Introduction
The AP is a great performance, the state-of-the-art 802.11ac and MU-MIMO technology bringsrevolutionary connecting speed and bandwidth for diversity of
multimedia applications. EAP2200 equips with two powerful RF interfaces thatsupportup to 867 + 867 Mbps in 5GHz frequency band and 400 Mbps in 2.4GHz
frequency band (with 2ss/VHT40 clients). Itcan be configuring as an: Access Point, Repeater, or WDS (AP, Station & Bridge). 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 AP supports the 2.4GHz frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n modes while at the same time providing 5GHz band under
802.11 ac/a/n modes for communicating to and from 5GHz capable computers, tablets or smart phones or transferring files. Several APs can be deployed in a
campus setting using the 5GHz band as a backhaul to provide multiple 2.4GHz wireless cells for computers or mobile devices in common indoor areas.
The AP is easy to install in virtually any location with PoE (Power over Ethernet). The AP enables network administrators to control its transmit power and feature settings
for selecting narrow bandwidth and traffic shaping. The AP also supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption, and
IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.
EnGenius three dedicated bands Wireless Management Access Point solution is designed for deploying on the versatile indoor application. To meet today’s
requirement on varied net-working environment, EnGenius would like to provide the solution as flexible, robust and effective as the organization they desire. With one
2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands to work with, the EAP2200 assigns each device to the band where it can connect at its maximum possible speed.

System Requirements
The following are the Minimum System Requirements in order to configure the device:
Computer with an Ethernet interface or wireless network capability
Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7, 8), or Mac OS
Web-Browsing Application (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or another similar browser application)
Package Contents
The package contains the following items (all items must be in package to issue a refund):
EAP Indoor Access Point
Mounting Bracket
Bracket Screw
Quick Installation Guide
Power Adaptor

Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to installand highly efficient. The following list describessome 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 unk nown obstacles in the environment in which
the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the Access Point’s wireless
signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some ke y 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 andopen the Control Panel.
Windows XP Windows7
2a. In Windows XP, click on Network Connections.

2b. In Windows 7, click View network status and tasksin the Network and Internet section, then select Changeadapter settings.
3. Right click on Local AreaConnectionandselect Properties.
4. Select InternetProtocol Version4(TCP/IPv4)andthenselect Properties.

5. Select Use the followingIP address andenteranIPaddressthat 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

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 a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the PoE In (LAN/Uplink) port on the rear of the Access Point.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to a PoE Ethernet switch or the PoE Out port on the PoE injector.
3. Using another RJ45 Ethernet cable, connect one end to the Ethernet port on the computer, and connect the other end to another port on the PoE
Ethernet switch or to the Data In port on the PoE injector.
4. Provide power to the PoE injector/switch.
5. Verify that the Power LED on the AP is steady orange.
6. Proceed to set up the Access Point using the computer.

Mounting the Access Point
Using the provided hardware,the AP can be attached to a ceiling orwall.
To attach the AP to a ceiling or wall using the mounting bracket:
A) Slide the ceiling mount base into the slot of the Access Point.
B) Hold the Access Point with one hand ti reach the other hand over the T-Rail sides of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of
the ceiling mount bracket onto the T-Rail.
