1.4.1 Antenna Mast Requirements 1.4.3 Antenna Alignment To accommodate the outdoor antennas, the antenna mast must satisfy the following requirements: a. The construction of the mast must be of a sturdy, weatherproof and no corrosive material like for example galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe. b. Typical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in.) and 41 mm (1.625 in.). Subject to the type of antenna that you intend to install other diameters may be possible as well. c.

Chapter 2. Network Topologies This section describes several main types of installations commonly implemented using the Outdoor Wireless Router/Bridge System (RB). This is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations, but rather shows examples of some of the more common implementations.

2.2 Remote Wireless Router-to-Central Wireless Bridge 2.3 Remote Wireless Bridge-to-Central Wireless Router 1. Set the Central RB as a bridge (bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1). 1. Set the Central RB run as a Wireless Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, Ethernet Interface IP is 192.168.2.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet interface, default route is 192.168.2.254). 2. Set Wireless parameters on Central RB: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless). 3.

2.4 Remote Wireless Router-to-Central Wireless Router Chapter 3. Web Access Web Connection The SendFar Outdoor Wireless Access Router/Bridge (RB) supports access to the configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface (web browser). Before configuring the RB, you need to know the IP Address assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP Address (192.168.2.1) was assigned to the RB by default. To start a web connection use: http://192.168.2.1/ 1.

And then the web configuration user interface screen appears. Figure 3-1 Current Network Status Web Access Procedure Once you identify the IP Address assigned to your OWRB, use your web browser to configure the OWRB through the HTTP Interface. Figure 3-3 The following procedure explains how to configure each item. 1.

Professional Installation Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain directional antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as a point-topoint system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP, require professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and the end user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-to-point system.
