1 Introduction
The eWAV EW75000 series is a family of hardened outdoor wireless access points
(WAP) and client bridges providing high speed wireless connectivity for harsh and
demanding environments. Comprised of high-power, long-range single and
dual-band IEEE 802.11ac MIMO wireless radios with gigabit IEEE802.3at PoE
connectivity, the series is hardened against extreme temperatures and water ingress.
eWAV delivers the power and range (up to 40 kilometers) to wirelessly connect
remote networks, or extend existing networks in an efficient and cost-effective way. It
supports 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n for local device access like laptops, wireless IP
cameras, or mobile devices, and also 5 GHz 802.11ac/a/n for long distance data
transmission. Maximum transmission speeds are up to 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 866
Mbps on the 5GHz band.
The series can be used for Point-to-Point (PTP) wireless networks, connecting two
locations together through line of sight (LOS). Typical PTP applications include
building to building connectivity, replacing fiber-optic cable, and wireless failover for
wired connections.
Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) wireless communication is also supported. PTMP
wireless networks connect access points to multiple locations through both LOS and
non-line-of-sight (NLOS). Some common PTMP applications are: Connecting
multiple buildings, video surveillance systems, and replacing fiber-optic cable.
Installation is greatly simplified by Power-over-Ethernet support, allowing for
mounting in locations where there is no power outlet. Network administrators can
control the transmission power and setting remotely, including bandwidth control and
traffic shaping. Wireless encryption is supported for added security.

2 Installation
Unpacking the Hardware
Unpack the items and confirm that no items are missing or damaged. Your package
should include:
 One EW75000 series hardened wireless access point (AP) or subscriber unit
 Zero, two or four omnidirectional antennas, depending on model
 Mounting bracket set
 Grounding wire
 Quick installation guide
If any item is damaged or missing, notify your authorized EtherWAN representative. Keep
the carton, including the original packing material, in case you need to store the product or
return it.
Supplying Power
All EW75000 series models are PoE Powered Devices, and have no AC or DC power
socket. Power is supplied through an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ45 port. The
cable must be connected to a switch that supports PoE, or an inline power injector.
Maximum power consumption is 13 watts.
Warning: Do not apply power to the device until all supplied antennas have been
securely attached.

Digital Configuration
Use an Ethernet cable to connect a PC to the PoE switch or power injector, and another
cable to connect the switch/injector to the EW75000. Use a web browser to navigate to the
default IP address, and log in.
Note: The PC being used to configure the EW75000 Series must be on the same
subnet as the EW75000. It may be necessary to change the PC’s IP address temporarily.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.20
User name is root, no password.
If you need to reset the switch to its default configuration from a remote location, you will
need to log in with full administrator rights.
Login: administrator
Password: eWAV750o0!
It is highly recommended to change both the root and administrator passwords before
putting the device into regular service.
The Quick Set page will display by default. Select the function mode from the drop-down
menu in the upper right corner. The fields displayed depend on the mode selected.
Alternatively, you can exit the Quick Set page by clicking the “Advanced Mode” tab in the
upper right corner, and going directly to the main screen. See chapter on configuration for
details.
Connect Antennas
The EW75000 is equipped with an internal directional antenna, which provides
long-distance coverage in the direction it is pointing.
Depending on the model, your AP might come with two 5 GHZ and/or two 2.4GHz
antennas. Screw the antennas into the corresponding threaded sockets in the housing.
