ZPlus-B191-OD Cable connection ZPlus-B191-OD grounding wire connection Note: DON’T plug the power cord into PoE device to power on the system before you finish install the antenna and grounding wire to ensure the safety. You can follow the figure to mount the ZPlus-B191-OD quickly.
You can also mount the ZPlus-B191-OD on the wall to fit in your environment. In the ZPlus-B191-OD indoor part installation, if the RJ-45 cable’s length is not enough for you to link to your network device, you can extend the cable length, but you need to careful the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is 100M. When you plug the RJ-45 cable into the PoE device, you should use the normal RJ-45 cable to plug into the “DATA IN” to connect to hub/switch or use the crosslink Rj-45 cable to connect to user’s PC.
The simple composed figure shows in below for your reference.
3 Software Configuration 3.1 Enter web configuration page The default IP Address of ZPlus-B191-OD is 192.168.2.254 and Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. You need to configure your PC’s TCP/IP setting on the same segment to access the AP. For example： • IP address 192.168.2.X (X must between 1 and 253 that is not used by another device) • Subnet Mask 255.255.255.
3.3 Wireless LAN Setting 3.3.1 Basic settings 1. The “Alias name” let you can set this AP’s name, to distinguish each AP. 2. You can disable the wireless LAN interface by choosing this function. 3. ZPlus-B191-OD can support AP and Client modes; you can use the “AP” mode for normal function and “Client” mode to connect to another AP, like a standard wireless client. Note ： When you choice the client mode, you need connect by wired RJ-45 cable. 4.
7. In the “Associated Client”, you also can click the “Show Active Client” to see which client had connected to this AP. When you using the Client mode of the AP, you must connect by wired RJ-45 cable and can’t use the AP mode’s functions. This table shows the status of all clients that connected to this AP.
Each time you change the default setting successful, the page will show the successful message.
3.3.2 Wireless Advanced Settings In this wireless advanced settings page, you must configure it very carefully, because the default setting is almost optimized for the entire wireless LAN environment. Note ： Any unreasonable value change will reduce the throughput of the AP. 1. Authentication Type： you can choice the Open system or Shared Key or Auto, the default setting is “Auto”. 2.
3. RTS Threshold： This function is to prevent the low throughput from the hidden node of WLAN device. The default setting is disable(set the value to the maximum) 4. Beacon Interval： The interval time to send the beacon. The default value is 100ms. 5. Broadcast SSID： Broadcasting the SSID can let your client auto find this AP, if you disable the function, you must connect by manually write down the AP’s SSID in your client setting. 6. Int.
3.3.3 Wireless Security setup The default security setting is disable the encryption function, you can choice which the security you want. 3.3.3.1 WEP Encryption Setting When you use the WEP encryption, you can choice just set the WEP key or use the 802.1x Authentication.
When you decide to use the WEP encryption to secure your WLAN, the following explain the setting of the WEP encryption： 1. 64-bit WEP Encryption： 64-bit WEP key are the same with the encryption method of 40-bit WEP, you can input 10 hexadecimal digits {0~9},{a~f},{A~F} 2. 128-bit WEP Encryption： 128-bit WEP key are the same with the encryption method of 104-bit WEP, you can input 26 hexadecimal digits {0~9},{a~f},{A~F} 3.
3.3.3.2 WEP Encryption with 802.1x Setting When you use the WEP encryption, you can also use the RADIUS server to check the admission of the users. Then you can choice WEP 64 or 128 bit encryption to fit in with your network environment, the default Port is 1812, and in IP address field you need to specify the RADIUS server’s IP and the Password’s length is depend on your choice of WEP key’s bits.
3.3.3.3 WPA Encryption Setting When you choice the WPA encryption, you can use the WPA-RADIUS or Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. You also can enable or disable the TKIP. And the Pre-shared Key format has two choices, one is passphrase and other is Hex (64 characters). When you choice the WPA encryption, you can use the WPA-RADIUS or Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. You also can enable or disable the TKIP.
3.3.4 Wireless Access Control In this page you can have a simple firewall to prevent the unauthenticated customer to connect to our AP. 1. If you add the filtering MAC address to allow the connection, you must carefully do with the “Wireless Access Control”, when you enable the access control, you need to add the MAC address that be allowed to connect to the AP. 2. When you type in the MAC address, you can just key in the MAC address number. 3.
3.3.5 Wireless Site Survey When you enable the Client mode, you can use this page to discover the AP and connect to it by this function.
3.3.6 WDS Settings When you set up the WDS system, you should consider follow things: 1. ALL your ZPlus-B191-ODs must have the same channel. 2. ALL The ZPlus-B191-ODs and Clients device must at the same subnet network. 3. WDS system support both WDS device and client connection, if you want to let only the WDS devices to connect, you can enable the “Access control” function and don’t add any MAC address to the list. Then the system will automatic only allow the WDS device to connect. 4.
3.4 LAN Interface Setup This configuration is mainly for setting the ZPlus-B191-OD’s IP mode (Fix and DHCP) and DHCP Server setting. You can set the ZPlus-B190-OD’s IP by using the fixed IP or DHCP client. ZPlus-B191-OD also can support the DHCP Server for your network environment. ZPlus-B191-OD also supports the 802.1d spanning tree function. And you also can do the Clone MAC address to simulate other network device’s MAC address. 3.4.
3.4.2 Using DHCP Client You also can use the DHCP client mode to get the IP and other setting, but you must carefully to use this function. You need to know what IP that ZPlus-B191-OD will get or you can’t connect to the ZPlus-B191-OD’s web page.
3.4.3 Enable DHCP Server If you don’t have another DHCP server in your network, you can enable this function to support your network to make the network setting easier. You must setup follow setting: 1. DHCP Client range: 192.168.2.X (X:1~253) 2. DNS Server: to identify what DNS is usefully to you. When you finish the default setting, if you change the ZPlus-B191-OD’s IP, you have to re-connect the Web Server with the new address.
When you enable the DHCP server, you can see which client had been assigned the IP address. 3.5 WLAN AP Statistics This page shows the wireless statistics, the packet counters for transmission and reception regarding to wireless and Ethernet networks.

5 Wireless Connection Architecture IEEE 802.11 defines two types of network service： Infrastructure and ad-Hoc mode. You can select either one to fit your network environment. 5.1 Infrastructure mode ALL PCs, with wireless LAN card, connect to the AP that has been linking to the LAN and all the resource can be integrated or shared.
5.3 Wireless AP Functions Access Point can have different functions to make your network more effectively. 5.3.1 Access Point Mode In the Access Point function, you can connect the AP to the LAN with RJ-45 cable and PC can use the wireless LAN adapter to connect to this AP to share the resource and join to the network environment. In this function, you can use it indoor for normal using in wireless networking.
5.3.2 Access Point Client Mode (ad-Hoc) Using the Access Point Client function, you can have both the AP function and Client function. You can use the wire line connect to the LAN and use the wireless client “ad-Hoc” function to join to each other. 5.3.3 Access Point Client Mode (Infrastructure) Using the Access Point Client function in Infrastructure mode, you can connect to the LAN with wire line and can setup a Basic service set to let other client including the PC client and AP Client.
5.3.4 Wireless Repeater Wireless Repeater can extend the range of the wireless radio, and you can add the long range of the wireless group. 5.3.5 WDS (Wireless Distribution System) You can use the WDS function to connect to both of the AP and wireless LAN client.
5.3.6 Wireless Bridge You can use this function to connect two or more location (Point-to-Point, Point to multi-Point).
5.4 Selecting an appropriate site 1 Selecting an appropriate site for your Wireless Outdoor Bridge will ensure the best performance. 2 Avoid locating the Wireless Outdoor Bridge near metal objects such as appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washer/dryers. Keep in mind that your appliances may be on the other side of the wall in the area that you may be considering to locate the Wireless Outdoor Bridge.
