1Product Overview
Thank you for using ENH202. It is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 4
multi-functions Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS and Client Router.
ENH202 uses the latest wireless technology 802.11n standard. It has faster transmit/receive
wireless speed. ENH202 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.
ENH202 is easily to install almost anywhere with Power over Ethernet for quick indoor
installation and regular Power by Adapter. ENH202 can manage power level control, Narrow
bandwidth selection, Traffic shaping and Real-time RSSI indicator. ENH202 is fully support of
security encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), 64/128/152-bit
WEP Encryption and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.
1.1 Feature
The following list describes the design of the ENH202 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 Ethernet 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/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity
to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

2 ENH202 Multi-Function Instruction Guide
2.1 Access Point
In the Access Point Mode, ENH202 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. ENH202 supports 4 different SSIDs
to separate different clients at the same time.
2.2 Access Point with WDS Function
ENH202 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 ENH202 if you would like to use this service.
2.3 Client Bridge
In the Client Bridge Mode, the ENH202 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 ENH202 via Ethernet.
2.4 WDS Bridge
In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH202 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
ENH202 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.
2.5 Client Router
In the Client Router Mode, the ENH202 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 ENH202, 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 ENH202 IP
Address. For example: ENH202’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 ENH202 LAN IP address, make sure you enter the correct IP
Address.
3. After connected to the ENH202 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
Status section is on the navigation drop-down menu. You will then see three options: Main,
Wireless Client List, System Log, WDS Link Status, Connection Status, and DHCP Client Table.
Each option is described in detail below.
4.1 Save/Load
