__________________________________________________
1 Product Overview
Thank you for using ENH200. 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.
ENH200 uses the latest wireless technology 802.11n standard. It has faster transmit/receive wireless speed. ENH200 gives you a great advantage to save your time and cost to expend your network. It is also compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g.
ENH200 is easily to install almost anywhere with Power over Ethernet for quick indoor installation and regular Power by Adapter. ENH200 can manage power level control, Narrow bandwidth selection, Traffic shaping and Real-time RSSI indicator. ENH200 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.
1.1 Feature
The following list describes the design of the ENH200 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
d)
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 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 transmit internet connection protocol through AP to access the internet.
Multiple SSIDs ENH200 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.
1.3 Package Contents
Open the package carefully, and make sure that none of the items listed below are missing. Do not discard the packing materials, in case of return; the unit must be shipped in its original package.
1* Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge (ENH200) 1* 24V/0.6A Power Adapter 1* QIG 1* CD (User Manual)

2 ENH200 Multi-Function Instruction Guide
2.1 Access Point
In the Access Point Mode, ENH200 function likes a central connection for any stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11b/g/n network. Stations and Client must configure the same SSID and Security Password to associate within the range. ENH200 supports 4 different SSIDs to separate different clients at the same time.

2.2 Access Point with WDS Function
ENH200 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.

2.3 Client Bridge
In the Client Bridge Mode, the ENH200 function likes a wireless client connecting 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 ENH200 via Ethernet.

2.4 WDS Bridge
In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH200 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 ENH200 wirelessly connect two wired LANs. WDS Bridge Mode can establish 16 WDS links, the network diagram is like a Star.

3 Computer Configuration Instruction
The default operating mode is Client Bridge. Client Bridge will not assign an IP address to the computer/notebook. Therefore, follow the steps to assign an IP address to your Ethernet card.
3.1 Assign a Static IP
In order to configure ENH200, 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.
IP Address entered in the TCP/IP Properties needs to be at the same subnet of the ENH200 IP Address. For example: ENH200’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.
Caution: If you have changed the ENH200 LAN IP address, make sure you enter the correct IP Address.
3. After connected to the ENH200 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.
If you have changed the Username and Password, please enter your own Username and Password.
