Advanced features include power level control, traffic shaping, and Real time RSSI indication.A variety of security features help to protect your data and pri-vacy while you are online. Security features include Wi-Fi Pro-tected Access (WPA PSK/WPA2 PSK), 64/128/156 bit WEP Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.Key FeaturesHigh-speed data rates up to 300 Mbps make the EnStation2 ideally suited for handling heavy data payloads such as MPEG video streamingHigh output power up to 26 dBm delivers superior range and coverageFully Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b/IEEE 802.11g/IEEE 802.11n-compliant devicesMulti-function capabilities enable users to use different modes in various environmentsPoint-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless connectiv-ity enable data transfers between two or more buildingsChannel bandwidth selection allows the appropriate band-width to be used to reach various distancesRSSI indicator makes it easy to select the best signal for Access Point connectionsPower-over-Ethernet capabilities allow for flexible installa-tion locations and cost savingsFour SSIDs let clients access different networks through a single Access Point, and assign different policies and functions for each SSIDWPA2/WPA/ WEP/ IEEE 802.1x support and MAC address filtering ensure secure network connectionsPPPoE/PPTP function support make it easy to access the Internet via Internet Service Provider (ISP) service authenticationSNMP Remote Configuration Management helps adminis-trators remotely configure or manage the Access PointQoS (WMM) support enhances performance and user experiences
PRODUCT OVERVIEW BENEFITS 1-3BenefitsThe EnStation2 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.

INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE DEVICE 2-22.2 Installing the DeviceInstalling the EnStation2 on a pole or wall optimizes the wire-less access range.Pre-Installation GuidelinesSelect the optimal location for the equipment using the following guidelines:The EnStation2 should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its con-nectors 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 EnStation2, 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 EnStation2.CAUTION!ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE ENSTATION2. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT DAMAGE THE ENSTATION2.!

Web ConfigurationChapter 3
WEB CONFIGURATION LOGGING IN 3-13.1 Logging InThe EnStation2 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.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 EnStation2 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 login screen appears, enter admin for the user-name in the top field and admin for the password in the bottom field. Figure 3-2: Windows Security Login Dialog4. Click Login to continue or Reset to abort the login.You are now ready to use the instructions in the following chap-ters to configure the EnStation2.Note:If you changed the EnStation2 LAN IP address, enter the correct IP address.
WEB CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES 3-2Best PracticesPerform the following procedures regularly to make the EnStation2 more secure and manage the EnStation2 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 EnStation2 username cannot be changed. For more information, see Configur-ing 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 EnStation2 becomes unstable or crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the EnStation2 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 EnStation2. You can simply restore your last configuration. For more information, see Config-uring Backup/Restore Settings.

BASIC NETWORK SETTINGS CONFIGURING DEMILITARIZED ZONE 4-214.3.5 Configuring Demilitarized ZoneConfiguring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applica-tions, 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 func-tion 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.DMZ Hosting Select Enable DMZ to activate DMZ functionality.DMZ Address Enter an IP address of a device on the LAN.Click Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to cancel and return previous settings.WARNING!The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks.
