dress to match the subnet of your network. Be careful not to cre-
ate any IP address conflicts.
Default IP address for the EZ-Base™ is
192.168.1.1. To access the EZ-Base™ with your browser your com-
puter IP address must be on the same subnet ie; 192.168.1.xxx.
TECH TIP
: Download the EZ Discovery Tool from http://ez-
bridge.com/support/support.htm
. This tool will assist you in finding
the EZ-Base™ on the network and allow you to change the IP address
or set it as a DHCP client. Just select the unit, click on IP DETAILS,
make selections and save changes directly to the device.

WIRELESS MODE:
The EZ-Base™ comes in Access Point (AP)
mode by default. The EZ-Base™ can be configured as an AP or Client
or WDS or AP+WDS or Point to Point. It also can be configured as a
repeater.
AP
—Communicates with multiple 802.11 clients in a point to multipoint
configuration. Typically the AP can service about 30 clients.
Client
—Communicates with any 802.11 AP in a point to multipoint con-
figuration. Security must be set to match the AP security before trying to
connect.
WDS
—Communicates with up to 4 other WDS devices to create trans-
parent bridging between several points. Communicates on MAC layer.
To setup WDS you need the units to be on the same wireless channel;
they must have the same WDS security settings; Enter unit A’s MAC
address into Unit B’s WDS table and vice versa.
AP+WDS
—Used to create a bridge that also acts like an AP. The de-
vice communicates with another WDS device thru a WDS bridge and
then broadcasts the signal as an AP to allow client devices to connect.
Security for WDS and AP are set independently. AP+WDS would be
used when there is a single internet source and multiple AP’s are
needed to cover a wide area with WiFi coverage. For a successful WDS
setup see WDS above.
Point To Point
—Creates a point to point transparent bridge between
two points. This is normally used to connect two buildings or to create a
backhaul between two points. To create a successful Point to Point
setup, both units must be on the same wireless channel; set to same
security settings; Enter Unit A’s MAC address into Unit B’s BSSID field
and vice versa.
Repeater
—The AP picks up a signal from another wireless AP and re-
broadcasts it to another location. This is useful if a signal needs to turn
a corner around an impenetrable object or to increase the range. To
setup the repeater, enter the remote AP’s SSID into the Repeater SSID
