Chapter 1 Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the ENH700EXT. The ENH700EXT is a dual-radio wireless outdoor Access
Point/Client/Bridge designed as an enterprise-scale product to deliver unparalleled range and
performance on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local-area networks (WLANs). With certified IP-68
protection, the ENH700EXT is designed to deliver high reliability whether installed indoors or
outdoors.
The ENH700EXT is actually three devices in one: an Access Point, a Client Bridge, and a Client Router.
Its wireless capabilities allow you to deliver Internet and intranet connectivity in locations where
wired connections are not possible or practical.
The ENH700EXT contains two radio-frequency (RF) interfaces, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that support IEEE
802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n standards. Depending on the operating mode, the ENH700EXT can use
one or both RF interfaces at the same time. The ENH700EXT also supports Power over Ethernet and
is equipped with an external N-type antenna that delivers superior wireless signal quality, even in the
harshest environments. Best of all, the antenna is upgradeable.
In addition, the ENH700EXT can manage power level control, Wireless Access Control, and Wi-Fi
Multimedia (WMM), and show real-time received signal strength indicator (RSSI) status. For
security-conscious users, the ENH700EXT fully supports encryption, including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), 64/128/152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x
RADIUS encryption.
