Introduction
The AP is a great performance, evenly coverage and long-range Dual-Band Wireless 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n indoor Access Point with speeds
up to 400 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867Mbps on 5GHz band. It can be configure as an: Access Point, WDS (AP, Bridge). The AP is designed to
operate in a variety of indoor environments. 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 business
network. The AP supports the 2.4GHz frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time providing 5GHz band under
802.11 ac/a/n mode for communicating to and from 5GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or transferring files. Several APs
can be deployed in a campus setting using the 5GHz band as a backhaul to provide multiple 2.4GHz wireless cells for computers or
mobile devices in common indoor areas.
The AP is easy to install in virtually any location with optional PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for quick indoor installation. The AP
enables network administrators to control its transmit power and feature settings for selecting narrow bandwidth and traffic shaping.
The AP also supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with
RADIUS.
System Requirements
The following are the Minimum System Requirements in order to configure the device:
Computer with an Ethernet interface or wireless network capability
Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7, 8), or Mac OS, Linux-based operating systems
Web-Browsing Application (i.e. Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or another similar browser application)
Package Contents
The package contains the following items (all items must be in package to issue a refund):
EAP Access Point

2 detachable 5 GHz Omni-directional Antennas(EAP1300EXT only)
Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications
made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs:
Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be
hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based
LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution.
Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums,
amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or
temporary Wireless LAN established.
The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for learning purposes.

Before You Begin
Before You Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius Access Point is essential to maximize the
Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing the Access Point in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in
the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings,
or other objects that the Access Point’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key
guidelines for allowing the Access Point to have an optimal wireless range during setup.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the Access Point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or
ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength.
Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the Access Point. 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 your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the Access Point’s
signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

RSSI Threshold
With RSSI Threshold enabled, the AP will send a disassociation request to the wireless client and let it find another AP to
handover and associate upon detecting the wireless client’s RSSI value lower than specified. The RSSI value can be adjusted to
allow more clients to stay associated to this AP. Note that setting the RSSI value too low may cause wireless clients to
reconnect frequently.

information with other Access Points in the vincinity of that client to coordinate which of them should serve the client best.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network, with
especially wide deployment on the Internet. Technically, it is not a protocol in and of itself; rather, it is the result of simply layering

HTTP communications.
