Product Overview

Introduction
The EWS660AP is a high-powered, long-range 3x3 Dual-Band Wireless 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Outdoor Access Point with speeds up to 450
Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz band. This Access Point is designed to operate in a variety of outdoor environments. Its
high-powered, long-range characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range and
reach to connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a business network. The EWS660AP supports 2.4 GHz
frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time provides 5 GHz band under 802.11ac/a/n mode for communicating to
and from 5 GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or for transferring files. Several EWS660APs can be deployed in a campus
setting using the 5 GHz band as a backhaul to provide multiple 2.4 GHz wireless cells for computers or mobile devices in common
outdoor areas.
The EWS660AP is easy to install in virtually any location with its included PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for quick outdoor
installation. The EWS660AP enables network administrators to control its transmit power and feature settings for selecting narrow
bandwidth and traffic shaping. The EWS660AP also supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.

Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications
made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs:
Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be
hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based
LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution.
Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums,
amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or
temporary Wireless LAN established.
The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for learning purposes.

Before You Begin

Before You Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius Access Point is essential to maximize the
Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing the Access Point in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in
the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceili ngs,
or other objects that the Access Point’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key
guidelines for allowing the Access Point to have an optimal wireless range during setup.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the Access Point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or
ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength.
Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the Access Point. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open
doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can
also diminish wireless signal strength.
Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the Access Point’s
signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

Computer Settings
Windows XP/Windows 7
In order to use the Access Point, you must first configure the TCP/IPv4 connection of your Windows OS computer system.
1. Click the Start button and open the Control Panel.
Windows XP Windows 7
2a. In Windows XP, click on Network Connections.

2b. In Windows 7, click View network status and tasks in the Network and Internet section, then select Change adapter
settings.
3.Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then select Properties.

5. Select Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is different from the
Access Point and Subnet mask, then click OK.
Note: Ensure that the IP address and Subnet mask are on the same subnet as the
device.
For example: Access Point IP address: 192.168.1.1
PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 –192.168.1.255
PC Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Apple Mac OS X
1. Go to System Preferences (it can be opened in the Applications folder or by selecting it in the Apple Menu).
2. Select Network in the Internet & Network section.
3. Highlight Ethernet.
4. In Configure IPv4, select Manually.
5. Enter an IP address that is different from the Access Point and
Subnet mask, then click OK.
Note: Ensure that the IP address and Subnet mask are on the same
subnet as the device.
For example: Access Point IP address: 192.168.1.1
PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 –192.168.1.255
PC Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
6. Click Apply when finished.

Hardware Installation
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the main LAN
port (PoE) of the Access Point and the other end to the AP
Ethernet port on the PoE injector.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the DC-IN port of the PoE
injector and plug the other end in to an electrical outlet.
3. Connect the second Ethernet cable into the LAN port of
the PoE injector and the other end to the Ethernet port on
the computer.
4. Once both connections are secure, verify the following:
a) Ensure that the POWER light is on (it will be green).
b) Ensure that the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz WLAN light is on (it will
be green for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz).
c) Ensure that the LAN (Computer/AP Connection) light is
on (it will be green).
d) Once all three lights are on, proceed to set up the Access Point using the computer.
Note: The Access Point supports both IEEE 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet) or the included power injector. You may use
either one as the power source. Do NOT use both at the same time.

Mounting the Access Point
Using the provided accessory, the Access Point can be mounted on a wall or on a pole.
To attach the Access Point to a wall:
1. Attach the location sticker to the desired location on the wall and use a 6mm drill bit to drill the two marked holes.
2. Insert the screw anchors into the 6mm holes drilled then insert and the screws and tighten.
3. Align the access point over the keyhole mounting slots and insert both screw heads into each keyhole slot. Then slide the
access point downward until it’s firmly hooked in place.
