1 Annotation

This manual specifies the following:

• connection to WOP-2ac web interface;

• configuration of WOP-2ac network parameters;

• WOP-2ac firmware update;

• SNMP configuration;

• wireless interfaces configuration (operation mode, band);

• virtual access points configuration;

• monitoring of wireless network main parameters.

The manual gives an example of access point configuration without using a soft controller.

The following scheme is given as an example.

Example of network configuration

Type of the network VLAN used SSID used Encryption/

authorization by
password

Inner corporate wireless network using 2.4 and 5 GHz
bands. The network is isolated from other guest networks.
To connect to the network, password authorization is
required. The network is dedicated to secure data exchange
among company staff.

100 WorkNetwork WPA/WPA2

Guest wireless network using 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The
network does not require password authorization. It is
dedicated to connect users with standard wireless gadgets
to a public network for Internet access, for instance.

1 (without
VLAN)

FreeNetwork No encryption and

authorization

To perform the configuration, you need to have a PC with access to the device via Ethernet and any web browser

2 Connecting the web interface

Connection of a PC to the device might be executed as follows:

• Connect network cable to PoE interface of WOP-2ac and to PoE injector (or switch). Then connect a PC to
the PoE injector (or switch).

To connect to the web interface of the device, enter the following to the URL bar of your browser: 192.168.1.10. If
the connection has been performed successfully, the authorization page will be displayed. Use the following data
for authorization:

• User Name: admin

• Password: password

If the authorization page is not displayed after entering the device IP in the browser, check the IP address on the
PC and switch settings. If the configuration on the device has been changed (is not a default one), reset the device
to factory settings. To perform this, press and hold the button «F» on the side panel of the device within 20
seconds.

3 Configuration of WOP-2ac network parameters

For remote management of WOP-2ac, you should set network parameters of the device according to the settings
of the network that you intend to use.

In «Manage» menu, open «Ethernet Settings» tab and perform the following:

• Management VLAN ID – set the number of VLAN that you are going to use for access point management. 1
is used in the given example.

• Connection Type – select «Static IP» to set IP addresses for access points manually. Specify the IP address
of WOP-2ac (in the example, it is 192.168.15.250) in «Static IP Address» field. Enter the address of the
default gateway in «Default Gateway» field. 192.168.15.1. Changing the network mask is optional. If you
want the access points to obtain IP addresses via DHCP, «Connection type» field should be set to «DHCP»
value. If DHCP is selected, the network settings configuration is completed.

Click «Update». Since that, WOP-2ac is available in 1 VLAN via 192.168.15.250 address.

Before changing the settings, make sure that the managing computer has the access to the access point. If you
make a mistake while changing the settings, you may undo them by resetting the access point to factory settings.
To perform this, press and hold «F» button on the side panel of the device for 20 seconds until the indicator on the
front panel is blinking.
