The EWS385AP has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of above three
models.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the EWS385AP behaves like 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 associate with the EWS385AP.

AP Mesh Mode
Under the AP Mesh mode, the EWS385AP can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the EWS385AP can be congured with the same Mesh SSID and security
password in order to associate with other EWS385AP, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and encryption
signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the other band
to broadcast trac on the network.

Device Name: Enter a name for the device. The name you
type appears in SNMP management. This name is not the

Band Steering (Available on ENS620EXT): Enable Band
Steering to send 802.11n clients to the 5 GHz band,
where 802.11b/g clients cannot go, and leave 802.11b/g
clients in 2.4GHz to operate at their slower rates. Before
implementing this feature, we suggest you to assure the
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID, as welll as security settings
must be the same. EnGenius Band Steering supports
following advanced settings,
*Force 5GHz: When band steering is congured to Force
5GHz mode, the AP will not dual band capable client
devices to network to the 2.4GHz band only if the client
devices are not currently associated on 2.4GHz radio in
this AP.
*Prefer 5GHz: When band steering is congured to Prefer
5GHz mode, the AP will steer dual band capable client
devices to 5GHz radio when the RSSI value of these
client devices on 5GHz radio is more than set one. The
allowed RSSI value for default setting is -75dBm.
*Band Balance: When band steering is congured to
Band Balance mode, the AP will steer dual band capable
client devices to 5GHz when the RSSI value of these client
devices on 5GHz radio is more than set one. To evenly
allocate RF resource on the both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
radios, users also can set the portion of client devices on
5GHz radio to assure smoothly connection. The default
value of the 5GHz radio is 75%.

Management VLAN Settings
This page allows you to assign a VLAN tag to packets sent
over the network. A VLAN is a group of computers on a
network whose software has been congured so that they
behave as if they were on a separate Local Area Network
(LAN). Computers on VLAN do not have to be physically
located next to one another on the LAN.
Note: Only applicable in Access Point and WDS AP
modes.
Management VLAN: If your network includes VLANs, you
can enable Management VLAN ID for packets passing
through the Access Point with a tag.
Save: Click Save to conrm the changes or Cancel to
cancel and return to previous settings.
Note: If you recongure the Management VLAN ID, you
may lose your connection to this AP. Verify that the
DHCP server supports the recongured VLAN ID and
then reconnect to this AP using the new IP address.

these messages, SNMP compatible devices (called agents)
returns the data stored in their Management Information
Bases.

This device is a 5GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries, except in France and Italy
where restrictive use applies.
In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting up out-
door radio links and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the fre-
quency range of 2454 – 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information the end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.
