System Requirements

The EnGenius Cloud is primarily accessible with a web browser or mobile app. Before signing up for the EnGenius Cloud Service or logging on to the EnGenius Cloud Platform to manage your network, ensure that you’ve downloaded the right app and used the supported browser.

Mobile App:
EnGenius Cloud To-Go (iOS/ Android supported)
Download the Cloud To-Go mobile app here

Web Browser:

Google Chrome (57.0.2987.110 and later)
Microsoft Edge (80.0.361.103 and later)
Mozilla Firefox (52.0 and later)

Network Requirements

Before you get started, please make sure your network environment is DHCP- enabled. EnGenius Cloud Access Points (ECW series) are default assigned an IP address dynamically by the DHCP server.

If you encounter issues with IP address assignment, you may want to change your IP assignment from “DHCP mode” to “Static IP”. Please check the “User Manual: Login to Local Access Page” for more details.

LEDs

EC130 has four LED indicators, PWR/ LAN1/LAN2/ 2.4GHz/ 5GHz.

Hardware Mounting

The access point can be mounted on the Ceiling and Wall, and please perform the steps for the appropriate installation:

Ceiling Mount

– T-Rail

Slide the Ceiling Mount Base into the slot of the Access Point.
Slightly Hook the ceiling mount bracket onto the T-Rail until you hear a click sound.

Wall Mount

Determine where the Access Point is to be placed and mark the location on the surface for the two mounting holes. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill two 8.1mm diagram and 26mm depth holes in the markings.
Screw the Anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall; screw the included Screws into the Anchors, but leave the screw head sticking out so you can hang the Access Point on it.
Hang the Access Point against wall onto the Screw heads.

Configure with EnGenius Cloud

Step1: Register Device and Assign to Network

You can register the device either by Cloud To-Go mobile app or the EnGenius Cloud platform.

Step2: Power On Device

The EnGenius Cloud AP devices can be powered by any of the following:

EnGenius Cloud PoE Switch or 802.3at PoE+ compliant Switch
EnGenius PoE adaptor (EPA5006GP/EPA5006GAT)
Power Adapter (DC 12V/2A power input)

Do not use both power sources at the same time.

Connecting to a PoE Switch

Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Cloud AP directly to the PoE port of the PoE switch.
AP is powered by a PoE Switch
Connecting to a PoE Switch

Powered with a PoE Adapter

(A) Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN (PoE) port of EnGenius Cloud AP and the other end to the PoE port on the PoE Adapter.
(B) Connect the power cord with the PoE Adapter and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
(C) Connect the second Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the PoE Adapter and the other end to the Ethernet port on the computer.
Please ensure to use cat5/cat5e UTP/STP RJ45 Ethernet cables.

Powered with a Power Adapter

Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.
AP is powered with a power adapter

Step3: Connect to the EnGenius Cloud

Once the device is powered on and ready to connect to the Internet, the LED indicator will stay Solid On, which means the device is now connected to the EnGenius Cloud Platform. It will automatically download the default configuration settings from EnGenius Cloud for automated provisioning.

When the Access Point is connected to the EnGenius Cloud Platform for the first time, it will automatically check the latest firmware version available. If the firmware upgrade is required, it might take 8~10 minutes to complete the process. The LED indicator will be Flashing (0.5 sec) till the process is finished.

Step4: Manage with the EnGenius Cloud

Log in to the EnGenius Cloud platform to configure detailed settings. For more information, please refer to User Manual.
EnGenius Cloud Dashboard

Troubleshooting

If your AP cannot be managed by the EnGenius Cloud Platform, there might be a problem with connecting to EnGenius Cloud.

To troubleshoot the connection issue, you may log in to the Device Local Access page:

Use your client device (e.g., a laptop, mobile device, or tablet) to find the SSID: “EnMGMTxxxx” (xxxx is the last four digits of MAC – MAC would be found on the back of the device) and connect to it.
Under your web browser, enter the URL: http://EnGenius.local or http://192.168.1.1 to access the device’s user interface.
You can review the device status after logging into the AP with the default admin account/password (admin/admin).
Check the information on Network Connectivity and take action if necessary.
ECW AP’s Local Access Page

Change IP Assignment Settings
By default, the EnGenius Cloud Access Point (ECW series) is assigned an IP address dynamically by the DHCP server. If you encounter issues with IP address assignment, please double-check the IP setting, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, proxy, and management VLAN. If the issue still exists, you may change your IP assignment from “DHCP mode” to “Static IP” via the following procedure.

Go to the Local Setting section.
Change IPv4 settings to “Use Static IP”.
Configure the IP address, gateway, subnet mask, and proxy settings.
Reconnect this device to the LAN network and try again.

For more details, please refer to the “User Manual-Troubleshooting ECW AP“.
