Chapter 1. System Overview
1.1 Introduction
The 802.11 b/g compliant Airlink101® APO1000/APO1010 is an outdoor wireless access point that can be used for five
different purposes in three different modes. In the AP mode, it can be deployed either as traditional fixed wirelessAccess
Point(AP), or combination ofAP and WDS(AP+WDS). In the WDS mode, it’s only used to expand or bridge Ethernet networks
and deployed as a main base, relay based or remote base station. In the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) mode, it
connects to Wireless Internet Service Provider’s (WISP) outdoor network via wireless WAN gateway to access to Internet. In
the Client Bridge + Universal Repeater mode, it connects to Wireless Internet Service Provider’s (WISP) outdoor network via
wireless or wired bridge to access to Internet
The die-cast sealedAPO1000/APO1010 is compact in size and compliant with IP68 weatherproof standard. It comes with a
mounting kit to mount on pole or wall. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage with its 500mW output power, which is
higher than a typical indoorAP (100mW).
Features:
1. Access Point : It can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless Access Point
2. Repeater: To expand wireless service by repeating priorAP
3. WDS : It can be used to expand Ethernet network via wireless WDS Link
4. AP+WDS: Not only to extend Ethernet network, but also provide wireless access to the expanded network
5. CPE (Customer Premises Equipment): It is a wireless gateway with NAT and DHCP Server functions to connects to
Wireless Internet Service Provider's (WISP)
6. Client Bridge + Universal Repeater : It is a wireless repeater or bridge to connects to Wireless Internet Service
Provider's (WISP)

1.2 System Concept
The APO1000/APO1010 is not only designed and used as traditional outdoor AP, but also with rich features tailored for WISP
applications. The two-level management capability and access control ease WISP and owners to maintain and manage
wireless network in a more controllable fashion. Main applications are listed as follows with illustration:
1. Wireless CPE for Multi Dwelling Unit/Multi Tenant Unit (MDU/MTU) complexes including apartments, dormitories, and
office complexes.
2. OutdoorAccess Point for school campuses, enterprise campuses, or manufacture plants.
3. Indoor Access Point for hotels, factories, or warehouses where industrial grade devices are preferred.
4. Public hotspot operation for café, parks, convention centers, shopping malls, or airports.
5. Wireless coverage for indoor and outdoor grounds in private resorts, home yards, or gulf course communities.

1.3 Applications in Wireless Network
APO1000/APO1010 is a multiple mode system which can be configured either as a wireless gateway or an access point as
desired. It also can be used as WDS link for Ethernet network expansion. This section depicts different applications in AP
Mode, WDS Mode, and CPE Mode and Client Bridge + Universal Repeater Mode.
Configuration in AP Mode (including Access Point + WDS)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base station is typically connected to a wired
network via the Ethernet port.Arelay base station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote
base stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections from wireless clients and pass
data upwards to a network wirelessly.
ÎExample 1 : Access Point without WDS

ÎExample 2 : Access Point with WDS
9It can be deployed as a tradition fixed wirelessAccess Point and provides WDS link to expand network

Configuration in WDS Mode (Pure WDS)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base station is typically connected to a wired
network via the Ethernet port.Arelay base station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote
base stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections from wireless clients and pass
data upwards to a network wirelessly. In this mode, it can support single or multiple WDS links and no wireless clients
can associate with it though.
