Product introduction
Product overview
Designed to meet the needs of today’s most demanding wireless LAN deployments, the NP731 offers a solution to create a reliable
and scalable wireless network.
The NP731 is an outdoor device that will operate in access point, repeater and WDS bridge mode. Its rugged IP68-rated metal
housing is weatherproof, pressure balancing, water-tight and rust-resistant, making it an ideal solution for deployments in harsh
conditions, such as outdoor or industrial environments.
With its multi-mode set up, the device can be used in many instances to increase and enhance wireless coverage.

System concept
The NP731 has four modes of operation:
1. Repeater mode (default) –the NP731 repeats the wireless signal of your existing network to provide coverage to a greater
area of your premises.
Note: The NP731 can only rebroadcast the wireless network using the same band, i.e if the router is broadcasting on
2.4GHz, the NP731 can only repeat the signal on 2.4GHz. Additionally, if the router broadcasts on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
simultaneously, the repeater may only repeat one of those bands.
2. Access Point mode –the NP731 connects to an existing router via Ethernet and provides a wireless signal for wireless
devices. This is useful in situations where there is no existing wireless access point or where you wish to provide a wireless
signal to a remote area (up to 100 metres) from where the router is located.
Note: The NP731 provides wireless connectivity on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band but not on both bands simultaneously.
3. CPE mode –the NP731 connects wirelessly to a remote network and provides access to that network to clients
connected via Ethernet. Use of a switch is required for multiple clients.
4. WDS mode –the NP731 connects to up to 8 other NP731 units to create a wireless mesh network. This is similar to
repeater mode but in WDS mode, the NP731 uses a single MAC address to provide seamless roaming.

Hardware Installation
The following diagram illustrates the basic network topology that should be used for testing and configuration:
1. Connect the two Dual band antennas to the primary and secondary N-type antenna connectors on the NP731
2. Unscrew the weather seal from the PoE port and disassemble it so that it is in three parts.
3. Place the Ethernet cable through the bottom piece (A) first, as shown below.

4. Open the middle piece (B) and slide the Ethernet cable into it. Take care to orient the middle piece as shown below.
5. Place the third piece (C) over the top with the same orientation as shown below.
6. Connect the weather sealed end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the NP731. Screw part A onto the Ethernet
port of the NP731. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the P+D/OUT port of the PoE injector.
7. Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to the DATA/IN port of the PoE injector and the other end of the cable to a
computer.
8. Connect the power cord to the PoE injector and power it on.
Alternative configuration
When you have completed the configuration of the NP731, you can connect it to a PoE switch to provide power and data
connectivity. The following diagram illustrates the alternative network topology.
