1 Introduction
The ECB1200 is a high-powered, long-range dual-band concurrent wireless 802.11ac/a/b/g/n access point with 5 major
functional modes. It is designed to operate in numerous environments from large homes, small and medium-sized
businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its high-powered, long-range
characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to connect
to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The ECB1200 supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards in the 2.4GHz frequency band while at the same time supporting IEEE
802.11ac/a/n standards in the less congested 5GHz frequency band ideal for streaming or transferring other large files.
The ECB1200 delivers up to faster wireless speed and extended coverage than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Even
though the ECB1200 has been designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it is also
quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless range of an existing home router,
especially in very architecturally-challenging structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the ECB1200 offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The ECB1200 also includes MAC address filtering to
allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and other devices based on their MAC
addresses.

1.4 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.
9
d) Frequently Changing Environments
Setting up an access point, like the ECB1200, 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 ECB1200, 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 ECB1200, 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.
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.
11
2.2 Computer Settings (in Windows XP/Windows 7/Windows 8)
In order to use the ECB1200, you must first configure the TCP/IPv4 connection of your Windows OS computer system.

2.4 Hardware Installation
1. Ensure that the computer in use has an available Ethernet (RJ-45) Port. For more information, verify with your
computer’s user manual.
2. Connect one end of the Category 5e Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port of the ECB1200 and the other end to the RJ-45
port of the computer. Ensure that the cable is securely connected to both the ECB1200 and the computer.
3. Connect the Power Adapter DC connector to the DC-IN port of the ECB1200 and the Power Adapter to an available
electrical outlet. Once both connections are secure, verify the following:
a) Ensure that the POWER light is on (it will be orange).
b) Ensure that the 2.4GHz/5GHz WLAN light is on (both will be blue.).
c) Ensure that the LAN (Computer/ECB1200 Connection) light is on (it will be blue).
d) Once all lights are on, proceed to set up the ECB1200 using the computer.

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 su
pp
ort 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.
