1 Product Overview
Thank you for using EOA7530. EOA7530 is a dual core wireless outdoor Access Point/Client Bridge. It
is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 3 multi-functions Access Point, Client Bridge,
and Client Router in both 2.4G and 5G operation mode. EOA7530 can help with reducing costs with
wired internet/intranet and even constructing wireless environment.
EOA7530 is easily to install almost anywhere by wall mount. It supports Power over Ethernet for
quick outdoor installation. External N-type antenna provides better wireless signal quality and the
antenna is upgradeable.
EOA7530 can manage power level control, Wireless Access Control, WMM and Real-time RSSI
indicator. EOA7530 is fully support of security encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), 64/128/152-bit WEP Encryption and IEEE 802.1x Radius encryption.
1.1 Benefits
The following list describes the design of the EOA7530 made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older
buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either
impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established
and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently
rearrange the workplace.

1.2 Feature
Dual Mode Use this feature to configure 2.4G and 5G at the same time. Both 2.4G
and 5G are functioning in the Access Point mode and it can save much
time of configuration.
Separate Mode Use this feature to configure 2.4G and 5G separately. 2.4G and 5G can
function with different operation modes and it gives flexible choice of
the wireless network.
Access Point Mode Use this feature to setup the access point’s configuration information.
It has support adjusting transmit power and channel. Client can access
the network with different regulatory settings and automatically
change to the local regulations.
Client Bridge Mode Use this feature to connect to an Access Point and enjoy the great
speed of surfing internet
Client Router Mode Client Router Mode has the same abilities as Client Bridge Mode but it
also supports WAN type of internet connection.
Multiple SSIDs EOA7530 supports up to 4 SSIDs on your access point. The following
options can be set to each SSID:
- SSID for public or private network
- Each SSID can be suppressed.
- Authentication is fully supported
- VLAN identifier
VLAN Specify a VLAN number for each SSID to separate the services among
clients.
WMM Use this feature to limit the incoming or outgoing throughput.
Wi-Fi Protect Access Wi-Fi Protect Access is a standard-based interoperable security
enhancement that increases the level of data protection and access
control for existing and future wireless LAN system. It is compatible
with IEEE 802.11i standard WPA leverages TKIP and 802.1X for
authenticated key management.

2 EOA7530 Multi-Function Instruction Guide
2.1 Access Point
In the Access Point Mode with WDS Function, EOA7530 function likes a central connection for any
stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11b/g network. Stations and Client must configure the same
SSID and Security Password to associate within the range. EOA7530 supports 4 different SSIDs to
separate different clients at the same time.
2.2 Client Bridge
In the Client Bridge Mode, the EOA7530 function likes a wireless dongle. Connected to an Access
Point wirelessly and surf internet whenever you want. Using Site Survey to scan all the Access Point
within the range and configure its SSID and Security Password to associate with it. Connect your
station to the LAN port of the EOA7530 via Ethernet.

4.6 Wireless Advanced Settings
If you do not have experience with Wireless Advanced Settings, we suggest remain all settings to
default. Any modifies may cause insufficient wireless connection quality.
4.6.1 Advanced Settings (Access Point)
Fragment Threshold
RTS Threshold
Beacon Interval
DTIM Period
Preamble Type
Specify package size during transmission. If large amount of client are accessing to
the network, specify small number of the fragment length in order to avoid collision.
Specify Threshold package size for Request To Send (RTS). Using small number of the
threshold will cause RTS packets to be sent more often to consuming more of the
available bandwidth. In addition, if the heavy load traffic occurs, the wireless
network can be recovered easily from interferences or collisions.
Specify the time of Beacon Interval. Beacon is used to let wireless client scan the
wireless AP is available. Site Survey scans the Beacon to verify which AP is in the
nearby area.
Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) is for the Power Saving purpose. Access Point
sends the packet with beacon frame in the period of time. If the DTIM sets larger
number, the wireless client may affect the latency throughput but save more power.
Select the Radio button to choose Long Preamble or Short Preamble. Long Preamble
can increase the capability of wireless network and wireless signal range. Short
Preamble can increase the efficiency of the wireless network.
Tx Power
Select Tx Power to increase or decrease Transmit Power. Higher transmit power will
24

sometimes cause unable to connect to the network. On the other hand, the lower
transmit power will cause client unable to connect to the device.
Distance
Layer 2 Isolation
Specify distance rage between AP and Clients. Longer distance may lose high
connection speed.
Select the Radio button to enable or disable Layer 2 Isolation. Layer 2 isolation

threshold will cause RTS packets to be sent more often to consuming more of the
available bandwidth. In addition, if the heavy load traffic occurs, the wireless
network can be recovered easily from interferences or collisions.
Select the Radio button to choose Long Preamble or Short Preamble. Long Preamble
can increase the capability of wireless network and wireless signal range. Short
Preamble can increase the efficiency of the wireless network.
Select the Radio button to Protect types. When enable the protection mode, every
time the packet is transmitted, it has to wait the CTS is received. In addition,
Protection mode can prevent the collision but it will slow the wireless transmission
speed.
Select Tx Power to increase or decrease Transmit Power. Higher transmit power will
sometimes cause unable to connect to the network. On the other hand, the lower
transmit power will cause client unable to connect to the device.
Distance
Specify distance rage between AP and Clients. Longer distance may lose high
connection speed.
