When setting up the TEW-412APBO/TEW-413APBO inter-building AP/Bridge,
you will need the following:
1. A computer connected to the same network as the AP/Bridge.
2. Straight-through CAT 5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for connecting
the router to the network and an inline power source (maximum 100 meters).
3. The following information is needed from your network system administrator.
The wireless Service Set Identifier (SSID) for your radio network. This
parameter is case-sensitive.
A unique IP address for the router (for example: 192.168.2.123), if it will not
be connected to a network with a DHCP server.
A default gateway and subnet mask if the router is not on the same subnet
as your PC.

2. Connect and power up the AP/Bridge
English
Step 1 Assemble the mount kit at the back of the case. Please refer to the
attached figure in the mount kit tool bag for more details.
Step 2 Mount the AP/Bridge on a stout pole.
Step 3 Adjust the orientation of the antenna to get the maximum range (See
Figure 3.1). (Note: In some units, the directional flat panel antenna is
embedded within the enclosure; the best reception will be directly
through the front panel).
Step 4 Secure the unit in the position.

Step 1 Connect the Ethernet cable from the TEW-412APBO/TEW-413APBO
AP/Bridge to the port on the POE (Power over Ethernet) host (PH-
110 Power LAN 1 port hub) labeled P-LAN OUT.
Step 2 Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from the LAN-IN port of
the POE host to a spare port on the hub or a switch within the local
network.
The steps described above are summarized in the Figure 3.2.
Connect to the power source and the local network
In the next section, we will discuss the procedure to setup a computer on the
local network, so we can use it to configure the AP/Bridge.

3. Configuring a setup computer on the LAN
To configure the TEW-412APBO/TEW-413APBO for the first time, you should
prepare one computer for the TEW-412APBO/TEW-413APBO setup. The
operating system of this computer can be Windows, Linux, or MAC with the
standard browsers (e.g., Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0
or later).
The usual factory settings for the TEW-412APBO/TEW-413APBO are:
IP address: 192.168.1.250
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
This computer must be connected to the same LAN as the TEW-
412APBO/TEW-413APBO, and the network of this computer should contain
the following parameters:
IP address: A free IP address in the 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.253
EXCEPT 192.168.1.250
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: None
For example, under Microsoft Windows XP, the TCP/IP network settings page
would look like the following:
After setting these values on the LAN connected computer, the initial setup
process, as described in the next section can be started.
