Caution: DON’T plug the power cord into PoE device before you finish install
the antenna and Ground wire to ensure the safety.
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

Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
There are two interfaces to configure the device, one is web-browser
interface, and the other is Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is
192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge
mode, you can access the device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be
accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device
are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure
the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as
192.168.2.X(for LAN), 172.1.1.X(for WAN).
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your subnet, otherwise it will
cause abnormal situation.
Inside the CD, we provide the device auto-discovery tool, the tool can detect
the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device in case the
IP address of device is changed and forgot by user. The tool only can
discover the device in your local area network.

The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device
can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication
mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the
types of operation mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and
the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2
NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN
port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access
the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify
the setting base on your ISP requirement.
Bridge
The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is
selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public
IP address form your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port of the
device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless radio to be client mode and
connect to the AP of your ISP then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to
met your ISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients
and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can
directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a
wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired
Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share
the same public IP address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode serves as a wireless repeater, the device forwards the packets to another
AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t

Ch 3. Configuring WDS
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) uses wireless media to communicate
with the other devices, like the Ethernet does. This function allows one or
more remote LANs connect with the local LAN. To do this, you must set
these devices in the same channel and set MAC address of other devices
you want to communicate with in the WDS AP List and then enable the
WDS.
When you decide to use the WDS to extend your WLAN, please refer the
following instructions for configuration.
z
z
The bridging devices by WDS must use the same radio channel.
When the WDS function is enabled, all wireless stations can’t connect
the device.
z
z
If your network topology has a loop, you need to enable the 802.1d
Spanning Tree function.
You don’t need to add all MAC address of devices existed in your
network to WDS AP List. WDS AP List only needs to specify the MAC
address of devices you need to directly connect to.
z
The bandwidth of device is limited, to add more bridging devices will
split the more bandwidth to every bridging device.
WDS network topology
In this section, we will demonstrate the WDS network topologies and WDS
AP List configuration. You can setup the four kinds of network topologies:
bus, star, ring and mesh.
In this case, there are five devices with WDS enabled: WDS1, WDS2,
WDS3, WDS4 and WDS5.

Ch 4. Advanced Configurations
Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall
Filtering function is used to block packets from LAN to WAN. The device
supports three kinds of filter Port Filtering, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. All
the entries in current filter table are used to restrict certain types of packets
from your local network to through the device. Use of such filters can be
helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
Port Filtering
When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port
or port ranges in current filter table. Once the source port of outgoing
packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the
firewall will block those packets from LAN to WAN.
IP Filtering
When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP
Addresses in current filter table. Once the source IP address of outgoing
packets match the IP Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this
packet from LAN to WAN.
MAC Filtering
When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC

Addresses in current filter table. Once the source MAC Address of
outgoing packets match the MAC Addresses in the table, the firewall will
block this packet from LAN to WAN.
Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual
Server)
This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services
to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only
necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a web server or mail
server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall.
The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table.
