The OW-1000A is fully interoperable with IEEE 802.11b/g compliant
Outdoor Wireless Last-mile product. The OW-1000A operates in AP mode
or remote bridge mode, and connects to OW-1000A AP/CB to construct
point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint topologies, for maximum
flexibility in configuring building-to-building networks and WISP
functions.

ŸŪůťŰŸŴġ ijıııİřőġ 炸 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. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The OW-1000A is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The
Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to OW-1000A
unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to
improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
¾This works great in areas where you may not have power , like
house roof.
¾This also allows you to place the OW-1000A unit closer to the
antenna, to make installation easier more thus reducing signal
loss over antenna cabling.
¾Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal
doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
¾Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

2.3 Preparing Installation
Before installing OW-1000A for outdoor application or hard-to-reach
location, we recommend configuring and test all the devices first.
For configuring the OW-1000A, please follow the quick steps below to
power up the OW-1000A. Refer to Figure 2-2 for steps 1 through 5.
Figure 2-2
Step1 : Connect 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 6). The Power LED on the
Inline Power Injector will light up.
Step2 : Run the cross-over type uplink Ethernet cable from Data Input
Port (refer topage 6) to the Ethernet port on a PC.
Step3 : Connect the 30m CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the OW-1000A unit.
Hand tighten the connector.
Step4 : 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 OW-1000A.
When the OW-1000A receives power over the Ethernet cable, the
OW-1000A will start its boot up sequence and the Active LED on the
Inline Power Injector will light up.
You can configure the OW-1000A via HTML browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC.

Chapter 3. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several common types of installations
implemented by using the OW-1000A’s line of Outdoor Wireless System.
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. The OW-1000A CB can be configured to function as a
Wireless Client Router or Bridge to a central access point like the
OW-1000A AP see Figure 3-1 below.
Figure 3-1
The OW-1000A CB performs in either router or bridge mode. In a
Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between network systems is done
through a centralized agent. Among the OW-1000A Outdoor Wireless Bridge
products, the centralized agent is Central Bridge (OW-1000A AP) and the individual
network notes may be Bridge (OW-1000A CB ).
To show the available Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples are
provided.

Wireless Client Bridge-to-Central Wireless Bridge
3.1 Wireless Client Bridge-to-Central Wireless Bridge
Figure 3-2
Refer to Figure 3-2 for the following setup.
Note: The OW-1000A AP is the Central Wireless Bridge and OW-1000A
CB is the Wireless Client Bridge
Step 1 Set the OW-1000A AP to perform a bridge (bridge IP address:
192.168.1.1).
Step 2 Set Wireless parameters on the AP to: Channel (1) and SSID
(wireless)
Step 3 Set the OW-1000A CB to function in the bridge mode (bridge IP
address: 192.168.1.241).
Step 4 Set Wireless parameters on the OW-1000A CB to: Channel (1)
and SSID (wireless), and these parameters must be the same with
COU.
Step 5 Left side subnet is transparent to the right side.
Step 6 DHCP server assign IP address to PC1 and PC2
