1 Introduction
The ALL02880ND is a high-powered, long-range dual-band concurrent wireless
802.11a/b/g/n access point with six major functional modes. It is designed to operate
in numerous environments from large homes, small and medium-sized businesses,
multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its
high-powered, long-range characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to
ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to connect to a growing
number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The ALL02880ND supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards in the 2.4GHz frequency band
while at the same time supporting IEEE 802.11a/n standards in the less congested
5GHz frequency band ideal for streaming or transferring other large files.
The ALL02880ND delivers up to 6x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage
than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Even though the ALL02880ND has been
designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it is
also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless
range of an existing home router, especially in very architecturally-challenging
structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the ALL02880ND offers
different encryption settings for wireless transmissions including industry-standard
WPA and WPA2 encryption. The ALL02880ND also includes MAC address filtering to
allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and
other devices based on their MAC addresses.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following
list describes the benefits of deploying a wireless access point:
a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily or
cannot be hidden from view. Many older buildings sites, or areas within a
building may make the installation of an Ethernet-based LAN impossible,
impractical or expensive.
b) Temporary Workgroups
A deployed wireless access point or several access points, gives businesses the
flexibility to create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a
building – auditoriums, amphitheater classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition
centers, and temporary offices.
c) The Ability to Access Real-Time Information
Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can
access real-time information on their network via the access point while dealing
with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
d) Frequently Changing Environments
Setting up an access point, like the ALL02880ND, to provide access to a
company network or its Internet connection is quick and easy which also makes
7
ALL02880ND Manual
it ideal for establishing network access in temporary venues like exhibits, special
events, or show rooms.
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks
A wireless access point, like the ALL02880ND, is ideal for SOHO users who need
a cost-effective way to expand their existing network to provide more access for
more devices, easy and quick installation of a small network.
f) Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks
Wireless access points, like the ALL02880ND, enable network administrators,
installers and end-users to extend the range and reach of an existing
Ethernet-based network.
g) Training/Educational Facilities
Training sites at corporations and universities deploy wireless access points to
provide connectivity their networks and the Internet connection for their
employees and students.

2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the
EnGenius ALL02880ND is essential to maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid
placing the ALL02880ND 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 ALL02880ND,
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 ALL02880ND to have optimal wireless range.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ALL02880ND 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 ALL02880ND.
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 ALL02880ND’s signal strength. The most common
types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

4 Building a Wireless Network
The ALL02880ND has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes
the operating modes of the ALL02880ND.
4.1 Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, ALL02880ND behaves likes a central connection for stations or
clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/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 ALL02880ND. The ALL02880ND supports up to eight SSIDs at the
same time for secure access.
19
ALL02880ND User’s Manual
4.2 Client Bridge Mode
In Client Bridge Mode, the ALL02880ND essentially acts as a wireless adapter that
connects to an access point to allow a system wireless access to the network. This
mode requires you to connect the Ethernet port on your PC to the ALL02880ND LAN
port.
If you use the client bridge operating mode, use the ALL02880ND Site Survey feature
to scan for Access Points within range. When you find an Access Point, configure the
ALL02880ND to use the same SSID and Security Password as the Access Point to
associate with it.

4.4 WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the ALL02880ND can wirelessly connect different LANs by
configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ALL02880ND device. Use
this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the ALL02880ND 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.

4.5 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 ALL02880ND, the ALL02880ND 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.
