1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
CERIO’s GS Firmware utilizes the CenOS 3.0 core. The firmware’s main functions are Wifi
application for Pure WiFi Access Point, Point to Point / Multi Point WiFi Bridge and Bridge +
Repeater Extension WiFi AP functions.
The CenOS 3.0 core’s operational mode supports Pure AP with WDS Mode and Client
Bridge + Universal Repeater Mode. These CenOS 3.0 features simplify deployment and
reduce cost for continued maintenance of indoor Access Points. Cerio’s CenOS is
undoubtedly your best wifi application solution.

V1.0a
Notice: Due to reasons involving practical deployment and functionality of CW-400NAC, this device
supports only THREE operation modes: AP mode and AP+WDS Mode, Client Bridge + Repeater AP
Mode, WISP + Repeater AP Mode. CW-400NAC is intended for indoor deployment through either
Ceiling or Wall mounting.
The CW-400NAC eXtreme Power AC1200 2.4GHz / 5GHz 2x2 Ceiling / Wall PoE Access Point is
an AC1200 Wireless concurrent dual band wifi device. CW-400NAC bundles Cerio CenOS 3.0
Software Core and supports Cerio Wireless Management Software (CWMS), enabling connection
to Wireless Indoor Networks for service providers deploying last mile services to home, businesses,
and residential broadband subscribers. Network administrators can create and centrally manage
multiple subscriber service tiers using per-subscriber rate limiting features. The CW-400NAC
Structure (Form Factor) supports both Ceiling and Wall mounting.
The CW-400NAC eXtreme Power AC1200 2.4GHz / 5GHz 2x2 Ceiling / Wall PoE Access Point
hardware utilizes 800mW (2.4GHZ) / 500mW (5GHZ) eXtreme power and built-in 2x2 Dual-Band
Omni directional antennas. The CW-400NAC Dual Band Wireless Access Point hardware with
Cerio CenOS 3.0 software may utilize CERIO’s CWMS management software to better organize
and manage a network infrastructure. CW-400NAC can also provide subscribers with an Ethernet
connection for a local access to extend the range and increase the performance of a wireless
network. CW-400NAC hardware also includes 802.3af PoE capabilities that allows power and data
to be supplied to the unit using CAT5 Ethernet cable.
1.2 Software Configuration
CW-400NAC supports web-based configuration. Upon the completion of hardware installation,
CW-400NAC can be configured through a PC/NB by using a web browser such as Internet Explorer
6.0 or later.

2. Software Setting
2.1 Operating Mode Introduction
CERIO CW-400NAC eXtreme Power 11n Dual Band 2x2 Ceiling / Wall PoE Access Point
with CenOS3.0 software supports three operational modes: Access Point Mode, Client
Bridge Mode, and WISP Mode. It utilizes built-in remote management features that simplify
deployment and reduce costs of continued maintenance of the access point
Because of CW-400NAC’s Dual Band capabilities, this device possesses more reliable
connectivity and allows for higher capacity and performance speeds. CW-400NAC can operate
concurrently on two radio frequencies, simultaneously enabling more flexible deployment without
sacrificing bandwidth or risking device overloading. These high performance and high loadbearing
capabilities makes CW-400NAC the perfect device to be deployed in Offices, Hotels, Universities,
Hospitals, Airports, Luxury Houses, etc.
