Installation Requirements
• Clear line of sight between GigaBeam AP and station
• Vertical mounting orientation
• Mounting point:
• At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
• For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of
thetower
• Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and
shielded RJ45 connectors are required for all wired Ethernet
connections.
• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.
We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,
model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device and the other at
the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb
power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning
protection, follow your local electrical regulatory
codes.

Configuration
The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to
automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, it will use
the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.20. Proceed to the
appropriate section, DHCP or “Fallback IP Address”:
DHCP
Use one of the following methods:
• Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to
the device based on its MAC address (on the label).
• Let the device obtain an IP address and then check the
DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.
1. Connect a computer to your network and configure the
Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address
on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
2. Launch your web browser. In the address field, type:
https://192.168.1.20
Then press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
https://192.168.1.20
3. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the
Terms of Use to use the product. Click Continue.

4. Enter a Username and Password, confirm the Password, and
click Save.
5. Click the icon.
6. Configure the following settings:
a. For one device, enable Access Point mode. For the other
device (the Station), keep Access Point disabled.
b. Enter a name in the SSID field. This must be the same on
both the AP and the Station.
c. In the WPA2 Preshared Key field, enter a combination of
alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, or a-z).
Note: The key is an alphanumeric password
between 8 and 63 characters long.
7. Click Save Changes.

8. Configure each device (AP and Station) with a unique IP
address:
a. Click the icon.
b. Review the Network settings to ensure that each device
has a unique IP address. Each can get its IP address via
DHCP, or use a static IP address.
• DHCP By default DHCP client is enabled; if there is a
DHCP server on your network, the device will receive
its address via DHCP.
Note: If DHCP client fails, the device will use the
fallback IP address: 192.168.1.20
• Static Select this option to disable the DHCP client
and enter a static IP address.
c. Click Save Changes.

Fallback IP Address
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is
connected to the same LAN as the GigaBeam.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in
the address field, and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
https://192.168.1.20
