1 Product Overvi ew Thank you for using the ENH500. It is a powerful and enhanced business-class pr oduct with 4 multi-functions: Access P oint, Clie nt Bridge, WDS, and Client R outer . EnG enius’ E NH500 uses the latest wireless standa rd, 802.11n, which allo ws for faster wireless throughput.
d) Frequently altered environments Show r ooms, meeting r ooms, r et ail st or es, and manufacturing sites are prime examples where frequently r earranged workplaces are suited for wireless L ANs.
1.2 Benef its Access Point Mode Use this feature to setup the access point’ s conf iguration information. It supports transmit power and channel adjustment s. Clients can ac cess the network with differ ent regulato r y settings and automat ically change to the local r egulations.
1.3 P ackage Content s Open the package car efully , and make sur e that none of the it ems listed below ar e missing. Do not discar d the packing materials; in ca se of r eturn, the unit must be shipped in it s original pac ka gi ng . (1) Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge (ENH 500) (1) 24V/1.
1.6 Understanding the ENH500 LEDs The rear o f the ENH500 has two grou ps o f LEDs. One group, labeled INDICA T O RS , shows the status o f the device. The second group, LINK QU ALITY , shows the strength of the link between the ENH500 and the network .
2 Installation This chapter describes how to install the ENH500. Only experienced installation pro fessional s who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wher ever applicable, are lic en sed by the appropriate gov ernment regulator y authorities should install the ENH500.
6. Turn over the ENH50 0. Then insert the ma st strap through the middle hole of the ENH500. Use a s crewdriver to unlock the po le-mounting ring putting it th rough the ENH500. 7. Mount the ENH500 securely to the po le by locking the strap tightly. This completes the in stallation procedure.
client s that suppor t the IEEE 802.11a/n st andard s. S tations and client s mus t utilize the same SSID and Security P assword to a ssociate while wi thin range.
Not ever y Access Point suppor ts WDS in Access P oint Mode. It is recommended to use ENH500s if you would like to utilize this functionalit y . 3.3 Client Bridge Mode In the Client Bridge Mode, the ENH500 functi ons lik e a wir eless client, connecting t o an Access P oint wirelessly and enabling Internet co nnectivity wher ever you want.
3.4 WDS Bridge M ode In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH500 can wirelessl y connect different local area networks by conf iguring each device’ s MAC addr ess and se curity set tings. The WDS Bridge Mode can bridge up to four local wired networks together as one l ogical network .
WDS Bridge Mode is un like Access P o int Mode. APs linked by WDS are using the same wireless channel, and connecti ng excessive numbers o f APs on the same channel may result in lower throug hput. Please be aware to avoid loop connections; other wise enable the Spanning T ree Function.
