ŸQuick Installation Guide
Note:
The TEW-840APBO does not support IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standards. You must use the
proprietary/passive power over Ethernet injector that is supplied with the TEW-840APBO. This
installation guide will walk you through the installation and configuration of two TEW-840APBO
access points to establish a wireless point to point bridge using WDS (wireless distribution
system). The RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the passive PoE injector and access point can have
a maximum length of up to 60 m (197 ft.).

2. Hardware Setup and Configuration
Phase 1: Overview
In this installation guide, we will assume the following:
The TEW-840APBO access points will be configured with the following settings:
Router Settings:
Router/Default Gateway IP address: 192.168.10.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
TEW-840APBO #1
IP Address: 192.168.10.50
Netmask (Subnet Mask): 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway (Default Gateway): 192.168.10.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.10.1
Wireless Channel Default: 48
WDS Access Point Mode (CSMA)
WPA2-PSK Encryption
WDS Station Mode (CSMA)
TEW-840APBO #2
WPA2-PSK Encryption
IP Address: 192.168.10.51
Netmask (Subnet Mask): 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway (Default Gateway): 192.168.10.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.10.1
Wireless Channel Default: 48
Note:
Ÿ Configure and connect the access points before mounting.
Ÿ The initial configuration should be completed in a testing environment with two
TEW-840APBO access points approximately 15 ft. (5 m) apart from one another with the
front of the access points directly facing each other.
Ÿ The configuration example in this guide will use the default/standard TEW-840APBO channel
access mode CSMA. More details can be found in the user's guide about TDMA channel
access mode which is also supported by the TEW-840APBO wireless AP.
Ÿ The default IP address of the TEW-840APBO is 192.168.10.100. To configure the
TEW-840APBO, your network adapter must have an IP address within the 192.168.10.x
subnet (e.g. 192.168.10.10). Please refer to the Appendix in the User's Guide for more
information.
