The AirEther CB11 is fully interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant

Outdoor Wireless Last-mile product. The AirEther CB11 operates in remote

bridge mode, and connects to AirEther RB11 Outdoor Wireless Router

Bridge to construct point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint topologies,

for maximum flexibility in configuring building-to-building networks and

WISP functions.

Version 1.01 2

1.4 System Requirements

Installation of the Outdoor Wireless Client Bridge requires the following:

1. A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer or Ethernet

data device with an available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the

configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the

Ethernet network.

2. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to

Ethernet network.

3. A RS-232 consol port cable is connected to PC/AT compatible

computer.

4. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.

1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)

The AirEther CB11 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The

Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to AirEther CB11

unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve

the performance vs. installation cost ratio.

1. This works great in areas where you may not have power

and/or Ethernet easily accessible, like house roof.

2. This also allows you to place the AirEther CB11 unit closer to

the antenna, more easily thus reducing signal loss over

antenna cabling.

3. Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz

signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.

4. Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

Version 1.01 6

2.3 Preparing Installation

Before installing AirEther CB11 for outdoor application or hard-to-reach

location, we recommend configuring and test all the devices first.

For configuring the AirEther CB11, please follow the quick steps below to

power up the AirEther CB11. Refer to Figure 2-5 for steps 1 through 5.

Figure 2-5

Step 1 Attach the 1.8m RS-232 null modem console cable to the Console

Port on the AirEther CB11 unit (refer to page 4), and the other end

(DB9 female type) to a terminal or a PC running a terminal

emulation program.

Step 2 Plug the DC plug of the AC/DC power adapter into the DC Input

Port of Inline Power Injector and the wall-mount plug into a power

outlet or power strip (refer to page 4). The Power LED on the Inline

Power Injector will light up.

Step 3 Run the cross-over type uplink Ethernet cable from Data Input

Port (refer topage 4) to the Ethernet port on a PC.

Version 1.01 7

Step 4. Connect the 30m CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the CB11 unit. Hand

tighten the connector.

Step 5. Connect the remaining end of the 30m CAT 5 cable into the PoE

labeled AP/Bridge. This is the power side of the PoE that will power up the

CB11.

NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration

information. After configuration is completed, the RS-232 null

modem console cable shall be removed, and run a cross-over

Ethernet cable from Data Input Port to PC, or a straight Ethernet

cable to LAN connection, e.g. Hub.

When the AirEther CB11 receives power over the Ethernet cable, the

AirEther CB11 will start its boot up sequence and the Active LED on the

Inline Power Injector will light up.

You can configure the AirEther CB11 via HTML browser, such as Microsoft

Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC.

2.4 Basic Configuration

2.4.1 What you need to know

The AirEther CB11 can be configured into two operation roles: Wireless

Client Bridge or Wireless Client Router.

The AirEther CB11 is shipped with default configuration to function as a

client bridge between an Ethernet and Wireless network by attaching

AirEther CB11 to a wired LAN. For configuration details of the AirEther

CB11, please refer to the following procedures.

2.4.2 Basic Configuration Steps

This section describes a five-step BASIC configuration procedure to setup

AirEther CB11.

Version 1.01 8

Step 1 Select an operation mode for the AirEther CB11 on the web page

/General Config/System/, and click FINISH to refresh this page.

Step 2 Modify the factory-default parameters on the web page /General

Config/System/, and click FINISH to save the changes.

Step 3 Modify the factory-default parameters on the web page /General

Config/Wireless/, and click FINISH to save the changes.

Step 4 (Optional) Modify other parameters on the web page /General

Config/, and click FINISH to save the changes.

Step 5 Move to page /Utility/Administration/, select the Save

then Restart and then click FINISH to take effect on the previous

2.4.3 Logging into the Web Interface

The AirEther CB11 supports access to the configuration system through the

use of an HTTP Interface.

Web Configuration

Before configuring AirEther CB11, the user needs to know the IP Address

assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP Address

192.168.2.1 was assigned to the AirEther CB11 by default. To start a web

connection, use http://192.168.2.1

Identify the IP Address assigned to the unit

However, user may change the IP Address later and cannot connect the

unit by using the default IP Address. In this case, it is a must to identify the

AirEther CB11 current IP Address before configuring. To identify the IP

Address, user can use the serial port (refer to page 4) to gain access of the

current network status.

To start a Serial Port connection by following the steps below.

Step 1 Attach the RS-232 null modem console cable (refer to page 3 and

page 5) to the RS-232 Console Port on AirEther CB11. Connect

Version 1.01 9

the other end to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation

program.

Step 2 Set the terminal to 115200 baud rate, None Parity, 8 data bits, 1

Stop bit, and ANSI compatible.

Step 3 Run a terminal emulation program on PC, such as Hyper

Terminal, and set the following connection properties.

Step 3.1 Click the Start icon > Program > Accessories >

Communication > Terminal.

Step 3.2 Create a new connection file, and select a Com Port

<COM1, COM2, etc., depending on PC> with

115200bps / 8-bits / 1-stop/Flow control OFF.

Step 3.3 Click the properties icon in the Tool Bar > setting >

select Emulation terminal VT100 > ok.
