Introduction

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Exterior Access

Point with Power Over Ethernet.

The Linksys Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power

Over Ethernet lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or

Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network so you

can add PCs to the network with no cabling hassle. This

weather-proof Access Point creates a “wireless bubble” in

exterior spaces, like patios, pool areas, and outdoor cafés.

Power over Ethernet support makes it easy to install, and

you can create multiple SSIDs that connect to individual

VLANs to keep your traffic separated.

It’s also perfect for use as a bridge, a kind of “cable-less

cable” to connect remote areas together. Maybe your

warehouse is in a separate building from your offices. Or

maybe you need to connect the separate buildings of a

college campus. With one Wireless-G Exterior Access Point

on each building, you’re connected with no cable to run.

The exterior-rated case protects the access point, and

contains an internal antenna.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Exterior

Access Point with Power Over Ethernet supports both

Wired EquivalentPrivacy (WEP) and the industrial-strength

wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA),

encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful

encryption. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly

who has access to your wireless network, and advanced

logging keeps you appraised. Configuration is a snap with

the web browser-based configuration utility.

The Linksys Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power

Over Ethernet is the best way to add wireless access to the

outdoor areas of your home or business.

Planning Your Wireless Network

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 2:

Planning Your Wireless

Network

Network Topology

A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped

with one or more wireless adapters. Computers in a

wireless network must be configured to share the same

radio channel to talk to each other. Several PCs equipped

with wireless cards or adapters can communicate with

each other to form an ad-hoc network without the use of

an access point.

Linksys wireless adapters also provide access to a wired

network when using an access point or wireless router.

An integrated wireless and wired network is called an

infrastructurenetwork.EachwirelessPCinaninfrastructure

network can talk to any computer in a wired or wireless

network via the access point or wireless router.

An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility

of a wireless PC to a wired network, and may double the

effective wireless transmission range for two wireless

adapter PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data

within a network, the effective transmission range in an

infrastructure network may be doubled (depending on

antenna characteristics).

Roaming

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities

for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your

wireless PC within your network and the access points

will pick up the wireless PC’s signal, providing that they

both share the same wireless channel, SSID, and wireless

security settings.

Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio

channel and optimum access point position. Proper access

point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will

greatly enhance performance.

NOTE: Spanning Tree Protocol should be

disabled on the switches connecting to the APs

to allow roaming to work without disruption.

Network Layout

The Access Point has been designed for use with 802.11g

and 802.11b products, such as the Notebook Adapters

for your laptop computers, PCI Adapters for your desktop

PCs, and USB Adapters.

These wireless products can also communicate with a

802.11g or 802.11b Wireless PrintServer.

To link your wired network with your wireless network,

connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any

switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE

injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12.

NOTE: 12 VDC on WAPPOE12 is for the splitter

output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDC

power output.

Go to the Linksys website at www.linksys.com for more

information about wireless products.

Example of a Simple Wireless Network

Example of Simple Wireless Network

The above diagram shows a typical infrastructure

wireless network setup. The Wireless Access Points are

connecting to a Linksys switch that provides power to

the Access Points. Each Access Point can connect multiple

wireless devices to the network. This network will provide

connectivity among wireless network devices and PCs

that have a wired connection to the switch.

The switch then can connect to a router that can connect

to an ISP for Internet access.

Product Overview

Front Panel

The Access Point’s LEDs, where information about network

activity is displayed, are located on the front panel.

Front Panel

Power (Green) The Power LED lights up when

the Access Point is powered on.

Wired (Green) The Wired LED lights up when

the Access Point is successfully connected to a

device through the Ethernet network port. If the

Wired LED is flashing, the Access Point is actively

sending to or receiving data from one of the

devices over the Ethernet network port.

Wireless (Green) The Wireless LED lights up

when the wireless module is active on the Access

Point. If the Wireless LED is flashing, the Access

Point is actively sending to or receiving data from

a wireless device.

Bottom Panel

The Ethernet network port is located on the bottom panel

of the Access Point.

Bottom Panel

Ethernet network port The Ethernet network

port connects to Ethernet network devices, such

as a switch or router. The Access Point is powered

using Power Over Ethernet. If the switch or router

doesn’t support Power Over Ethernet, then a

Power Over Ethernet Injector must be installed.

Top Panel

The antenna port is located on the top panel of the Access

Point.

Top Panel

Antenna Port The Access Point has built-in,

1x2 MIMO 9dBi directional antennas. It also has

a reverse polarity female N-type antenna port

for an optional, high-gain external antenna

such as the HGA9N. One of the two internal

antennas will be disabled automatically when

an external antenna is connected.

Back Panel

The Access Point’s Reset button and ground are located

on the back panel.

Reset button

Ground

Back Panel

Reset Button There are two ways to Reset the Access

Point’s factory defaults. Either press the Reset button, for

approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults using

the Access Point’s web-based utility.

IMPORTANT: Resetting the Access Point will

erase all of your settings (including wireless

security, IP address, and power output) and

replace them with the factory defaults. Do not

reset the Access Point if you want to retain these

settings.

Ground Before you mount the Access Point, you must

ground the Access Point (to a large piece of metal) as a

precaution against electric shock.

The Antenna Pattern

The Wireless-G Exterior Access Point uses 1X2 MIMO (1Tx,

2Rx) so it has two built-in antennas. The right antenna is

the main antenna for Tx traffic. When an external antenna

is attached, the right antenna is disabled and the external

antenna is used for Tx traffic. Currently, only the HGA9N

(9dBi omni-directional antenna) is compatible with the

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point.

Right Antenna Pattern

3dB BW: 50 degree, peak gain: 6.3 dBi

Left Antenna Pattern

3dB BW: 63 degree, peak gain: 4.9 dBi

Radio Coverage of the Access Point to Client Devices

When using the Access Point to connect client devices,

adjust it so the client devices are on the same horizontal

plane as the Access Point and within a 3dB angle of

50 degrees. This will ensure the strongest signal and

maximum reach.

If the Access Point is used inside a building, put it in a

corner of the building for maximum coverage.

Access Point to Access Point (bridging) Radio Coverage

If the Access Point is used as a bridge or repeater, adjust

the Access Points so they face each other, this will ensure

the strongest signal and maximum reach.

Make sure that the orientation of the two Directional

Antennas is the same. The radio wave is polarized so a 90

degree rotation will result in no received power.

Due to its directional characteristics, the internal antenna

is ideal for point-to-point bridge mode or the spoke

side of point-to-multipoint bridge mode. An external

omni-directional antenna (e.g. HGA9N) is recommended

for repeater mode applications.
