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
medical aid has been requested.

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless AP using Easy 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-7320 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-7320 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-7320 by PoE from PoE injector or PoE switch.
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.
