2 Setting Up Network

To fully take advantage of NovoPRO's capabilities, it should be properly deployed in a school or
corporate's network. Some aspects should be carefully considered and planned, for example, Wi-Fi
interference and channel selection and intranet firewall. In this chapter, these aspects will be
illustrated to facilitate a successful NovoPRO deployment in your network.

2.1 Network connection

NovoPRO has three network connection types, Ethernet, Wi-Fi Client, and Wi-Fi Hotspot.
A) Ethernet – NovoPRO can be plugged into your Ethernet via its RJ45 port. Namely, you
can connect NovoPRO to your organization's backbone network. It is recommended to
use Ethernet connection (when possible) since it gives you better robustness and higher
performance.
B) Wi-Fi – NovoPRO's built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi operates at dual bands (2.4/5GHz). With its
2T2R antenna, it can achieve a maximum bandwidth of 300Mbps
performance Wi-Fi module can operate at two modes.
a) Client Mode – NovoPRO can be connected to your organization's Wi-Fi network
via its built-in Wi-Fi module.
b) Hotspot Mode – NovoPRO can creates its own Wi-Fi network, allowing users to
connect their mobile devices to this ad hoc network. Users can still obtain
Internet access after connecting their mobile devices to the NovoPRO device.
The following table summarizes their feature difference and typical usage.
