1.1Introduction

ThisusermanualcoverstheoperationoftheAltum

operationarecontrolledwithawebbaseduser

interfacethatisrunfromanystandardwebbrowser.

Thismanualisorganizedthesamewayaspresented

ontheradiowebinterface.AftertheLoginand

Languagesections,thefollowingsectionscorrespond

tothetop‐leveltabs:Status,System,Services,and

WebBrowser:MozillaFirefox,GoogleChrome,Apple

Safari,orMicrosoftInternetExplorer8orabove.

1.5GettingStarted

Beforeestablishingalinkseveralparametersmustbe

configuredusingthewebinterface.Toaccesstheweb

interface,performthefollowingsteps:

1. Connectthelocalareanetwork(LAN)portof

theradiotothePoEportofthePoEInjector

usingaCat5eEthernetcable.PlugthePoEinto

theACpowersource.TherightmostLEDon

theradioshouldilluminate,indicatingtheunit

isbootingup.

2. Connectthenetworkportofyourcomputerto

thePoEinjectornetworkportusingaCat5e

Ethernetcable.

3. AssigntheEthernetadapteronyourcomputer

withastaticIPaddressonthe192.168.1.x

network,e.g.192.168.1.10andwithasubnet

mask255.255.255.0.

4. LaunchawebbrowserandenterthedefaultIP

addressoftheradio,192.168.1.1,intothe

addressbar.Theradio'sconfigurationweb

1.6OperatingModes

Theradiocanoperateinthefollowingmodes:

1. AccessPoint/Master.

2. Station/Client.

3. AccessPointWDS.

4. StationWDS.

Awideareanetwork(WAN)isanetworkthatcoversa

broadarea.Theworld'smostpopularWANisthe

Internet.

Inacommonlyusedsetup,theWANportofanaccess

pointconnectstoamodemviaanEthernetcable.A

modemcanbeacable,digitalsubscriberline(DSL),or

fiberopticmodem.Amodemtranslatesthesignal

fromtheinternetserviceprovider(ISP)toEthernet

signalsthattheaccesspointcanunderstand.This

allowstheaccesspointtohaveinternetconnection.

Otherdevicescalledstationsconnectwirelesslyto

thisaccesspoint.ThesedevicescanbeotherAltum

radios,mobilephones,printers,IPcameras,laptops.

Thestationsobtaininternetconnectionfromthe

accesspoint.

AnaccesspointWDSandastationWDStogether

extendthewirelesscoverage,likearepeater.More
