Before You Begin
Considerations for Wireless Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process.
Placement of the Siselectron SWE 2220 is essential to maximize
the Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing the SWE 2220 in an
enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
• Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door an d / or
aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the SWE 2220. Locate your wireless device s
carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or o pe n
doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water
(example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can al so
diminish wireless signal strength.
• Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances
• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the SWE 2220
and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling
can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal
strength.
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be
pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the
number,
thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that
the SWE 2220’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the
signal. Here are some key guidelines
for allowing the SWE 2220 to
have an optimal wireless range during setup.
that generate RF noise can also diminish the SWE 2220’s signal
strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or
cordless pho ne s.

The SWE 2220 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the SWE 2220.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the SWE 2220 behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/ g/n networks. The
stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the SWE 2220. The
SWE 2220 supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access.
14

WDS AP Mode
The SWE 2220 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the SWE 2220 using WDS technology. In
this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to
four (4) AP MAC addresses.
15

WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWE 2220 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each SWE
2220 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to
use the SWE 2220 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point because Access Points linked by WDS use the same frequency channel. More
Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can also be susceptible to generate endless network
loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from happening. You can find
information about the Spanning Tree Function on page 31.
