1 Product Overview

Thank you for using EOA7535. EOA7535 is a dual core wireless outdoor Access Point/Client Bridge. It

is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 3 multi-functions Access Point, Client Bridge,

and Client Router in both 2.4G and 5G operation mode. EOA7535 can help with reducing costs with

wired internet/intranet and even constructing wireless environment.

EOA7535 is easily to install almost anywhere by wall mount. It supports Power over Ethernet for

quick outdoor installation. External N-type antenna provides better wireless signal quality and the

antenna is upgradeable.

EOA7535 can manage power level control, Wireless Access Control, WMM and Real-time RSSI

indicator. EOA7535 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 Radius encryption.

1.1 Benefits

The following list describes the design of the EOA7535 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.

d) Frequently changed environments

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

rearrange the workplace.

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.

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

Client Router Mode Client Router Mode has the same abilities as Client Bridge Mode but it

also supports WAN type of internet connection.

Multiple SSIDs EOA7535 supports up to 4 SSIDs on your access point. The following

options can be set to each SSID:

- SSID for public or private network

- Each SSID can be suppressed.

- Authentication is fully supported

- VLAN identifier

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

clients.

WMM 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 EOA7535 Multi-Function Instruction Guide

2.1 Access Point

In the Access Point Mode with WDS Function, EOA7535 function likes a central connection for any

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

SSID and Security Password to associate within the range. EOA7535 supports 4 different SSIDs to

separate different clients at the same time.

2.2 Client Bridge

In the Client Bridge Mode, the EOA7535 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 your

station to the LAN port of the EOA7535 via Ethernet.

2.3 Client Router

In the Client Router Mode, the EOA7535 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.
