Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Introducing the EKI-6311g
The EKI-6311g is fully interoperable with IEEE 802.11b/g compliant
Outdoor Wireless Last-mile product. The EKI-6311g operates in AP mode
or remote bridge mode, and connects to EKI-6311g CB to construct
point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint topologies, for maximum
flexibility in configuring building-to-building networks and WISP
functions.
1.2 Product Features

（Ingress Protection） level covering IP67.
RF transmit power 802.11b mode @ 11Mbps data rate
RF transmit power 802.11g mode @ 54Mbps data rate
Support 48VDC 0.375A Power-over-Ethernet（PoE）
MIB-I support
MAC address based access control
Hint: IP（Ingress Protection）
1.3 Package Contents
The product package contains the following items.
1. One (1) EKI-6311g Outdoor Wireless Access Point unit
2. One (1) 100~240VAC, 50~60Hz AC to 48V/0.38A DC switching
adapter
3. One (1) 48VDC, 0.38A Inline Power Injector (PoE)

1.4 System Requirements
Installation of the EKI-6311g Outdoor Wireless Access Pointunit requires
the following:
1. A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer （ PC system
requirement：better than PIII 800 or other 100% compatible equipment , OS：
windows 2000/XP ） or Ethernet data device with an available
RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the configuration program or with
TCP/IP connection to the Ethernet network.
2. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to
Ethernet network.
3. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The EKI-6311g is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The
Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to EKI-6311g
unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to
improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
This works great in areas where you may not hav e power , like
house roof.
This also allows you to place the EKI-6311g unit closer to the
antenna, to make installation easier more thus reducing signal
loss over antenna cabling.
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal
doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.

► Mount EKI-6311G on A Wall/Mast
The EKI-6311G can be mounted on the wall, you can use the W all Mount
kit to mount the EKI-6311G as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2
Y ou can also mount the EKI-6311G to the mast as shown in Figure 2-3.

2.3 Preparing Installation
Before installing EKI-6311g for outdoor application or hard-to-reach
location, we recommend configuring and test all the devices first.
For configuring the EKI-6311g, please follow the quick steps below to
power up the EKI-6311g. Refer to Figure 2-4 for steps 1 through 5.
Figure 2-4
Step1 : Connect the DC plug of the AC/DC power adapter into the DC
Input Port of Inline Power Injector and the wall-mount plug into a
power outlet or power strip (
refer to page 6). The Power LED on the
Inline Power Injector will light up.
Step2 : Run the cross-over type uplink Ethernet cable from Data Input
Port (
refer topage 6) to the Ethernet port on PC.
Step3 : Connect the CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the EKI-6311g unit.
Hand tightens the connector.
Step4 : Connect the remaining end of the 30m CA T 5 cable into the PoE
labeled AP/Bridge. This is the power side of the PoE that will power up
the EKI-6311g.
9
When the EKI-6311g receives power over the Ethernet cable, the
EKI-6311g will start its boot up sequence.
You can configure the EKI-6311g via HTML browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC.

2.4 Basic Configuration
2.4.1 Logging into the Web Interface
The EKI-6311G supports access to the configuration system through the
use of an HTTP Interface.
► Web Configuration
Before configuring EKI-6311G, the user needs to know the IP Address
assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP Address
192.168.1.1 was assigned to the EKI-6311G by default. To start a
web connection, use http://192.168.1.1
► Web Access Procedures
Once you identify the IP Address assigned to EKI-6311G, use web
browser to configure EKI-6311G through the HTTP Interface. The
following procedure explains how to configure each item.
Step1 : Open your browser and enter the IP Address
Step2 : Press <ENTER> key and the EKI-6311G Login screen appears
as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3
Step3 : Enter “admin” in the Username. Enter “admin”in the
Password fields, and click Log In to enter the web configuration
user interface screen as shown below.

Apply
This section describes two-step BASIC configuration procedures to setup
EKI-6311G.
Step1 : Modify the factory-default parameters on the web page
“/Network/Network/”, when changing any parameters, please click
Apply to save the changes, then click Reboot on the System page.
Step2 : Modify the factory-default para meters on the web page
“/Wireless/Wi-Fi 1/”, when changing any parameters, please click
Apply to save the changes, then click Reboot on the System page. to
take effect on the previous configuration changes.

2.4.3 Set Operating Mode, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default
Route IP, DNS Server IP of EKI-6311G
► LAN Settings
These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the
Access Point. The Access Point's local network (LAN) settings are
configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this
section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based
management interface. This option is available in the “/NETWORK/
NETWORK /” page as shown in Figure 2-5.
.
Figure 2-5
► Get LAN IP From
Choose "DHCP (Dynamic)" if your router supports DHCP and you want
the router to assign an IP address to the AP. In this case, you do not need
to fill in the following fields. Choose "Static IP (Manual)" if your router
does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a
fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the
following fields.
Note that you cannot choose "DHCP (Dynamic)" if you have enabled the
"DHCP Server" option on the DHCP page; the AP cannot be both a DHCP
client and a DHCP server.
14
► IP Address
The IP address of the AP on the local area network.
Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for
the LAN.
For example, IP address: 192.168.1.100.
► Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
► Gateway
The IP address of the router on the local area network.
► DNS Server
This entry is optional. Enter a DNS Server for the local network.
15
2.4.4 Set Wireless SSID for Wireless Interface ► Wireless Network Name （SSID）
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name
that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to invisible, see
below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes,
it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network
name. This option is available in the “/WIRELESS/Wi-Fi 1/” page as
shown in Figure 2-6.
**Default SSID: “EKI-6311G” in wifi-1.
** Radio Channel only supports channel 1 to channel 11 in USA
