Cara Setting Engenius Eoc 2610

by

I’m looking forward to the upcoming CPLUG presentation: “Unleash your home router’s potential“. As 48 users will now attest, the captive portal I’ve been building has been a pretty big success.

Dalam hal ini saya menggunakan EnGenius EoC-2610. Langkah-langkahnya: 1. Download utility RedBoot, kemudian ekstrak ke sebuah folder. Di dalam arsip tersebut terdapat sebuah batch file redboot.cmd yang nantinya akan digunakan untuk menghubungkan komputer ke device yang akan diflash. Dowload firmware resmi EOC-2610. CARA SETTING EOC-2610 Untuk AP: Setting EOC-2610 dengan menggunakan koneksi LAN (menghubungkan langsung ke pc menggunakan kabel UTP/lan) Atur konfigurasi IP server/komputer dan isi IP 192.168.1.10 subnet 255.255.255.0 dan gateway biarkan kosong,lalu OK,OK. Downloads 3 Manual and Firmware for EnGenius EOC-2610 Networks Cards. Here's where you can downloads the newest software for your EOC-2610.

Numerous attempts to fix the EOC-2610 reboot bug have all been in vain. The problem is this: the device reboots fine until the wireless modules are inserted AND the device placed into Master mode (to serve as an access-point). Removing the modules, using GPIO pin 0 instead of 5 to reset, pointing things back to the bootloader at either address 0xbfc00000 or 0xa8000000, and numerous other tests all fail. I cannot seem to locate the source that Engenius uses (which would help in finding the solution), and neither Engenius nor Senao will respond back to emails or Facebook posts. (I’ve spoken to Engenius reps in California that have pointed me to Singapore – I’ve been on hold for almost an hour there to no avail).

But enough complaining, I’ll fix that bug eventually.

Update 8/10/2010: A coworker suggested double-checking voltage and direction on GPIO pin 0, as well as ensuring that AR2315_RESET_GPIO was set correctly this morning. Sure enough, I had a problem. I’ll release a very basic patch shortly. -=Bug squashed=-

Here’s the lowdown on how to build a basic linux kernel and rootfilesystem using OpenWRT and how to install your new firmware via the Redboot bootloader. I’m posting it as a quick introduction.

First off, use subversion to grab the appropriate source. In this instance, I’m using the BackFire port:

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire

This contains everything you need to get started: toolchain, compiler, and scripts to pull in the source for the kernel and all packages that will be built. OpenWRT is very well documented, and it’s worth the time to read the README file as well to build and read the contents of the docs/ directory.

Menuconfig is used to determine not only kernel options, but packages that will be built as part of the firmware image.

cd backfire
make menuconfig

Obviously the first thing you want to do is set the appropriate Target System. For the Engenius EOC-2610, you’ll want to use Atheros AR2315:

Next, ensure you select squashfs for the Root filesystem image (under Target Image). Target Profile will only have one option (Default), so no changes are needed there. I generally use the default Global build settings (as they’re ample), but look them over if you want more advanced debugging options and to enable things like IPv6, etc.

The Image Builder option is to allow creation of a firmware image using precompiled binaries. I generally leave this and the other Main build options off..

Base system is exactly as it sounds: it’s a list of base utilities like dropbear, bridging utilities, iptables, mtd, and other items. In fact, all of the remaining options are fairly self-explanatory: Network, Libraries, Kernel Modules – they all mean what they say. If you can’t find an option, use “/” and search for it. Luckily a working firmware (that incorporates wireless) can be built with simply selecting the correct target (Atheros AR2315). You can add more features later.

When you’re ready to roll, a simple make V=99 will cause the OpenWRT system to download all the appropriate tools, compile them, and build your firmware. Obviously the first time you build an image, it will take some time. Subsequent builds focus solely on the kernel and root filesystem, not building the entire toolchain. The images are found under the bin/ directory.

Now that you have an image, one has to use the Redboot bootloader to upload it. There’s excellent documentation out there on this as well, but here’s a quick rundown:

Use a crossover cable to connect to the Engenius EOC2610’s Ethernet port. The bootloader defaults to using 192.168.1.1, so configure your IP accordingly (for this example, I’m using 192.168.1.2).

In one terminal, start pinging 192.168.1.1. Plug in the PoE adapter to start the 2610 and upon receiving an ICMP response, telnet to 192.168.1.1, port 9000. (Since you need to send a Ctrl-C to the Redboot bootloader, I have found that using puttytel seems to be the preferred method to connect to it). You may find a blank screen that doesn’t respond – if you do quickly disconnect and reconnect to the device.

When you see the above screen (and have hit Ctrl-C), you’re ready to go.

Ensure that you have a TFTP server on your local machine and that the kernel (openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma) and rootfs (openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs) are in the TFTP root location. Next, configure the bootloader to use your system as a TFTP server (and ensure that it can connect to you):

RedBoot>
RedBoot> ip_address -l 192.168.1.1 -h 192.168.1.2
IP: 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Default server: 192.168.1.2
RedBoot> ping -h 192.168.1.2
Network PING – from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2
PING – received 10 of 10 expected
RedBoot>

Uploading the kernel is easy:

RedBoot> load -r -v -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma -m tftp
Raw file loaded 0x80041000-0x80110fff, assumed entry at 0x80041000

Ensure that everything was uploaded ok and that the checksums match:

me@vonnegut/tftpboot $ cksum openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma
472679704851968 openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma

If all is well, format the flash and burn the kernel image:

RedBoot> fis init

You can then verify that the kernel is saved to flash:

RedBoot> fis list
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
RedBoot 0xA8000000 0xA8000000 0x00030000 0x00000000

Excellent – it is. Next up – the rootfilesystem. It’s loaded into memory via the TFTP server in the same fashion as the kernel (again, run a checksum to ensure all transferred fine):

RedBoot> load -r -v -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs -m tftp
Raw file loaded 0x80041000-0x801a0fff, assumed entry at 0x80041000

RedBoot>

me@vonnegut/tftpboot $ cksum openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs

Next, determine how much space is actually free in FLASH. It helps to use bc to calculate this:

RedBoot> fis free

That’s it – you’ve now uploaded your firmware to the device. Next, lets just double-check and ensure all is well, and finally – let’s boot our new image:

RedBoot>
RedBoot> fis list

At this point, detach from the telnet session (no output will be seen when the device boots), and once the system has booted – connect using telnet (or SSH if compiled).

Q: What web browsers can I use to configure the EnGenius ECB3500, EOC-2610, EOC1650, EOC / ECB-3220, EOC / ECB-8610S

A: If possible use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6+ however we have tested Safari 3.2 and Firefox 3.0 and they will also work there might be some irregularities in text formatting or menus.

Q: Why do I need to use WiFi access points can't I just use multiple low cost routers?

A: The wireless interface on a router is designed for home use and only a few users (2-3) when you put into a environment with many users it will quickly lock up. Access Points Like the ECB3500 are designed for business environments with many users up to 25. If you need more range or capacity you can add additional access points as needed. You can use router like the esr9850 for your Internet just disable the wireless interface and connect your access points to the wired switch ports.

Q: I want to use a Engenius eoc-2610/ eoc2611p / 1650 / 3220 to connect to a access point in a mobile application Boat / RV etc.

Q: Does the EUB-362 work in Linux.

A: It will work using the ndiswrapper see the howtohere

Q: What are the longest range adapters?

A: The EUB9603H and theEPI-3601S are the longest range..

In our experience the EUB9603H 802.11bgn USB adapter has the best range range with 600mW and -96dBm. It works with 802.11b g and n networks and has a large 5dBi detachable antenna. Out in the open you can get range of up to 1 mile with the stock antenna or 3 mileswith the 8.5dBI omni. TheEUB9603H also has a virtual Access Point mode that will create a hotspot around your computer for other devices to connect to and share the remote Internet connection. TheEUB9603H has drivers for windows and Apple MAC. You can purchase one here

The EPI-3601S PCI card also has the good range with 600mW of power and -95dBm receive sensitivity. You can purchase one here

You can also use high powered client bridge with a computer having a ethernet connection no drivers are required so any OS will work.

Q: When will a high power 802.11abg adapter be available with external antenna leads?
A: We have a 300mW 802.11a/b/g Cardbus card here.

Q: Do you have a high power 802.11abg client adapter with a fixed antenna?

A: Yes the EUB-862 has up to 200mW and supports 802.11abg

Q: What chipset does the 2511cd plus use?

A: It uses the prism 2.5 chipset and works with netstumbler, and remote exploit auditor. Beware some are selling the 100mW prism 3.0 mercury card which does not work with auditor and has much shorter range.

Q: does the 2511cd plus ext2 have a built in antenna?

A: no it requires a clip on or external antenna with pigtail. On the 2511 CD PLUS EXT2 with external antenna leads there is a 'main' and 'aux' antenna lead. Hold the card with the PCMCIA connector part pointing to the right, the top of the card facing you (with the light on top), the main antenna is the one on the bottom. You only need to attach ONE antenna to this card to have it work properly. The second antenna lead (auxilliary) is only needed if you want to support receive diversity.

Q: does the 2511cd plus have antenna connectors?

A: no it has a built in 2dBi antenna and no connectors it is best for use in a laptop because external antennas can break off the ext2 card.

Q: should I use the 2511cd plus in a desktop?

A: you can with a pcmcia bridge but you are better off using theEUB-362 USB adapter or the EPI-3601S PCI adapter

Q: is the 2511cd plus and ext2 supported under linux

A: yes, wlanng and hostap driver work.

Q: will the 2511cd plus and ext2 work with remote exploit auditor?

A: yes, the card is supported but your laptop might not be you will have to try different versions of auditor and see what works with your hardware.

Q: will the eub-362, 2511cd plus, 5354cb, 2054cb frisbee work with netstumbler?

A: yes, the cards with work using the ndis driver. You must select the ndis driver from netstumblers adapter menu.

Q: My computer appears to have installed a Spanish driver. What happened?
If you find your computer has installed the spanish Red Inalambrica ADSL branded drivers, you have Automatic Update turned on. Here is the solution: Symptom: Configuration utility language changes to Spanish once driver and card are installed and system is rebooted.
A: This is a Windows Update Issue. When plugged in to an internet network connection, Windows Update automatically searches for the 'correct' drivers for the hardware that is installed (i.e. the wireless network card). Even if the drivers have already been installed from the cd, Windows Update seems to replace those drivers with new ones. These drivers are the ones that change the configuration utility language to Spanish.

Q: what drivers should I use for the cards?

A: use the drivers on the disk they are the best available do not use drivers from the EnGenius or Senao website they might not work.

Q: will my EnGenius bridge work with any 802.11 access point?

A: yes, in client bridge mode they act just like any other standard 802.11 client.

Q My ECB / EOC 3220 does not seem to have the range I expected.

A: This device has adjustable power output and ships in the lowest setting high. To increase the power output to 400mW go to wireless advanced setting and change output power level to extreme.

Q I can not select a higher power level on my ECB / EOC 3220 in AP mode.

A: Power output is limited by data rate by the FCC.

The following table shows the possible power levels.

Q Why is the WLAN light is not lit on my ECB-3220 in ap mode?

A: The WLAN light will only comes on once a client has associated this way you know when the wireless network is in use.

Q What are the POE requirements for the ECB-3220

A: The ECB-3220 is 802.3af compatible and requires a 48v injector here. The injector does not need to support 802.3.af but it must be 48v.

Q: what is the longest range access point / client bridge?

The ECB-8610S here has 600mW of transmit power and -95dBm receive sensitivity it currently has the best range over 50 percent better than the ecb-3220.

The ECB-3220 here has 400mW output and receive sensitivity -94bBM (the 400mW is only achieved in 802.11b mode). The 3220 series has the most developed firmware with many features.

The2611cb3 here with the high output 200mW and receive sensitivity -95dbm they have the 2511cdplus ext2 card inside.

even though they are only 802.11b they are still good for outdoor long range over a long distance because only 802.11b data rates will be useable.

802.11bg bridges are best for indoor use where the higher data rates will be available 802.11b only bridges are lower cost and can be used in long range applications.

Q: What units support support repeater?

A: The ECB/EOC-3220 units have WDS repeater and universal wireless repeater (with separate SSID for repeater) modes.

The ECB/ EOC 8610S and 3610s have WDS repeater.

TheECB3500 units have WDS repeater and universal wireless repeater (with sames SSID)

TheEAP3660 has WDS repeater

TheEAP9550 has WDS repeater

Cara Reset Engenius Eoc 2610

TheEAP300 has WDS repeater

The EOC2611P has WDS repeater

TheENH200 andENH200 EXT have WDS repeater

Q: How do I configure repeater modes.

Engenius Eoc 2610 Access Point

A:

With WDS repeater function you must use the same units and configure the MAC address under WDS

With universal wireless repeater you can connect to any make model 802.11 access point.

Q: why should I not use repeating?

A: it reduces bandwidth by 1/2 for every hop and increases latency. you must locate the repeater within 50% signal range for a good connection. In most cases it is best to use a wired access point instead.

Q: is there updated firmware for my unit?

A: use the firmware shipped with your device if you think you need to update call EnGenius support first EnGenius at wlan@EnGeniustech.com or 888-735-7888 x517 do not download and update firmware unless you know what you are doing you could destroy your device and void the warranty.

Q: My 2611CB3 is acting funny how can I reset it to the factory defaults?

A:

First check you power cube make sure it is set to 110v they ship at 230v

remove power from the cb3
press and hold reset button
apply power
wait for 8 seconds
release reset.

Q: My new ECB-8610S is making a ticking sound.

A: This is normal the sound will go away in 24 hours or unit warms up and does not affect operation.

Q: How do I reset the eoc-2610, eoc-5610, eoc-1650, ecb3500 or eap-3660 to factory default.

Q: Are high powered WLAN products dangerous?

Cara Setting Engenius Eoc 2610 User

A: High powered LAN products radiate very little power compared to other everyday devices.

A 600mW access point is only generating .6W or 6/10 of a watt by comparison a cellphone that you hold to you head can have between .75W and 1W of power. A bag phone or CB radio can have 4W of power. A nightlight bulb uses 3W of power or 3000mW.

That said you should properly use high gain antennas and stay within theFCC limits for EIRP.
