BridgeorWDS(AP,Station&Bridge).TheEnStationACis
designed to operate in a variety of outdoor environments.
Introduction
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 CPEs who wish to connect to a business
network. The EnStationAC supports the 5 GHz frequency
band for communicating to other 5GHz frequency bands
6
Access Points concurrently. Several EnStationACs can
be networked in a campus setting using the 5 GHz band
between countries. The EnStationAC is easy to install in
virtually any location with its included PoE (Power over
Ethernet) Adapter for quick outdoor installation. The
EnStationAC enables network administrators to control
its transmit power and features settings for selecting
VHT80 bandwidth to perform ture AC transmission. The
EnStationAC also supports wireless encryption including
Wi-FiProtectedAccess(WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)Encryption
andIEEE802.1XwithRADIUS.)

Building a Wireless
Network
25
The EnStationAC has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EnStationAC.
Access Point Mode
InAccessPointMode,EnStationACbehaveslikesacentralconnectionforstationsorclientsthatsupportIEEE802.11a/b/g/n
networks.ThestationsandclientsmustbeconguredtousethesameSSID(ServiceSetIdentier)andsecuritypasswordto

WDS AP Mode
26
Client Bridge Mode
The EnStationAC essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless
access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the EnStationAC can
broadcast to reach all end-devices.
If you use the client bridge mode in the EnStationAC, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points
withinrange.WhenyoundanAccessPoint,conguretheEnStationACtousethesameSSIDandSecurityPasswordas
the Access Point to associate with it.
27
WDS AP Mode
The EnStationAC also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EnStationAC using
WDStechnology.Inthismode,conguretheMACaddressesinbothAccessPointstoenlargethewirelessareabyenabling
WDSLinksettings.WDSsupportsuptofour(4)APMACaddresses.
28
WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the EnStationAC can wirelessly connect different LANs by conguring the MAC address and
securitysettingsofeachEnStationAC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 EnStationAC to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as
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.
29
WDS Station Mode
Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.
• Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandreceiver.

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement
EnStationAC: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be
installed and operated with minimum distance 26 cm between the radiator & your body.

This product is designed for specic application and needs to be installed by a qualied personal who has RF and related rule knowledge. The
general user shall not attempt to install or change the setting.
Installation Location
The product shall be installed at a location where the radiating antenna can be kept 25cm from nearby person in normal operation condition to
meet regulatory RF exposure requirement.
Internal Antenna
Use only the antennas which have been approved by the applicant. The non-approved antenna(s) may produce unwanted spurious or excessive
