Ezmaster: Aws: Step-By-Step Setup and Configuration

This document provides step-by-step instructions for setting up an ezMaster server on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to remotely manage EnGenius access points. It outlines launching an EC2 instance using the preconfigured ezMaster AMI, configuring associated security groups to allow necessary traffic, and accessing the ezMaster web interface using the public DNS or IP address. Key steps include selecting an EC2 instance type to support the desired number of access points, adding inbound rules for HTTP/HTTPS and CAPWAP ports, and testing connectivity once complete.

ezMaster: AWS

Step-by-Step Setup and Configuration

Author: Milo Van C. Cruz


Introduction
Amazon Web Services provides a selection of cloud computing server options. One of them is the EC2. Amazon
EC2 is more than capable to handle the ezMaster sever which can hold up to 10,000 APs in management.

EC2 also offers a 12-month free tier, called the t2.micro, which is good enough to handle 500 APs for
management.

The AWS option is great for clients who wish to manage EnGenius Neutron Series and other EnGenius 802.11ac
wave 2 products on the cloud.

This document serves as a walkthrough on how to setup the AWS based ezMaster c1.9.
Amazon EC2 Server Specs
t2.micro – 500 APs (free tier):
• 1 vCPU
• 1 GB RAM
• 30 GB SSD (20 GB minimum required for ezMaster)

t3.xlarge – 10,000 APs (check AWS for pricing details):


• 4 vCPU
• 16 GB RAM
• -- GB SSD (20GB minimum required for ezMaster)
Requirements
• AWS account (card details required)
• Neutron Series or any EnGenius 802.11ac wave 2 Access Points
• Stable internet connection
Setup

drop down menu, and key
in EnGenius on the search
box.

10. This is a review of the AMI
details, click on Launch.
Setup
11. Create a new key pair and
store this file in a safe place.
Launch the instance
afterwards.
Setup
12. This will show the status of
your ezMaster Instance. The
instances shown here are
your VMs. The ezMaster
that you have just launched
will show the status as
running after it boots up.

13. On the bottom part, click on


the Security Group. Note
that your security group
name may be different from
the screenshot.

Warning: Setting up multiple instances


may incur additional charges from
Amazon. Kindly check their pricing
details for further information.

selected. The security group
is basically the firewall
settings.

Setup
16. An SSH port will be pre-set
here, delete that for
security purposes.

17. Add the following inbound


rules:

• TCP 80 and TCP 443 – To


access your ezMaster
through HTTP/HTTPS. TCP
80 is also used for the
Captive Portal service and
ezReg communication.

• UDP 1234 – For CAPWAP.


Setup
18. All traffic is set on the
Outbound rules by default,
you may carry on. But for
your information, the
following specific ports
used are:

• TCP 80 and UDP 53 – for


ezReg communication.

• TCP/UDP 587 – utilized

IP information is assigned
automatically by AWS.
These are where you can
access your ezMaster’s
home page.

20. Key in either the DNS or IP

the ezMaster.
Setup
21. The default login for the
ezMaster is admin /
password. We highly
recommend to modify the
password upon log in.

for registration.
Setup
23. To confirm that your
ezMaster server is ready to
manage APs, run the
Connectivity Test.

24. For any error on the results,


kindly check your Security
Groups if you have missed
out certain ports.
Thank you!
