1.4 System
Requirements
Installation of the OW-1000 Outdoor Wireless Access Point/Client Bridge requires
the following:
1.
A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer
（
PC system requirement：better
than PIII 800 or other 100% compatible equipment , OS：windows 2000/XP）
or Ethernet
data device with an available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the
configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the Ethernet
network.
2.
A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to Ethernet
network.
3.
An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The OW-1000 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The Inline Power
Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to OW-1000 unit via a signal
Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve the performance vs.
installation cost ratio.
This works great in areas where you may not have power , like house
roof.
This also allows you to place the OW-1000 unit closer to the antenna, to
make installation easier more thus reducing signal loss over antenna
cabling.
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal doesn't
do as well over antenna cabling.
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.
