2 Setting up your AP20 Access Point

There are four steps to setting up an AP20 access point:

1. Linking the access point to your Art2Wave account

2. Connecting the access point to your network and power supply

3. Mounting the access point

4. Verifying connectivity

3 Linking the Access Point to your Art2Wave account

There are two ways to link your access point to your account: using your mobile device or using
the Art2Wave website.

3.1 Using your mobile device

By installing the Art2Wave mobile device app, you can scan the QR code on the back of the
access point and link it to your account. Information about the app is available at
http://art2wave.com. The mobile device app includes instructions for completing the process.

3.2 Using the Website

To link the access point to your account using the Website, sign into your account at
http://art2wave.com and follow the instructions in the Art2Wave web site to complete the
process.

4 Connecting the Access Point to your network and power supply

Connect the access point to your network by plugging an Ethernet cable into the ENET 0 port.
Do not connect to the ENET 1 port (this port is reserved for future use).

The Access point is powered either by connecting the supplied power adapter to an AC wall
outlet or by connecting the ENET 0 port to a device that provides 802.3af Power-over­Ethernet. If using the supplied power adapter, remove the cover and insert the prong as shown
in Section 1.

5 Mounting the Access Point

Note: Do not mount the access point until it is linked to your Art2Wave account.

You can mount the AP20 in the following ways:

• Ceiling mounting (with 15/16” or 9/16” rails)

• Wall mounting

• Desk mounting

5.1 Tips for selecting a location

The best location for your access point is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within
line of sight of all wireless devices. To get the best performance, consider the following:

• Mount the access point as high as possible above any obstructions

• Do not mount the access point next to building support columns or any other
physical obstructions that may cause dead zones

• Do not mount the access point near any material that may absorb or reflect Wi-Fi
signals
