Thank you for choosing ENS202. The ENS202 is a long range,
high performance IEEE 802.11b/g/n network solution that pro-
vides Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS, and Client Router
functions in a single device.
In addition to providing the latest wireless technology, the
ENS202 supports Power over Ethernet and Power by Adapter
capabilities, which allow the device to be installed easily in
nearly any indoor or outdoor location. Advanced features
include power level control, traffic shaping, and Real time RSSI
indication.
A variety of security features help to protect your data and pri-
vacy while you are online. Security features include Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Access (WPA PSK/WPA2 PSK), 64/128/156 bit WEP
Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.

width to be used to reach various distances
RSSI indicator makes it easy to select the best signal for
Access Point connections
Power-over-Ethernet capabilities allow for flexible installa-
tion locations and cost savings
Four SSIDs let clients access different networks through a
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 network connections
PPPoE/PPTP function support make it easy to access the
Internet via Internet Service Provider (ISP) service
authentication

trators remotely configure or manage the Access Point
QoS (WMM) support enhances performance and user
experiences

PRODUCT OVERVIEW BENEFITS
1-3
Benefits
The ENS202 is the ideal product around which you can build
your WLAN. The following list summarizes a few key advan-
tages that WLANs have over wired networks:
Ideal for hard-to-wire environments
There are many scenarios where cables cannot be used to con-
nect networking devices. Historic and older buildings, open
areas, and busy streets, for example, make wired LAN installa-
tions difficult, expensive, or impossible.
Temporary workgroups
WLANs make it easy to provide connectivity to temporary work-
groups that will later be removed. Examples include parks, ath-
letic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery shelters,
temporary offices, and construction sites.
Ability to access real-time information
With a WLAN, workers who rely on access to real-time informa-
tion, such as doctors and nurses, point-of-sale employees,
mobile workers, and warehouse personnel, can access the data
they need and increase productivity, without having to look for a
place to plug into the network.
Frequently changed environments
WLANs are well suited for showrooms, meeting rooms, retail
stores, and manufacturing sites where workplaces are rear-
ranged frequently.
Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
WLANs enable network managers in dynamic environments to
minimize overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks,
and other changes.
Wired LAN backup
Network managers can implement WLANs to provide backup
for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
Mobility within training/educational
facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities are a
few examples where wireless connectivity can be used to facili-
tate access to information, information exchanges, and learn-
ing.

2.2 Installing the Device
Installing the ENS202 on a pole or wall optimizes the wireless
access range.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
Select the optimal location for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
The ENS202 should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its loca-
tion should enable easy access to the unit and its connec-
tors for installation and testing.
The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the
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
To install the ENS202, use the following procedure to mount the
device on a pole and refer to the figure below.
1. Remove the bottom cover protecting the RJ-45 connec-
tors.
2. Insert an Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled LAN.
3. Install the bottom cover to protect the RJ-45 connectors.
4. Remove the power cord and PoE injector from the box
and plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE injec-
tor.
Note:
Only experienced installation professionals who are famil-
iar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities should install the ENS202.
CAUTION!
ONLY USE THE POWER ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THE
ENS202. USING A DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTER MIGHT
DAMAGE THE ENS202.

6. Turn over the ENS202. Then insert the pole mounting
strap through the middle hole of the ENS202. Use a
screwdriver to unlock the pole-mounting ring putting it
through the ENS202.
7. Mount the ENS202 securely to the pole by locking the
strap tightly.
This completes the installation procedure.
