2 Before you Begin

This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS EAP150 is very important to maximize the EAP150's performance. Avoid placing the EAP150 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or wardrobe.

2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation

The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to ensure that you have the most optimal wireless range.

• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP150 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
• Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the EAP150. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can also lower your wireless signal strength.
• Interferences can also come from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usual types are microwaves and cordless phones.

2.2 Computer Settings (Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7)

In order to use the EAP150, you must first configure the TCP/IPv4 connection of your computer system.

Encryption

The encryption method to be used on the corresponding SSID.You can choose between WEP, WPA Pre-Shared Key, or WPA RADIUS.·Disabled - No data encryption is used.·WEP - Data is encrypted using the WEP standard. WEP is the Wired Equivalent Privacy security over a wireless network.·WPA-PSK - Data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. WPA-PSK is Wi-Fi Protected Access using a Pre-Shared Key. This is the equivalent of password protecting your wireless network.·WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.·WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.If this option is selected:·This Access Point must have a Client Login on the Radius Server.·Each user must have a User Login on the Radius Server.·Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.·All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required.

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is then processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication.
