7. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the access point. If you experience problems with the access point, please contact your dealer of purchase and ask for help.

8. The access point is an electrical device and as such, if it becomes wet for any reason, do not attempt to touch it without switching the power supply off. Contact an experienced electrical technician for further help.

9. If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the access point or power adapter, then disconnect the access point and power adapter immediately, as far as it is safely possible to do so. Call your dealer of purchase for help.

II. Quick Setup

II-1. Initial Setup

1. Connect the access point to a computer via Ethernet cable.

2. Connect the power adapter to the access point’s 12V DC port and plug the

power adapter into a power supply using the included cable.

3. Please wait a moment for the access point to start up. The access point is

ready when the LED is blue.

4. Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.2.x where x is a number in the

range 3 – 100. If you are unsure how to do this, please refer to V-1. Configuring your IP address for more information.

Please ensure there are no other active network connections on your computer (disconnect Wi-Fi connections and Ethernet cables).

5. Enter the access point’s default IP address 192.168.2.2 into the URL bar of

a web browser.

6. You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the default

username “admin” and the default password “1234”.

7. You will arrive the “System Information” screen shown below.

8. Next, please follow the instructions below in II-2. Basic Settings to

configure the access point’s basic settings.

For more advanced configurations, please refer to IV. Browser Based Configuration Interface.

II-2. Basic Settings

The instructions below 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 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 Setting” > “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”.

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”.

9. Set the correct time and time zone for your access point using the drop

down 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. Please

refer to III. Hardware Installation for guidance on connecting your access point to a router or PoE switch.

II-3. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a simple way to establish connections between WPS compatible devices. You can use the WPS button to establish a connection between the access point and a WPS-compatible wireless device/client.

1. Press and hold the WPS/Reset button on the side of the access point for 2

seconds.

2. Within two minutes, activate WPS on your WPS-compatible wireless

device. Please check the documentation for your wireless device for information regarding its WPS function.

3. The devices will establish a connection.

III. Hardware Installation

1. Connect a router or PoE switch to the access point’s LAN 1 port using an

Ethernet cable. PoE switches must be connected to the access point’s LAN 1 port.

2. If you are using a router, then connect the power adapter to the access

point’s 12V DC port and plug the power adapter into a power supply.

3. If you are using a PoE (Power over

Ethernet) switch then it is not necessary to use the included power adapter, the access point will be powered by the PoE switch.

Do not use the power adapter if you are using a PoE switch.

4. Connect a local network client or switch to the access point’s LAN 2 port

as required.

The access point’s LAN 2 port can support another powered device(PD).

IV. Browser Based Configuration Interface

The browser-based configuration interface enables you to configure the access point’s advanced features. The WAP1750 features a range of advanced functions such as MAC filtering, MAC RADIUS authentication, VLAN configurations, up to 32 SSIDs and many more. To access the browser based configuration interface:

1. Connect a computer to your access point using an Ethernet cable.

2. Enter your access point’s IP address in the URL bar of a web browser. The

access point’s default IP address is 192.168.2.2.

3. You will be prompted for a username and password. The default

username is “admin” and the default password is “1234”, though it was recommended that you change the password during setup (see II-2. Basic Settings).

If you cannot remember your password, reset the access point back to its factory default settings. Refer to I-5. Reset

4. You will arrive at the “System Information” screen shown below.

5. Use the menu across the top and down the left side to navigate.

6. Click “Apply” to save changes and reload the access point, or “Cancel” to

cancel changes.

Please wait a few seconds for the access point to reload after you “Apply” changes, as shown below.
