introduces the EdgePoint(TM), part of the EdgeMAXplatform. The first application-specific designed WISP control point, the EdgePoint combines EdgeMAX routing features with fiber backhaul and versatile powering capabilities. The EdgePoint is available in three models:

EP-R6: Layer-3 router
EP-R8: Layer-3 router
EP-S16: Layer-2 switch with some layer-3 capabilities

Breakthrough in Tower Deployment
The EdgePoint features FiberProtect to significantly reduce electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures and electromagnetic interference (EMI),
greatly improve data signal integrity, and consolidate the wired data backhaul to a single fiber cable run for long-distance connectivity.

All-in-One Design
A single, compact controller efficiently eliminates clutter, expensive cabinets, extraneous installations, and excessive maintenance.

Robust Construction
The ruggedized case withstands outdoor conditions, including wind, rain, and snow. The included cable sleeve protects the cables and cable opening. If you prefer, you can swap it out for your own conduit.

Advanced Applications
For the EP-R6 and EP-R8, powerful routing features – such as load balancing and failover– provide redundancy and increased performance for outdoor wireless links. For the EP-S16, layer-2 link aggregation provides similar redundancy and increased performance benefits.

Versatile Power Options
Powered by 54 V DC or by PoE, the EP-R8 and EP-S16 can support 54 or 24 V passive PoE to power all products, including airFiber and airMAX. Powered by 24 V DC or by PoE, the EP-R6 can support 24 V passive PoE to power most products.

Intuitive User Interface
The EdgePoint features a graphical user interface designed for convenient setup and control. Accessed via a network port and web browser, the user-friendly interface provides intuitive management with a virtual view of the ports, displaying physical connectivity, speed, and status. Depending on whether you are configuring a router (EP-R6 or EP-R8) or switch (EP-S16), the configuration interface will differ.

Routing Configuration
The EP-R6 or EP-R8 offers robust features, including:

VLAN interfaces for network segmentation
Static routes and support of routing protocols: OSPF, RIP, and BGP
Firewall policies and NAT rules
Application identification with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
DHCP services
Quality of Service (QoS)
Network administration and monitoring tools
Administrator and operator accounts
Comprehensive IPv6 support

Switching Configuration
The EP-S16 provides advanced features, including:

MSTP/RSTP/STP
VLAN, Private VLAN, Voice VLAN
Link Aggregation
DHCP Snooping, IGMP Snooping
TACACS+, RADIUS, 802.1X, MAC Filtering, ACL
DiffServ, CoS
Static Routing, Policy-Based Routing

Configuration by CLI
The CLI provides quick and flexible configuration by command line and features the following:

For power users, configuration and monitoring of all advanced features
Direct access to standard Linux tools and shell commands (EP-R6 or EP-R8 only)
CLI access through the following:

Serial console port (EP-R8 or EP-S16 only)
SSH
Telnet
Graphical user interface (EP-R6 or EP-R8 only)

Hardware Overview
The EP-R6 features five RJ45 Ethernet ports and one SFP Ethernet port.
