OVERVIEW
Your access point can function in two different modes.
The default mode for your access point is AP mode.
AP mode is a regular access point for use in your wireless network.
Managed AP mode acts as a “slave” AP within the AP array (controlled by the
AP Controller “master”).

II. Quick Setup
Your access point can be up and running in just a few minutes. It can function as a standalone access point (AP mode) or as part of an AP array (Managed AP mode).
5
For use a Managed AP in an AP array, the access point will automatically switch mode when an AP Controller is configured as described in Edimax Pro
NMS.
II-1. Initial Setup
1. Connect the IAP1200’s rear Ethernet port to a PoE switch (LAN port) using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Use a computer that’s connected to the LAN or connect to the IAP1200’s
front Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable.
3. Open a web browser and enter the access point’s IP address in the address
field. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2
Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the AP access point.
6
If you changed the access point’s IP address, or if your
gateway/router uses a DHCP server, ensure you enter the correct IP address. Refer to your gateway/router’s settings.
4. Login with the default username & password: admin & 1234
5. You will arrive at the “System Information” screen shown below.
7
The next steps will help you to configure the following basic settings of the access point:
- LAN IP Address
- 2.4GHz & 5GHz SSID & Security
- Administrator Name & Password
- Time & Date
It is recommended you configure these settings before using the access point.
1. To change the access point’s LAN IP address, go to “Network Settings” >
“LAN-side IP Address” and you will see the screen below.
2. Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your access point. You
can use a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network
environment. Click “Apply” to save the changes and wait a few moments
for the access point to reload.
When you change your access point’s IP address, you need to use the new IP address to access the browser based configuration interface instead of the default IP 192.168.2.2.
3. To change the SSID of your access point’s 2.4GHz wireless network(s), go
to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Basic”. Enter the new SSID for
your 2.4GHz wireless network in the “SSID1” field and click “Apply”.
To utilize multiple 2.4GHz SSIDs, open the drop down menu labelled “Enable SSID number” and select how many SSIDs you
8
require. Then enter a new SSID in the corresponding numbered fields below, before clicking “Apply”.
4. To configure the security of your access point’s 2.4GHz wireless
network(s), go to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Security”. Select
an “Authentication Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption Key” depending on your choice, then click “Apply”.
If using multiple SSIDs, specify which SSID to configure using the “SSID” drop down menu.
5. Go to “Wireless Settings” > “5GHz 11ac 11an” and repeat steps 3 & 4 for
the access point’s 5GHz wireless network.
6. To change the administrator name and password for the browser based
configuration interface, go to “Management” > “Admin”.
9
7. Complete the “Administrator Name” and “Administrator Password” fields
and click “Apply”.
8. To set the correct time for your access point, go to “Management” >
“Date and Time Settings”.
9. Set the correct time and time zone for your access point using the
dropdown menus. The access point also supports NTP (Network Time Protocol) so alternatively you can enter the host name or IP address of a time server. Click “Apply” when you are finished.
You can use the “Acquire Current Time from your PC” button if
you wish to set the access point to the same time as your PC.
10. The basic settings of your access point are now configured.

II-2. Managed AP Mode: Edimax Pro NMS
Edimax Pro Network Management Suite (NMS) supports the central management of a group of access points, otherwise known as an AP Array. NMS supports up to 16 Edimax Pro access points with no additional wireless controller required or 128 access points with the APC 500 AP controller ­reducing costs and facilitating efficient remote AP management.
Edimax Pro NMS is simple to setup. An overview of the system is shown below:
One AP (access point) is designated as the AP Controller (master) and other connected Edimax Pro APs are automatically designated as Managed APs (slaves). Using Edimax Pro NMS you can monitor, configure and manage all Managed APs (up to 128) from the single AP Controller.
The IAP1200 functions as a Managed AP and cannot act as an AP Controller.
When using an Edimax NMS AP controller, other connected APs are automatically set to Managed APs. In the case that the AP Controller
11
cannot find your IAP1200 as a Managed AP, you can configure the setting manually as below:
1. Ensure all APs including your IAP1200 are connected to an Ethernet or PoE
switch which is connected to a gateway/router.
You can use your router as a DHCP server or you can later configure your AP Controller as a DHCP server.
2. Ensure all APs are powered on and check LEDs.
3. Connect the APC500 as the AP Controller which will manage all other
connected APs (up to 128 depending on model).
12
4. Connect a computer to the IAP1200 via PoE switch using an Ethernet
cable.
5. Open a web browser and enter the IAP1200’s IP address in the address
field. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2
13
Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the AP
Controller. If you changed the AP Controller’s IP address, or if your gateway/router uses a DHCP server, ensure you enter the correct IP address. Refer to your gateway/router’s settings.
6. Enter the username & password to login. The default username &
password are admin & 1234.
7. You will arrive at the Edimax Pro NMS Dashboard. Go to “Operation
Mode” and select “Managed AP Mode” from the drop down menu.
8. Click “Apply” to save the settings and your AP Controller & Managed APs
should be fully functional. Use Edimax NMS on your AP controller to manage & monitor your Managed APs.
Refer to your AP controller’s user manual for help with Edimax
NMS.
