Introduction
The ENH900EXT is a high-powered, long-range 3x3 Dual-
BandWireless802.11a/b/g/nOutdoorAccessPointwith
speeds up to 450 Mbps on both its high-powered 2.4GHz
and 5GHz radios. It can be congured as an: Access
Point, Client Bridge, or WDS (AP, Station & Bridge). The
ENH900EXT is designed to operate in a variety of outdoor
environments. Its high-powered, long-range characteristics
Introduction
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 business network. The ENH900EXT supports the 2.4GHz
frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the
6
same time providing 5GHz band for communicating to and
from 5GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or
transferringles.SeveralENH900EXTscanbedeployedin
a campus setting using the 5GHz band as a backhaul to
provide multiple 2.4GHz wireless cells for computers or
mobile devices in common outdoor areas.
The ENH900EXT is easy to install in virtually any location
with its included PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for
quick outdoor installation. The ENH900EXT enables
network administrators to control its transmit power
and feature settings for selecting narrow bandwidth and
trafc shaping. The ENH900EXT also supports wireless
encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK)Encryption,andIEEE802.1xwithRADIUS.

shown in the following diagram.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to 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 conguration can be susceptible to
generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to
prevent this from happening.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band
are restricted to indoor usage only.

This device is a 5GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries, except in France
and Italy where restrictive use applies.
In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting
up outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP
in the frequency range of 2454 – 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information the end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.
