Powering up

The AP is powered by PoE+.

To power up the access point:

1 Connect power using a PoE+ injector or switch (both sold separately).

The access point should now be up and running with its default settings. It does
not need to be configured to be functional. To make changes to the SSID and
security settings, access the AP using a web browser.

77

Logging in

To log in to the access point:

1 Connect the access point to your PoE+ switch or injector with an Ethernet cable.
2 Log in to your Pakedge router to find the IP address assigned to the access point

under the DHCP Client Table.

Tip: If you do not have a router in your network that distributes IP addresses, you

can try to access the access point through its default IP address of 192.168.1.21.

3 Enter that IP address into a web browser to open the access point interface. The

Sign In page opens.

Note: Because the AP uses self-signed certificates for secure connection to the

web browser, a security message will appear. There is no risk in proceeding to the
AP’s web interface, and communications will remain secure.

4 In the username box, type admin. In the password box, type password, then click

Sign In. The first time you log in, the Configure page opens.

5 Enter and verify a new username and password (required) before continuing, then

click Apply to complete the setup.

Caution: For international models, you must change the Country Code (a drop-down

list defaulting to GB - United Kingdom), to the specific country of operation.

Note: Refer to the user guide (

Adding WA-2200 Series APs to the site

After the BakPak site is created, the WA-2200-O will act as the “master AP” for adding
more WA-2200 Series APs to the site. For the full multi-AP deployment guide,
see

pkdge.co/wa2200-multi

To add APs and provision them with the existing configuration:

1 Make sure that the master AP is already configured (through the local UI or

BakPak), and that the additional APs are turned on for at least five minutes and
connected to your network.

2 In BakPak, select the new WA-2200-O site, then click Device Discovery.

Any additional WA-2200 Series APs are discovered and appear as tiles that can
be selected (already selected by default).
