PRODUCT OVERVIEW BENEFITS 1-3BenefitsThe ENS200 is the ideal product around which you can build your WLAN. The following list summarizes a few key advan-tages that WLANs have over wired networks:Ideal for hard-to-wire environmentsThere are many scenarios where cables cannot be used to con-nect networking devices. Historic and older buildings, open areas, and busy streets, for example, make wired LAN installa-tions difficult, expensive, or impossible.Temporary workgroupsWLANs make it easy to provide connectivity to temporary work-groups that will later be removed. Examples include parks, ath-letic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery shelters, temporary offices, and construction sites.Ability to access real-time informationWith a WLAN, workers who rely on access to real-time informa-tion, such as doctors and nurses, point-of-sale employees, mobile workers, and warehouse personnel, can access the data they need and increase productivity, without having to look for a place to plug into the network.Frequently changed environmentsWLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where workplaces are rear-ranged frequently.Wireless extensions to Ethernet networksWLANs enable network managers in dynamic environments to minimize overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes.Wired LAN backupNetwork managers can implement WLANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.Mobility within training/educational facilitiesTraining sites at corporations and students at universities are a few examples where wireless connectivity can be used to facili-tate access to information, information exchanges, and learn-ing.

InstallationChapter 2
INSTALLATION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2-12.1 System RequirementsTo install the ENS200, you need the following:Computer (Windows, Linux, OSX Operating System)CD-ROM *Web Browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome, Safari)Network Interface Card with an open RJ-45 Ethernet PortWi-Fi Card or USB Wi-Fi Dongle (802.11 B/G/N) **An existing router or access point (AP) with SSID broad-castCAT5 Ethernet CablesNote:* Windows Only: Using ENS200 Setup CD** Optional
INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE DEVICE 2-22.2 Installing the DeviceInstalling the ENS200 on a pole or wall optimizes the wireless access range.Pre-Installation GuidelinesSelect the optimal location for the equipment using the following guidelines:The ENS200 should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its loca-tion should enable easy access to the unit and its connec-tors for installation and testing.The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality.The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the Base Station.Installing the DeviceTo install the ENS200, use the following procedure to mount the device on a pole and refer to the figure below.1. Remove the bottom cover protecting the RJ-45 connec-tors.2. Insert an Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled LAN.3. Install the bottom cover to protect the RJ-45 connectors.4. Remove the power cord and PoE injector from the box and plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE injec-tor.Note:Only experienced installation professionals who are famil-iar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install the ENS200.CAUTION!ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE ENS200. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT DAM-AGE THE ENS200.!
Web ConfigurationChapter 3
WEB CONFIGURATION LOGGING IN 3-13.1 Logging InThe ENS200 has a built-in Web Configurator that lets you man-age the unit from any location using a Web browser that sup-ports HTTP and has JavaScript installed.After configuring the computer for TCP/IP using the procedure appropriate for your operating system, use that computer’s Web browser to log in to the ENS200 Web Configurator.1. Launch your Web browser.2. In the browser address bar, type 192.168.1.1 and press the Enter key. Figure 3-1: Web Browser Address Bar3. When the Windows Security window appears, enter admin for the username in the top field and admin for the password in the bottom field. Figure 3-2: Windows Security Login Dialog4. Click OK.You are now ready to use the instructions in the following chap-ters to configure the ENS200.Note:If you changed the ENS200 LAN IP address, enter the cor-rect IP address.
WEB CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES 3-2Best PracticesPerform the following procedures regularly to make the ENS200 more secure and manage the ENS200 more effec-tively.Change the default password Use a password that is not easy to guess and that contains different characters, such as numbers and letters. The ENS200 username can-not be changed. For more information, see Configuring Administrator Account.Back up the configuration and be sure you know how to restore it. Restoring an earlier working configuration can be useful if the ENS200 becomes unstable or crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the ENS200 to its factory default settings and lose any cus-tomized override settings you configured. However, if you back up an earlier configuration, you will not have to com-pletely reconfigure the ENS200. You can simply restore your last configuration. For more information, For more information, see Configuring Administrator Account.
