OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING
!
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK!
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing.
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure that equipment or personnel do not come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO
MOVE IT . Instead, save your life by calling the power company.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO
ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.
This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:
DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power.
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.

Chapter 5. Configuring the AP
This chapter instructs you how to quickly configure the AP/CPE in different operation modes.
5.1 Operation Mode
On this page, you can select different operation modes of the AP depending on your application, including:
Operation Modes Description
Access Point
Client Bridge
Access Point mode is used to provide wireless connectivity to wireless clients. This mode is compatible with general wireless clients.
Client Bridge mode allows the Access Point to become a wireless client to associate to another AP thus enabling the wireless capability of wired clients.
WDS Access Point
In WDS Access Point mode, the device functions as a WDS bridge with Access
Point Mode. For WDS Access Point, it can be connected by same series of devices which using the WDS station mode. In this mode, the setting is same as Access
Point Mode.
WDS Bridge
WDS Station
In WDS Bridge mode, the device can bridge with remote LAN networks through
MAC address. This application can create two individual networks for two groups of users sharing one Internet. The advantage of WDS is the Layer 2 transparent bridging and broadcasting across wireless connections so that all connected network devices form one common broadcast domain.
NOTE: The WDS mode is a non-standard extension to the IEEE 802.11 standard, which implemented differently in wireless driver and firmware making them incompatible with each other. In order to use WDS, the same model of devices should be used.
In WDS Station mode, the device functions as a wireless client which can bridge the remote WDS Access Point with SSID. In this mode, the setting is same as Client
Bridge mode.
Client Router
Repeater
With Client Router (Wireless ISP) mode, the device can connect to a wireless network and share the Internet connection to the WISP subscribers.
On the LAN side, the device acts like a wired router for IP sharing function. In this mode, the wireless interface acts as WAN side.
Repeater mode is used to extend the wireless coverage with same SSID and security.
Go to “ System Operation Mode ” page to configure the device in the operation mode which is suitable for your application. Then go to “ Wireless Wireless Network ” to configure the related wireless settings of each mode.

Aggregation
When the length of a data packet exceeds this value, the device will send an RTS frame to the destination wireless node, and the latter will reply with a CTS frame, and thus they are ready to communicate. The default value is 2346. A small number causes RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often and consumes more bandwidth.
Specify the distance between the master AP and slave AP. Longer distances may drop high-speed connections.
A part of the 802.11n standard that allows sending multiple frames per single access to the medium by combining frames together into one larger frame. It creates the larger frame by combining smaller frames with the same physical source, destination end points, and traffic class (QoS) into one large frame with a common MAC header. This option reduces the number of packets, but increases packet sizes.

If you find the AP is working improperly or stop responding to you, please read this troubleshooting first before contacting the Planet Tech Support for help. Some problems can be solved by yourself within very short time.
Scenario Solution
The AP is not responding to me when I a. Please check the connection of the power cord and the want to access it by web browser.
Ethernet cable of this AP. All cords and cables should be correctly and firmly inserted to the AP. b. If all LEDs on this AP are off, please check the status of power adapter, and make sure it is correctly powered. c. You must use the same IP address section that AP uses. d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter? Try to connect the
AP by another computer and see if it works; if not, please reset the AP to the factory default settings (Press the ‘reset’ button for over 10 seconds). e. Set your computer to static IP address, and see if the
Planet Smart Discovery can find the AP or not. f. If you did a firmware upgrade and this happens, contact the
Planet Tech Support for help. g. If all the solutions above don’t work, contact Planet Tech
Support for help.
I can’t get connected to the Internet. a. Check the Internet connection status from the router that is connected with the AP. b. Please be patient. Sometimes Internet is just that slow. c. If you have connected a computer to Internet directly before, try to do that again, and check if you can get connected to Internet with your computer directly attached to the device provided by your Internet service provider. d. Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password in your router again. e. Call your Internet service provider and check if there’s something wrong with their service. f. If you just can’t connect to one or more website, but you can still use other internet services, please check
URL/Keyword filter. g. Try to reset the AP and try again later. h. Reset the device provided by your Internet service provider. i. Try to use IP address instead of hostname. If you can use
IP address to communicate with a remote server, but can’t use hostname, please check DNS setting.
