1 Product Overview

Thank you for using EOC5611P. It is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 4+1

multi-functions Access Point, Access Point with WDS function, Client Bridge, WDS Bridge,and Client

Router.

EOC5611P is easily to install almost anywhere with Power over Ethernet for quick outdoor installation.

External N-type antenna provides better wireless signal quality and the antenna is upgradeable.

EOC5611P uses 5G band and 2.4G wireless signal to avoid interference of most digital signal such as

mobile phone.

EOC5611P can manage power level control, Narrow bandwidth selection, Traffic shaping and

Real-time RSSI indicator. EOC5611P 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 with RADIUS

Accounting.

Auction: The internal antenna is only available for 5G band wireless network.

1.1 Feature

The following list describes the design of the EOC5611P 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.

Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently

rearrange the workplace.

e) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,

extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

f) Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical

applications running on wired networks.

g) Training/Educational facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease

access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1.2 Benefits

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.

WDS Bridge Mode Use this feature to link multiple APs in a network. All clients associated

with any APs can communicate each other like an ad-hoc mode.

Client Router Mode This feature functions completely opposite but similarly with AP

Router Mode. Client Router connected to an AP wirelessly and

transmits internet connection protocol through AP to access the

internet.

Multiple SSIDs EOC5611P supports up to 4 SSIDs on your access point. The following

options can be set to each SS to each SSID:

- SSID for public or private network

- Authentication is fully supported

- VLAN identifier

- Radius accounting identifier

- Profile isolation for infrastructure network

VLAN Specify a VLAN number for each SSID to separate the services among

clients.

QoS 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 EOC5611P Multi-Function Instruction Guide

2.1 Access Point

In the Access Point Mode with WDS Function, EOC5611P function likes a central connection for any

stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g network. Stations and Client must configure the

same SSID and Security Password to associate within the range. EOC5611P supports 4 different SSIDs

to separate different clients at the same time.

2.2 Access Point with WDS Function

EOC5611P also supports WDS function in Access Point Mode without losing AP’s capabilities.

Configure others Access Point’s Wireless MAC Address in both Access Point devices to enlarge the

wireless area by enabling WDS Link Settings. WDS function can support up to 8 different AP’s MAC

addresses.

Auction: Not every Access Point device has support WDS in Access Point Mode. It is recommended

using EOC5611P if you would like to use this service.

2.3 Client Bridge

In the Client Bridge Mode, the EOC5611P 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 you

station to the LAN port of the EOC5611P via Ethernet.

2.4 WDS Bridge

In the WDS Bridge Mode, the EOC5611P can wirelessly connect different LANs by just simply

configure each other’s MAC Address and Security Settings. This mode is used when two wired LANs

locate in small distance and want to communicate each other. The best solution is using EOC5611P

wirelessly connect two wired LANs. WDS Bridge Mode can establish 16 WDS links. The connection

diagram is like a Star.

Auction: WDS Bridge Mode is not function like Access Point. APs linked by WDS are using the same

frequency channel, more APs connected together may lower throughput. Please be aware to avoid

loop connection, otherwise you may enable Spanning Tree Function.

2.5 Client Router

In the Client Router Mode, the EOC5611P has DHCP Server build inside that allows many LANs

automatically generate an IP address to share the same Internet. Connect an AP/WISP Wirelessly and

connect to LANs via wired. Client Router Mode is act completely opposite to the AP Router Mode.

3 Computer Settings

3.1 Assign a Static IP

In order to configure EOC5611P, please follow the instruction below:

1. In the Control Panel, double click Network

Connections and then double click on the connection of

your Network Interface Card (NIC). You will then see the

following screen.

2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on the

Properties button. This will allow you to configure the

TCP/IP settings of your PC/Notebook

3. Select Use the following IP address radio button and

then enter the IP address and subnet mask. Ensure that

the IP address and subnet mask are on the same subnet

as the device.

4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and then

close LAN properties window.

Auction: IP Address entered in the TCP/IP Properties needs to be at the same subnet of the

EOC5611P IP Address. For example: EOC5611P’s default IP Address is 192.168.1.1 so the IP Address in

the TCP/IP settings could be 192.168.1.10.

3.2 Logging Method

After complete the IP settings from last section, you can now access the web-based configuration

menu.

1. Open web browser

2. Enter IP 192.168.1.1 into you address filter.

Auction: If you have changed the EOC5611P LAN IP address, make sure you enter the correct IP

Address.

3. After connected to the EOC5611P successfully, browser will pop out a Windows Security window.

Please enter the correct Username and Password.

4. The default Username and Password are both admin.

Auction: If you have changed the Username and Password, please enter your own Username and

Password.
