ThankyouforusingEOA3630.Itisapowerful,enhanced,enterprisescaleproductwith7
multi‐functionsAccessPoint,AccessPointwithWDSfunction,ClientBridge,WDSBridge,Repeater,
APRouterandClientRouter.

EOA3630iseasilytoinstallalmostanywherebywallmountkitandalsosupportPoweroverEthernet
forquickoutdoorinstallation.ExternalN‐typeantennaprovidesbetterwirelesssignalqualityandthe
antennaisupgradeable.

EOA3630canmanagepowerlevelcontrol,Narrowbandwidthselection,Trafficshapingand
Real‐timeRSSIindicator.EOA3630isfullysupportofsecurityencryptionincludingWI‐FiProtected


1.1Feature
ThefollowinglistdescribesthedesignoftheEOA3630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.

4
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.

IntheWDSBridgeMode,theEOA3630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EOA3630wirelessly
connecttwowiredLANs.WDSBridgeModecanestablish16WDSlinks,theconnectiondiagramis
likeaStar.
Auction:WDSBridgeModeisnotfunctionlikeAccessPoint.APslinkedbyWDSareusingthesame
