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 networkconnections
 PPPoE/PPTP function support make it easy to access the
Internet via Internet Service Provider (ISP) service
authentication

Benefits
The EnStation2 is the ideal product around which you can build
your WLAN. The following list summarizes a few key
advantages that WLANs have over wirednetworks:
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, orimpossible.
Temporary Workgroups
WLANs make it easy to provide connectivity to temporary work-
groups that will later be removed. Examples include parks,
athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recoveryshelters,
temporary offices, and constructionsites.
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, mobileworkers, and warehousepersonnel,can
access thedata they need and increase productivity, without
having to look for a place to plug into thenetwork.
Frequently Changing Environments
WLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms,retail
stores, and manufacturing sites where workplaces arerear-
ranged frequently.
Wireless Extensions to Ethernet Networks
WLANs enable network managers in dynamic environmentsto
minimize overhead caused by moves, extensions tonetworks,
and other changes.
Wired LAN Backup
Network managers can implement WLANs to providebackup
for mission-critical applications running on wirednetworks.
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 EnStation2 on a pole or wall optimizes the wire-
less 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 theEnStation2.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
Select the optimal location for the equipment usingthe following
guidelines:
 The EnStation2 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 betterthe
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
Toinstall the EnStation2, use the following procedure tomount
the device on a pole and refer to the figurebelow:
1. Remove the bottom cover protecting the RJ-45
connectors.
2. Insert an Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeledLAN.
3. Install the bottom cover to protect the RJ-45connectors.
4. Remove the power cord and PoE injector from thebox
and plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE
injector.
CAUTION!
ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE
E N S TATION 2. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT
DAMAGETHE E N S TATION 2.
