responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the Following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference
(2) This Device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
I
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Energy Saving Note of the Device
This power required device does not support Standby mode operation.
For energy saving, please remove the DC-plug to disconnect the device from the power circuit.
Without remove the DC-plug, the device still consuming power from the power circuit. In the view of
Saving the Energy and reduce the unnecessary power consuming, it is strongly suggested to
remove the DC-plug for the device if this device is not intended to be active.
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication
terminal Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).
The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications
Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.
Safety
This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it.
However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when
working with electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must
therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
WEEE regulation
To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the
presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of

3.2 Installation Precautions
Users MUST use a proper and well-installed surge arrestor and grounding kit with WNAP-7206;
otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to WNAP-7206. EMD (Lightning)
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the WNAP-7206. Use of
other options will cause damage to the WNAP-7206.
Users MUST power off the WNAP-7206 first before connecting the external antennas to it; otherwise,
damage might be caused to the WNAP-7206 itself.

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.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
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.
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.
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.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:
DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
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

the Outdoor AP/Router; Power LED will be active, and after that the LAN Activity
LED will be flashing to show the LAN interface is enabled and working now.
To avoid thunder strike, consider to install ELA-100, thunder arrester toward the

3.4.1 Using the External Antenna
If you prefer to use the external antenna with RP-SMA Type connector for your application instead of the built-in
directional antenna, please follow the steps below.
Step 1. Connect your antenna with the RP-SMA Type connector on the bottom of WNAP-7206.
Step 2. Power on the WNAP-7206, and then go to Wireless -> Wireless Advanced to configure the Antenna
Setting to “External Antenna”.
1. If you are going to use an external antenna on WNAP-7206, get some cable in
advance.
1. Users MUST power off the WNAP-7206 first before connecting the external
antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from
WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the
WNAP-7206; otherwise, damage might be caused to the WNAP-7206 itself.

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless AP using Quick Setup within
minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless AP is required for the first-time
configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WNAP-7206 is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These
values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the WNAP-7206 with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port of PoE injector in one side and
in LAN port of PC in the other side. Please power on the WNAP-7206 by the PoE injector shipping with
WNAP-7206.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows XP. And
the procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and
refer to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if needed.
4.1.1 Configure the IP Address Manually
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number from 2 to
254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The AP's default IP address)
1 Select Use the following IP address radio button.
2 If the AP's LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, enter IP address 192.168.1.x (x is from 2 to 254), and Subnet
mask 255.255.255.0.
3 Select Use the following DNS server addresses radio button. In the Preferred DNS Server field, you can
enter the DNS server IP address which has been provided by your ISP
