A-6000 High Speed, Long Range Ethernet Wireless Bridge

Chapter 3 Initial Setup

This chapter explains how to perform the initial A-6000 setup and gives an overview of WEB menus.

3.1 Network Topology Planning

The A-6000 is designed to build up a secure Inter-building wireless communication system between offices’ Ethernet connection. Your A-6000 can be applied for Point to Point (PTP) application. The A-6000 consists of basestation unit (BU) and remote unit (RU). The A-6000 basestation unit can communicate with one A-6000 remote unit for PTP connection on the air. The network topology for PTP wireless connection is shown below.

Figure 3-1A-6000 Networking Topology

The networking operation mode of A-6000 is bridge mode. The bridge mode supports only the PTP connection. You have to appropriately configure your A-6000 Basestation unit and Access Client for normal operation according to your network topology and requirements before physical installation.

3.2 Configure A-6000

This guide shows you the default factory configuration of A-6000 and how to configure the A-6000 for appropriate operation at the first time. See the User’s Guide for configuration details.
