LED indicators
| LED indicators | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Solid on | The device is powered on properly. |
| Off | The device is not powered on or not powered on properly. | |
| PoE/LAN | Solid on | The port is connected properly, but no data is transmitted. |
| Blinking | Data is being transmitted over the port. | |
| Off | The port is not connected, or not connected properly. | |
| LED1, LED2, LED3 (Received signal strength indicator) | Solid on/ Blinking | The |
Base Station is successfully bridged or connected to other devices.
• Solid on The Base Station works in AP, Repeater, P2MP, or Router mode.
• Blinking: The Base Station works in Client, Universal repeater, or WISP
mode. Each LED indicator is set with a received signal strength value, which
is the threshold for the corresponding LED indicator to light up. You can
judge the connection quality through the status of these indicators. The
default values are shown below.
You can change the values on
the Wireless > Advanced page in the web UI of the Base Station.
Off| No device is connected to the Base Station in a wireless manner, or the
received signal strength does not reach the minimum value (-90dBm by default)
for any LED indicator to light up.
Port/button
| Port/Button | description |
|---|---|
| GND | Grounding terminal. |
Use a grounding cord and included a grounding screw to connect
the grounding terminal to the earth or building for surge and lightning
protection.
Reset| Reset Button.
When the Power LED indicator lights solid cc, hold down this button for about
8 seconds then release it when all the LED indicators light up. The Base
Station is reset successfully.
PoE/LAN| 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation port for both power input and data
transmission.
You can use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better Ethernet cable is recommended)
to connect this port and the PoE injector for the power supply. The length of
the Ethernet cable should not exceed 60 meters.
Install the device
Tips
The Base Station can work with the dish, sector, or another antenna (purchased
separately). If you purchase the IP-COM antenna, or this Base Station fits the
bracket of the antenna you purchased, you can choose bracket mounting to
install the Base Station; otherwise, you can choose pole mounting.
Bracket mounting
-
Press the handle on the mounting bracket, align the four hooks on the rear panel of the Base Station with the four slots on the bracket, and slide the Base Station to fix it onto the bracket.
-
Remove the plastic screw caps on the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
-
Connect one side of two RF coaxial cables (enclosed with the antennas) to the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
-
Connect the other side of the RF coaxial cables to the connectors of the antenna.
Pole mounting
-
Use a screwdriver to loosen the metal strap by turning the screw counter-clockwise.
-
Straighten out the end of the metal strap, and thread it through the back of the Base Station. Then wrap the metal strap around the pole, and tighten the strap by turning the screw clockwise using the screwdriver.
-
Remove the plastic screw caps on the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
-
Connect one side of two RF coaxial cables (enclosed with the antennas) to the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
-
Connect the other side of the RF coaxial cables to the connectors of the antenna.
Grounding
Connect the GND terminal of the Base Station to a grounding terminal connected to the earth or building to protect the Base Station from overvoltage and overcurrent caused by lightning and ESD.
- Connect one side of a grounding cord to the included grounding screw.
- Connect the grounding screw to the GND terminal of the Base Station, and tighten it.
- Connect the other side of the grounding cord to the grounding terminal connected to the earth or building.
P2MP connection with Omni-directional antenna
The Base Station in AP mode can provide a WiFi network, allowing home users or
small office users to connect to the WiFi network with outdoor long range
CPEs. The Base Station can work with some IP-COM CPEs. MS-5AC is used for
illustration here.
Option 1: Automatic bridging (recommended)
Tips
- Automatic bridging is only applicable when the Base Station and CPE are in factory settings.
- Ensure that only the Base Station and one CPE are powered on when performing peer-to-peer bridging. Otherwise, peer-to-peer bridging may fail.
- For peer-to-multiple peers bridging, perform peer-to-peer bridging first, and then power on the rest CPEs within 30 minutes. Otherwise, the bridging may fail.
- It is recommended to bridge one Base Station to 20 CPEs at most.
Step 1: Prepare a Base Station and 20 CPEs (MS-5AC), and put all MS-5AC
near the Base Station.
Step 2: Choose one MS-5AC to perform peer-to-peer bridging with the Base
Station.
- Place the Base Station and the MS-5AC next to each other.
- Remove the covers of the Base Station and MS-5AC, and use Ethernet cables to connect their PoE/LAN ports to the PoE ports of the PoE injectors.
- Use the included power cords to connect the PoE injectors to power sources. The PoE/LAN LED indicators of the Base Station and MS-5AC light up.
About 1 minute later, when
the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of the Base Station light solid on and
those of the CPE keep blinking, the automatic bridging succeeds. The DHCP
servers of the Base Station and MS-5AC are disabled. MS-5AC works in Client
mode and its IP address is changed to 192.168.2.2.
Step 3: Within 30
minutes after the peer-to-peer bridging succeeds, power other MS-5AC on.
Step 4: About 1 minute later, if the LED1, LED2, and LED3 of these CPEs keep blinking, the bridging succeeds.
After the bridging succeeds, the DHCP servers of the CPEs are disabled, and the IP addresses of CPEs working in Client mode are all changed into 192.168.2.2.
Option 2: Manual bridging
Refer to the configuration procedures in Scenario 1: PtP backhaul connection
with dish antennas to set the Base Station to the AP mode, and set all MS-
5AC to Client mode.
FAQ
Q1: I cannot log in to the web UI of the Base Station by entering
192.168.2.1. What should I do?
A1: Try the following methods:
- Ensure that the Base Station has been connected to the power source and the computer properly.
- Ensure that the IP address of the computer is set to 192.168.2.X (X ranges from 2 to 254 and is unused).
- Restore the Base Station to factory settings.
Q2: How to reset the Base Station?
A2: Note: Resetting the Base Station clears all settings, and you need to
configure it again.
Method 1: When the Power LED indicator lights solid on, hold down the
Reset button for about 8 seconds, then release it when all the LED indicators
light up. The Base Station is reset successfully.
Method 2: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station, choose Tools >
Maintenance, and click the Reset button.
Q3: How to check that the Base Station is under the best connection
status?
A3: Method 1: Observe the signal strength LED indicators of the Base
Station. The connection quality reaches the best when the LED1, LED2, and LED3
indicators of the Base Station light solid on or blink.
Method 2: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station (the default IP
address is 192.168.2.1), check the bridging status in Status > Wireless
Status.
Stronger signal strength (-60 dBm is better than -70 dBm), less background noise (-100 dBm is better than -90 dBm), and fast transmit/receive speed lead to better bridging signal.
Q4. The automatic bridging fails. What should I do?
A4: Try the following solutions:
- Peer-to-peer bridging: If the peer-to-peer bridging fails, reset the Base Station and CPE to factory settings, and try again.
- Peer-to-multiple peers bridging: After peer-to-peer bridging succeeds, ensure that the rest CPEs are powered on within 30 minutes. If the problem persists, reset the Base Station and all CPEs, and try again.
Q5. When the bridging succeeds, the LED1, LED2, and LED3 indicators do not
light up or only some of them do. What should I do?
A5: Try the following solutions:
- Place the Base Station and the CPE in an elevated location with few obstacles nearby.
- Make slight direction adjustment of the Base Station by moving it vertically and horizontally. Change the direction with an interval of 20 – 30 s each time in order to observe the change of LED1, LED2, and LED3 indicators until the best signal is received.
