No outdoor APs are built to withstand a direct lightning strike. To prevent a directly ligtning stirke into outdoor APs,
they should be properly grounded to a viable path for lightning surge to deliver to ground so that is does not go into the

23
Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scenario under varied operating modes.The AP
has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes purpose of different operating modes and lists down
the operating modes for outdoor Access Points or Client Premise Equipments (CPE).

Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, AP behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n networks.
The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate
with the AP. The AP supports up to eight SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.

Client Bridge Mode
The Access Point essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless
access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the Access Point can
broadcast to reach all end-devices.
If you use the client bridge mode in this Access Point, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points
within range. When you find an Access Point, configure this Access Point to use the same SSID and Security Password as
the Access Point to associate with it.

25
The AP can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless 802.11b/g/n 2.4 or ac/a/n
5 GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional
antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.

WDS AP Mode
The AP also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless stations to connect with Access Point via using
WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses or SSIDs in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area
by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS AP mode supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses and four (4) SSIDs at the same
time.

WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the Accesss Point can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each Access Points. Use this operating mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to
communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the Access Point to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as
shown in the following diagram.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) to eight (8) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency
channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to
generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to
prevent this from happening.

Appendix A
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 21 cm between the radiator & your body.

This device is a 5GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries, except in France
and Italy where restrictive use applies.
In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting
up outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP
in the frequency range of 2454 – 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information the end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.
