1 Introduction
1.1 Annotation
Modern tendencies of telecommunication development necessitate operators to search for the most optimal
technologies, allowing one to meet rapidly growing needs of subscribers, while maintaining at the same time
consistency of business processes, development flexibility and reducing the costs of various services.
Wireless technologies are spinning up more and more, and have paced a huge way for short time from
unstable low-speed communication networks of low radius to broadband access networks equitable to speed
of wired networks with high criteria to the quality of provided services.
The main purpose of WEP-30L is installation inside buildings as an access point to various resources creating
a seamless wireless network from several identical access points (“Roaming”), if the coverage area is large
enough.
This manual specifies intended purpose, main technical parameters, design, safe operation rules, and
installation and configuration recommendations forWEP-30L.

2 Device description
2.1 Purpose
WEP-30L wireless access point is designed to provide the user access to high-speed and secure network.
The main purpose of the device is to create a Layer 2 wireless network at the junction with a wired network.
WEP-30L connects to a wired network over 10/100/1000/2500M Ethernet interface and using radio interfaces
creates wireless high-speed access for devices that support Wi-Fi technology in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
The device contains 2 radio interfaces for organizing two physical wireless networks.
WEP-30L supports modern quality of service requirements and allows one to transmit the most important
traffic in higher priority queues than normal. Prioritization is provided by the following QoS technologies: CoS
(special tags in the VLAN packet field) and ToS (tags in the IP packet field). Support for traffic shaping on each
VAP allows one to fully manage access, quality of service and restrictions both for all subscribers and for
everyone in particular.
The device is designed for installation in offices (government institutions, conference rooms, laboratories,
hotels, etc.). Ability to create virtual hotspots with different encryption types allows one to place WEP-30L in
organizations where separation of access rights is required between ordinary users and dedicated user
groups.

3 Rules and recommendations for device installation
This section defines safety rules, installation recommendations, setup procedure and the device starting
procedure.
3.1 Safety rules
Do not install the device near heat source and at places where temperature may reach values below
+5 °Cor higher 40 °C.
Do not use the device in rooms with high humidity. Do not expose the device to smoke, dust, water,
mechanical vibration or shock.
Do not open the device case. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
3.2 Installation recommendations
1.The recommended installation position: horizontal, on the ceiling.
2. Before installing the device and turning it on, check the device for visible mechanical defects. If defects are
observed, stop the device installation, fill in the corresponding act and contact the supplier.
3.If your device has been exposed to the cold for a long period of time, let it warm up at room temperature for
two hours before starting work. If your device has been exposed to high humidity for a long period of time, let it
stay under normal conditions for at least 12 hours before turning it on.
4. When placing your device, in order to provide the best Wi-Fi coverage consider the following rules:
Install the device at the center of a wireless network;
Minimize the number of barriers (walls, ceilings, furniture, and etc.) between WEP-30L and other wireless
network devices;
Do not install the device near (about 2 m) electrical and radio devices;
It is not recommended to use radiophone and other equipment operating at the frequency of 2.4 GHz or
5 GHz, within the range of a Wi-Fi network;
Obstacles like glass/metal constructions, brick/concrete walls, water cans and mirrors can significantly
reduce Wi-Fi action radius.It is not recommended to place the device inside a false ceiling as metal
frame causes multipath signal propagation and signal attenuation.
5. When installing several access points, cell action radius must overlap with action radius of a neighboring
cell at the level from -65 to -70 dBm. It is allowed to reduce the signal level to -75 dBm at cell boundaries, if it is
not intended to use VoIP, video streaming and other sensitive to losses traffic in wireless network.
To prevent overheating of the device components and malfunction of the device, do not block the
ventilation holes with foreign objects and do not place objects on the equipment surface.

3.3 Calculating the number of required access points
To calculate the required number of access points, evaluate the required coverage zone. For more accurate
assessment, it is necessary to make a radio examination of the room. Approximate radius of WEP-30L
coverage area with a good-quality signal in case of mounting on a ceiling in typical office: 2.4 GHz — 40–50 m,
5 GHz — 20–30 m. In the absence of obstacles, the coverage radius: 2.4 GHz — up to 100 m, 5 GHz — up to
60 m. Table 4 describes rough attenuation values.
Table 4 — Attenuation values
Material Change of signal level, dB
2.4 GHz 5 GHz
Organic glass -0.3 -0.9
Brick -4.5 -14.6
Glass -0.5 -1.7
Plaster slab -0.5 -0.8
Wood laminated plastic -1.6 -1.9
Plywood -1.9 -1.8
Plaster with wirecloth -14.8 -13.2
Breezeblock -7 -11
Metal lattice (mesh 13 × 6 mm, metal 2 mm) -21 -13
3.4 Channel selection for neighboring access points
It is recommended to set non-overlapping channels to avoid interchannel interference among neighboring
access points.


Example of channel allocation scheme among neighboring access points in frequency range of 2.4 GHz when
channel width is 20 MHz, seeFigure 4.
Figure 4 – Scheme of channel allocation among neighboring access points in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz
when channel width is 20 MHz
Similarly, the procedure of channel allocation is recommended to save for access point allocation between
floors, seeFigure 5.
Figure 5 – Scheme of channel allocation between neighboring access points that are located between floors
With achannel widthof40 MHzthere are no non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band. In such cases, you
should select channels maximally separated from each other.

4.1 Wall mounting procedure
1.Fix the plastic bracket (included in the delivery package) to the wall:
Figure 7 – Attaching the bracket to a wall
An example of placing theplastic bracket is shown in Figure 7.
When installing the bracket, pass wires through the corresponding channels of the bracket, see Figure 7.
Align four screw holes on the bracket with the corresponding screw holes on the surface. Screw the
bracket to the surface using a screwdriver.
2. Install the device.
Connect cables to corresponding connectors of the device. Description of the connectors is given in the
sectionDesign.
Align the device with the bracket and secure the position by pulling it down.

Figure 8 —Mounting the device on a false ceiling
1. Attach the metal and plastic brackets to the ceiling (Figure 8).
Fasten the plastic bracket (3) onfalse ceilingwith the metal bracket (1) in the following order:metal
bracket ->Armstrong panel -> plastic bracket.
In the Armstrong panel, make a hole with the the size of the metal bracket. Run the wires through this
hole.
Align the holes on the metal bracket, Armstrong panel and plastic bracket. Next, align the screw holes on
the plastic bracket with the same holes on the metal bracket. Use a screwdriver to fix brackets with
screws.
2. Install the device.
Connect cables to corresponding connectors of the device. Description of the connectors is given in the
sectionDesign.
Align the device with the plastic bracket and secure the position by turning the device clockwise.
4.3 Removing the device from the bracket
To remove the device from the bracket:
Pull the device up (Figure 7).
Remove the device.
It is not recommended to place WEP-30L from the inside of the false ceiling, as the metal frame
causes signal multipath propagation and its attenuation when passing through the lattice of the false
ceiling frame.
