Chapter 3 Configuration Guide
3.1 Login Web Interface
AC Controller has normal power up, one port has been connected to the management host.
1) The management host has been properly installed IE 7.0 or higher browser version
2) AC Controller’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the management host IP address has been set the same network segment
with WAC-2000, namely 192.168.1.X (X is between 2-254 arbitrary integer Number), a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3) In order to ensure a better effect of Web interface displays, it is recommended to adjust the display resolution to 1024 × 768
or more pixels.
Operation Steps:
A. Open IE browser,Input http://192.168.1.1/ in the address bar to login AC Controller Web management interface.
B. AC Controller login screen shown in Figure 3-1. In this screen enter the AC Controller for user name and password, the
factory default is admin / admin, click <OK>.
P 3-1 Web Login page
C. After a successful login, then see AC 1000 Web interface page, shown in Figure 3-2.

Chapter 4 Function Setting
4.1 Zero Config
If the SSID, password is same in one networking, prefer to choose Zero Config operation mode before connect AP to AC
controller, set AC controller’s Zero Config based on following steps, then AP will get data when plug into AC controller, then
play.
Click “Zero Config”--- “New”---“Wireless Basic” to config Wireless AP’s SSID, password, Group name---”Wireless
advanced” to to config wireless AP’s channel, RF Power---”Apply”, then wireless AP can get the data from new zero config
group.
Notice: Device List: “Wlan Device 1” mean 2.4G Wireless; “Wlan Device 2” mean 5G Wireless
If some wireless AP connected to AC controller already, then want to apply Zero Config, click “Zero Config”---
“New”---“Wireless Basic” to config Wireless AP’s SSID, password, Group name---”Wireless advanced” to to config wireless
AP’s channel, RF Power---”Apply”---Restart AP, then wireless AP can get the data from new zero config group.
Notice: If there are different SSID/password in one networking, then prefer to choose device group, the different between zero
config and device group showed as follow:
A. Zero Config can create a new group only, device group can create multi new group.
B. Zero Config: No need to add AP into group by manual; Device group: need to add AP into group by manual
C. Zero Config: there are auto channel, RF power, automatic reboot functions; Device group: none
