1. Detach the faceplate of the junction box with a Phillips screwdriver (demonstrated with an 86 mm wall junction box).

Note:

Do not over tighten the screws.

If the enclosed screws do not t the junction box, use the screws attached to the

junction box instead.

Software Conguration

A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.

The EAP supports two configuring options:

To configure and manage EAPs singly (usually suitable for a small network with a

few EAPs), Standalone Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 1.

To configure and manage EAPs in batch, Controller Mode is recommended.

Please refer to Option 2.

Option2: Controller Mode

Controller Mode is applicable to configuration for mass EAPs. All EAPs can be

centrally configured and monitored via Omada Software Controller, Omada Hardware

Controller (OC200/OC300) or Omada Cloud-Based Controller.
