User Manual
FAQ
What wireless standards does this bridge kit support?
The TRENDnet TEW-740APBO2K kit operates on the IEEE 802.11n wireless standard, providing up to 300 Mbps throughput on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This technology offers improved range and reliability compared to earlier 802.11g standards, making it suitable for outdoor point-to-point applications where consistent connectivity is essential.
Does this kit include Power over Ethernet support?
Yes, each access point includes a PoE PD (Power Device) port that accepts power through the included proprietary PoE injectors. These injectors deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power outlets at mounting locations. The kit does not include standard 802.3af/at PoE support.
What is the antenna gain and how does it affect performance?
Each access point features a built-in 10dBi directional antenna that focuses wireless signal in a specific direction rather than radiating equally in all directions. This directional characteristic increases effective range for point-to-point connections while reducing interference from other wireless devices. The higher gain improves signal strength over distance compared to omnidirectional antennas.
Is this equipment suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the access points feature IP56-rated weatherproof housing that protects against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. This rating ensures reliable operation in rain, snow, and temperature extremes. The included mounting hardware, rubber seals, and grounding wires provide complete outdoor installation components for various mounting surfaces including walls and poles.
What wireless modes are supported by these access points?
These access points support five operational modes: Access Point for creating wireless networks, WDS Bridge for connecting two wired networks wirelessly, WDS Access Point for extending wireless coverage, WDS Station for connecting to another WDS device, and Client Bridge for connecting wired devices to a wireless network. This flexibility allows deployment in various network architectures.
What compliance certifications does this product have?
The TEW-740APBO2K is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. and Canadian government procurement. It also meets NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) requirements. The product comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is manufactured in Taiwan, with all necessary documentation and support materials included in the package.
