Qwik Install
STEP 1:
Choose a mounting location with good line of sight to the re-
mote location. The supplied bracket can be mounted to a wall or to an
existing pole up to 2” diameter. If only short distances are needed, the
antenna can be mounted inside a building.
TECH TIP: Microwaves trave in straight ines and they ose
strength quick y when going thru bui dings and trees. If there are
objects in the microwave path, then useab e distance wi be reduced. If
the target unit is ess than 1 mi e away then you won’t have to worry too
DANGER! Avoid Powerlines!
You Can Be Killed!
When following the instructions in this guide to install the EZ2 take ex-
treme care to avoid contact with overhead power lines, lights and power
circuits. Contact with power lines, lights or power circuits may be fatal.
We recommend to install EZ2 no closer than 20 feet to any power lines.
Safet : For your own protection, follow these safety rules.
▫ Perform as man functions as possible on the ground
▫ Do not attempt to install the antenna on a rain , wind or
snow da or if there is ice or snow accumulation at the install
site or if the site is wet.
▫ Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when ou are
working on a roof or ladder.
▫ Watch out for an power lines which ma be overhead, under-
ground or behind walls., keeping safel clear of them with the
antenna, ladders or an tools.
▫ See appendix for FCC RF exposure guidelines
Recommended Tools: Pliers , Screws and screwdriver if
mounting to a wall. NOTE: You should be familiar with using
tools such as these before attempting installation of EZ-Go™.
You should be comfortable with working on a ladder.
GROUNDING: Local building and electrical codes require that
the antenna be properl grounded. Improper installation ma
seriousl damage the equipment or building, as well as cause in-
jur or death to ou. Run a ground wire 10AWG or bigger from
mounting bracket of antenna to a good earth ground (Cold water
pipe or metal stake in ground).

much about a coup e obstructions but if over 1 mi e and there are some
obstructions in the microwave path, then the performance wi be re-
duced.
STEP 2: Mount the Bracket
To mount to a wall: The supplied u-bolt is
not used and the bracket is screwed directly
to a wall using customer supplied screws.
To mount to a pole: Use the supplied U-Bolt
and wing nuts. Make sure to use a lock
washer at each wing nut. Tighten wing nuts
evenly by hand. Use pliers if additional tight-
ness is needed.
STEP 3:
Mount the antenna housing to the
bracket. Put the hex head bolt thru the housing
back fin. Put the star lock washer so it is be-
tween plastic housing and metal bracket. Install
wing nut with lock washer. Adjust desired tilt an-
gle and tighten wing nut. Use pliers if additional
tightness is needed.
TECH TIP: Because of the specia y designed wide beamwidth an-
tenna, pointing is not critica and simp y pointing in the genera di-
rection of the receiving antenna wi yie d great resu ts.
STEP 4:
Remove the antenna bottom cover by using a coin
or house key or screwdriver to push in one of the side
snaps and then remove the cover.
STEP 5:
Route a CAT5 cable through the
bottom cover and plug into the RJ45 Jack
inside the unit. Keep the black gasket ma-
terial in the bottom of the cover to help
keep out dust and insects.
STEP 6: Route CAT5 cable from the EZ-
Go™ into the building. Always create a strain relief near
the antenna so the cable is not pulling directly on the an-
tenna. Use the CAT5 strain relief hook feature built into
the housing back fin. The Ethernet spec allows for a maxi-
mum cable length of 100 meters or about 328 feet.
STEP 7: Install the RJ45 connector on the POE Inserter to
the router, switch or computer. Attach the CAT5 cable from
the antenna to the RJ45 output port of the POE Inserter.

Insert power supply DC plug to the POE Inserter DC Jack. Plug the
power supply into a surge protected AC power source to power up the

Software Settings
1. There is an HTML management system built into every EZ-Go
®
unit
which is accessed thru a standard web browser. The unit can communi-
cate thru the CAT5 ethernet cable connection or thru the wireless con-
nection, so you can manage remote units from a single location.
2. IP ADDRESS: Default IP address for the EZ-Go
®
is 192.168.1.1. To
access the EZ-Go
®
your computer IP address must be on the same
subnet ie; 192.168.1.xxx.
TECH TIP: Download the EZ Discovery Tool from http://www.e-
zy.net/support/2plus/Utility/ . This tool will assist you in finding the
EZ-Go
®
on the network and allow you to change the IP address or set it
as a DHCP client. Just select the unit, click on IP DETAILS, make se-
lections and save changes directly to the device.
3. SECURITY: The following security changes are recommended :
a. PASSWORD: Change the user name and password by go-
ing to SYSTEM | PASSWORDS and setting the first user name
and password. The defau t is no user name or password for
ease of system setup
b. ENCRYPTION: Set an encryption type and key. We recom-
mend WPA2 because it is most secure, but if this install is as a
client the encryption type and key must match the Access
Point.
6. SITE SURVEY: The site survey is a very useful tool to determine
what wireless devices are within range of your
EZ-Go
®
and could be a
source of interference that could cause degraded performance. Go to
WIRELESS and then click on SITE SURVEY then REFRESH. The list
will show all wireless devices including channel #, MAC Address and
relative signal strength of all the devices within the range of the EZ-Go
®
7. FACTORY DEFAULTS: If at any time the system stops working be-
cause of changes made to the settings, you can get back to the original
settings by resetting to factory defaults. Go to ADMIN | SAVE/RELOAD
SETTINGS, then Reset Settings To Default. Any customized settings
will be lost once this process is initiated.

8. UPGRADE FIRMWARE: For the latest firmware point your browser
to http://www.e-zy.net/support/2plus/Firmware/ . Download the latest
firmware to your PC. Select UPGRADE from the menu and then browse
for the new file.
Advanced Features
The EZ-Go
®
has many advanced features if more functionality is de-
sired. To access the advanced features, click on Advanced Web at the
top of the menu tree. This will activate the advanced menu options.
The EZ-Go
®
can operate as Access Point, Client, WDS, AP+WDS,
Point to Point. Go to WIRELESS | BASIC SETTINGS to change wire-
less mode. Go to ETHERNET | IP SETTINGS to change network op-
eration mode from Bridge default) to Router.
Since documentation for these advanced modes is too extensive to
cover here please retrieve the documentation online at http://www.e-

Additional Information you may find useful
1. RAIN, SNOW, ICE – The 2.4GHz frequency being used by the EZ-
Go
®
will not be affected by heavy rain or falling snow. You should not
see any performance degradation due to inclement weather. If snow or
ice collects on the front of the antenna, you may see some reduced per-
formance assuming you are shooting a long distance >3miles) and the
ice or snow buildup is greater than 1” thick on the surface of the an-
tenna. For this reason, we suggest mounting under an eave of a house
if feasible for your particular situation.
2.SUN AND HEAT– The EZ-Go
®
is constructed of all UV protected
materials so it will survive for many years in the most extreme of solar
environments ie; an Arizona rooftop during the summer). The unit has
been tested and qualified for constant operation at over 122 deg F am-
bient temperature. Even though the EZ-Go
®
is designed for long term
survivability in extreme environments, we would still recommend that
the unit be mounted in a more protected location, like under a roof eve,
if possible. Of course if line of sight is better with the antenna mounted
in a non-protected environment then we would recommend the better
line of sight mounting location.

3.LIGHTNING – Lightning is the single worst enemy of outdoor elec-
tronics equipment. No electronics will survive a direct strike but there
are close proximity strikes that can cause huge electrical fields to be
generated which can damage electronic equipment. We have taken
special care in the design of the EZ-Go
®
unit to ensure proper ground-
ing of the electronics inside the enclosure to prevent damage from elec-
trical storms. Make sure that the POE Power Supply is plugged into a
surge protected outlet such as a surge protected power strip or UPS
inside the house.
5.PAINTING – The EZ-Go
®
unit can be painted to match a particular
house color. Only non metallic enamel or latex paints should be used. If
a paint with metal content is used, it will block the microwaves and
cause reduced performance.
