Introduction

The GWN7302 is an outdoor PtP/PtMP Fixed Wireless Bridge designed for Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) deployments in business and infrastructure environments. It enables stable, long-distance wireless links up to 5 km between remote locations with a clear line of sight.

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi access points, the GWN7302 is built for transparent Layer-2 bridging, allowing full extension of the local network across sites. It carries DHCP, VLAN, and management traffic just like an Ethernet cable.

With 5GHz directional antennas, 2×2:2 MIMO, and TDMA-based communication, it helps reduce interference and maintain consistent performance. The IP66-rated enclosure makes it suitable for outdoor deployment in locations such as construction sites, security camera poles, parking areas, and multi-building campuses.

Deployment supports:

• PtP Mode – One Master connected to one Slave
• PtMP Mode – One Master connected to up to four Slaves

The setup process is streamlined using:

• One-Key Pairing
• LED-based signal alignment
• Integrated Web UI, GWN App, and GDMS Cloud

Note: The GWN7302 is designed for infrastructure links and does not serve as a general Wi-Fi access point.

This manual includes full guidance for installation, setup, pairing, alignment, and management.

Warning Message: “When the traffic exceeds the configured threshold, the device will discard the excess traffic to prevent data flooding.”

Tip: This is useful when connecting the GWN7302 to networks with chatty devices or unmanaged switches that send unnecessary broadcast floods (e.g., IPTV, unmanaged camera systems).

DDNS

The DDNS page allows the GWN7302 to dynamically update a hostname record with its current IP address. This is essential for remote management over the internet when the WAN IP is dynamic (DHCP).

Field	Description
Enable DDNS	Toggles DDNS functionality. Must be enabled to configure the options below.
Service Provider	Select from supported DDNS providers: Oray, Dyndns, or No IP.
Username / Password / Domain Name	Your DDNS account credentials and domain to link with the device.
IP Source	Choose whether the DDNS provider receives the device’s internal IP (Device IP) or its external/WAN IP (Public IP).

Tip: Use Public IP for remote access scenarios (e.g., accessing the GWN7302 from the internet). Use Device IP only in VPN or internal deployments.

SNMP

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) page allows external network management systems to monitor and configure the GWN7302.
Supports both SNMPv1/v2c (community-based) and SNMPv3 (secure, user-based).

Field	Description
SNMPv1, SNMPv2c	Toggle to enable legacy SNMP versions.

This section shows the current connection platform status (e.g., GDMS Networking) and the connection status (e.g., Registered or Unregistered).
Users can run a full cloud diagnostic process by clicking Re-diagnosis, which checks several phases, including DNS resolution, TCP/TLS connection, and cloud WS(S) upgrade. The log result is displayed below for real-time visibility.
You can also Get Log to view it live or Export it as a downloadable file for deeper analysis.

External Syslog

This section allows forwarding of system logs to a specified external syslog server.
Enter the IP address or URL of the server, select the log severity level (Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, or Debug), choose the desired protocol (UDP or TCP), then click Save.

Remote Support

When enabled, authorize Grandstream support engineers to temporarily access device diagnostic data, logs, and configuration information. This service is for troubleshooting and maintenance purposes only, and no personal information will be collected. All remote access sessions are fully encrypted, and this feature will be automatically disabled after 48 hours.

Steps to Enable Remote Support

1. Go to: System Settings → Maintenance → Remote Support.
2. Click on the blue Remote Support button to initiate the session.
3. A login window will appear, prompting for the login password. Input your admin credentials and click OK to continue.

4. Once validated, the system activates remote access. A confirmation message will appear below the button stating: “Remote support is active and will automatically stop in 48 hours.”
5. At any time, you can manually terminate the session by clicking the Stop Remote Support button.

Important Notes:

• Remote Support is temporary and automatically expires after 48 hours.
• It cannot be activated without entering the admin password.
• This feature is exclusive to support and troubleshooting scenarios and should be used cautiously to minimize security risks.

Alerts

This section displays device alerts and allows users to configure email-based notifications for various alert types.

Alerts Tab

The Alerts tab lists all current and past system alerts, such as signal loss or failed SSID connections. Each entry includes:

• Content: Description of the alert (e.g., SSID not detected).
• Level: Severity of the alert (e.g., Urgent).
• Time: Timestamp when the alert was triggered.
• Action: Trash icon to delete individual alerts.

Users can:

• Delete one or all alerts.
• Mark all as read.
• Filter alerts by severity using the All Levels dropdown.
• Access the alert settings by clicking Alert Notification Settings in the top-right corner.

Email Notification

Enable this feature to receive alerts via email.

Email Notification toggle: Must be ON to activate alert emails.

Sender Configuration:

• From Email Address: Email address the alert will be sent from.
• From Name: Display name for the sender.

SMTP Settings:

• SMTP Username: Account used to authenticate the SMTP session.
• SMTP Password: Corresponding password for the SMTP account.
• SMTP Host: Outgoing mail server address (e.g., smtp.example.com).
• SMTP Port: Mail server port (default depends on encryption used).

Optionally, you can Skip Certificate Validation to send emails without SSL/TLS certificate checks.

Receiver(s):

• Receiver Email Address: One or more recipients (e.g., it@company.com). Multiple can be added.

Alert Notification Settings

Accessed from the top-right of either tab, this section lets users fine-tune what events trigger alerts and which ones should also be emailed, like Wi-Fi Disconnected, PoE Alarm, Device Upgrade Failed, etc.

Note: For the PoE Alarm, when the temperature reaches 110°C, the PoE output power will decrease. When the temperature reaches 115°C, the PoE OUT function will be disabled. When the temperature returns to 100°C, the PoE OUT function will be restored.

Alert Levels:

• Urgent Alerts: Critical conditions like Wi-Fi or LAN disconnects, or high CPU/memory/temperature thresholds.
• Severe Alerts: Upgrade failures or device disconnections.
• Normal Alerts: Device upgrades, connections, and password changes.

Each event can be toggled ON/OFF for web visibility, and optionally enable the Email toggle for remote notifications.

Operation Log

The Operation Log page records system and user actions performed on the device, such as login attempts, configuration changes, pairing actions, link tests, and spectrum analyzer operations.

Navigate to Web UI → System Settings → Operation Log.

The operation log table displays each record with the following information:

Field	Description
Time	Displays the date and time when the operation occurred.
Address	Displays the IP address of the client or device that performed the operation.
Detail	Displays a summary of the recorded operation, such as login success, login failed, link test, spectrum analyzer, or configuration update.

Use the date filter to display logs within a selected time range. The available quick filters include All Time, Today, This Week, and This Month.

Use the Detail search box to search for specific operation records.

Click the information icon next to a log detail to view more information about that operation, including the page name, operation type, operation content, and result.

Click Export to download the operation log as a CSV file.

Tools

Link Test

The Link Test measures throughput between the two devices.

Who Does What?

• Either device can be Server or Client, but recommended:
  • Master (Site A) → Server (easier to leave running).
  • Slave (Site B) → Client (initiates the test).

Note: Running the link test will temporarily affect the wireless transmission rate. A confirmation message will appear before proceeding.

On Master (Server):

• Go to Web UI → Tools → Link Test.
• Select iPerf Type = Server and click Start.
• Leave it running (listening).

On Slave (Client):

• Go to Web UI → Tools → Link Test.
• Select iPerf Type = Client.
• Enter the Server’s IP address (auto-filled in most cases).
• (Optional) Enable Bidirectional iPerf to test both directions.
• Click Start to begin.

Review Results:

• Throughput and stability will appear under Test Result.
• Stop manually when finished.

Antenna Alignment

The user can fine-tune the link quality using either method:

a) Using Web UI – Antenna Alignment Tool

1. Go to Web UI → Tools → Antenna Alignment.
2. Select the paired device from the list.
3. Click Start to monitor real-time signal strength.
4. Adjust the antenna angle until the graph shows the strongest (highest) dBm value.

b) Using Device LEDs

• Check the 3 Signal LEDs on the side of the unit.
• Rotate or tilt the device slowly until you reach 3 solid green bars for optimal signal.

For complete pairing and alignment instructions, refer to the GWN7302 Pairing Guide.

Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer runs a single scan of nearby 5 GHz channels to help you pick a cleaner channel (less interference).

How it works: Click Start to run one spectrum analysis.
To scan again, click again

How to read the results:

• Signal Strength (green bars): lower (closer to -85 dBm) is better (less interference).
• Channel Load (orange bars): lower is better, ideally below 10%.
• SSID Quantity: Fewer SSIDs usually mean a cleaner channel.
• Hover a bar to see channel details (timestamp, signal strength, channel load, SSID quantity).

Steps:

1. Go to Web UI → Tools → Spectrum Analyzer.
2. Click Start to run a single scan.
3. Review the chart and pick a channel with low load and better signal conditions.
4. If you change settings and want fresh results, click Start again.

Tip: Ideal conditions are Signal Strength below -85 dBm and Channel Load below 10% (these thresholds are shown on the chart).
