RG-AP630 (IDA&IODA)
The RG-AP630(IDA) is built-in with a directional antenna
while the RG-AP630(IODA) is built-in with an
omnidirectional antenna. The two product forms have the
same appearance and are identified as RG-AP630(IDA) and
RG-AP630(IODA), which are indicated on product labels and
nameplates. Starting from the B8 version,
AP630(IDA)(802.11a/n/ac and 802.11b/g/n, Integrated
Directional-Antenna) and AP630(IODA)(802.11a/n/ac and
802.11b/g/n, Integrated OmniDirectional-Antenna) are named
in software.
The AP630 (IDA&IODA) is built-in with an antenna used to
provide wireless network coverage in many outdoor
scenarios. The product supports switching between built-in
and external antennas when it needs to provide coverage as
a bridge AP or when it is connected to another bridge AP over
a long distance.
The product has a built-in surge protection module offering
protection to network ports and feeder interfaces, Thereby
removing the need to install an external surge protector.
The AP630 does not have a DC power supply module and
requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) as a power supply. Even
if customers deploy optical fibers, they need to configure the
PoE+ module as a power source or install an optical-to-
electrical converter.
The AP630 supports the use of power sourcing equipment
(PSE) and has the PoE OUT interface receiving power from
an external PoE+ device (in this case, a 60 W PoE adapter
module is required).

The AP630 has three 2.4 GHz feeder interfaces on one
side and three 5 GHz feeder interfaces on the other side,
which can be used to connect to an external antenna.
A 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz external antenna that supports triple
spatial streams can be directly connected to the
corresponding interfaces in a random sequence.
A 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz external antenna that supports dual
spatial streams must be connected to Interface 1 and
Interface 2 of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (set the receive/transmit
value to 3 and adjust the modulation and coding scheme
[MCS] to dual spatial streams mode, 11n 15 and 11ac 19).
A 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz external antenna that supports a
single spatial stream must be connected to Interface 1
of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (set the receive/transmit value to 1
and adjust the MCS to single spatial stream mode, 11n 7
and 11ac 9).

Wired Direct Connection Topology –Coverage (IDA)
STA
Network features:
In a wired direct connection topology, access points
(APs) are directly connected to a switch or an
access controller (AC) via cables.APs are mainly
used to provide wireless network coverage.
The built-in antenna of anAP can provide wireless
network coverage in many outdoor scenarios. The
choice of a built-in directional antenna or a built-in
omnidirectional antenna depends on the actual
condition (a built-in omnidirectional antenna is not
recommended because its installation height is
limited and it is vulnerable to interference).
In a spacious environment, a built-in directional
antenna can provide 2.4 GHz, 250 m (or 5 GHz, 200
m) coverage. The coverage distance will be slightly
reduced in actual deployment, depending on the AP
installation height and angle and the presence of
obstructions.
Application scenarios: outdoor environments such as
streets, schools, enterprises, and squares
Disadvantage: Each AP must be connected to a
network via a network cable or optical fiber.
STA

Wired Direct Connection Topology –Coverage (IODA)
STA
Network features:
In a wired direct connection topology,APs are
directly connected to a switch or an AC via cables.
APs are mainly used to provide wireless network
coverage.
The built-in omnidirectional antenna of an AP can
provide coverage in a spacious environment such
as a square. The recommended installation height
is 3–5 m. If theAP is installed too high or too low,
the coverage effect and user experience will be
affected.
In a spacious environment, a built-in
omnidirectional antenna can provide 2.4 GHz, 150
m (or 5 GHz, 100 m) coverage. The coverage
distance will be slightly reduced in actual
deployment, depending on the AP installation
height and angle and the presence of obstructions.
Application scenarios: outdoor environments such
as streets, schools, enterprises, and squares
Disadvantage: Each AP must be connected to a
switch via an optical fiber or network cable.
STA

Non-Wired Direct Connection Topology –Point-to-
Multipoint WDS Bridging (IDA)Network features:
APs are connected in wireless mode.
That is, two or more fixed local area
networks (LANs) are interconnected
through bridgeAPs.
In a WDS bridge network, one root
bridge can be connected to four non-root
bridges at most.
The root bridgeAP and other bridgeAPs
must have the same model.
A radio frequency (RF) card operates
either in bridge mode or coverage mode.
If a bridge AP also needs to provide
coverage, it is recommended that its 5
GHz external antenna be used for
bridging whereas its 2.4 GHz built-in
antenna be used to provide coverage (in
this case, the AP performance will be
reduced).
Disadvantage: In a point-to- multipoint
bridge network, the performance of the
root bridge is evenly shared by other
bridges, resulting in reduced
performance.

Non-Wired Direct Connection Topology –
Multihop WDS Bridging (IDA)
Network features:
In a multihop bridge network, each node
(hop) forwards data through two APs (which
are connected by a network cable).
The 5 GHz RF card is recommended for
bridging because the 2.4 GHz RF card is
vulnerable to interference and has low
performance.
BridgeAPs in a point-to- multipoint bridge
network can also provide wireless coverage,
but the AP performance will be reduced.
The network has six APs forming three hops.
Currently, the AP630 supports up to five
bridge hops formed by 10 APs.
Advantage: Engineering is convenient and
no cables are required.
Disadvantage: If anAP in a multihop network
fails, the whole network will crash.

Wired Direct Connection Scenario –Coverage (IDA)
Application scenarios: outdoor squares, beaches, downtown areas,
and stadiums
Installation conditions:
It is recommended that APs be installed on poles (with a
diameter of 80–100 mm).
The installation height of a built-in directional antenna can be
adjusted based on the actual condition. It is recommended that
the antenna installation height be not smaller than 4 m in order to
deliver good coverage effect and meet security and antitheft
requirements.
When a built-in directional antenna is installed on a pole 4–5 m
high (vertical relative to the ground), adjust the angle between
the antenna and pole to 0–5°. When the antenna is installed on a
pole with 5–7 m high, adjust the angle between the antenna and
pole to 5–10°. When the antenna is installed on the roof of a
three- to four-storied building, adjust the angle between the
antenna and pole to 10–15°. When the antenna is installed on a
pole attached to a high building to provide downward coverage,
adjust the angle between the antenna and pole based on the
coverage area and distance. For example, if the building is 50 m
high, it is recommended that the angle between the antenna and
pole is 30–40°(the recommended angle is for reference only and
subject to changes based on the actual condition).
Note:Avoid upward antenna coverage in outdoor scenarios, and
do not use outdoorAPs to provide indoor coverage.
