Chapter 2 Before You Begin 10  2 Before you Begin This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius ECB1200 is essential to maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid placing the ECB1200 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 ECB1200, 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 ECB1200 to have optimal wireless range.  z Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ECB1200 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.  z 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 ECB1200. 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.  z Interference from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the ECB1200’s signal strength.  The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 23  4 Building a Wireless Network The ECB1200 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ECB1200. 4.1 Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ECB1200 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support  IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/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 ECB1200. The ECB1200 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
 24  4.2 Client Bridge Mode In Client Bridge Mode, the ECB1200 essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system wireless access to the network. This mode requires you to connect the Ethernet port on your PC to the ECB1200 LAN port. If you use the client bridge operating mode, use the ECB1200 AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range. When you find an Access Point, configure the ECB1200 to use the same SSID and Security Password as the Access Point to associate with it.
 25  4.3 WDS AP / WDS Station Mode The ECB1200 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ECB1200 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.   Note: WDS Station Mode does not support Access Point feature.
 26  4.4 WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ECB1200 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ECB1200 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 ECB1200 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.
