Chapter 1 Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the EOA7530. The EOA7530 is a dual‐radio wireless outdoor Access Point/Client/Bridge designed as an enterprise‐scale product to deliver unparalleled range and performance on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local‐area networks (WLANs). With certified IP‐65 protection, the EOA7530 is designed to deliver high reliability whether installed indoors or outdoors.

The EOA7530 is actually three devices in one: an Access Point, a Client Bridge, and a Client Router. Its wireless capabilities allow you to deliver Internet and intranet connectivity in locations where wired connections are not possible or practical.

The EOA7530 contains two radio‐frequency (RF) interfaces, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that support IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g standards. Depending on the operating mode, the EOA7530 can use one or both RF interfaces at the same time. The EOA7530 also supports Power over Ethernet and is equipped with an external N‐type antenna that delivers superior wireless signal quality, even in the harshest environments. Best of all, the antenna is upgradeable.

In addition, the EOA7530 can manage power level control, Wireless Access Control, and Wi‐Fi Multimedia (WMM), and show real‐time received signal strength indicator (RSSI) status. For security‐conscious users, the EOA7530 fully supports encryption, including Wi‐Fi Protected Access (WPA‐PSK/WPA2‐PSK), 64/128/152‐bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x RADIUS encryption.

1.1 Features

The following list summarizes the key features of the EOA7530.

‐Operates as an Access Point, Client Bridge, or Client Router

‐Works concurrently with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks for optimum throughput
