1.4 Network Topology
MAP-3100s can be used to create two network topologies: a closed network or an Internet
access network that attaches to a network with connectivity to the Internet.
In a closed network infrastructure, as shown in figure below, all devices are configured to
operate in the same mode (Relay mode). This network configuration is suitable for
applications where the clients using the mesh only need to communicate with each other and
do not need to access the Internet or other remote network resources that are not directly
connected to the mesh.

Page 10 of 97
An Internet access network, as shown in figure below, is typically used to provide Internet
availability to a number of clients that connect to the mesh network. Alternatively, this
configuration can be used to provide access for client devices to remote resources on a
private network. There must be one or more gateway devices in such infrastructure that
provides access from the mesh network to an external network.
Note
1. The MAP-3100 supports 5 operating modes. Three for Layer 3, two for Layer
2.
2. At Layer 3 mode, multiple Gateways are allowed. At Layer 2 mode, only one
Gateway is allowed.
3. At the view of Mesh backhaul network, Layer 2 mode and Layer 3 mode
device can not co-existing to each other.

1.5 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating
coverage of MAP-3100.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate MAP-3100 and wireless clients away from
transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and
other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients
as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced.
It is suggested to carry out a site survey prior to installation to determine what devices are
operating in the two bands that the MAP-3100 uses. To detect the presence of other
802.11 devices, a tool such as Network Stumbler
(http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/) can be used.
2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every
environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is
hard to determine the exact operating range of MAP-3100 in a specific location without
testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundled antenna of MAP-3100 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing
straight up, then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal
reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the
antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of MAP-3100 can be replaced with other external
antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want
to use, and make sure it can be used on MAP-3100.

2Hardware Installation
2.1 Procedures
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information
about the MAP-3100.
1. Locate an optimum location for the MAP-3100. Plan for the output frequency of the
MAP-3100, 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
2. Assemble the antennas to MAP-3100 follow the frequency band plan. Try to place them
to a position that can best cover your wireless network. The antenna’s position will
enhance the receiving sensitivity. When installing antenna(s), follow these general tips:
For most elevated antenna installations, we recommend you to ask the
professional installers for proper installation and safety.
For the safety reasons, you are recommended never to touch a high-gain
antenna when it is transmitting or point it at any part of your body.
Please, follow carefully the instructions with your antenna.
Keep antennas away from metal objects / obstructions (heating and
air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major
power cabling runs).
Use a directional antenna when you establish a link between two buildings. A
directional antenna must be properly aligned to the point at the other antenna,
line-of-sight.
Locate an omni-directional antenna in the middle of the desired coverage area if
possible.
Place the antenna as high as possible to increase the coverage area.
Outdoor antennas should be mounted at a sufficient height to prevent the radio
path from above the obstructions such as trees and buildings.
Antenna towers should keep a safe distance from overhead power lines. The
recommended safe distance is twice the tower height.
3. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the LAN port of MAP-3100 to a
10Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the management station to a
hub or switch on the same LAN.
4. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on MAP-3100 and plug the other end to a wall
outlet or power strip.
Note
.
ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the MAP-
3100. Otherwise,
the product may be damaged.
.
The LAN or WAN / Public port of MAP-3100 / MAP-3120/MAP-3020
supports 802.3af POE. The pins for supplying the electricity are 1, 2,
3, 6. If the MAP-3100 is powered from POE, you can skip the step 4
above.
.
If IEEE802.3af is the planned power source, Only one is allowed, i.e.
either LAN#1 or WAN/Public port. Connect two IEEE802.3af power
sources to the system at the same time will make the device
malfunction permanently.

Gateway
(MAP-3100 only)
Layer 3 Gateway Mode. In a Mesh network Gateway mode is the
path to the Internet for the whole Mesh network behind.
WAN port is active and will be used for Internet Connection. Three
types of Internet connection will be available, please refer to
section 3.3.2 for more.

Page 19 of 97
Relay
(MAP-3100 only)
Layer 3 Relay Mode.
Relay mode can help to route between mesh
backhaul and local WiFi/LAN network. Also, a Relay mode Mesh
AP can help to route the packets from other Relay node to the
destination IP subnet or Gateway.
WAN port is disabled at this mode. At the same time no WAN
setting is required.
Client-Relay
(MAP-3100 only)
Layer 3 Client-Relay Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh node can only route between local
WiFi/LAN network to mesh backhaul. It will not help to route
packets from other Relay node. This mode can be used to reduce
the unnecessary routing especially if this Mesh node is in the edge
of the whole mesh topology.
Layer 2 Gateway Layer 2 Gateway Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh AP can be viewed as a bridge. This bridge
can bridge between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul, and WiFi. As a
Gateway, the WAN interface will turns into the public bridge port
that connects to the existing Ethernet network.
Be noted, only ONE Gateway is allowed in the same Mesh
network.
Layer 2 Relay Layer 2 Relay Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh node act as a mesh relay that can bridge
between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul and WiFi.
i. Click on “Apply”button if you have made any changes. New settings are active after
the device reboot.
Note For MAP-3000, if set to Layer 2 mode without any change to the IP settings,
it will still remains at its default IP address instead of change to 192.168.0.1
that is being used for MAP-3020 by default.
If you plan to set your MAP-3000 to Layer 2 mode, remember to write down
the default IP address before you reboot the system.
