1 Product overview
1.1 Introduction
The high-performance Wireless Network Access Point (AP) is designed for enterprise and public
access applications. Embedded with the Atheros chipset, it boasts network robustness, stability and
wider network coverage. Based on 802.11n (Draft 2.0), the access point supports high-speed data
transmission of up to 300Mbps.
The access point is capable of operating in different modes, which makes it suitable for a wide variety
of wireless applications, including long-distance deployments.
Designed with dual polarization high gain antenna it offers a compact, rugged design for outdoor
installation and excellent performance.
Moreover, its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access point to be used in areas where
power outlets are not readily available.
To protect your security and privacy, the access point is armed with many enhanced and latest
wireless security features such as IEEE 802.11i standards, MAC Address Filtering, IEEE 802.1x
Authentication and 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to ensure privacy for the
heterogeneous mix of users within the same wireless network.
The access point also incorporates a unique set of advanced features such as: Virtual AP to deliver
multiple services; Long-Range parameter fine-tuning which provide the access point with the ability to
auto-calculate parameters such as slot time, ACK time-out and CTS time-out to achieve a longer
range.
1.2 Features and benefits
Point-to-Point & Point-to-MultiPoint Support
Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint communication between different buildings enables you to
bridge wireless clients that are kilometres apart while unifying the networks.
Virtual AP (Multiple SSID)
Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID) This allows a single wireless card to be set up with
multiple virtual AP connections with different SSIDs or BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) and
security modes.
Highly Secured Wireless Network
The access point supports the highest available wireless security standard: IEEE802.11i compliant.

E‐LinsTechnologyCo.,Limited
Tel:+86(755)33231620E‐mail:sales@szelins.comsales@e‐lins.comwww.szelins.com
The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x for secure and centralized user-based authentication.
Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through highly secure methods like EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network.
uConfig Utility
The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user-friendlyWeb configuration interface of
the access point without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the workstation.
HTTPS
The access point supports HTTPS (SSL) in addition to the standard HTTP. HTTPS (SSL) features
additional authentication and encryption for secure communication.
Telnet
Telnet allows a computer to remotely connect to the access point CLI (Command Line Interface)
for control and monitoring.
SSH
SSH (Secure Shell Host) establishes a secure host connection to the access point CLI for control
and monitoring.
1.3 Operation Modes and Connection Examples
1.3.1 Access Point and Access Point WDS Mode
The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the device. It enables the bridging of wireless clients to
wired network infrastructure and enables transparent access and communication with each other. The
illustration belowshows a typical resources sharing application example using this device. The wireless
users are able to access the file server connected to the switch, through the access point in Access
Point Mode.
1.3.2 Access Point WDS Mode
This ismode is generally use for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connection.
It is mainly use with StationWDS to build the point and multi-point connections.
1.3.3 Station Mode
In Station mode the device acts as a wireless client.When connected to an access point, it creates a
network link between the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless Ethernet
network connected at the access point.
In this example the workgroup PCs on the ethernet network connected to the Station device can access
the printer across the wireless connection to the access point where the printer is connected.

1.3.4 Station WDS Mode
StationWDS mode is similar to Station mode. The difference is StationWDS must connect to access
point configured to Access Point WDS (or RootAP) mode.
StationWDS is mainly use for point-to point connection between 2 buildings or locations as far as
several kilometer away.
Point-to-Point Point-to-MultiPoint
Point to-Point Point to-MultiPoint
An access point setup as Access Point WDS (or
RootAP) and other as Station WDS (Transparent
Client).
An access point setup as Access Point WDS (or
RootAP) and several other devices as Station
WDS (or Transparent Client).
This mode is generally used for outdoor connections over long distances, or for indoor connections
between local networks.
1.3.5 Router Mode
In Router Mode, the device also operates as a router.
Either the wireless or Ethernet can be setup as WAN connection to a broadband modem. Wireless as
WAN is known as Station + Router mode (or Wireless Routing Client mode) and Ethernet as WAN
is known as AP + Router mode (or Gateway mode). Device supports several types of broadband
connections Static IP, Dynamic IP and PPPoE. For setup details refer to the respective section.
The illustration below shows the Ethernet port is setup as theWAN port and the wireless

connection as the LAN.
Station + Router connection example
Wireless is use to connect to the broadband.
Ethernet is the local network (LAN)
sharing the broadband connection.
AP + Router connection example
Ethernet is use to connect to the broadband.
Wireless is the local network (LAN)
sharing the broadband connection.
Broadband Internet Access Type:
Static IP Address
Use Static IP Address you have subscribed a fixed IP or range IP addresses fromyour ISP.
Dynamic IP Address
With Dynamic IP Address the device automatically request IP address frommodemor ISP.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
When using ADSL services provided by your ISP support PPPoE connection.
1.3.6 Repeater WDS Mode
Repeater WDS Mode to mainly to extend the wireless range and coverage of the wireless network
allowing access and communications over places generally difficult for wireless clients to connect to the

network.
In Repeater mode, the access point acts as a relay for network signals on the network by regenerating
the signals it receives, and retransmitting themto main network infrastructure.
Detailed information on the Repeater mode is available in the Repeater Setup
section.
** Note: Repeater WDS requires the access point to be setup in RootAP or
Access Point WDS mode to work.
2 Installation
2.1 Setup requirements
Before starting, please verify that the following is available:
CAT5/5e networking cable
At least 1 computer installed with a web browser and a wired or wireless network interface
adapter.
