Page 51: Chapter 4. Application Notes
Chapter 4. Application Notes 4.1. Point-to-Point Installation One of the main applications for 600AG serial is to connect two points wirelessly to save the cable cost or overcome certain geographical difficulty to have wire between two points. The figure illustrates a typical point-to-point connection of two buildings a distance apart. The outdoor APs can act as bridges to connect two points in the same net scope, or act as routers to join two different subnets together. -
Page 52: Point-To-Multi Point Installation
4.2. Point-to-Multi Point Installation Point to Multi-Point application suggest enable Bandwidth Control Function to set UL & DL transmit bandwidth link rate. -
Page 53: Bridge Mode
4.3. Bridge Mode Bridge mode is used when connecting two points in the same net scope. Here, the LAN of 192.168.1.0/24 is used as example to demonstrate how to configure two APs for point to point connection in bridge mode. The figure is the topology for this point to point connection with appropriate IP addresses for APs and PCs. -
Page 54: Router Mode
4.4. Router Mode When using point to point to connect two LANs together, router mode configuration is required. The setting of router mode point to point is similar to that of bridge mode, but need to be careful with the setting of IP addresses and gateway to let the data packet be able to go the desired way. - Page 55 IP addresses, ESSID, operation frequency and swap AP/AC. It is recommended to set MAX RF Distance when the distance between the two 600AG serials is greater than 7km. - 600AG serial is set as a router, so each interface (Ethernet and wireless) needs to have its own IP addresses.
-
Page 56: Hard Reset To Factory Default
- 600AG serials are operating in router mode so it is necessary to set WAN interface with appropriate gateway. In this example, because the data packet is only going from one PC to another, 600AGs set each other as default gateway. -
Page 57: Firmware Upgrade
4.6. Firmware Upgrade As device always strives to achieve total customer satisfaction, new features and functions are designed from time to time. To have these new functions in your 600AG serial, you will need to upgrade the firmware. Please note before performing firmware upgrade: - Certain versions of firmware are non-interoperable with other versions. - Page 58 Use the space bar to move the cursor. Press ESC and save the change before exit SMT-12. Make sure the firmware image file, for example 600-v1_011.img, is in your TFTP upload/download directory. Then go to SMT-33 Firmware Upgrade.
- Page 59 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server, 192.168.1.11 and the firmware image file 600-v1_011.img in the fields indicated in the circles. Do use the exact file name because it is case sensitive. Move the cursor to the last selection “Upgrade new firmware? “ and press “Y” to begin firmware upgrading.
- Page 60 Please press “N” to make the cursor active again. Double check if the TFTP server is up and set in the same net scope with the AP. Also check if the firmware image file is in the appropriate directory and all the fields in SMT-33 are entered correctly. Alternatively, firmware can be upgraded with FTP.
