As some of you may know, I am stuck in an area with limited internet access. Mainly dial-up but some "high-speed" in the school. I personally have satellite (1-way) access at home.

A friend of mine has gotten a T1 put into the school. He's also just been in an accident (he's ok, some bumps and bruises) and he can't get around to looking at the gear he had come in.

Neither of us have dealt with this type of equipment before and we have no idea exactly how it works.

The gear will likely be hooked up by a professional but I would love to have half a clue when the job gets done.

I have included some pics because other then the switch I don't know what the gear is.

Anybody got anything they could tell me about this equipment and how we might be able to hook up a wireless access point to it that would be available up to 1 kilometer away (direct line of sight distance to my house!)?

Thanks!
