1.5 Applications

Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and

highly efficient. The following list describes the benefits

of deploying a wireless access point:

a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments

There are many situations where wires cannot be

installed, deployed easily or cannot be hidden from

view. Many older buildings sites, or areas within a

building may make the installation of an Ethernet-

based LAN impossible, impractical or expensive.

b) Temporary Workgroups

A deployed wireless access point or several access

points, gives businesses the flexibility to create

temporary workgroups/networks in more open

areas within a building – auditoriums, amphitheater

classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers,

and temporary offices.

c) The Ability to Access Real-Time Information

Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or

Warehouse Workers can access real-time

information on their network via the access point

while dealing with patients, serving customers,

and/or processing information.

d) Frequently Changing Environments

Setting up an access point, like the EAP350, to

provide access to a company network or its Internet

connection is quick and easy which also makes it

ideal for establishing network access in temporary

venues like exhibits, special events, or show rooms.

e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks

A wireless access point, like the EAP350, is ideal for

SOHO users who need a cost-effective way to

expand their existing network to provide more

access for more devices, easy and quick installation

of a small network.

f) Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based

Networks

Wireless access points, like the EAP350, enable

network administrators, installers and end-users to

extend the range and reach of an existing Ethernet-

based network.

g) Training/Educational Facilities

Training sites at corporations and universities deploy

wireless access points to provide connectivity their

networks and the Internet connection for their

employees and students.

2 Before you Begin

This section will guide you through the installation

process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP350 is essential to

maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid placing

the EAP350 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 EAP350, 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 EAP350 to have optimal

wireless range.

 Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the

EAP350 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 EAP350.

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 EAP350’s signal strength. The most common types

of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

2.2 Computer Settings (in Windows

4 Building a Wireless Network

The EAP350 has the ability to operate in various modes.

This chapter describes the operating modes of the

EAP350.

4.1 Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, EAP350 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 EAP350. The

EAP350 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for

secure access.

4.2 WDS AP Mode

The EAP350 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating

mode allows wireless connections to the EAP350 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.

4.3 WDS Bridge Mode

In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP350 can wirelessly connect

different LANs by configuring the MAC address and

security settings of each EAP350 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 EAP350 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.

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 EAP350, the

EAP350 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.
