Introduction
The EnGenius EWS Series of Wireless Management Switches is an affordable centralized wired/wireless management system developed specifically for entry-level small-to-medium businesses. This powerful device can be easily deployed and operated by non-tech experts and installed effortless and quickly. Any organization with limited IT engineer and budget can create a stable and secure wireless network in no time. The system integrates seamlessly with existing routers, switches, firewalls, authentication servers and other network devices, and can be placed within any network, configured to act as a both a Wireless Controller as well as a Layer 2 Gigabit switch, providing robust and centralized management of the whole network through one powerful system. With no additional costs or license purchasing necessary, network administrators can manage and monitor both wired and wireless nodes through a single web interface.
The system can automatically discover any supported EnGenius EWS Series Access Points connected to the network with a simple click of a mouse, self-configure and become instantly manageable. Simply log into the device via any standard web browser and assign APs into cluster groups. Wireless radio, wireless security and other wireless related configurations can all be easily applied to multiple APs simultaneously, eliminating the time consuming process of configuring each and every Wireless Access Points individually.
The user friendly GUI provides instant access to a variety of client and network information including Managed AP List, Auto Discovered AP List, Cluster Grouping List, and Client List with complete MAC/IP Address, Incoming/Outgoing Traffic, Wireless Output Power and other relevant information. Statistics of AP and client traffics are automatically generated into easy-to-understand graphs, providing a visual representation of the network traffic.
Not to forget the Topology View feature that allows administrators to quickly see the whole wired/wireless network topology at real-time for easier planning, troubleshooting and monitoring, as well as Floor Plan View and Map View which allows for quickly locating deployed APs, a helpful feature for large scale AP deployment and multi-site management. There's also an Intelligent Diagnostics feature for administrators to check the status of Wireless APs and provide easy troubleshooting for offline units and even capable of rebooting APs remotely.

Getting Started
14
Installing the Switch
This section will guide you through the installation process.
Management Interface
The Switch features an embedded Web interface for the monitoring and management of your device.
Management Interface Default Values
IP Address: 192.168.0.239 Username: admin Password: password
15
Connecting the Switch to a Network
Discovery in a Network with a DHCP server
Use the procedure below to setup the Switch within a network that uses DHCP.
1. Connect the supplied Power Cord to the Switch and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Verify the power LED indicator is lit on the Switch.
2. Wait for the Switch to complete booting up. It might take a minute for the Switch to completely boot
up.
3. Connect one end of a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable into the Gigabit (10/100/1000Mpbs) Ethernet
port on the Switch front panel and the other end to the Ethernet port on the computer. Verify that the LED on the Ethernet ports of the Switch are Green.
4. Once your computer is on, ensure that your TCP/IP is set to On or Enabled. Open Network
Connections and then click Local Area Connection. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). If
your computer is already on a network, ensure that you have set it to a Static IP Address on the Interface (Example: 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet mask address as 255.255.255.0).
5. Open a web browser on your computer. In the address bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.239
and press Enter.
6. A login screen will appear. By default, the username is admin and the password is password. Enter
the current password of the Switch and then click Login. To make access to the web-based management interface more secure, it's highly recommended that you change the password to something more unique.
7. Click IP Settings under the System tab and select IPv4 or IPv6.
8. Click DHCP under Auto-Configuration.
9. Click Apply to save the settings.
10. Connect the Switch to your network (DHCP enabled).
11. On the DHCP server, find and write down the IP address allocated to the device. Use this IP address
to access the management interface.
16
Discovery in a Network with a DHCP server
This section describes how to set up the Switch in a network without a DHCP server. If your network has no DHCP service, you must assign a static IP address to your Switch in order to log in to the web-based management interface.
1. Connect the supplied Power Cord to the Switch and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Verify the Power LED indicator is lit on the Switch.
2. Wait for the Switch to complete booting up. It might take a minute or so for the Switch to completely
boot up.
3. Connect one end of a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable into the Gigabit (10/100/1000Mbps) Ethernet
port on the Switch front panel and the other end to Ethernet port on the computer. Verify that the LED on Ethernet ports of the Switch are Green.
4. Once your computer is on, ensure that your TCP/IP is set to On or Enabled. Open Network
Connections and then click Local Area Connection. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
5. If your computer is already on a network, ensure that you have set it to a Static IP Address on the
Interface (Example: 192.168.0.239 and the Subnet mask address as 255.255.255.0).
6. Open a web browser on your computer. In the address bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.239
and press Enter.
7. A login screen will appear. By default, the username is admin and the password is password. Enter
the current password of the Switch and then click Login. To make access to the web-based management interface more secure, it's highly recommended that you change the password to something more unique.
8. Click IP Settings under the System menu and select Static IP to configure the IP settings of the
management interface.
9. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
10. Click Apply to update the system.

Wireless Radio Settings
Country: Select a Country/Region to conform to local regulations. Different regions have different rules
that govern which channels can be used for wireless communications.
Wireless Mode: Select from the drop-down menu to set the wireless mode for the Access Point. For
2.4GHz, the available options are 802.11b/g/n mixed, 802.11b, 802.11b/g mixed, 802.11g, and 802.11n. For 5GHz, the available options are 802.11a/n mixed, 802.11a, and 802.11n.
Channel HT Mode: Use the drop-down menu to select the Channel HT as 20MHz, 20/40MHz or 40MHz. A wider channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices operate only on either 20MHz or 40 MHz. This option is only available for 802.11n modes.
Extension Channel: Use the drop-down menu to set the Extension Channel as Upper or Lower channel. An extension channel is a secondary channel used to bond with the primary channel to increase this range to 40MHz allowing for greater bandwidth. This option is only available when Wireless Mode is
802.11n and Channel HT Mode is 20/40MHz or 40MHz.
Channel: Use the drop-down menu to select the wireless channel the radio will operate on. Optimizing channel assignments reduces channel interference and channel utilization for the network, thereby improving overall network performance and increasing the network's client capacity. The list of available channels that can be assigned to radios is determined based on which country the Access Points are deployed in.
