Hardware Mounting
The EOC655/EOC655-C18/EOC655-C23 can be mounted on the Pole, please perform the steps for the appropriate installation:
Pole Mount
Place the L-shaped plate on the device and fix the four screws on L-plate into the device.
Insert the screws tightly to the pole and L-plate fixed with the device.
Please loosen the metal strap, pass it through the Pole Mount Bracket and Pole, adjust it to the desired height, and then tighten the metal strap.
4. Secure the machine onto the Pole Mount Bracket through the L-shaped bracket using two M8 screws (Note: Do not tighten at this point).
5. Finally, adjust the machine to the desired angle, then tighten the M8 screws.
Weatherproof Instructions
Crimp with RJ45 connector at one end of the straight-through cable and keep the other end bare.
Insert the RJ45 end of the cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port inside the enclosure. The cable should latch into the Ethernet port.
Seal the Ethernet cap tightly into the device to make it weatherproof.
Crimp the bare end of the cable with an RJ45 connector and connect it to the PoE Injector with an Ethernet Cable.
Grounding the Unit
For proper grounding, attach a grounding cable at the grounding point at the bottom corner of the device and connect the other end to common ground to protect the device against lighting or ESD events.
Configuration using SkyPoint and SkyConnect
Step 1: Power On Device
The EnGenius Broadband Outdoor Access Points can be powered by any of the following:
EnGenius Cloud PoE or 802.3at PoE+ Switch
EnGenius PoE Adapter
Do not use both power sources at the same time.
Connecting to a PoE Switch
Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Outdoor AP directly to the PoE port of the PoE switch.
Powered with a PoE Adapter
(A) Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the 2.5G LAN (PoE 48V) port of EnGenius Outdoor 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 to the LAN port of the PoE Adapter and the other end to the Ethernet port on the computer.
Step 2: Connect to Device
Device registration can be completed using the SkyConnect mobile app or the SkyPoint network management system (NMS).
SkyConnect Mobile App
Download and Install: Once the link opens, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the SkyConnect App on your device.
Start Using the SkyConnect App
To begin using SkyConnect:
1. Locate the SkyConnect icon on your device's home screen or in the app drawer.
2. Tap the icon to launch SkyConnect.
3. Upon opening, SkyConnect will ask for certain permissions to function optimally.
- Allow SkyConnect to access this device's location: this permission required for generic functioning of the app.
- Allow SkyConnect to access photos and media on your device: this permission required for config backups and firmware upgrade.
4. After successfully installing the app on your smart device, launch the app. In the SkyConnect app, navigate to the home screen and select ‘Change Network’.
5. The EOC655 device will broadcast a 2.4GHz management SSID. The SSID format will be ENMGMT<last 6 digits of the 2.4GHz radio MAC address>. For example, it might look like “ENMGMT408E7D”.
6. The default password for management SSID is “12345678.” Select the network name that matches your device's format from the list of available networks and connects to it.
7. If you see a pop-up window on your mobile device, please click on "Connect only this time".
8. Once connected, tap on the device image to start configuring and managing the EOC655.
Step 3: Manage with NMS, SkyPoint
Log in to the SkyPoint network monitoring platform using localhost: (or local IP address) and port number 8980. The default credentials are admin/admin.
1. After logging in to the SkyPoint page, click 'Settings,' then click 'SNMP Config'.
2. On the SNMP Config page, click 'Create' to configure SNMP. Then, select SNMP Version and enter the Begin IP Address, End IP Address, Read Community, and Write Community. Finally, click on 'Create' to complete the configuration. *The default Read Community and Write Community on EOC655 are public/private.
3. After configuring SNMP, click on 'Discovery,' enter an IP Address or the IP Range, then click 'Start' to discover the device. Afterward, click 'OK' in the popup window.
4. Once the device is discovered, the next steps are to select 'Provision,' choose the device, click 'Apply' to provision the device, and then click 'Provision' to confirm your intention to provision these devices.
5. Click 'Yes' in the popup window to confirm the provisioning of the device.
6. Then click 'OK' in the popup window.
7. After completing the device provisioning, return to the Dashboard. Now, you can start monitoring and managing the EOC655.
