ZWA-G192 outdoor 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.
Chapter 1 - ZWA-G192 Installation Packing List Before you start to install the ODU, make sure the package contains the following items： z z z z z z z z z Wireless Outdoor Bridge unit * 1 Mounting Kit * 1 Waterproof (IP67) RJ-45 Cable (30M) * 1 Waterproof (IP66) RF Cable (1M) * 1 Power Over Ethernet Kit * 1 Ground Wire * 1 2.5” /4” U bolts * 2 and Anchor * 4 6 dBi omni directional antenna * 1 (separated package) RJ-45 Cable (1.
RJ-45 Cable 6 dBi omni directional antenna 2.5” /4” U bolt and Anchor Hardware Installation Once you check off everything from the package, you can start to install the ODU. You can mount to a pipe, a pole or to the side of a building. The steps are showed in the following： 1. You must mount the ODU into the bracket first. Note: ALL the 4 screws had been tightened onto the ODU and bracket 2. You can use the 2 or 4 inches U bolt to mount on the pipe, depending on the radius of the pipe.
3. Wall Mounting Figure After checking the ODU is mounted well, you can connect the following two cables: the Waterproof RJ-45 network cable to “P+ DATA OUT” port of ODU and the RF cable to antenna port. Additional waterproof tool, such as waterproof tape, is recommended to use to enhance the waterproof function. It is suggested to have a lightening protector between antenna and antenna port. Connecting the ground wire as the figure of “ODU ground wire connection.” ZPlus-G192-OD Cable Connection 4.
Caution: DON’T plug the power cord into PoE device before you finish install the antenna and Ground wire to ensure the safety. If the RJ-45 cable’s length is not long enough to connect to your network device for indoor parts installation, you can extend the cable length. However, make sure the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is shorter than 100M (about 109 yards) for normal operation under IEEE 802.3 standards.
Chapter 2 - First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure There are two interfaces to configure the device, one is web-browser interface, and the other is 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).
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 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.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) This mode serves as a wireless repeater, the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection. WDS+AP This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the device.

Configure DEV1: 1. Connect the ADSL modem to Ethernet port of device using Ethernet cable. 2. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the wireless station. 3. Use Wizard page to setup device. 4. Press “Next>>” button then set the “Operation Mode” to “Router” mode. 5. Press “Next>>” button then disable “Time Zone” function. 6. Press “Next>>” button then set the IP address of LAN interface.
7. Press “Next>>” button then select the “PPPoE” for “WAN Access Type” and fill in the “User Name” and “Password” fields. 8. Press “Next>>” button then select the “AP+WDS” for “mode” and change the SSID to “ZPlus-G192-DEV1”. 9. Press “Next>>” button then select “None” for “Encryption” then press “Finished” button.
10. Wait for refreshing web page. 11. Use “WDS Settings” page to configure WDS. 12. Enable WDS function and add the BSSID of DEV2 to “Current WDS AP List”.
13. Since we access the device by wireless connection, it may temporarily disconnect when applying the WDS setting. After re-connecting to the device, use the “Status “ page to check the settings.
Configure DEV2: 1. Access the web server (http://192.168.2.254) of device from the Ethernet port. Caution If you configure multiple devices in the same PC, since the devices have the same default IP address but different MAC addresses, it may cause you can’t access the web server of device. If the situation happens, please try to clean the ARP table of your PC by DOS command “arp –d” then you can access the web server of device using the default IP address. 2.
