OVERVIEW
Your access point can function in three 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”).
In Repeater mode the access point connects wirelessly to your existing
2.4GHz and/or 5GHz network and repeats the wireless signal(s).

III-2. 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 32 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 32) from the single AP Controller.
The OAP1750 functions as a Managed AP and cannot act as an AP Controller.
14
When using an Edimax NMS AP controller, other connected APs are automatically set to Managed APs. In the case that the AP Controller cannot find your OAP1750 as a Managed AP, you can configure the setting manually as below:
1. Ensure all APs including your OAP1750 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.
15
3. Ensure you have setup and designated one AP as the AP Controller which
will manage all other connected APs (up to 32 depending on model).
4. Connect a computer to the OAP1750 via PoE switch using an Ethernet
cable.
16
5. Open a web browser and enter the OAP1750’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
OAP1750. Refer to the user manual for more help.
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.
17
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.

III-3. Repeater Mode
When you set the operation mode to repeater mode, the AP will not get an IP
address from the router/root AP. You will need to set your computer’s IP
address and use the APs default IP address to access the UI for the first time, refer to Appendix for more help.
Wireless Settings Wireless Extender displays details about the APs wireless connection in repeater mode and enables you to connect to a source SSID and configure the new (repeater) SSID. Settings are saved as profiles.
1. Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.2.x where x is a number in the
range 3 – 100.
Please ensure there are no other active network connections on your computer (disconnect Wi-Fi connections and Ethernet cables).
2. Enter the access point’s default IP address 192.168.2.2 into the URL bar of
a web browser.
3. You will be prompted for a user name and password. Enter the default
username “admin” and the default password “1234”.
19
4. Go to Wireless Settings Wireless Extender.
5. Click Scan to search for and display available SSIDs and click Select to
connect to an available source SSID. SSIDs can be configured independently for each frequency 2.4GHz & 5GHz.
20
6. Edit the new extended SSID according to your preference and enter the
security details for the source SSID, and then click Connect.
7. The AP in repeater mode will establish a connection to the source SSID and
repeat the extended SSID. The repeater AP will become a DHCP client of the router/root AP. Switch your computer back to a dynamic IP address.
21
8. To access the web U.I. use the URL http://edimax.setup.com when
connected to the same network as the repeater, or check your router/root AP’s settings to determine the repeater’s new IP address.
