= The maximum access rate is 108 Mbps. At most 100 Stations can be accessed.

= MAC layer bridge connection function: 802.3 frame from Ethernet can be

received and be converted into 802.11 frame, and then be transmitted to the
wireless transceiver; or 802.11 frame from the wireless transceiver can be
received and be converted into 802.3 frames, and then be transmitted to
Ethernet.

= Transparent bridge connection provides packet transfer between Basic Service

Set (BSS) and Distributed System (DS). The maximum transmitting rate is not
less than 20 Mbps.

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

provided by the internal protocol.

3 Structure and Principle

This chapter introduces W800A structure and principle: hardware structure, working
principle, interfaces, indicators and networking mode.

3.1 Structure and Working Principle

W800A appearance is shown in Fig. 3.1-1.

Fig. 3.1-1 W800A Appearance

The hardware of W800A comprises the main body, antenna and external power adapter.

The software of W800A comprises the basic service subsystem and network
management subsystem.

= The basic service subsystem consists of these items: 802.11a/b/g AP driving,

802.3 Ethernet driving, transparent bridge connection, load balance, TCP/IP
protocol stack, dynamic address distribution, static MAC address filtration, SSH,
QoS control and VLAN.

= The network management subsystem consists of these items: SNMP Agent,

command line configuration module (Telnet configuration and serial interface
configuration), WEB page configuration module.

The main board of W800A has two MiniPci wireless network card slots, one or both of
them can be used as required. Through software mode, different MiniPci wireless

network cards can be set as different working modes: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and

802.11b/g. So, W800A can satisfy 5 GHz based on 802.11a standard or 2.4 GHz single
frequency wireless access function based on 802.11 b/g standard, to provide 54 Mbps
access capacity, and it can also satisfy 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz double frequency wireless
access functions based on 802.11 a/b/g, to provide 2 × 54 Mbps access capacity.

The configuration mode of the W800A wireless network card is shown in Table 3.1-1.

access, with the maximum capacity of 54Mbps.

802.11a standard single frequency wireless
access, with the maximum capacity of 54Mbps.

802.11 b/g standard single frequency wireless
access, with the maximum capacity of 2 ×
54Mbps.

802.11 a/b/g standard double frequency wireless
access, with the maximum capacity of 2 ×
54Mbps.

802.11a standard single frequency wireless
access, with the maximum capacity of 2 ×
54Mbps.

Considering the interference owing to close distance between two network cards in one
AP , it is not recommended that two network cards are configured with the same
frequency mode, when two network cards are used.

3.2 Units/Components

3.2.1 Front Panel

There are three LED indicators on the front panel of the W800A, indicating the
equipment status. The meanings of LED indicators are shown in Table 3.2-1.

Indicators Descriptions

Power It is W800A power indicator. On: Indicating that the power supply is on.

RUN During normal operation, the RUN indicator flashes slowly once per second.

ACT

3.2.2 Rear Control Panel

There are many interfaces and indicators on the rear control panel of W800A, as shown
in Fig. 3.2-1.

Chapter 3 Structure and Principle

Table 3.2-1 Description of Indicators on W800A Panel

It is the wireless network status indicator. When W800A wireless interface works
normally, this indicator is always on.

Status indicators

The indicators and interfaces on the rear control panel are described as follows:

1. 12V DC (Power supply jack)

Connecting the power adapter.

Note:

Only the accessory power adapter can be used. Never use other power adapters,
otherwise, equipment may be damaged.

2. DEFSET (Default button)

This button serves to reset the W800A and recover the ex-factory default
parameter configuration.

3. Status indicator

10M: ON indicates that Ethernet is connected to the opposite device at the rate
of 10 Mbps.

100M: ON indicates that Ethernet is connected to the opposite device at the rate
of 100 Mbps.

ACT: Flash indicates that Ethernet is receiving or transmitting data.

ALARM: It is the alarm indicator. ON indicates that the device works
abnormally.

4. Ethernet (Ethernet RJ45 interface)

The interface features three functions:

1) When the W800A works normally in the network, this interface serves as the
W800A uplink interface, to connect W112P/W105P through the straight through
power supply Ethernet cable (AP remote power supply mode), or connect the
Ethernet switch downlink interface through the straight through Ethernet cable
(using power adapter to power local AP).

2) Before the W800A is installed, this interface can connect with PC wired network
interface through the crossed network cable, and then you can log on to the
W800A in the WEB or Telnet mode to configure W800A parameters.

3) When a version is loaded to the W800A through the hyper terminal, connect this
interface to the PC wired network interface through a crossed network cable and
run FTP/TFTP server application software on the PC, to load the running
version file to the W800A system.

5. CONSOLE (RJ11 interface for configuration)

It is connected to the PC serial interface through a serial interface cable, to
implement version loading, configuration and debugging to the device through
the hyper terminal.

6. ANT (Antenna interface)

It serves for installing the antenna.

3.3 Networking Modes

The W800A provides wireless access for the indoor wireless users. It can be placed in
such positions as office area, lobby or corridor of a hotel.

As the access equipment of wireless and wired network, the W800A provides users
with wireless access to Ethernet and data service access. Through different hardware
and software configurations, the W800A can construct different modes.

1. AP mode: The W800A implements BSS access to connect BSS to DS, and
supports wireless STA access.
