Preface
This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages the Zinwell
ZW-2000 outdoor product hereafter referred to as the “device”. To use this guide, you
should have experience working with the TCP/IP configuration and be familiar with
the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks.

Ch 1. ZW-2000 Installation
Packing List
Before you start to install the ODU, make sure the package contains the
following items：
●Wireless Outdoor Bridge unit * 1
●Mounting Kit * 1
●Waterproof (IP67) RJ-45 Cable (30M) * 1
●Waterproof (IP66) RF Cable (1M) * 1
●Power Over Ethernet Kit * 1
●Ground Wire * 1
●2.5” /4” U bolts * 2 and Anchor * 4
●RJ-45 Cable (1.5M) * 1

Hardware Installation
Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the
ODU. You can mount to a pipe, a pole or to the side of a building. The steps
are showed in the following：
1. You must mount theODU into the bracket first.
Note: ALL the 4 screws had been tightened onto the ODU and
Bracket
2. You can use the 2 or 4 inches U bolt to mount on the pipe, depending onthe
radius of the pipe. (Wall mounting is referred to Wall Mounting Figure) The
two Ubolts must be mounted tightly. Be aware of notover-tighten the U bolt.

3. After checking the ODU is mounted well, you can connect the following two
cables: the Waterproof RJ-45 network cable to “P+ DATA OUT”port of ODU
and the RF cable to antenna port. Additional waterproof tool, such as
waterproof tape, is recommended to use to enhance the waterproof function.
It is suggested to have a lightening protector between antenna and antenna
port. Connect the ground wire as the figure of “ODU ground wire
connection.”
4. Plug the other end of the waterproof RJ-45 cable to the PoE device. The
PoE device is guaranteed only in indoor environment.

7
Caution: DON’T plug the power cord into PoE device before you finish install
the antenna and Ground wire to ensure the safety.
If the RJ-45 cable’s length is not long enough to connect to your network
device for indoor parts installation, you can extend the cable length.
However, make sure the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is shorter than
100M (about 109 yards) for normal operation under IEEE 802.3 standards.
When you plug the regular RJ-45 cable into the PoE device, you should use
the regular RJ-45 cable to plug into the “DATA IN” of “Power Over EthernetKit”
to connect to hub/switch or use the crosslink RJ-45 cable (Not included in the
Packing List) to connect with user’s PC.
The waterproof RJ-45 cable must be connected to the “P+DATA OUT” port.
Caution: Be careful! Don’t plug the two cables inversely. It will damage the
devices!
We recommend you refer to the following illustration as a guideline for
hardware installation.

Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser,
and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is
192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge
mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the device by both WLAN
(Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes,
the device can be accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP
addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN),
so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet
as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN).
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment,
otherwise it will cause abnormal situation.
We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is for finding out the IP of the
device. In case, you’ve forgot the IP of the device or the IP of the device has
been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even your
PC is not in the same subnet as the device is.
Knowing the Network Application
ZW-2000 can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) function.
lAccess Point
lWDS (Wireless Repeater)
lBridge/Router
lWISP
lAP Client
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device
can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication
mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the

9
types of operation mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and
the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2
NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN
port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access
the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify
the setting base on your ISP requirement.
Bridge
The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is
selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP ofyour wireless ISP and share the same public
IP address form your ISP to the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port of the
device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless radio to be client mode and
connect to the AP of your ISP then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to
meet your ISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub”for wireless clients
and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can
directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a
wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired
Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share
the same public IP address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to another
AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t
survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection.
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but
