1Intro uction
The
ERA150
is a high-powered, long-range wall mount wireless 802.11b/g/n access point with two major functional
modes. The ER 150 was designed to operate in numerous environments from large homes, small and medium-sized
businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its high-powered, long-range
characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to connect
to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The ER 150 delivers up to 3x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage than legacy 802.11b/g wireless devices.
Even though the ER 150 has been designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it is
also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless range of an existing home router,
especially in very architecturally-challenging structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the ER 150 offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WP and WP 2 encryption. The ER 150 also includes M C address filtering to
allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and other devices based on their M C
addresses.

Quick Installation Guide
1.3 System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements in order configure the device.
Computer with an Ethernet interface or Wireless Network function
Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS, or Linux based operating systems
Web-Browsing pplication (i.e.: Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari, Chrome or other similar software)
1.4 Applications
Wireless L N (WL N) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many
applications made possible through the power and flexibility of WL Ns:
a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be installed or deployed easily or cannot be hidden from view. Older

8
buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas make the installation of a Ethernet-based L N impossible,
impractical or expensive.
b) Temporary Workgroups
Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building – auditoriums, amphitheater
classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or
temporary Wireless L N established.
c) The Ability to Access Real-Time Information
Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access real-time information while dealing
with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
) Frequently Changing Environments
Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
e) Small Office an Home Office (SOHO) Networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
f) Wireless Extensions to Ethernet Networks
Devices like the ER 150 enable network administrators, installers and end-users to extend the range and reach of an
existing Ethernet-based network.
g) Training/E ucational Facilities
Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information,
information exchanges, and learning.

2Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS ER 150 is essential to maximize
the ER 150’s performance. void placing the ER 150 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or wardrobe.
2.1 Consi erations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the ER 150’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the ER 150 to have
optimal wireless range.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ER 150 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
Building materials makes a difference. solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative
effect on the signal strength of the ER 150. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a
drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets and/or brick can also lower your wireless signal strength.
Interferences can also come from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise. The most
usual types are microwaves, or cordless phones.
