Chapter 1 Introduction

The WAP-5940 is an 802.11ac 4T4R wireless video bridge, with two Giga Ethernet
ports. WAP-5940 performs AP to transmission package TCP/UDP to client, also
supporting station mode, receiving packets and forwarding to the Ethernet port.

WAP-5940 has a high power wireless design which supports 802.1 1ac 5Ghz band
4T4R and is backward compatible 802.11n, 802.11a.

Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Hardware Setup

Follow the instructions below to complete the hardware setup.

BACK PANEL

The figure below shows the back panel of the device.

6

Power ON

Press the power button to the OFF position (OUT). Connect the power adapter to the
power port. Attach the power adapter to a wall outlet or other AC source. Press the
power button to the ON position (IN). If the Power LED displays as expected then
the device is ready for setup (see section 2.2 LED Indicators).

Caution 1: If the device fails to p ower up, or it malfunctions, first verify tha t the

power cords are connected securely and then power it on again. If the
problem persists, contact technical support.

Caution 2: Before servicing or disassembling this equipment, disc onnect all power

cords and telephone lines from their outlets.

Ethernet (LAN) Ports

Use 1000-BASE-T RJ-45 cables to connect two network devices to a Gigabit LAN, or
10/100BASE-T RJ-45 cables for standard network usage. These ports are
auto-sensing MDI/X; so either straight-through or crossover cable can be used.

Reset Button

To reboot the device press the Reset button for 1-5 seconds. Restore the default
parameters of the device by pressing the Reset button for more than 5 seconds.
After the device has rebooted successfully, the front panel should display as
expected (see section 2.2 LED Indicators for details).

WPS Button

Press and release the WPS button to start the WPS connecti on process with the
other device. The connection duration is 2 minutes during which the WPS LED will
blink. If there is no client connection the WPS led will turn off. If connection is
successful the WPS LED will stay on.

AP/Station Switch

Select the desired option.

2.3 Initial Device Setup

Device Setup

1. Setup the first Wireless Video Bridge by plugging in the po wer adapter and
press the Power Button to the ON position (IN). Set the Wireless Video
Bridge to AP Mode by sliding the AP/Station Switch to the up position.

2. Connect the Wireless Video Bridge to a Network Device (Gateway, Router,
etc.) with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. You can use either Ethernet ports of the
Wireless Video Bridge to make this connection.

3. After you select AP mode thus the Ethernet port (ETH1) will be WAN port,
another Ethernet port (ETH2) is LAN side.

9

4. After you select station mo de thus two Ethernet ports (ETH1, ETH2) are LAN
side.

Chapter 3 Web User Interface

This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI)
using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later).

3.1 Default Settings

The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.

• LAN IP address AP: 10.0.0.2

• LAN IP address STA: 10.0.0.10

• LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Administrative access (username: root, password: 12345)

Caution: The LAN setting default is DHCP mode, if a device connects to the DHCP
network, the LAN IP will be changed by the DHCP server ass igned.

Technical Note

During pow er on, the devi ce initializ es all setting s to default valu es. It wi ll then

read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.
The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values
are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via
the web use r interface or t elnet user interfa ce, or other mana gement protocol s.
The factory defau lt configuration can be re stored either by pushing the reset button
for more than ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking o r by click ing the
Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

11

3.2 IP Configuration

STATIC IP MODE

In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.
Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 10.0.0.x.

NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However,

the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
Check your OS support documentation for further details.

STEP 1: From the Network Connec tions window, open Local Area Connect ion (You

may also acce ss this scre en by double-clicking the Local Area Connection
icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.

STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Change the IP address to the 10.0.0.x (10<x<254) subnet with subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now display as shown below.

STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.

12

3.3 Login Procedure

Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface.

NOTE: The default settings can be found in section 3.1 Default Settings

STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for the device

in the Web address field. For example, if it is the AP device default IP is

10.0.0.2, type http://10.0.0.2

STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below. Enter the default

username and password, as defined in section 3.1 Default Settings.

.

Click LOGIN to continue.

6.1 Tools – Log

This page has the ability to directly view the PHY statistics of the device.

Pressing the “Start” button will start a 10 second polling log. This data can be useful
to assist in debugging the system.

After selecting “Start”, the p age will look similar to the image above. The logging will
stop after pressing the “Stop” button. If the IP address is c hanged or if the device is
shut off, this page will give an error message if logging was in progress. To recover
the session, please press the “Start” button again.

This interface takes data from an internal OS file, so intermittently; there may be
management messages that show up in this log.

Defers This number counts the

number of times an
attempted transmission
was deferred due to the
medium being busy.
This is helpful in
determining if an
environment is very busy.

Tout This is an indicator of Tx

packet timeout

Retries

This counts the number of
transmission retries that
have occurred over the
last one second.

Defers are common in busy
WiFi environments

Timeouts are not common.
The Packet could not find a
time slot to transmit.

On the transmit side, note
that the general packet flow
for error is as follows:

This is primarily due to the
lack of acknowledgements
from the partner device.

FCC Statements

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
