1 Introduction
The NOC-3610S EXT ireless High Power and High Gain Client Bridge/Access
Point/ DS (wireless distribution system) operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency
spectrum supporting the 802.11b (2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and the newer, faster 802.11g
(2.4GHz, 54Mbps) wireless standards. It's the best way to add wireless capability to
your existing wired network, or to add bandwidth to your wireless installation.
NOC-3610S EXT has high transmitted output power and high receivable sensitivity.
High output power and high sensitivity can extend range and coverage to reduce the
roaming between APs to get a more stable wireless connection.
To protect your wireless connectivity, NOC-3610 EXT can encrypt all wireless
transmissions through 64/128-bit EP data encryption and also supports
PA2/ PA/802.1x for powerful security authentication.
The MAC addresses filter lets you select exactly which stations should have access
to your network.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and
network configuration.

1.5 Applications
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list
describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) ifficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic
buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the
installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-
recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a
temporary LAN established and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can
access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where
frequently rearrange the workplace.
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small
network.
f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead
caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with
wireless LANs.
g) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for
mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
h) Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless
connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and
learning.
1.6 Network Configuration
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a
wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC
card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers
equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they

11b/g ireless Outdoor Multi-Client Bridge/AP Version 1.0
8
are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-
peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and
does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive
way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts
a network in ad-hoc mode.
b) Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this
mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via
the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet
network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of
independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively
doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below
depicts a network in infrastructure mode.

2 Understanding the Hardware
2.1 Hardware Installation
1. Place the unit in an appropriate place after conducting a site survey.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the AP port of the PoE Injector and the
other end into the Bridge/AP.
3. Place one end of another Ethernet cable into the Network port of the PoE Injector
and another end into your PC/Notebook.
4. Insert the DC-inlet of the power adapter into the port labeled “DC-IN” and the
other end into the power socket on the wall.
This diagram depicts the hardware configuration
2.2 IP Address Configuration
This device can be configured as a Bridge/Router or Access Point. The default IP
address of the device is 192.168.1.1 (Client Bridge mode), 192.168.1.2 (Access
Point mode). In order to log into this device, you must first configure the TCP/IP
settings of your PC/Notebook.
1. In the control panel, double click Network Connections and then double click on
the connection of your Network Interface Card (NIC). You will then see the
following screen.

2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on the Properties button. This
will allow you to configure the TCP/IP settings of your PC/Notebook.
3. Select Use the following IP Address radio button and then enter the IP address
and subnet mask. Ensure that the IP address and subnet mask are on the same
subnet as the device.
For Example: Device IP address: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2
PC IP address: 192.168.1.10
PC subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and once again to close LAN
properties window.
