Introduction

Overview

Integrating the cutting edge of Internet Telephony and Access Point manufacturing experience, Legrand

now introduces the latest member of our Wireless Access Point family: the DA1101 N-WAP.

The N-WAP provides high-performance Access Point (AP) function for flexible wireless communication.

With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network capability, the N-WAP allows any computer and wireless

enabled network client connect to it without additional cabling. The 802.11n wireless capability gives

users the highest speed of wireless experience ever. With an 802.11n compatible wireless adapter

installed in your PC, the files can be transferred at up to 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to

offer the high speed wireless connection in an even wider space of your office or house.

To secure the wireless communication, the N-WAP supports most up-to-date encryption: WEP, WPA-

PSK and WPA2-PSK. In addition, the N-WAP supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for users

to connect to a secured wireless network easily.

Physical Installation

Physical Installation Steps

This chapter illustrates the physical installation of the DA1101 Wireless Access Point –N.

1. Run a Category 5 cable from the triple-gang or single-gang

electrical box at the intended DA1101 room location to the

POE module located in the structured wiring enclosure.

2. Make sure that the Power Supply is not connected to the

POE module at this time.

3. Pull the Category 5 cable out from the electrical box through

the supplied triple-gang or modified into a single-gang

bracket and attach the bracket to the associated electrical

box with the supplied screws.

4. Terminate the Cat 5 cable with an RJ45 plug and

connect it to the RJ45 jack on the DA1101. The DA1101

is then snapped into the mounting bracket by first

inserting the two tabs on one end into the slots on the

bracket and tilting it until it is flush with the bracket,

where it should snap into place.

5. If this is a triple-gang installation, line the feet on the

triple gang bracket up with the indentions inside the

round cover, and snap that cover in place. There is a

protrusion inside the round cover that allows it only to be

installed in the correct orientation. If this is a single-gang

installation, simply hang the top of the rectangular cover

on the single-gang bracket and tilt the cover to snap it

into place.

6. In the enclosure, terminate the other end of the Cat 5

cable from the DA1101 with an RJ45 plug and connect it

to the POE output RJ45 jack. A Cat 5 jumper is run from

the POE input jack to a local router port.

7. Plug the power supply into the POE module and into an

AC outlet, and refer to the next chapter for software

configuration and operation information.

Configuring and monitoring your DA1101 from web browser

The DA1101 integrates a web-based graphical user interface that can cover most configurations and

machine status monitoring. Via a standard web browser, you can configure and check machine status

from anywhere around the world.

Configuration of the DA1101 via web browser

First insure that your PC is on the 192.168.1.xxx subnet (ie. 192.168.1.10) by configuring its IP

address to that subnet.

After TCP/IP configurations on your PC, you may now open your web browser, and input

http://192.168.1.254 (Default LAN port IP address) to logon to the DA1101 web configuration page.

The DA1101 will prompt for logon username/password: use admin / admin

DA1101 main page

Starting Setup in Web UI

It is easy to configure and manage the DA1101 with a web browser. After successfully logging in, you

can click Setup Wizard to quickly configure your DA1101.

 AP Mode is the default mode where the DA1101 works with a local router. The router provides

DHCP addressing to the wirelessly connected devices (PCs). An additional DA1101 may be

used as a repeater which allows for both directly connected LAN and wireless devices.

Step 1. Set Wireless Network Name (SSID), and then click Next>>.

- 5 -

Step 2. Select Wireless Security Mode.

Step 3. Click the Finished button. You will then see the Finish page as shown below.

The DA1101 will reboot automatically to make your wireless re-configuration take effect and finish the

Setup.

 Client Mode is used where an additional DA1101 is configured as the client and connects directly

to a LAN or PC (no wireless devices), while the original DA1101 connects to a router.

Step 1. Set Wireless Network Name, or click Site Survey to scan the nearby AP.

- 6 -

Step 2. Select Wireless Security Mode.

Step 3. Click the Finished button. You will then see the Finish page as shown below.

The DA1101 will reboot automatically to make your wireless configuration to take effect and finish the

Setup.

- 7 -

 Router Mode is used when the DA1101 is connected to a cable modem and the DA1101 is

performing the routing functions, including providing DHCP addresses for devices (PCs).

Step 1. Select the WAN Access Type.
Step 2. Enter the information for the selected WAN Access Type, and then click Next. If your access

type is DHCP Client, then you can get the IP address from the ISP, so you do not need to

enter the information like other modes (see WAN Interface Setup section).

Step 3. Click the Finished button. You will then see the Finish page as shown below.

The DA1101 will reboot automatically to make your wireless configuration to take effect and finish the

Setup.
