System Requirements
Installation of the OW-2000 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-2000 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The
Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to OW-2000
unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to
improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
¾
This works great in areas where you may not have power , like
house roof.
¾
This also allows you to place the OW-2000 unit closer to the
antenna, to make installation easier more thus reducing signal
loss over antenna cabling.
¾
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal
doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
¾
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.
