1 Product Overview
Thank you for using the ENH210EXT. It is a powerful and enhanced business-class product
with 4 multi-functions: Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS, and Client Router.
EnGenius’ ENH210EXT uses the latest wireless standard, 802.11n, which allows for faster
wireless throughput. The ENH210EXT affords a great advantage to minimize the time and cost
which is required to expand your network. It operates at 2.4GHz and is also backwards
compatible with 802.11b/g networking equipment.
The ENH210EXT is easy to install almost anywhere with included standard/proprietary Power
over Ethernet adapter for quick outdoor installation. In addition, the ENH210EXT can
manage power level control, and it features narrow bandwidth selection, traffic shaping and
real-time RSSI indication. The ENH210EXT fully supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), (64/128/152)-bit WEP Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x
with RADIUS. Additionally, the ENH210EXT is an ideal choice to pair with the ENH210EXT in
an Access Point – Client Bridge or WDS Bridge – WDS Bridge topology.
The ENH210EXT provides a proprietary PoE adapter. Please only use the
supplied PoE adapter. ENH210EXT also supports standard 802.3af/at PoE supplier.
Damage may occur if another proprietary PoE adapter is used.
1.1 Features
The following list describes the design and scope of the ENH210EXT made possible through
the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. For example, historic
and older buildings as well as open areas and cross-street architectures make the
installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN
established and removed at a future date. The ENH210EXT is easy to place into
and remove from production.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors and nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and
