Description
Management Mode
Standalone: In this mode, each device is configured and
managed individually. It can be useful in scenarios with few
devices or sites with limited Internet access.
RUDDER: In this mode, devices are configured and managed
from a central controller hosted in the cloud. It offers many
more sets of features as compared to the Standalone mode.
Operation Mode
Bridge: In this mode, the device connects to a network over an
ethernet cable and extends the coverage over wireless.
Router: In this mode, the device connects to Internet Service
Provider directly using DHCP / Static IP / PPPoE protocols and
shares Internet access over a wired or wireless network to
users.
Quantum® RUDDER
Quantum® RUDDER is a cloud-hosted controller which can be
used to configure, manage & monitor devices associated with
it. It can be accessed from https://rudder.qntmnet.com

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This
