Operation Modes and Connection Examples
Access Point and Access Point WDS Mode
The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the AIR-PTP600. It enables the bridging of
wireless clients to wired network infrastructure and enables transparent access and
communication with each other.
The illustration below shows a typical resources sharing application example using this
device. The wireless users are able to access the file server connected to the switch,
through the AIR-PTP600 in Access Point Mode.
Access Point WDS Mode
This operating mode is generally used for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connection.
It is mainly used with Station WDS to build the point and multi-point connections.

Page 10 of 81
Station Mode
In Station mode the AIR-PTP600 acts as a wireless client.
When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between the Ethernet
network connected at the AIR-PTP600, and the wireless Ethernet network connected at
the access point.
In this example the workgroup PCs on the Ethernet network connected to the Station
device can access the printer across the wireless connection to the access point where the
printer is connected.

Page 11 of 81
Station WDS Mode
Station WDS mode is similar to Station mode. The difference is that Station WDS
must connect to an access point configured as Access Point WDS mode.
Station WDS is mainly used for point-to–point connection between 2 buildings or
locations as far as several kilometers away.
Point-to-Point Point-to-MultiPoint
An access point setup as Access Point WDS
and other as Station WDS. An access point setup as Access Point WDS
and several other devices as Station WDS.
This mode is generally used for outdoor connections over long distances, or for indoor
connections between local networks.

Page 12 of 81
Router Mode
In Router Mode, the AIR-PTP600 also operates as a router.
Either the wireless or Ethernet can be setup as WAN connection to a broadband modem.
Wireless as WAN is known as Station + Router mode and Ethernet as WAN is known as
AP + Router mode. The AIR-PTP600 supports several types of broadband connections
Static IP, Dynamic IP and PPPoE. For setup details refer to the respective section.
Station + Router connection example
Wireless is used to connect to the broadband (WAN).
Ethernet is the local network (LAN)
sharing the Broadband connection.
AP + Router connection example
Ethernet is use to connect to the
broadband (WAN).
Wireless is the local network (LAN)
sharing the broadband connection.
Broadband Internet Access Type:
Static IP Address
Use Static IP Address you have subscribed a fixed IP or range IP addresses from your
ISP.
Dynamic IP Address
With Dynamic IP Address the device automatically request IP address from
modem or ISP.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
When using ADSL services provided by your ISP support PPPoE connection.

Page 13 of 81
Repeater WDS Mode
Repeater WDS Mode is mainly used to extend the wireless range and coverage of the
wireless network allowing access and communications over places generally difficult for
wireless clients to connect to the network.
In Repeater mode, the AIR-PTP600 acts as a relay for network signals on the network by
regenerating the signals it receives, and retransmitting them to main network
infrastructure.
Detailed information on the Repeater mode is available in the Repeater Setup section.
** Note: Repeater WDS requires the access point to be setup in
Access Point WDS mode to work.

Mounting AIRNET MIMO Outdoor Bridge in the pole or tower
Netkrom AIRNET MIMO Outdoor Bridge device can be mounted on the pole or tower
as shown in following:
1.- Attach the mounting bracket to the back of the radio using
the four hex screws provided. (Do not over tighten the screws.)
Note: The bracket in the illustration side shows the normal
orientation which allows the wireless unit to be pointed up towards
the base station antenna. However, if you live somewhere that
would require you pointing the device down towards the base
station antenna (for example, you are on the side of a mountain in
view of the base station antenna below), reverse the bracket so
the Netkrom wireless radio Unit can be
“tilted” downward when you aim theAIRNET MIMO Outdoor Bridge
in a later step.
2.-You can use the pipe bracket assembly for either thin or thick
poles by just inverting the position of one of the elements as it
shown on the right.
3.- Mount theAIRNET MIMO Outdoor Bridge to the top of the
pipe or other support and point the AIRNET MIMO Outdoor
Bridge in the approximate direction of the base station antenna,
then hand-tighten the nuts on the mounting system.
