RANGE

  —    Useable  distance  with  the  included  omnidirectional  an-

tenna is about 500yds at 5GHz and up to about 1 mile at 2.4GHz. To 
get  more  distance  from  the  EZ-Base  you  will  need  to  use  an  external 
antenna  which  you  can  purchase  from  any  of  our  distributors.  A  good 
24dBi antenna should give about 15 miles distance. The practical limit 
is about 20 miles due to the curvature of the earth unless the equipment 
is mounted on a tall tower or mountain. The ACK timing default  in the  
Wireless  Advanced  Settings  page  is  91.  When  the  software  sees  the 
default value of 91 it actually switches to auto mode and ACK timing will 
be set automatically based on the best settings for the actual distance. 
If  you  over-ride  the  default  value,  the  software  will  use  the  value  that 
you entered. This is also true of other timing settings. We highly recom-
mend leaving these settings at default for best performance. 

7. 

ACCESS POINT CAPACITY 

—  We recommend a max of about 35 

clients per access point. The EZ-Base™ can handle up to 50 but per-
formance will be degraded with too many concurrent clients.  

8. 

POWER  CYCLING  THE  RADIO  BOARD 

—  Because  this  is  a  bat-

tery backup system, the only way to cycle power on the Radio Board is 
to open the enclosure and disconnect  one of the battery wires from the 
controller. The other way is to unplug the POE Power supply from the 
AC  source  and  waiting  15  hours  for  the  controller  to  turn  off  power  to 
the  radio  board.    The  Radio  board  can  be  rebooted  through  the  web 
interface either through the wireless side or Ethernet side. You can also 
reboot the unit from the Discovery Tool.

COMMON MICROWAVE BARRIERS 

 

Tinted windows are made by 

applying  a metalized film to the  window. If a  window has tinting, it  will 
usually  block  the  microwaves  and  cause  reduced  performance  of  the 
EZ-Base™ . Concrete walls are also a significant barrier to microwave 
signals. Aluminum siding on houses is also a barrier to microwave sig-
nals. Wood frame houses covered with brick or stucco are pretty trans-
parent to microwave signals and they will reduce the signal strength but 
the signal will still pass thru the structure. We are bringing this up to you 
so you can better understand possible causes of performance issues 

10.

VOICE OVER IP (VOIP) 

 

The EZ-Base™ supports  all VOIP stan-

dards  making  it  possible  to  use  VOIP  phones  across  any  EZ-Base™ 
link. We recommend setting he Data Rate to a fixed value when using 
VOIP if clicking is heard in the VOIP. You can set data rate to a fixed 
value on the Wireless Advanced Settings page.
