3. Select Use the following IP Address button and then enter the IP
address and subnet mask. 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: 192.168.1.70
PC and Device subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and once again to close LAN
properties window.
There are two ways that a TCP/IP address is assigned to a computer; either
Dynamically or with a Static method (Manually). These are outlined below:
Static: If you don’t have a DHCP server running, for any reason, you will have to
give your PC a specific address that you will have to configure Windows Vista IP
manually. Here is a short walk through:
1. Go to the Start Orb and click Control Panel. In the control panel click
Network and Internet
3. In the Network and Sharing Center look along the left pane and click
Manage Network Connections
This will bring up a window with your Network Connections this will vary by
computer and what is installed. In this case you need to right click on the
adapter you want to configure. Choose Properties.

1. You now will see the Network Adapter properties window that will have all
the protocols and services attached to that network adapter. 99% of users
are still on IPv4 networks, compared to IPv6. If this is true, then select
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list of protocols and
click Properties
2. On the properties page you will set the button to use the following IP
address and then configure the following according to your network:
# IP Address
# Subnet Mask
# Default Gateway
# Preferred DNS
# Alternate DNS
4. In almost all the cases all you have to do is hit Ok and you will be ready to
go.
5. If you had clicked the Advanced buttons you would have options to setup
multiple IP’s, Gateways, DNS and WINS settings. These are advanced
concepts that are beyond the scope of this procedure guide.

Configuring unit as an Access Point
1. Enter the default IP address (192.168.1.1) of the bridge into the address
bar of the web-browser.
** If you have already configured a user name and password, please enter
them into the corresponding fields in order to continue. **
3. Once you have logged in, click on the System Properties tab (under the
heading System) within the Web Based Configuration User Interface
menu.
4. Since this device is shipped in Client Bridge mode by default you will
need to change the operation mode of the unit.
5. Select Access Point from the Operation Mode selection within System
Properties. From this screen you will also set the Device Name, i.e.
(Main Office, Side A) & Country/Region. In order to apply that setting
change, you must click on the “Apply” button.
6. Wait for about 30 seconds and the device will automatically restart into
Access Point mode.

Setting Up a Point to Point Link (i.e. Backhaul)
1) First, you will need to start with two units (EOC-2610 or EOC-5610).
2) Once logged into Radio 1, click on System Properties. You’ll then select
WDS Bridge under Operation Mode. From this screen you will also set
the Device Name & Country/Region. Click “apply” to save settings.
3) After system restarts you will now select WDS Link Settings under
Wireless. Select Enable under Mode. Now enter the “Wireless MAC”
address of the Radio 2. You can find this on the back of the unit. Here
again you will click Apply to save your changes.
4) Once the unit restarts you’ll need to set a unique IP Address to the unit to
match your network address scheme. In order to accomplish this, you
would click on the IP Settings tab under the System section.
**NOTE** The computer you are using to configure these units needs to
be configured in the same address range as the radio or you will be
unable to communicate with the radio.
5) Once the unit has restarted under Wireless you will click on Wireless
Network. Here you will set the Wireless Mode & Channel/Frequency.
**NOTE** For EOC-5610 users you’ll have the choice of either 2.4GHz or
5.8GHz.
6) Next you will unplug the patch cable from the POE injector LAN port and
move Radio 1 to the side, but leave powered on. Take Radio 2 and plug
in, power on and login as described in the previous steps.
7) When you login into Radio 2 click on System Properties. Then click WDS
Bridge. Again you’ll set the Device Name & Country/Region. Click apply
to save changes.
8) After system restarts you will now select WDS Link Settings under
Wireless. Select Enable under Mode. Now enter the “Wireless MAC”
address of Radio 1. You can find this on the back of the unit. Click Apply
to save your changes.

your network address scheme. In order to accomplish this, you would click
on the IP Settings tab under the System section. Click Apply to save
your changes.
10) To verify you have established communication between the 2 units click
on WDS Link Status under Status. You should see “UP” under the
