1 Introduction
The ECB300 is a multi-function 802.11b/g/n product with 6 major multi-functions. The ECB300 is designed to operate in
every working environment including enterprises.
The ECB300 is a Wireless Network device that delivers up to 6x faster speeds and 7x extended coverage than 802.11b/g
devices. The ECB300 supports use in the home network with superior throughput, performance, and significant wireless
range.
To protect data during wireless transmissions, the ECB300 encrypts all wireless transmissions through WEP data encryption
and supports WPA/WPA2 encryption. The ECB300 has MAC address filtering to allow users to select differing stations to
access the network. The ECB300 is an ideal product to ensure network safety for both home and enterprise environments.

1.3 System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements in order configure the device.
ï‚· Computer with an Ethernet interface or Wireless Network.
ï‚· Windows, Mac OS, or Linux based operating systems.
ï‚· Web-Browsing Application (example: Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari, or other similar software)
1.4 Applications
Wireless LAN 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 wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily or cannot be hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with
multiple buildings, and/or areas make the installation of a Wired LAN impossible, impractical, and/or expensive.
b) Temporary Workgroups
Create temporary workgroups/networks in open areas such as parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, temporary
offices, and construction sites where one wants a temporary Wireless LAN established and easily removed.
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.
d) Frequently Changing Environments
Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
9
f) Wireless Extensions to Ethernet Networks
Extend network coverage where the network cannot reach (i.e.: There is no wired internet connection to reach certain
location of the environment).
g) Wired LAN Backup
Implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
h) Training/Educational Facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information,
information exchanges, and learning.

2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS ECB300 is essential to maximize
the ECB300’s performance. Avoid placing the ECB300 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or wardrobe.
2.1 Considerations 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 ECB300’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the ECB300 to have
optimal wireless range.
ï‚· Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ECB300 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
ï‚· Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect
on the signal strength of the ECB300. 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.
ï‚· Interferences can also come from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usual
types are microwaves and cordless phones.
11
2.2 Computer Settings (Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7)
In order to use the ECB300, you must first configure the TCP/IPv4 connection of your computer system.
ï‚· Click Start button and select Control Panel.
Windows XP Windows Vista/Windows 7
12
ï‚· In Windows XP, click Network Connections
ï‚· In Windows 7, click View Network Status and Tasks in the Network and Internet section, then select Change
Adapter Settings
ï‚· Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties
13
ï‚· Select Use the following IP address and enter IP address and subnet
mask then press OK.
Note: Ensure that the IP address and subnet mask are on the same
subnet as the device.
For example: Device IP address: 192.168.1.1
PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
ï‚· Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and select
Properties
PC subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
14
2.3 Apple Mac X OS
ï‚· Open the System Preferences (can be opened in the Applications folder or selecting it in the Apple Menu)
ï‚· Select Network in the Internet & Network section
ï‚· Highlight Ethernet
ï‚· In Configure IPv4, select Manually
ï‚· Enter IP address and subnet mask then press OK.
Note: Ensure that the IP address and subnet mask are on the same subnet as the device.
For example: Device IP address: 192.168.1.1
PC IP address: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
PC subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
ï‚· Click Apply when done.

2.4 Hardware Installation
1) Ensure that the computer in use has an Ethernet Card (RJ-45 Ethernet Port). For more information, verify with our
computer user manual.
2) Connect one end of the Category 5 Ethernet cable into RJ-45 port of the ECB300 and the other end to the RJ-45 port
on the computer that will use the ECB300. Ensure that the cable is securely connected to both the ECB300 and the
Computer.
3) Connect the Power Adaptor DC Inlet to the DC-IN port of the ECB300 and the Power Adaptor to the electrical out.
Once both connections are secure, verify the following:
a) Ensure that the Power light is on (it will be blue).
b) Ensure that the Wireless light is on (it will be blue).
c) Ensure that the LAN (Computer/ECB300 Connection) light is on (it will be blue).
d) Once all three lights are on, proceed to setting up the computer.
