The EnGenius Cloud AP devices can be powered by any of the following:
EnGenius Cloud PoE Switch or 802.3af compliant Switch
Power Adapter (DC 12V/1A power input)
Do not use both power sources at the same time.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Cloud AP directly to the PoE port of the PoE switch.
Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.
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.
Log in to the EnGenius Cloud platform to configure detailed settings. For more information, please refer to User Manual.
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.
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.
