Overview 

The TAP-213 outdoor wireless AP/client is the ideal ruggedized wireless 
solution for railway onboard and train-to-ground applications such as 
CCTV and CBTC communications. It can provide speeds of up to 300 
Mbps with IEEE 802.11n technology. The TAP-213’s dust-
tight/weatherproof design is IP68-rated, and it can operate at 
temperatures ranging from   
-40 to 75°C, allowing you to extend wireless networks to outdoor 
locations and critical environments. 

Package Checklist 

The TAP-213 is shipped with the following items: 

 

1 TAP-213 

 

1 wall-mounting kit, which includes 2 plates 

 

1 plastic protective cap for LAN-1 X-coded port 

 

3 metal protective caps for LAN-2 fiber port, USB console port and 
ABC-02 USB storage port

Installation and Configuration 

Before installing the TAP-213, make sure that all items in the package 
checklist are included in the box. In addition, you will need access to a 
notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The TAP-213 
has a default IP address that you must use when connecting to the 
device for the first time. 

Step 1: Select the power source 

The TAP-213 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power-over-
Ethernet). 

Step 2: Connect the TAP-213 to a notebook or PC 

Since the TAP-213 is provided with the MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing 
capability, you can use either a straight-through cable or crossover 
cable to connect it to a computer. When the connection between the 
TAP-213 and the computer is established, the LED indicator on the TAP-
213’s LAN port lights up.
