1 Introducing the ZyAIR
The following Quick Installation Guide gives information on the hardware connections and mounting of
your ZyAIR B-5000.
The ZyAIR Outdoor Access Point & Bridge provides excellent wireless performance. The ZyAIR extends
the range of your existing wired network without any additional wiring efforts. The ZyAIR gives you the
flexibility of being able to use one device for either of these powerful functions.
As an Access Point (AP), the ZyAIR can be used to allow wireless stations to access your wired
LAN. The ZyAIR also offers highly secured wireless connectivity to your wired network with
IEEE 802.1x, WEP data encryption and MAC address based access control. It is perfect for
providing outdoors broadband Internet access. The excellent RF performance means that the users
do not need to be inside the same building or even in the same block.
The ZyAIR can also function as a bridge or router to provide a wireless backbone connection
between two or more buildings.
Rugged die-cast, watertight construction, built-in lightening protection, and grounding make the ZyAIR
perfect for outdoors applications.
It is easy to install and configure the ZyAIR. The embedded web-based configurator includes a wireless
link test that helps you to align the device. The web-based configurator and SNMP network management
feature allows remote configuration and management of your ZyAIR. The Power over Ethernet (PoE)
feature means that power can be delivered to the ZyAIR over an Ethernet line. This allows you to mount the
ZyAIR in areas where there are no nearby power sources.
The following chapter introduces application examples of what you can do with your ZyAIR.
