OVERVIEW

The Edimax Office 1-2-3 is a complete and expandable Wi-Fi system designed
to meet the needs of small to medium offices. With easy setup, friendly
operation user interface, super-fast wireless speed, an extensive feature set
and a practical, ceiling-mount design, it is ideal for modern business
environments – in working areas, meeting rooms, lobby, or open spaces.

Office 1-2-3 kit includes 3 pre-configured Access Points (expandable with
Office +1 AP to up to a total of 8 APs), each allowing a capacity of up to 100
simultaneous users. The kit can setup multiple SSIDs (up to 32) to suit
different user environments such as departmental groups or user groups. A
built-in RADIUS server provides additional verification with a scalable AP array
architecture, as well as a centralized management system for multiple access
points. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows for deployment flexibility
and extensive network options for company MIS departments and network
administrators.

I Quick Summary & Reminder

1. You can find all supporting documents, video, and programs, we advise

you to upgrade to the latest firmware first:

http://office123.edimax.com

2. This is a Quick Install Guide. For complete user manual or QIG in other

languages, please check the included CD or visit the link below:

www.edimax.com/edimax_pro/download/Office1-2-3

3. During the initial power up, please wait 10 minutes for APs to

communicate with each other.

4. Download our IP Finder from the link below to search and find the

master AP for configurations.

www.edimax.com/edimax_pro/download/IPfinder

5. If you are unable to load IP Finder: Right-click on the IP Finder and

choose “Property”. Click Unblock on the bottom selection and click
“OK”.

6. The Office 1-2-3 will create 3 wireless network initially for each AP.

7. The default username and password are admin and 1234 respectively.

Changing password on the Master AP will also change the password of
the Slave APs.

9

8. It is recommended that you use the default settings whenever

possible. Just add user accounts and the Wi-Fi passwords where
necessary.

9. It is recommended to use import and export list for simple

management of guest and office accounts.

10. When configuring, please check for a “Progress Circle” on the upper

right hand side of the page. Please wait until the progress circle is
finished before further configurations.

11. The RADIUS function used by Office network works directly with most

OS except Windows versions older than Win 8.0. For instructions on
setting up RADIUS function, please refer to the included A4 Sheet or
download “RADIUS Authentication for Office Network” from the link:

www.edimax.com/edimax_pro/download/Office1-2-3

12. This product supports multiple devices per login account.

13. Clicking Apply during any of the configuration will reboot the AP, which

takes time, it is recommended that you use Apply only after changing
all settings.

14. Should you connect to the guest network, open a browser to trigger

the login page. If no login page is shown, try entering

www.edimax.com.

15. A maximum of 128 Guest accounts and 256 Office accounts are

supported. Multiple logins (of the same account/password) are
accounted as using multiple accounts.

16. The frontdesk account is for creation of guest accounts only. It cannot

make changes to other settings.

10

17. To connect Office 1-2-3 to your VLAN Network, Management VLAN ID

(under System Settings) must be configured to be the same as the one
on your switch. All the wireless SSID and LAN can only share one VLAN
ID. It is recommended to put the AP on the VLAN that can access both
LAN and Internet network. The Guest network in Office 1-2-3 can
prohibit guest accessing the Intranet network by IP filtering.

18. If you wish to add more APs to expand your office coverage, please

consult your representative and refer to the “Office +1 AP” package.

IV Further Expansion

The Office 1-2-3 comes with 3 Office 1-2-3 Access Points that are
pre-configured. Expansion is very easy with additional Office 1-2-3 Access
Points (available as Office +1 AP) of up to 8 access points in total. An example
is shown below:

The master Office 1-2-3 AP is designated as the Master ap to manage other
connected Office 1-2-3 APs as they are automatically designated as Managed
APs (slaves).

56

Hardware Installation / Deployment

V Hardware Installation / Deployment

Once you have completed the setup wizard outlined in Quick Setup, you will
have to determine how you will deploy your Office 1-2-3 Access Points.

V-1 Office 1-2-3 Deployment

1. Install the Master AP in a less crowded area.

This will reduce the loading of the Master AP. Due to the fact that the
Master AP being the controller of the network, having a reduced
loading will benefit. For example, you can install the Master AP in a
corner of your office, where there will be less users attempting to
connect to it.

58

2. Install the slave APs in more crowded areas.

Since the APs will only be extending the Wi-Fi signals (no need to
manage the network), they can be installed where connections are in
greater demand.
The distance between the Master AP and the Slave APs is
recommended to be between 20-25 meters.

Hardware Installation / Deployment

3. Install Master/Slave AP Hardware on the POE switch.

Connect a PoE switch to the Master and Slave AP’s LAN 1 (PoE) port
using an Ethernet cable.

Hardware Installation / Deployment

1. By using the holes A on the ceiling bracket, identify and mark correct

screw positions of the desired mounting location.

2. Where necessary, drill a hole (of radius smaller than the radius of the

provided screws) on each of the marked screw positions.

3. Fix the ceiling mount bracket to the desired location by inserting the

ceiling fixing screws B through the bracket ceiling holes A. Tighten the
ceiling fixing screws B to the marked screw position using a screw driver
to fix the bracket in place.

4. Fix the bracket rail screws C into the holes D on the device using a

screw driver. The cap of the screws should be protruding outwardly
from the holes D.

5. Insert the bracket rail screws C into the device fixing holes E.

6. Twist the device as the bracket rail screws C slide through the bracket

rail F.
