Thank you for choosing EnStation 5. The EnStation 5 is a long
range, high performance IEEE 802.11a/n network solution that
provides Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS, and Client Router
functions in a single device.
In addition to providing the latest wireless technology, the
EnStation 5 supports Power over Ethernet and Power by
Adapter capabilities, which allow the device to be installed eas-
ily in nearly any indoor or outdoor location. Advanced features
include power level control, traffic shaping, and Real time RSSI
indication.

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.

High-speed data rates up to 300 Mbps make the EnSta-
tion 5 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 802.11a/IEEE 802.11n-com-
pliant 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

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
BENEFITS
1-3
Benefits
The EnStation 5 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 environments
There 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 workgroups
WLANs 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 information
With 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 environments
WLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms, retail
stores, and manufacturing sites where workplaces are rear-
ranged frequently.
Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
WLANs enable network managers in dynamic environments to
minimize overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks,
and other changes.
Wired LAN backup
Network managers can implement WLANs to provide backup
for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
Mobility within training/educational
facilities
Training 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.

INSTALLING THE DEVICE
2-2
2.2 Installing the Device
Installing the EnStation 5 on a pole or wall optimizes the wire-
less access range.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
Select the optimal location for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
The EnStation 5 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 Device
To install the EnStation 5, 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 EnStation 5.
CAUTION!
ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE ENSTA-
TION 5. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT DAM-
AGE THE ENSTATION 5.

appropriate for your operating system, use that computer’s
Web browser to log in to the EnStation 5 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 Bar
3. 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 Dialog
4. 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 EnStation 5.
Note:
If you changed the EnStation 5 LAN IP address, enter the
correct IP address.
BEST PRACTICES
3-2
Best Practices
Perform the following procedures regularly to make the EnSta-
tion 5 more secure and manage the EnStation 5 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 EnStation 5 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 EnStation 5 becomes unstable or crashes.
If you forget your password, you will have to reset the
EnStation 5 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 EnStation 5. You can simply restore
your last configuration. For more information, see Config-
uring Backup/Restore Settings.

CONFIGURING PORT FORWARDING

4.3.4 Configuring Port Forwarding
Port forwarding enables multiple server applications on a LAN to serve clients on a WAN over a single WAN IP address. The router
accepts incoming client packets, filters them based on the destination WAN, or public, port and protocol and forwards the packets to
the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the firewall.
NO. Displays the sequence number of the forwarded port.
Name Displays the name of the forwarded port.
Protocol Displays the protocol to use for mapping from the following: TCP, UDP or Both.
Start Port Displays the LAN port number that WAN client packets will be forward to.
End Port Displays the port number that the WAN client packets are received.

CONFIGURING DEMILITARIZED ZONE

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 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.
