System Requirements
Installation of the EKI-6311G Outdoor Wireless Access Point/Client Bridge
requires the following:
1.
A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer
(
PC system requirement
:
better than PIII 800 or other 100% compatible equipment , OS:windows 2000/XP )
or
Ethernet data device with an available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the
configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the Ethernet
network.
2.
A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to Ethernet
network.
3.
An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.

Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The EKI-6311G is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The Inline
Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to EKI-6311G unit via a signal
Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve the performance vs.
installation cost ratio.
¾
This unit works great in areas where you may not have power , like
house roof.
¾
This also allows you to place the EKI-6311G unit closer to the antenna,
to make installation easier more thus reducing signal loss over antenna
cabling.
¾
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal doesn't
do as well over antenna cabling.
¾
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.
