Service Provider Customer-Premises Equipment (WISP CPE) device, providing the functions of
a Wireless Access Point (WAP), WISP Client, and a high-gain antenna in one weatherproof de-
vice designed for outdoor use. The high power design extends transmission range and delivers
a more reliable wireless connection. Equipped with a Power over Ethernet Port known as PoE,
this device can be installed in locations where AC power is not readily available. It also features
a web-based management utility for easy configuration and hassle-free network connection.
Convenient power, LAN and signal strength LED indicators allow users to monitor the status of
the network.
Three operation modes are provided in the access point to meet each user’s needs.
AP Client Router: choose this mode to enable users to share the internet as a WISP client
router.
AP Router: choose this mode to enable users to share internet via ADSL/Cable modem,
in a wireless broadband router configuration.
AP: choose this mode to enable wireless devices to access a network using, in an access
point configuration.

Device layout
The AELPLDR4U1 access point features LED indicators, designed to display the connection
status and the strength of the wireless signal.
Figure 2-1 Front Panel sketch
Table 2-1
Note:
Wireless Signal Strength Indicators:
In AP or Bridge mode, all the four LEDs will light up.
In Client or Repeater mode, the corresponding LED(s) will light up when the RSSI value
(wireless signal strength value) reaches the RSSI threshold. The value of RSSI threshold
can be set on the Wireless Advanced Settings page, as shown in Figure 4-26.
For example, if the RSSI value you set is 30, while RSSI threshold of the four LEDs are 15,
25, 35, 45 respectively, then the LEDs having RSSI thresholds of 15 and 25 will light up.

2.5 Connecting the device
Make sure you are provided with wireless Internet service by your WISP (Wireless Internet
Service Provider).
Locate an optimum location for the AP. Try to place your AP in an appropriate position where
it can well receive the signal from WISP.
Connect the AP to the desktop PC.
Adjust the direction of the AP to get the best signal.
Power on the AP before configuring the AP on the web-based page on your computer.
