provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following

measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment is with high temperature and voltage, so only the professional

the W140A.

2.1 Preface

The W140A outdoor AP/bridge of ZXR10 WAS (V1.0) IP wireless access system is

developed by ZTE and its design totally complies with the international standards.

The W140A uses customized antennas on the roof or a special pole for wide coverage,

enabling wireless cellular roaming in a large area.

2.2 Functions and Features

W140A complies with IEEE 802.11b Standard and is compatible with wireless network

adapters and APs complying with this standard. The features of the W140A are as

follows:

● The maximum access rate is 11 Mbps. At most 100 Stations can be accessed.

● The radio transmission power can be adjusted up to 200 mW.

● Transparent bridge connection provides packet transfer between Basic Service

Set (BSS) and Distributed System (DS). The maximum transfer rate is not less

than 10 Mbps.

● The load balance adopts the access balance with multiple APs in the same area

provided by the internal protocol.

● It provides seamless roaming to enable users to access network easily.

● It provides link integrity function, thus enhancing equipment reliability.

● ESSID provides network authentication to prevent illegal users from accessing

the network.

● Static MAC filtration can filter MAC addresses set by users. Up to 100 filtration

groups can be set and each of them can be set with 64 MAC address filtration

rules.

2-1

ZXR10 WAS (V1.0) W140A Outdoor Wireless Access Point / Bridge User’s Manual

● It provides data authentication and security management, supports 64-bit and

128-bit WEP encryption, provides mixed encryption for more flexible security.

● Automatic consistent correction system provides Automatic Scale Back

Functionality (ASBF) to automatically correct WLAN to the best connection

quality.

● High interoperability: the uplink interface is 10/100M adaptive Ethernet

interface, which can be connected through a network cable to the 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet in compliance with IEEE 802.3 network protocol.

● The uplink Ethernet interface provides VLAN trunk function, wireless access

users can be grouped into VLAN through MAC addresses, and W140As can be

grouped under the management VLAN.

● The version upgrade function upgrades the W140A software version and

supports remote online version loading.

● The embedded SNMP Agent supports SNMP v1/v2 to implement MIB II,

IEEE802dot11-MIB, IF-MIB, EtherLike-MIB and private MIB.

● Command line and WEB configuration modes are available for W140A

configuration, supporting remote uploading and downloading of configuration

files.

● Integrated management server is provided to monitor and manage ZTE wireless

network equipment, including W140A, in the distributed environment.

● The reliability design complies with IEC 60529 Standard, waterproof

performance reaches level 8, and dustproof performance reaches level 6.

● There is a dedicated lightning protection board the input terminal. For the

Ethernet part, the lightning strike surge tolerance is 2 kV between line and

ground and 1 kV between line and line. For the power supply part, the surge

tolerance should be 4 kV between line and ground and 2 kV between line and

line.

3. Implementing bridge function

If two areas are far from each other or there are some obstacles between them,

W140A can be used for bridging. as shown Fig. 3.3-3, the two W140As work in

Bridge Server and Bridge Client modes respectively to provide a wireless bridge

between LAN1 and LAN2. The bandwidth of the bridge is decided by the

Bridge server. The Bridge Server may serve several Bridge Clients at the same

time. Considering the performance of wireless connection, Bridge server had

better not serve more than four Bridge clients.
