Connect Power
Use either of these options to provide the WavePoint™ power:
l Connect a CAT 5e Ether net cable from an 802.3at (PoE+) source to one
or both of the Ethernet PoE Con nector ports on the left side of the
connector panel.
Note: Depending on the number of radios installed in the WavePoint
10e model, it may require power through both ports. Power
over Ethernet is only available on some models.
l Connect a power supply to the green Standard Power port on the far
right side of the connector panel. The WavePoint 10e requires power
between +10VDC and +30VDC.
Screw Torque
For all connections, use these tightening torque minimum and maximum:
l Minimum: 0.22 Nm.
l Maximum: 0.25 Nm.
Connecting and Logging In
WavePoint 10e uses web pages for configuration.
Note: These instructions assume the computer has a static IP address
assigned. Change the computer 's IP address to be within the
same subnet as the default address of the WavePoin t 10e
(192.168.1.1).
Important: Initial setup requires a wired connection.
1. Verify the WavePoint 10e has power.
2. On the WavePoint 10e Connecto r Panel, connect a CAT 5e Ethernet
cable from Ethernet port 3 or 4 to a computer that has a web browser
installed.
Note: Use a command line to ping 192.168.1.1 to ensure the
WavePoint™ is ready for use.
Important: For 2.4 GHz WavePoint 10e devices, connect to a
wireless connection after the WLAN settings are configured.
3. On the connected computer, open a web browser.
4. In the web browser's navigation bar, enter http://192.168.1.1.
This is the WavePoint 10e factory default IP address.
5. Enter the default User Name (admin) and Password ( freewave).
User Names and Passwords are case sensitive.
6. ClickLogin to view the Configuration pages.
7. Optional: Follow the Setting the Device IP Address an d Subn et
procedure to change the subnet address.
Setting the Device IP Address and Subnet
For the WavePoint 10e to exist in the network, it must have a unique IP
address and exist in the correct subnet.
Reserved Subnets
Important: WavePoint™ has reserved subnets that cannot be
used to administrate the WavePoint™ device. These subnets are
reserved for (Virtual Access Points) VAPs.
The subnets that CANNOT be used ar e:
l 192.168.2.0/24
l 192.168.3.0/24
l 192.168.4.0/24
Procedure
1. Follow the pr ocedures for Connectin g and Logging In.
2. On the Network menu, click LAN > L AN IPv4 Setup.
3. In the IP Address Setup section, enter this information for the LAN:
a. Enter a unique IP address for the device.
The default setting is 192.168.1.1.
b. The default setting for the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
Accept the default setting unless subnetting is used.
c. The default option for the DHCP Setup Mod e is DHCP None.
If applicable,select either the DHCP Relay or DHCP Server
option when configuring the device as an Access Poin t.
Important: Write down the updated IP address to access
this device thr ough the LAN or over a wirelessconnection.
4. Click Save to save the changes or Cancel to clear any changes without
saving.
Note: When the IP address is changed and saved, the
Con fig uration page no longer responds because the IP
address is saved to the WavePoint 10e and the connection is
lost.
To reconnect, enter the new IP address in the web br owser
window, verifying the PC’s IP address is within the same subnet.
