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 Master includes a pre-configured Master Access Point
(expandable with Office +1 AP to up to a total of 16 APs), 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.
*There can be only one Office 1-2-3 master unit on the network. The
additional AP should be Office +1.

Further Expansion
IV Further Expansion
The Office 1-2-3 Master is a pre-configured and self-managed access point.
Expansion is very easy with additional Office 1-2-3 Access Points (available as
Office +1 AP) of up to 16 access points in total.
The Office 1-2-3 Master will manage other connected Office 1-2-3 APs where
they are automatically designated as Managed APs (slaves).
21
Hardware Installation / Deployment
V Hardware Installation / Deployment
If you plan to add more Office +1 APs, a quick deployment guide is shown
below:
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 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.
22
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.
