If you experience problems with your access point, you can reset the device
back to its factory settings. This resets all settings back to default.

1. Press and hold the reset button on the access point for at least 10

seconds. Then release the button.

You may need to use a pencil or similar sharp object to push the
reset button.

2. Wait for the access point to restart. The access point is ready for setup

when the green power LED is on.

II. Quick Setup

The IAP1200 Long Range 802.11ac In-Wall Access Point features a range of
powerful functions:

- 802.11ac high-speed wireless technology

- 32 SSIDs

- SNMP v1/v2c/v3

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).

For use as a Managed AP in an AP array, the access point will automatically
switch mode when an AP Controller is configured as described in II-2.
Managed AP Mode: Edimax Pro NMS.

II-1. AP Mode

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. Refer to the user manual for more help.

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.

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
require. Then enter a new SSID in the corresponding numbered
fields below, before clicking “Apply”.
