1.4 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance,
and operating coverage of WAP-8000.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate W AP-8000 and wireless client s 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 client s as few as possible; otherwise the
signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-8000 in open space
or add additional WAP-8000 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-8000 in a specific location without testing.

Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough
information about WAP-8000.
1. Plug in the waterproof connector on RJ-45 cable.
Step1 Step2
2. Connect RJ-45 cable with waterproof connector to the LAN port of
WAP-8000 and another way connect to the “PoE” port of PoE Injector.
Connect antenna to N-type antenna connector.
Connect antenna
Note: Strongly suggest using SFTP cable, for better protection of the data
wire. 25-meter SFTP cable also available by order, the part no is
CB-STP-25. Please contact with local dealer for more information
3. Lock waterproof connector into outside circle of the LAN port.
Step1
Step2

4. Locate an optimum location and use the provided Mounting kit to tie the
WAP-8000 to a pole.
Step1
Step2
Step3
Note: 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.
5. Connect the “LAN” port of PoE Injector to Ethernet hub, switch or PC on the
same LAN for management.
6. Connect the power adapter to the PoE Injector, and plug it into an AC outlet
to power on the WAP-8000.
Note1: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WAP-8000.
Otherwise, the product may be damaged.
Note2: Strongly suggest using SFTP cable whether the cable exposed
outdoor for waterproof and avoiding thunder stroke.

TDOOR 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 A T 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 safety 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.
1
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 longer 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-8000. An AP with an assigned IP address will allow you
to monitor and configure via web browser.
Open your web browser. Enter the IP address of your WAP-8000 in the
address field (default IP address is http://192.168.1.1). Please note that your
PC’s IP address should be on the same IP subnet of the WAP-8000 (Please
follow below title: Assign a static IP address to set same IP subnet).
Default IP Address: http://192.168.1.1
Default IP subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
WEB login User Name / Password: admin

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a
static IP address, please follow the steps below:
1. - Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network .and .Internet
>Network .and .Sharing .Center > Manage Network Connections.
- Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network Connections.
- Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places >
Properties.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network
adapter and select Properties.
3. Highlight Internet .Protocol .(TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. Click Use .the .following .IP .address and enter an IP address that is on the
same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
5. Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP
address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure
that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default
Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
6. Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS
server from your ISP.
7. Click OK twice to save your settings.
