FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 0.4-meters (15.75-

inches) is required between the antenna and all persons.

Antenna Installation

WARNING: It is installer’s responsibility to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna in the United States (or where FCC

rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with

the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output

power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Professional installation is required of

equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety issues.

Installation Requirements

This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages the Deliberant DLB70xx line of outdoor products

hereafter referred to as the “device”. To use this guide, you should have experience working with the TCP/IP configuration and

be familiar with the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks.

NOTE: Only those antennas that are of the same type and with lesser gain than those that are certified with this device may

be used legally by the installer.

Packing List

Before you start to install the device, make sure the package contains the following items：

Wireless Outdoor Bridge unit * 1

Mounting Kit * 1

Power Over Ethernet Kit * 1

Quick Start Guides

Simple Access Point (Dual AP)

The DLB70XX series have two wireless radios: one 802.11Aand one 802.11B/G. Sometimes it is desirable to provide

customers with all three wireless standards, so this example shows how to create a bridged Access Point using both the

802.11A radio and the 802.11B/G radio.

The Operation Mode needs to be set to Bridge. This bridges both wireless interfaces and the ethernet interface.

In the Wireless > wlan1 > Basic Settings section: uncheck “Disable Wireless LAN Interface” checkbox. Set the Mode to “AP”.

Assign the SSID. For this example we used DLB_AP_BG since this is the 802.11B/G interface.

Follow the same steps for wlan2. In the Wireless > wlan2 > Basic Settings section: uncheck “Disable Wireless LAN Interface”

checkbox. Set the Mode to “AP”. Assign the SSID. For this example we used DLB_AP_A since this is the 802.11A interface.

For ease of management, it might be beneficial to change the LAN IP address to reside on the same subnet as the other PCs

in your bridged network.

Access Point Client Mode

This device can be configured as a wireless Ethernet adapter. In this mode, the device can connect to the other wireless

stations (Ad-Hoc network type) or Access Point (Infrastructure network type) and you don’t need to install any driver.

In “Basic Settings”page, change the Mode to “Client”mode. And key in the SSID of the AP you want to connect then press

“Apply Changes”button to apply the change.

Check the status of connection in the “Status”web page

The alternative way to configure is as follows:

In the “Wireless Site Survey”page, select one of the SSIDs you want to connect and then press “Connect”button to establish

the link.

If the link is established successfully it will show the message “Connect successfully”. Then press “OK”.

Then you can check the linking information in “Status”page.

NOTE: If the available network requires authentication and data encryption, you need to setup the authentication and

encryption before step1 and all the settings must be as same as the Access Point or Station. For more information about the

detail authentication and data encryption settings, please refer the security section.

Authentication Type

In client mode, the device also supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. Although the default

setting is “Auto”, not every Access Points can support “Auto”mode. If the authentication type on the Access Point is known by

the user, we suggest setting the authentication type the same as the Access Point.

Data Encryption

In client mode, the device supports WEP and WPA Personal/Enterprise except WPA2 mixed mode data encryption. For more

information about the detail data encryption settings, please refer the security section.

Configuring Universal Repeater

This device can be configured as a Repeater. In this mode, the device can extend the available wireless range of other AP and

let the user link to the network that they want. (The device is working as an AP and Repeater at the same time.)

Enable Universal Repeater Mode and then select an SSID in the Table that you want. Then click the Apply Changes button.

(Click the Refresh button to refresh the table.)

NOTE: Universal Repeater Mode is only available under AP, WDS and AP+WDS mode.

Enter specific SSID in the Extended SSID field and then click the Apply Changes button.

Wireless Setup

Initial Configuration

There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface.

To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device.

The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.

The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the

device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be accessed

by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you

need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X

(for WAN).

NOTE: By default the DHCP server is enabled. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment; otherwise it

will cause an abnormal situation.

We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is used for finding out the IP of the device. In case you have forgotten the IP of

the device or the IP of the device has been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even if your PC is not

in the same subnet as the device.

Operation Mode

This device can act in the following roles, and supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System) function:

Access Point

WDS (Wireless Repeater)

Bridge/Router

WISP

AP Client

The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of the device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation

mode determines the communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC. The following are the

available operation modes:

Router

In this operation mode, the wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with an ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is

used for your private WLAN. The NAT is enabled between the 2 NICs, and all the wireless clients share the same public IP

address through the WAN port to the ISP. The default IP configuration for the WAN port is static IP. You can access the web

server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement.

Bridge

The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once Bridge mode is selected, all the WAN related functions will be

disabled.

WISP (Wireless ISP)

This mode allows the wireless NIC to act as the WAN port and the wired NIC to act as the LAN port with NAT enabled between

them. To use this mode, you must first set the wireless radio to be in client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP, then you

can set the WAN IP configuration to meet your ISP requirement.

The wireless radio of the device acts in the following roles.

AP (Access Point)

The wireless radio of the device serves as a communications “hub”for wireless clients and provides a connection to a wired

LAN.

AP Client

This mode provides the capability to connect with another AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge

operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter.And

with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with the

hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode

is selected no wireless clients can survey or connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection.

WDS+AP

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also allows the wireless clients to survey

and connect to the device.

The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes:

Band

The device supports 2.4GHz(B), 2.4GHz(G) and 2.4GHz(B+G) mixed modes.

Mode

The radio of the device supports different modes as follows:

The radio of the device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network.

Client

Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter.

WDS

This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode

is selected no wireless clients can survey or connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection.

AP+WDS

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also allows the wireless clients to survey

and connect to the device.

Network Type

Infrastructure

This type requires the presence of 802.11b/g Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point.

Ad Hoc

This type provides a peer-to-peer communication between wireless stations. All the communication is done from Client to

Client without any Access Point involved. Ad Hoc networking must use the same SSID and channel for establishing the

wireless connection.

In client mode, the device can not support the Router mode functions including Firewall and WAN settings.

SSID

The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple

access point/bridges on a network or sub-network can use the same SSID. SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32

alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in your SSID.
