EWS850AP
Introduction
EnGenius Wireless Long Access Point solution EWS850AP is designed for deploying on the versatile indoor and outdoor application. To meet today’s requirement on varied networking environment, EnGenius would like to provide the solution as flexible, robust and effective as the organization they desire. The state-of-the-art OFDMA
Maximum data rates are based on IEEE 802.11 standards. Actual throughput and range may vary depending on many factors including environmental conditions, distance between devices, radio interference in the operating environment, and mix of devices in the network.

and MU-MIMO technology brings revolutionary connecting speed and bandwidth for diversity of multimedia applications. EWS850AP 11ax solution engineers with powerful RF interfaces that support maximum 2x2 spatial streams with 1201 Mbps in 5GHz frequency band and 574
Mbps in 2.4GHz frequency band. With robust IP67 certified casing, these access points is designed to withstand harsh environment conditions including serve and prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall, hail and humidity.
client devices to contest air resource within a channel under a pervasive environment. The MU-MIMO upload side coordinates with OFDMA upload side to arrange different types of traffic for using a proper bandwidth within a channel. The intelligent technology will carry multimedia content and web browsing data easily without consuming more time on round-trip between AP and client devices.
The smoothly transmission will reduce collision times and enhance capacity of air resource, as well as optimize users experience.
DL/UL MU-MIMO with OFDMA via Beamforming
Be a prior AX solution, EnGenius EWS850AP is not only built in powerful RF interfaces, but it also features advanced
Multi-Users Multiple input Multiple output (MU-MIMO) on both download side and upload side, which enhances a dramatic breakthrough in the performance and flexible transmission between Access Points and wireless client devices.
Beamforming is a standard in 11ax which allows Access
Points to focus energy of multiple antennas to transmit to a particular client device in that direction of that client. The innovative technology significantly enhances the higher signal-tonoise ratio and greater throughput of that client higher signal-to-noise ratio and greater throughput of that client.EnGenius
MU-MIMO allows multiple spatial streams to be allocated to different clients simultaneously, increasing totally throughput, reduce latency, capacity of the WLAN system and increase spectral efficiency on download side. Compared to download side, MU-MIMO upload side will manage varied
Enhance Capacity and Efficiency
Compared to 11ac solution, 11ax solution could carry 4x symbol OFDM symbol which can be significantly enhanced efficiency and transmitting PHY rate, as well as extend coverage on both indoor and outdoor application easily.
To carry more data at the same time, modulation has been expanded from 11ac 256-QAM to 1024-QAM which can
6
be enhanced 25% capacity of bit and reduce error margin during delivering data. The other breakthrough innovation of 11ax is to introduced BSS coloring technology for marking different colors on each data which will allows client devices to stop receiving a frame and return to sleep mode as soon as they recognize these frames are not of interest to them. The benefit of BSS coloring also reduces channel interference and channel collision of an access point, as well as improve to transmit signal easily.

Before Starting
Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scenario under varied operating modes. EWS850AP, built in the latest WiFi 6 (11ax) technology, can be configured as an: Access Point, Mesh or WDS (AP/Bridge/Station). This chapter describes purpose of different operating modes for the best deployment.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, device behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ax networks and is backward competible. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with EWS850AP. The device supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.
WDS AP Mode
The device also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connect to the other device via using WDS technology. In this mode, configure 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.
WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the device can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each 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 device 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.

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 device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.Section 15.204(b) states that an approved “transmission system” must always be marketed as a complete system including the antenna.
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
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications 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.
