1.4 Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of WAP-6200.

1. Site selection

To avoid interferences, pleas e locate WAP-6200 and wireless clients away from transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-6200 in open space or add additional WAP-6200 as needed to improve the coverage.

2. Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operating range of WAP-6200 in a specific location without testing.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the WAP-6200.

Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about WAP-6200.

1. Please connect right installationÆ “PoE” port of PoE inject to WAP-6200; “LAN” port of PoE injector to LAN PC, wrong installation will cause the device damage

Note

wire. 25-meter SFTP cable also available by order, the part no is WL-SFTP-25. Please contact with local dealer for more information

2. 2. Pleas also refer to Chapter 5 or Chapter 6 for more about LAN port or WAN port selection. For the first time installation, it is suggested to connect to LAN.

2. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the “LAN” port of PoE Injector to a 10Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the PC on the same LAN for management.

3. Locate an optimum location and use the provided Mounting kit to tie the WAP-6200 to a pole.

1. Strongly suggest using SFTP cable, for better protection of the data

Note

1. To avoid thunder strike, consider to install ELA-100, thunder arrester

toward the CPE AP and the PoE injector.

2. For secured reason, while install the CPE AP, please be aware for the electric wires around, and tighten the pole.

Without tighten the CPE AP, the pole and the installed site is with electric wire around, there could be danger of being hurt by falling or lethal injury.

4. Connect the power cord to the PoE Injector, and plug it into an AC outlet to power on the WAP-6200.

Note

1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WAP-6200.

Otherwise, the product may be damaged.

2. Strongly suggest using SFTP cable whether the cable exposed outdoor for waterproof and avoiding thunder stroke.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with

the equipment you are installing.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these limes. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

Assume all overhead lines are power lines. The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

z Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.

z Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.

z Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safet y equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good

repair.

z If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

z If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR

ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.

z Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human

injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

z The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to

one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.

z Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

z DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

z Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no lon ger are in contact with

electrical power.

Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.

Chapter 3 Web Configuration

Web configuration provides a user-friendly graphical user interface (web pages) to manage your WAP-6200. An AP with an assigned IP address will allow you to monitor and configure via web browser (e.g., MS Internet Explorer or Netscape).

1. Open your web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of your WAP-6200 in the address field (default IP address is http://192.168.1.254 Please note that your PC’s IP address should be on the same IP subnet of the WAP-6200. For example, you can configure your PC’s IP address to 192.168.1.2 if WAP-6200 is with IP 192.168.1.254.
