General information

This guide provides information on installing and setting up Honeywell's WAP-PLUS Wireless Access Point. Out of the box, the WAP-PLUS functions as a wireless access point

to support most Honeywell iPCAM installations. However to support the iPCAM installations for use with the LYNX Touch (L5100 series) control, the WAP-PLUS must be configured as described in this document.

The WAP-PLUS provides an easy-to-setup secure wireless solution that enables Honeywell's iPCAM series internet video cameras to communicate with AlarmNet.

Some major features of Honeywell's WAP-PLUS are:

 The WAP-PLUS utilizes the 802.11b/g/n protocol with WPA2-PSK wireless security.

 The WAP-PLUS supports WPS security. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard for easy setup of a secure

wireless network. In addition there are three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports available for wired cameras.

IMPORTANT: This device is for indoor use only. The WAP-PLUS must be spaced 5 to 10 feet from other wireless devices. For detailed information on wired and wireless operating distances, refer to the camera’s installation guide.

Configuring the WAP-PLUS for use with LYNX Touch, L5100 series

To support the LYNX Touch (L5100 series), the WAP-PLUS must be configured as described here.

IMPORTANT: If you press the WPS button without first configuring the WAP-PLUS, and you successfully enroll at least one IP device; then you will not be able to access the admin/password credentials to configure the WAP-PLUS. The WAP-PLUS will work in a “locked out” mode. In this mode, the wireless security level will set to WPA2-PSK with a randomly generated WPA key.

You can restore the WAP-PLUS to the factory defaults by performing a reset. Use the Reset button to clear all data.

The best practice is for the dealer to configure the WAP-PLUS prior to installation at the customer’s premises. You will perform the following:

 Determine the IP address and access the configuration page.  Set the SSID name and Security level.  Set the User Name and Password for the WAP-PLUS.

Configuring the WAP-PLUS:

Depending on what version of Windows you are using, screen appearance will vary and certain buttons may have somewhat different labels for the same function.

1. Disconnect the PC from the internet or LAN. At the PC, select the My Network Places

icon,

right click, and select Properties.

2. Select the Local Area Connection

3. Select Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP or TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.

icon, right click, and select Properties.

7. Verify the WAP-PLUS is ready to communicate by performing a “ping” test. From the Window’s Task Bar navigate, Start > Run, and enter cmd, then click OK.

8. A command window opens. Enter ping –t 192.168.0.1 and hit [Enter]. The command box displays the ping results.

9. When you get at least 3 replies from the WAP-PLUS (192.168.0.1) halt the pinging with a

[Ctrl] + [C] keyboard command, then close the command box.

10. At the PC, open the browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address field. Then click

refresh.

11. The WAP-PLUS log in screen appears.

4. Select Use the following IP address

and enter 192.168.0.5.

5. Click in the Subnet mask

field, and it will populate with 255.255.255.0. Click OK. Then close

all the network windows and connect the PC to the WAP-PLUS as follows:

WAN 4 3 2 1

DO NOT connect

any other ports.

Used to access the WAP-PLUS configuration page.

6. Power up the WAP-PLUS and ensure it is set to factory defaults by depressing the RESET button (use a bent paper clip) for 10 seconds then release. Allow the WAP-PLUS to reboot as indicated by the LEDs going off then back on. This may take some time.

12. Enter the default User name (admin) and password (password), then click OK.

NOTE: Do not change any settings other than the ones below.

13. The Wireless AP screen appears.
