Product Description 1.2
Flexible and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics
With the standard IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WBS-202N and WBS-502N (outdoor
wireless CPE) can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. The outdoor wireless
CPE is definitely suitable for wireless IP surveillance, and bridge link of building to building and backbone of
public service. Additionally, the self-healing capability keeps connection alive all the time. With the IP55-rated
outdoor enclosure, the outdoor wireless CPE can perform normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning
it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor environments
Designed for Various Requirements
The outdoor wireless CPE is specially designed for long-distance outdoor surveillance and wireless backhaul
solutions that are capable of establishing stable bridge connection through the embedded antenna. To provide
maximum performance, the outdoor wireless CPE can implement up to 8 operation modes where a multitude of
applications in communities, warehouses, campuses, harbors, etc. can be made.

Multiple SSIDs with VLAN Tagging
The outdoor wireless CPE supports WPA/WPA2, and the 802.1X RADIUS authentication to secure the wireless
connection. Besides, the supported IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple
SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access. This makes it possible for the outdoor wireless CPE to work with
managed Ethernet switches to have VLANs assigned to a different access level and authority.
3 Simple Steps to Set Up WDS
Without needing to enter the Web interface for configuration, the outdoor wireless CPE needs three simple steps
to establish the WDS PtP connection without any difficulty. By just clicking the Pair button on the WBS-202N and
within 2 minutes, you can connect two WBS-202Ns without complicated configuration.

Optimized Efficiency in AP Management
The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the outdoor wireless CPE
step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel
overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control
and scheduling reboot setting, the outdoor wireless CPE is easier for the administrator to deploy and manage
without on-site maintenance. Moreover, you can simply use PLANET AP controller and SAPC (Smart AP
Control), to deliver wireless profiles to multiple APs simultaneously, thus making the central management
simple.
