Minimum Requirements
ŸComputer with a network port and web browser
ŸA network switch or router with an available network LAN port
ŸAdditional TEW-740APBO H/W: v2.xR wireless N300 directional access point
Ÿ4 x RJ-45 network cables
Note:
It is recommended to use network cables without additional caps, molded caps, or boots with
the access points for cable fitment inside the enclosure.
Note:
The TEW-740APBO does not support IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standards. You must use the
proprietary Power over Ethernet injector that is supplied with the TEW-740APBO. This
installation guide will walk you through the installation and configuration of two TEW-740APBO
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
Note:
Ÿ The default IP address of the TEW-740APBO is 192.168.10.100. To configure the
TEW-740APBO, 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.
Ÿ The initial configuration should be completed in a testing environment with two
TEW-740APBO access points approximately 15 ft. (5 m) apart from one another with the
front of the access points directly facing each other.
ŸConfigure and connect the access points before mounting.
Phase 1: Overview
In this installation guide, we will assume the following:
Router Settings:
Router/Default Gateway IP address: 192.168.10.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
The TEW-740APBO access points will be configured with the following settings:
TEW-740APBO #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): 1
WDS AES Encryption
TEW-740APBO #2
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

WDS AES Encryption
In this example, we will assume the device use the following MAC addresses:
TEW-740APBO #1 MAC Address: 00:11:22:33:44:00
TEW-740APBO #2 MAC Address: 00:11:22:33:44:11

Phase 2: TEW-740APBO Unit #1 Hardware Setup and Configuration
1. Remove the cover of the access point by pulling and holding the tab in the vertical direction
upward (based on the access point orientation below) and sliding the cover in the two
locations noted below away from the access point.
Pull and hold tab
2. Write down the MAC address (WiFi MAC) of the TEW-740APBO #1 access point. The MAC
address (WiFi MAC) can be found on the inside of the device cover where the Ethernet LAN
ports are located (shown below).

3. Ground Wire and Pole Mount Installation
1. Locate the grounding point located in the bottom section of the enclosure. Using a Phillps
screwdriver, remove the grounding point screw (counter clockwise) and attach the included
grounding wire to the grounding point screw. Reattach the ground screw (clockwise)
along with the grounding wire. After installing the grounding wire, remove another tab on the
enclosure by gently bending back and forth until the tab is removed. This will create the
opening for the ground cable to be routed through.
Note: The ground wire may need to be cut and extended using additional ground wire in order
to reach a proper grounding point.

2. Re-install the cover by lining up the guides into the notches as shown and push the cover
down until the cover clips in and is secure.
3. Insert the included fasteners through the holes located at the back of the access point.
4. Wrap the fasteners around the pole where the access points will be installed. On the
fasteners, insert the open end into the locking mechanism and pull tight until the access
point is secured.
5. After the access points are properly mounted, you can connect the grounding wires to the
proper ground points and RJ-45 cables from each access point to your network.
