2 Before you Begin

This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP300 is essential to maximize the
access points performance. Avoid placing the EAP300 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.

2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation

Generally, the exact operating distance of a wireless device, like the EAP300, cannot be pre-determined due to a number of
unknown variables or obstacles in the environment in which the device will be deployed. These could be the number,
thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, elevator shafts, stairwells, or other objects that the device's wireless signals must
pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the EAP300 to have optimal wireless range.

Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP300 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.

Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum studs may have a significant negative effect
on the signal strength of the EAP300. 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 other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the EAP300s
signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

4 Building a Wireless Network

The EAP300 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP300.

4.1 Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, EAP300 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password
to associate with the EAP300. The EAP300 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
21

4.2 WDS AP Mode

The EAP300 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EAP300 using WDS
technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses.
22

4.3 WDS Bridge Mode

In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP300 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each EAP300 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP300 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following
figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.

Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access
Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your network,
so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree setting (see 6.3 Spanning Tree Setting, below) to prevent this from happening.
23

4.4 Repeater mode

The Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate signals from a wireless router or other access point/station that is
unable to reach certain areas in a building. When this mode is activated in the EAP300, the EAP300 receives the wireless
signal from an existing router or AP and relays it to other devices within its range so they can join the network.
24

implement.
Note: Compatibility between different brands and models of access points is not guaranteed. It is recommended that the
WDS network be created using the same models for maximum compatibility.
Also note: All Access Points in the WDS network needs to use the same Channel and Security settings.
To create a WDS network, please enter the MAC addresses of the Access Points that you want included in the WDS. There can
be a maximum of four access points in WDS AP mode and eight access points in WDS Bridge mode.
Note: Only applicable in WDS AP and WDS Bridge mode.
