Introduction
This device is an enhanced-powered, long-range wireless access point. 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
enhanced-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 hotspot or business network.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the device offers different encryption settings for wireless transmissions,
including industry standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The device 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.

Quick Installation Guide
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.

between the unit and the mounting bracket.
4. Mount the Access Point on the mounting bracket by rotating the unit clockwise about 90 degrees to secure it in place.
Attaching the Access Point to a ceiling using the provided T-Rail connectors:
1. Attach the T-Rail connectors to the bottom cover of the Access Point using the provided short screws.
Note:
space is required to accommodate drop ceiling tiles, use the provided spacers and long screws.
Two sizes of T-Rail connectors are included in the mounting hardware kit: 15/16in (2.38cm) and 9/16in (1.43cm). If extra
2. Line up the connected T-Rail connectors with an appropriately sized rail and press the unit onto the rail until it snaps into
place.
: To protect your Access Point, use the Kensington Security Slot to attach a cable lock (cable lock is not included).
