This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The user's manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is needed. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user`s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 3 Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with emission limits. This EUT is incompliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. CAUTION 1. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meters from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. 2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 3. This equipment is only allowed to be professionally installed. 4 Preface This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages the Zinwell ZWA-G120 product hereafter referred to as the "device". To use this guide, you should have experience working with the TCP/IP configuration and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks. 5 Ch 1. ZWA-G120 Installation Packing List Before you start to install the device, make sure the package contains the following items ZWA-G120 Multi-Mode AP unit * 1 Power Adapter * 1 RJ-45 Cable * 1 Multi-Mode AP Power Adapter RJ-45 Cable Hardware Installation Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the device. You can use the wall mount hole on the bottom of the device to mount the device on the wall, or just put the device on the desktop. The administrator can refer to the figure below while constructing your WLAN environment. 6 PDA Internet ZWA-G120 (As AP) Ethernet Tablet PC ZWA-G120 (As Router) Broadband Modem NB 7 Ch 2. First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X (for WAN). Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment, otherwise it will cause abnormal situation. We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is for finding out the IP of the device. In case, you've forgot the IP of the device or the IP of the device has been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device is. Knowing the Network Application The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System) function. Access Point WDS (Wireless Repeater) Bridge/Router WISP AP Client The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the 8 communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the types of operation mode. Router The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP.
