Operating Instructions
Foreword
We are pleased to welcome you as a new Sophos Access Point customer.
These operating instructions will help you install and configure the access point
and provide technical specifications of all Sophos access point models. In addition,
please also see the following documents that contain useful information on safety,
regulatory compliance, and configuration options:
Ì Sophos Access Points Safety Instructions and Regulatory Information
Ì Sophos UTM Administration Guide: Configuring the
UTM hardware and software appliance
The instructions must be read carefully prior to using the device and should be kept
in a safe place. You may download all user manuals and additional documentation
from the Sophos Knowledgebase at http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/
knowledgebase.aspx.
Introduction
UTM Wireless Protection simplifies the operation of secure and reliable wireless
networks. It combines affordable and configuration-less access points through a builtin wireless controller in the in Sophos UTM. The wireless controller itself centrally
manages all wireless access points; all you need to do is plug in the device anywhere
in your network. The access point will find the controller, fetch its configuration and
become operable within seconds. In addition, it easily provides wireless guest Internet
access during the initial setup, unless you explicitly deny automatic configuration.
Installation
AP 10/15/30/50/100
Preliminary steps
Please update your UTM appliance to the latest version available. Note that you also
need a valid UTM Wireless Protection subscription to operate the Sophos Access
Points.
Connect the access point to the internal network
Decide where you would prefer to place the access point, and put the access point in
that location. For mounting instructions, see below. Now connect the access point to
your internal network by plugging in the network cable to the access point’s RJ45 or
LAN (PoE) Ethernet interface, respectively.
1Wireless Access Points
Operating Instructions
Connect the access point to the power supply
The AP 30, AP 50, and AP 100 can be powered directly through the Power-overEthernet-injector. Note that it is also possible to power them by a PoE-compliant
switch. For more information on PoE-injectors, see below.
Connect the AP 10 and AP 15 to the power supply. Please use the power supply from
the scope of supply.
Start the communication between the access point and the UTM appliance
When connected to the network, the access point will try to receive an IP address via
DHCP. Therefore, you need either the UTM appliance (with a DHCP server enabled
and listening on the interface the access point is connected to) or any other DHCP
server to provide an IP address for the access point.
After successfully receiving an IP address, the access point will communicate with
the UTM appliance. For this to happen, the UTM appliance needs to be put in the
upstream of the access points, either being the default gateway of the access points
(which was provided by the DHCP service) or on the default route (most likely your
route to the Internet).
Please note that the actual Internet access is not necessary to use UTM Wireless
Protection. While waiting for DHCP and searching for the UTM appliance, the access
point’s power LED will blink slowly.
Enable UTM Wireless Protection on the UTM appliance
In WebAdmin, navigate to the Wireless Protection menu entry. On the Global Settings
tab, click the Enable button. When enabling Wireless Protection for the first time,
the Initial Setup frame will appear. It shows the configuration which will be created:
A separate Wireless “Guest” network using WPA2 personal with DHCP for wireless
clients, which will be allowed to use DNS on the UTM appliance and the “Web
Surfing” service.
The pre-shared key is auto-generated and will only be shown in this section. This
configuration is intended as a template, you can edit the settings at any time on the
Wireless Protection > Wireless Networks tab. You can also skip the initial setup by
ticking the checkbox on the bottom of the section.
2Wireless Access Points
Operating Instructions
Accepting the access point
The UTM appliance will start to communicate with the access point and they will
show up as “Pending” on the Wireless Protection > Access Points tab in WebAdmin.
The ID of the Access Points, shown in square brackets, is also printed on the bottom
of the device. It can be used to distinguish the access point. By clicking the Accept
button, you are given the option to select the channel this access point will transmit
on. When leaving the channel setting on “Auto”, the access point will use the least
used channel.
We also suggest to give the access point a meaningful location (e.g., “Meeting Room”)
as this will ease handling multiple access points. After clicking the Save button,
the access points will reboot. Upon reconnect, the access point will check if a more
recent firmware is available. If so, they will automatically perform a firmware update.
During the firmware update, the access point’s power LED will blink rapidly.
Important note: Do not unplug the power while the firmware is updating. Otherwise
the access point will be rendered inoperable and must be returned to the reseller.
The access point will then reboot to complete the firmware update. If no new
firmware is available, the access point is operational and appears as “Active” in
WebAdmin.

Power-over-Ethernet injector
(Optionally included with AP 30,AP 50, and AP 100)
The PoE injector converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is
then provided over the Ethernet cable to power the Sophos Access Points AP 30,AP
50, and AP 100.
Installation
Warning: Do not use crossover cable between the PoE injector’s output port and the
access point.
Before placing the PoE injector, please pay attention to the following safety
instructions:
Ì Do not cover the PoE injector or block the airflow to the PoE
with any foreign objects. Keep the PoE away from excessive
heat and humidity and free from vibration and dust.
Ì Ensure that the cable length from Ethernet network source to the access point
does not exceed 100 m
(330 ft). The PoE is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
To install the PoE injector, proceed as follows:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Data & Power Out interface.
2. Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet interface of the access point.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Data In interface.
4. Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to your network switch.
5. Connect the AC power cord from the scope of supply to the PoE injector.
6. Connect the AC power cable to an AC outlet
(100-240 VAC).
