10 2 Before you Begin This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP350 is essential to maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid placing the EAP350 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell. 2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation Generally, the exact operating distance of a wireless device, like the EAP350, cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown variables or obstacles in the environment in which the device will be deployed. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, elevator shafts, stairwells, or other objects that the device's wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the EAP350 to have optimal wireless range.  Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP350 and other network devices to a minimum.  Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.  Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum studs may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the EAP350. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and/or brick can also diminish wireless signal strength.  Interference from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the EAP350’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

11 2.2 Computer Settings (in Windows XP/Windows 7/Windows 8) In order to use the EAP350, you must first configure the TCP/IPv4 connection of your Windows OS computer system.  Click Start button and open Control Panel in Windows XP/Windows 7 Windows XP Windows 7  Move your mouse to the lower right hot corner to display the Charms Bar and select the Control Panel in Windows 8 Windows 8

12  In Windows XP, click Network Connection  In Windows 7 and Windows 8, click View Network Status and Tasks in the Network and Internet section and then select Change adapter settings.  Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.  Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then select Properties.

13  Select Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is different from the EAP350 and subnet mask then click OK. Note: Ensure that the IP address and subnet mask are on the same subnet as the device. For example: Device IP address: 192.168.1.1 PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.255 PC subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

14 2.3 Computer Settings in Apple Mac OS X  Go to System Preferences (can be opened in the Applications folder or selecting it in the Apple Menu).  Select Network in the Internet & Network section.  Highlight Ethernet.  In Configure IPv4, select Manually.  Enter an IP address that is different from the EAP350 and subnet mask then press OK. Note: Ensure that the IP address and subnet mask are on the same subnet as the device. For example: Device IP address: 192.168.1.1 PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.255 PC subnet mask: 255.255.255.0  Click Apply when done.

15 2.4 Hardware Installation 1. Ensure that the computer in use has an available Ethernet (RJ-45) Port. For more information, verify with your computer’s user manual. 2. Connect one end of the Category 5e Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port of the EAP350 and the other end to the RJ-45 port of the computer. Ensure that the cable is securely connected to both the EAP350 and the computer. 3. Connect the Power Adapter DC connector to the DC-IN port of the EAP350 and the Power Adapter to an available electrical outlet. Once both connections are secure, verify the following: a) Ensure that the POWER light is on (it will be blue). b) Ensure that the WLAN light is on (they will be blue). c) Ensure that the LAN (Computer/EAP350 Connection) light is on (it will be blue). d) Once all lights are on, proceed to set up the EAP350 using the computer.

Once you have entered the correct username and password, click the Login button to open the web-base configuration page.  You will see the following webpage if login successfully.

19 4 Building a Wireless Network The EAP350 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP350. 4.1 Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, EAP350 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EAP350. The EAP350 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access. 4.2 WDS AP Mode The EAP350 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EAP350 using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses. 4.3 WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP350 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each EAP350 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to

20 use the EAP350 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree setting (see 6.3 Spanning Tree Setting, below) to prevent this from happening. 4.4 Repeater mode The Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate signals from a wireless router or other access point/station that is unable to reach certain areas in a building. When this mode is activated in the EAP350, the EAP350 receives the wireless signal from an existing router or AP and relays it to other devices within its range so they can join the network.
