Product Overview

Introduction

The EWS660AP is a high-powered, long-range 3x3 Dual-Band Wireless 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Outdoor Access Point with speeds up to 450
Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz band. This Access Point is designed to operate in a variety of outdoor 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 EWS660AP supports 2.4 GHz
frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time provides 5 GHz band under 802.11ac/a/n mode for communicating to
and from 5 GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or for transferring files. Several EWS660APs can be deployed in a campus
setting using the 5 GHz band as a backhaul to provide multiple 2.4 GHz wireless cells for computers or mobile devices in common
outdoor areas.

The EWS660AP is easy to install in virtually any location with its included PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for quick outdoor
installation. The EWS660AP enables network administrators to control its transmit power and feature settings for selecting narrow
bandwidth and traffic shaping. The EWS660AP also supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.

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, ceili ngs,

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.

method there is the command line interface (CLI). The CLI can be access through a command console, modem or Telnet connection.
For security’s concern, you can enable SSH (Secure Shell) to establish a secure data communication.

HTTPS Settings

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
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of the SSL/TLS protocol, thus adding the security capabilities of SSL/TLS to standard
HTTP communications.
