Benefits

The E

NH500 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:

Ideal for hard-to-wire environments

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.

Temporary workgroups

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.

B

ENEFITS

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 facilitate access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

2.2 Installing the Device

Installing the

ENH500 on a pole or wall optimizes the wireless access range.

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 E

NH500.

Pre-Installation Guidelines

Select the optimal location for the equipment using the following guidelines:

The E

NH500 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.

Web Configuration

Chapter 3

3.1 Logging In

The

ENH500 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

ENH500 Web Configurator.

1. Launch your Web browser.

2. In the browser address bar, type 192.168.1.1 and press the Enter key.

Note:

If you changed the E

NH500 LAN IP address, enter the correct IP address.

Best Practices

Perform the following procedures regularly to make the

ENH500

more secure and manage the

ENH500 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

ENH500 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

ENH500 becomes unstable or crashes.

If you forget your password, you will have to reset the

ENH500 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

ENH500. You can simply restore your last configuration. For more information, see Config-

uring Backup/Restore Settings.

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 sensitive information on the DMZ host.

4.5.6 Configuring Firmware Upgrade

Firmware is system software that operates and allows the administrator to interact with the router.

!

WARNING!

Upgrading firmware through a wireless connection is not recommended. Firmware upgrading must be performed while connected to an Ethernet (LAN port) with all other clients disconnected.

The firmware upgrade procedure can take several minutes. Do not power off the E

NH500 during the firmware upgrade, as it can cause the device to crash or become unusable.

To update the firmware version, follow these steps:

1. Download the appropriate firmware approved by EnGenius Networks from an approved web site.

Note:

Save the firmware file to a local hard drive.

2. Click Choose File.

3. Browse the file system and select the firmware file.

4. Click Upload.

5. The E

NH500 restarts automatically after the upgrade completes.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

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 off 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.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
