ES440 Hardware Guide: Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 This Document This user guide covers preparing and installing the ES440 Fortress Mesh Point hardware. It also describes the LED indicators and recessed button operation and provides specifications. Other Fortress hardware devices are covered in separate hardware guides, one for each Mesh Point (or Network Encryptor) model. WARNING: can cause physical injury or death and/or severely damage your equipment.
ES440 Hardware Guide: Overview 1.2 The ES440 The Fortress ES440 Infrastructure Mesh Point is a full-featured Fortress network device, providing strong data encryption and Multi-factor Authentication™, including native RADIUS authentication, to users and devices on the network it secures. The ES440 contains four radios: Radio 1 is a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n radio that can be configured to use either the 802.11b/g band or the 802.11a band, with an option for 802.11n capability in either band.
ES440 Hardware Guide: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Preparation Before proceeding with installation, review the safety information in Section 2.1.1 below. 2.1.1 Safety Requirements To prevent damage to the product and ensure your personal safety, operate the Mesh Point only within the operating specifications given in Section 4.1.
ES440 Hardware Guide: Installation Grounding: Ground the ES440 by connecting a ground wire to the ES440 mounting hole and the mast mounting bracket. Radio Frequency: The Mesh Point’s internal radios conform to the FCC’s safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, provided that you follow these guidelines: Do not touch or move the antennas while the unit is transmitting or receiving. 2.1.

ES440 Front-Panel Port and LED Locations 2.2 Port Locations The ES440 Mesh Point’s power inlet, serial connector, Ethernet connectors and USB port are located on the front panel (see Figure 2.1). All ES440 front-panel ports are protected by captive covers, shown in Figure 2.
ES440 Hardware Guide: Installation The recessed button used to restore the running configuration to factory defaults (Section 3.2) is also located on the back panel, beneath a protective screw cap. 2.3 Connecting the ES440 The ES440 can be connected temporarily to preconfigure the Mesh Point software, and then permanently for deployment. 2.3.1 Connections for Preconfiguration Mesh Point software should be configured in advance of deployment.
ES440 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Button Operation Chapter 3 LEDs and Button Operation 3.1 Front-Panel LED Indicators The ES440 Mesh Point features eight LEDs on the front panel (shown in Figure 2.1). Power can exhibit: solid green - Mesh Point is powered on and operating normally. off - Mesh Point is powered off. slow-flash green - Mesh Point is booting. Status can exhibit: intermittent green - Cleartext is passing on an encrypted port.
ES440 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Button Operation 3.2 Recessed Button Operation The single recessed button on the ES440 back panel (Figure 2.3) returns the ES440 Mesh Point to the factory default configuration. The button is covered by a screw cap that you must remove, in order to access the button. You must replace the screw cap, in order to maintain the watertight integrity of the ES440 chassis. To restore default settings, depress and hold the button for 10 seconds.
