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.

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
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.

Mounting the Access Point
The EWS Wall Plate AP is designed to be mounted on an electrical outlet box.
1. Remove the cover from the outlet box, retaining the original cover screws.
2. Gently pull the required cables through the center of the mounting bracket.
3. Align the mounting bracket with the outlet box and affix the mounting bracket to the outlet box using the original cover
screws.
Page 21
4. Connect the cables to the access point before mounting it to the bracket.
5. Hook the two tabs on the bottom of the bracket into the slots on the bottom of the AP and slide the AP down gently until it
holds in place.
6. Use the bracket screw provided to secure the AP to the bracket.
