Chapter 1. System Overview 1.1 Introduction The 802.11 b/g compliant Airlink101® APO1000/APO1010 is an outdoor wireless access point that can be used for five different purposes in three different modes. In the AP mode, it can be deployed either as traditional fixed wireless Access Point(AP), or combination of AP and WDS(AP+WDS). In the WDS mode, it’s only used to expand or bridge Ethernet networks and deployed as a main base, relay based or remote base station. In the CPE (Customer Pre

1.2 System Concept The APO1000/APO1010 is not only designed and used as traditional outdoor AP, but also with rich features tailored for WISP applications. The two-level management capability and access control ease WISP and owners to maintain and manage wireless network in a more controllable fashion. Main applications are listed as follows with illustration: 1. Wireless CPE for Multi Dwelling Unit/Multi Tenant Unit (MDU/MTU) complexes including apartments, dormitories, and office co

APO1000/APO1010 APO1000/APO1010 Configuration in WDS Mode (Pure WDS) An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base station is typically connected to a wired network via the Ethernet port. A relay base station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote base stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections from wireless clients and pass data upwards to a network wirelessly. In this
