Before you start __________________________________________________
The following equipments are essential to setup the ENH200:
1. One Computer/Notebook and internet accessible.
2. Two Ethernet Cables.
3. One EnGenius device – ENH200.
The equipments listed above are only for setup the ENH200, you will need more
equipment to connect the internet and it is depend on your internet network structure. You may
refer to the chapter 2 for more information.

1 Product Overview
Thank you for using ENH200. It is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 4+1
multi-functions Access Point, Access Point with WDS function, Client Bridge, WDS Bridge, and Client
Router.
ENH200 uses the latest wireless technology 802.11n standard. It has faster transmit/receive wireless
speed. ENH200 gives you a great advantage to save your time and cost to expend your network. It is
also compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g.
ENH200 is easily to install almost anywhere with Power over Ethernet for quick indoor installation
and regular Power by Adapter. ENH200 can manage power level control, Narrow bandwidth selection,
Traffic shaping and Real-time RSSI indicator. ENH200 is fully support of security encryption including
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), 64/128/1 2-bit WEP Encryption and IEEE 802.1x with
RADIUS Accounting.
1.1 Feature
The following list describes the design of the ENH200 made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older
buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either
impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established
and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently
rearrange the workplace.

e) Wireless extensions to thernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,
extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
f) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical
applications running on wired networks.
g) Training/ ducational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease
access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1.2 Benefits
Access Point Mode Use this feature to setup the access point’s configuration information.
It has support adjusting transmit power and channel. Client can access
the network with different regulatory settings and automatically
change to the local regulations.
Client Bridge Mode Use this feature to connect to an Access Point and enjoy the great
speed of surfing internet.
WDS Mode Use this feature to link multiple APs in a network, All clients associated
with any APs can communicate each other like an ad-hoc mode.
Client Router Mode This feature functions completely opposite but similarly with AP
Router Mode. Client Router connected to an AP wirelessly and
transmit internet connection protocol through AP to access the
internet.
Multiple SSIDs ENH200 supports up to 4 SSIDs on your access point. The following
options can be set to each SS to each SSID:
-SSID for public or private network
-Authentication is fully supported
-VLAN identifier
-Radius accounting identifier
-Profile isolation for infrastructure network
VLAN Specify a VLAN number for each SSID to separate the services among
clients.
QoS Use this feature to limit the incoming or outgoing throughput.
Wi-Fi Protect Access Wi-Fi Protect Access is a standard-based interoperable security
enhancement that increases the level of data protection and access
control for existing and future wireless LAN system. It is compatible
with IEEE 802.11i standard WPA leverages TKIP and 802.1X for
authenticated key management.

2 NH200 Multi-Function Instruction Guide
2.1 Access Point
In the Access Point Mode, ENH200 function likes a central connection for any stations or clients that
support IEEE 802.11b/g/n network. Stations and Client must configure the same SSID and Security
Password to associate within the range. ENH200 supports 4 different SSIDs to separate different
clients at the same time.
2.2 Access Point with WDS Function
ENH200 also supports WDS function in Access Point Mode without losing AP’s capabilities. Configure
others Access Point’s Wireless MAC Address in both Access Point devices to enlarge the wireless area
by enabling WDS Link Settings. WDS function can support up to 8 different AP’s MAC addresses.
Not every Access Point device has support WDS in Access Point Mode. It is
recommended using ENH200 if you would like to use this service.

2.3 Client Bridge
In the Client Bridge Mode, the ENH200 function likes a wireless client connecting to an Access Point
wirelessly and surf internet whenever you want. Using Site Survey to scan all the Access Point within
the range and configure its SSID and Security Password to associate with it. Connect you station to
the LAN port of the ENH200 via Ethernet.
2.4 WDS Bridge
In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH200 can wirelessly connect different LANs by just simply configure
each other’s MAC Address and Security Settings. This mode is used when two wired LANs locate in
small distance and want to communicate each other. The best solution is using ENH200 wirelessly
connect two wired LANs. WDS Bridge Mode can establish 16 WDS links, the network diagram is like a
Star.
WDS Bridge Mode is unlike Access Point. APs linked by WDS are using the same
frequency channel, more APs connected together may lower throughput. Please be aware to avoid
loop connection diagram, otherwise enable Spanning Tree Function.

2.7 Client Router
In the Client Router Mode, the ENH200 has DHCP Server build inside that allows many LANs
automatically generate an IP address to share the same Internet. Connect an AP/WISP Wirelessly and
connect to LANs via wired. Client Router Mode is act completely opposite to the AP Router Mode.

3 Computer Configuration Instruction
The default operating mode is Client Bridge. Client Bridge will not assign an IP address to the
computer/notebook. Therefore, follow the steps to assign an IP address to your Ethernet card.
3.1 Assign a Static IP
In order to configure ENH200, please follow the instruction below:
1. In the Control Panel, double click Network
Connections and then double click on the connection of
your Network Interface Card (NIC). You will then see the
following screen.
2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on the
Properties button. This will allow you to configure the
TCP/IP settings of your PC/Notebook
3. Select Use the following IP address radio button and
then enter the IP address and subnet mask. Ensure that
the IP address and subnet mask are on the same subnet
as the device.
4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and then
close LAN properties window.
IP Address entered in the TCP/IP Properties needs to be at the same subnet of the ENH200 IP Address.
For example: ENH200’s default IP Address is 192.168.1.1 so the IP Address in the TCP/IP settings
could be 192.168.1.10.

3.2 Logging Method
After complete the IP settings from last section, you can now access the web-based configuration
menu.
1. Open web browser
2. Enter IP 192.168.1.1 into you address filter.
Caution: If you have changed the ENH200 LAN IP address, make sure you enter the correct IP
Address.
3. After connected to the ENH200 successfully, browser will pop out a Windows Security window.
Please enter the correct Username and Password.
4. The default Username and Password are both admin.
If you have changed the Username and Password, please enter your own Username and
Password.

4 Status
