Injector Ports
zSpecial Ethernet port 1 for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet
Cable
zSpecial serial port 2 for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style RS-232
console port cable
zGrounding port 3.
zSpecial N-Type connector 4 for connecting the antenna or RF cable.
zPower & Data output port 5 for connecting the other of the MIL-C-
5015 style Ethernet Cable
zData input port 6 for connecting the Ethernet Cable to a Hub Switch
Router or a PC.

1.3 Installing the Antennas
Step 1: With the unit powered off, attach the dipole antenna to the antenna
connector as shown in Figure 1.3.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten; finger tight is sufficient. Position the antenna
vertically for best omni-directional signal reception.
Figure 1.3.
Before installing your WLAN system, we recommend that you test the
Access Point using the dipole antenna included in your package. Once
testing is completed, install your Access Point for use with the appropriate
antenna for your application.
1.4 Installing the Console Port Cable
Step 2: Attach the Console Port cable to the Serial Port. Attach the other
cable end to the Serial Port on a PC running a terminal emulation program,
4
and set the terminal to 15200 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit, and
ANSI compatible.
NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration
information.
After configuration is completed, this cable may be removed until additional
configuration is required via the Serial Port.
1.5 Connecting the power supply and Ethernet
cable
Step 3 Plug the female end of the power cord into the Inline Power Injector,
and then plug the male end of the power cord into a power outlet or power
strip. The Power LED on the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up.
Step 4 Run the cross over Ethernet cable (included in your package) from
Data Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the Ethernet
Port on the PC we mentioned above.
NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration
information. After configuration is completed, this cable will be removed,
and then you should run an Ethernet cable from Data Input Port (on the
front of the Inline Power Injector) to the LAN connection (such as a hub or
concentrator).
Step 5 Plug the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet connector into the Special
Ethernet port on the back of the access point.
Step 6 Plug the RJ-45 Ethernet connector (the other end of the Special
Ethernet cable) into the Power & Data Output Port on the front of the Inline
Power Injector. When the Access Point receives power over the Ethernet
cable, the Access Point will start its boot sequence and the Active LED on
the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up.

1.6 Outdoor Installation
Outdoor Access Point device can be mounted on the side of a
building or mounted to an mast as shown in following:
A wall (side) mount allows for mounting the Outdoor AP on the side of
a building. This will provide a convenient mounting location when the
roof overhang is not excessive and/or the location is high enough to
provide a clear line of sight.
Grounding
A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor
installation from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity.
So direct grounding of the antenna mast, Outdoor AP and
Surge Arrester is very important. And so mounting the Outdoor AP on
the antenna mast, you have to connect the Outdoor AP to the same
grounding system with the AC wall outlet.
The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code
and safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your outdoor
installation is properly grounded.

Chapter 2. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several main types of installations commonly
implemented using the Outdoor Wireless Access Point (OWAP). This is
by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations,
but rather shows examples of some of the more common implementations
(as shown in following figuration).
The OWAP can perform in router or bridge modes. In a wireless topology,
all communication between network stations is done through a centralized
Access Point. To show some possibilities of wireless topologies, the
following examples are provided:
1. Wireless Access Bridge
2. Wireless Access Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection
3. Wireless Access Router with dynamic IP address Ethernet
4. Wireless Access Router with static IP address Ethernet
7
2.1 Wireless Access Bridge
1. Set the OWAP as a bridge (bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1).
2. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID
(wireless)
3. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3:
SSID (wireless).
4. Left side stations are transparent to the right side network.
5. DHCP server assigns IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.
8
2.2 Wireless Access Router with PPPoE
Ethernet connection
1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1,
Ethernet Interface IP is 192.168.2.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet
Interface, default route is 0.0.0.0).
2. Choose the PPPoE connection mode and specify that your
personal ISP provided PPPoE Username and PPPoE Password to
enable ADSL broadband access.
3. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID
(wireless)
4. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1,
PC2 and PC3.
5. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3:
SSID (wireless).
9
2.3 Wireless Access Router with dynamic IP
Ethernet connection
1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, must
turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface).
2. Enable DHCP client on the Ethernet Interface of the OWAP (This
OWAP will got IP / Gateway / DNS from the DHCP server).
3. Set Wireless parameters on the OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID
(wireless)
4. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1,
PC2 and PC3.
6. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3:
SSID (wireless).
10
2.4 Wireless Access Router with static IP
Ethernet connection
1. Set the OWAP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1,
Ethernet Interface IP is 192.1682.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet
Interface, default route is 192.168.2.254).
2. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (1) and SSID
(wireless)
3. Turn on DHCP server on the OWAP and assign IP address to PC1,
PC2 and PC3.
4. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3:
SSID (wireless).
11
Chapter 3. Web Access
Web Connection
The SendFar Wireless Access Point (OWAP) supports access to the
configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface (web browser).
Before configuring the OWAP, you need 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 OWAP by default. To start a web connection use:
http://192.168.2.1/
Identify the IP Address assigned to the unit
However, the IP Address may be changed and you cannot connect the unit
using the default IP Address. In this case, you must identify the OWAP IP
Address before configuration. To identify the IP Address, you can use the
Serial Port to gain access the current network status. To start a Serial Port
connection:
1. Attach a serial data (RS-232) cable to the Serial Port Adapter.
Connect the other cable end to a terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program. Use a 9-pin female to 9-pin female NULL Modem
cable.
2. Set the terminal to 115200 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit,
and ANSI compatible.
Note: Running a terminal emulation program on your PC, such as
HyperTerminal, and then set the following connection properties:
zClick the Start icon > Program > Accessories >
Communication > Terminal.
zCreate a new connection file, and then select a Com Port
<COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your PC> with 115200bps /
8-bits / 1-stop.
zClick the properties icon in the Tool Bar > setting > select
Emulation terminal VT100 > ok.
12
3. Reboot or turn on your OWAP
4. When the OWAP is powered up, the “Current Network Status” will be
displayed.
Figure 3-1 Current Network Status
Web Access Procedure
Once you identify the IP Address assigned to your OWAP, use your web
browser to configure the OWAP through the HTTP Interface.
The following procedure explains how to configure each item.
1. Open your browser and enter the IP Address
2. Press ENTER and the OWAP Login screen appear.
