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.
ECW215 only has one LED indicator with two colors (Green / Blue)
The access point is designed for wall-mounting and can be deployed in three ways:
Attaching to a Wall with anchors
Attaching to a wall without anchors
Please perform the steps for the appropriate installation:
Remove the cover plate of your junction box.
Align the Short Junction Plate to the junction box and use the original junction box cover screws to fasten the Short Junction Plate to the box.
3. Attach the Access Point to the Short Junction Plate.
Mark the locations of the two mounting holes on the wall surface.
Drill two holes with 6.5mm diameter and 35mm depth on the marks.
Insert the Anchors into the drilling holes until they are flush with the wall.
4. Align the Tall Junction Plate over the drilling holes and then tighten the screws into the Anchors.
5. Fasten the Access Points to the Tall Junction Plate.
Mark the locations of the two mounting holes on the wall surface.
Align the Tall Junction Plate over the drilling holes and then tighten the screws into the holes.
3. Fasten the Access Points to the Tall Junction Plate.

The EnGenius Cloud AP devices can be powered by any of the following:
EnGenius Cloud PoE Switch or 802.3af/ 802.3at PoE+ compliant Switch
EnGenius PoE adaptor
Power Adapter (DC 12V 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.
LAN 1/ LAN 2 (PoE In)
You can only choose one port (LAN1 or LAN2) to power up the ECW215 access point.
LAN 3 (PSE Out)
With 802.3at PoE+ in, you can use the LAN3 port as PSE Out to provide 50V DC, 0.19A, and 9.8W(MAX) to a powered device.
(A) Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN (PoE) port of EnGenius 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.
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.
For more details, please refer to the "User Manual-Troubleshooting ECW AP".
