PRODUCT OVERVIEW
BENEFITS
Benefits
Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
WLANs enable network managers in dynamic environments to
minimize overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks,
and other changes.
The ENS500 is the ideal product around which you can build
your WLAN. The following list summarizes a few key advantages that WLANs have over wired networks:
Wired LAN backup
Ideal for hard-to-wire environments
Network managers can implement WLANs to provide backup
for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
There are many scenarios where cables cannot be used to connect networking devices. Historic and older buildings, open
areas, and busy streets, for example, make wired LAN installations difficult, expensive, or impossible.
Mobility within training/educational
facilities
Temporary workgroups
Training sites at corporations and students at universities are a
few examples where wireless connectivity can be used to facilitate access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
WLANs make it easy to provide connectivity to temporary workgroups that will later be removed. Examples include parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery shelters,
temporary offices, and construction sites.
Ability to access real-time information
With a WLAN, workers who rely on access to real-time information, 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 environments
WLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms, retail
stores, and manufacturing sites where workplaces are rearranged frequently.

INSTALLING THE DEVICE
2.2 Installing the Device
Installing the Device
Installing the ENS500 on a pole or wall optimizes the wireless
access range.
To install the ENS500, use the following procedure to mount the
device on a pole and refer to the figure below.
Note:
Only experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities should install the ENS500.
1. Remove the bottom cover protecting the RJ-45 connectors.
2. Insert an Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled LAN.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
3. Install the bottom cover to protect the RJ-45 connectors.
Select the optimal location for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
4. Remove the power cord and PoE injector from the box
and plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE injector.

The ENS500 should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors 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.

CAUTION!
ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE
ENS500. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT
DAMAGE THE ENS500.

WEB CONFIGURATION
LOGGING IN
3.1 Logging In
The ENS500 has a built-in Web Configurator that lets you
manage the unit from any location using a Web browser that
supports HTTP and has Javascript installed.
3. When the login screen appears, enter admin for the username in the top field and admin for the password in the bottom
field.
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 ENS500 Web Configurator.
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. In the browser address bar, type 192.168.1.1 and
press the Enter key.
Note:
Figure 3-2: Windows Security Login Dialog
If you changed the ENS500 LAN IP address, enter the correct IP address.
4. Click Login to continue or Reset to abort the login.
You are now ready to use the instructions in the following chapters to configure the ENS500.

WEB CONFIGURATION
BEST PRACTICES
Best Practices
Perform the following procedures regularly to make the
ENS500 more secure and manage the ENS500 more effectively.

Change the default password Use a password that is
not easy to guess and that contains different characters,
such as numbers and letters. The ENS500 username cannot 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 ENS500 becomes unstable or crashes. If
you forget your password, you will have to reset the
ENS500 to its factory default settings and lose any customized override settings you configured. However, if you
back up an earlier configuration, you will not have to completely reconfigure the ENS500. You can simply restore
your last configuration. For more information, see Configuring Backup/Restore Settings.

4.3.1 Configuring WAN Settings
Configure the WAN settings for the ENS500 using a static or dynamic IP address, PPPoE or PPTP.
Static IP
Setting a static IP address allows an administrator
to set a specific IP address for the router and guarantees that it can not be assigned a different
address.
Account Name Enter the account name provided
by your ISP.
Domain Name Enter the domain name provided
by your ISP.
MTU The maximum transmission unit (MTU)
specifies the largest packet size permitted for an
internet transmission. The factory default MTU size
for static IP is 1500. The MTU size can be set
between 576 and 1500.

Discard Ping on WAN Check to Enable to recognize pings on the ENS500 WAN interface or Disable to block pings on the ENS500
WAN interface. Note: Pinging IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to test whether the IP address is valid. Blocking
pings provides some extra security from hackers.
Click Accept to save the settings or Cancel to discard changes.
Dynamic IP
Dynamic IP addressing assigns a different IP
address each time a device connects to an ISP
service provider. The service is most commonly
used by ISP cable providers.
Account Name Enter the account name provided
by your ISP.
Domain Name Enter the domain name provided
by your ISP.
MTU The maximum transmission unit (MTU)
specifies the largest packet size permitted for an

the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the firewall.

4.3.5 Configuring Demilitarized Zone
Configuring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applications, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all packets
going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or server,
whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.
WARNING!
The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks. Do not store or manage
