Cha ter 1 Product Overview
DS-3WF03C-D is a powerful WIFI Bridge/AP/CPE device, which allows WIFI access and
video/audio/data transmission device, enables long-range, fast speed and robust
wireless connections. Integrated with Hikvision’s XTrans technology, DS-3WF03C-D has
the advantages of long-distance, high-throughput, and Strong anti-interference.
XTrans technologies include TDMA, 5M/10M/20M/40MHz bandwidth, intelligent rate
control, Auto ACK Time-Out Adjust and so on. TDMA technology solves the problems of
hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network. 5M/10M/20M/40MHz bandwidth can be
flexibly configured by the uses in different working scenario to achieve the best link
quality. Intelligent rate control algorithm can be adapted to quick channel quality
variations automatically, thus stabilizing the wireless throughput. ACK Time-Out Auto
Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the DS-3WF03C-D devices, and thus
adjust the wireless parameters to achieve the best wireless link quality.
The longest transmission range and max speed of DS-3WF03C-D can be as high as 5Km
and 300Mbps, making it suitable for many applications of WIFI Bridge/CPE, especially
have advantages for point-to-multi-point communication.

5/10/20/40MHz bandwidth, intelligent rate control, Auto ACK Time-out adjust. They
make the device have longer transmission distance, higher throughput and better point-
to-multi-point performance.
2. Longer transmission distance, higher throughput
The longest transmission distance of DS-3WF03C-D can be as far as 5 km, and the max
throughput can be 300Mbps. It can satisfy the needs of most of the applications.

3. Embedded hardware watchdog
DS-3WF03C-D is embedded with hardware watchdog, which is used to monitor the
working status of the device. Once the system is not working properly, the DS-3WF03C-
D device can be rebooted to guarantee the stability of the system.
4. Software Ping watchdog function
DS-3WF03C-D software ping watchdog function enable the device periodically ping
another device associated to, so that it can detect if the system is working well. If the
wireless link is lost or there is any problem, the device is rebooted. This is important
because the devices can be restored to work automatically if there is any problem, and
avoid the extra human labour to maintain the outdoor devices.

Cha ter 4 TDMA
Currently, most of the outdoor bridge products are developed based on 802.11
protocols, however, it has the limitations of short-distance, hidden node problems, and
poor point-to-multi-point performance.
XTrans technology is developed and patented by Hikvision, utilizing a series of advanced
technologies such as TDMA, 5M/10M/20M/40MHz bandwidth support, intelligent rate
control, Auto ACK Time-out Adjust, having the advantage of long transmission range,
high date rate and robust transmission.
TDMA technology solves the problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network
infra-structure. 5M/10M/20M/40MHz bandwidth can be flexibly configured by the uses
in different working scenario to achieve the best link quality. Intelligent rate control
algorithm can be adapted to quick channel quality variations, while stabilize the wireless
throughput, thus suitable for long-distance transmission. ACK Time-out Auto Adjust can
automatically detect the distances of the DS-3WF03C-D devices, and adjust the wireless
parameters to achieve the best link quality.
The TDMA setting is shown in the following figure.
Figure 4-1 TDMA Settings
To use the TDMA, the user needs to enable TDMA mode in the AP device, and set a
priority level in the station device. When several stations are connected to one AP,
different stations demand different throughput. If the station demands higher
throughput, its priority level can be set to High, otherwise set to Low. When the stations
demand the same throughput, their priority level can be set to the same level.
When using TDMA mode, the TDMA button need to be enabled at both AP and station
devices in the web-based configuration menu. The devices from other vendors cannot
be connected to DS-3WF03C-D in the TDMA mode.
