuration tabs,
for example in screenshot there are listed all tabs available in Interface menu
(Interface, Ethernet, EoIP Tunnel, IP Tunnel,…).
Below the tabs are listed buttons for all menu specific commands, for example Add
New and Settings
The last part is table of all menu items. First column of an item has item specific
command buttons:
• - enable current item
Item configuration
When clicking on one of the listed items, webfig will open new page showing all
configurable parameters, item specific commands and status.
29
On the top you can see item type and item name. In example screenshot you can see that
item is an interface with name bridge1
There are also item specific command buttons (Ok, Cancel, Apply, Remove and Torch).
These can vary between different items. For example Torch is available only for
interfaces.
Common Item buttons:
• Ok - apply changes to parameters and exit;
• Cancel - exit and do not apply changes;
• Apply - apply changes and stay on current page;
• Remove - remove current item.
Status bar similar to winbox shows current status of item specific flags (e.g running flag).
Grey-ed out flag means that it is not active. In example screenshot you can see that
running is in solid black and slave is gre y-ed, which means that interface is running and
is not a slave interface.
List of properties is divided in several sections, for example "General", "STP", "Status",
"Traffic". In winbox these sections are located in separate tabs, but WebFig lists them all
in one page specifying section name. In screenshot you can see "General" section. Greyed out properties means that they are read-only and configuration is not possible.
30
Skins
Webfig skins is handy tool to make interface more user friendly. It is not a security tool.
If user has sufficient rights it is possible to access hidden features by other means.
Designing skins
If user has sufficient permissions (group has policy edit permissions) Design Skin button
becomes available. Pressing that toggle button will open interface editing options.
Possible operations are:
• Hide menu - this will hide all items from menu and its submenus;
• Hide submenu - only certain submenu will be hidden
• Hide tabs - if submenu details have several tabs, it is possible to hide them this
way;
• Rename menus, items - make some certain features more obvious or translate
them into your launguage;
• Add note to to item (in detail view) - to add comments on filed;
• Make item read-only (in detail view) - for user safety very sensitive fields can be
made read only
• Hide flags (in detail view) - while it is only possible to hide flag in detail view,
this flag will not be visible in list view and in detailed view;
• Add limits for field - (in detail view) where it is list of times that are comma or
newline separated list of allowed values:
o number interval '..' example: 1..10 will allow values from 1 to 10 for fiels
with numbers, example, MTU size.
o field prefix (Text fields, MAC address, set fields, combo-boxes). If it is
required to limit prefix length $ should be added to the end, for example,
limiting wireless interface to "station" only will contain
• Add Tab - will add grey ribbon with editable label that will separate the fields.
Ribbon will be added before field it is added to;
• Add Separator - will add low height horizontal separator before the field it is
added to.
Note:
• Number interval cannot be set to extend limitations set by OS for that field
• Set fields are argument that consist of set of check-boxes, for example, setting up
policies for user groups, RADIUS "Service"
• Limitations set for combo-boxes will values selectable from dropdown
