ETHERNET
The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data or to a PSE (Power
Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cabling.

Clients
A DHCP server (typically a router) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
The management host can be in the same or different network segment with the EAPs.

The EAP can be ceiling rail mounted, ceiling-mounted, or wall-mounted.
The instructions for various mounting options are on the back of this Quick Installation Guide.

To quickly set up a wireless network connection with mass EAPs, please follow the steps
below.
Note: The IP address of the management host must be reachable for the EAPs in the network. In this example, the
Software Configuration
management host is in the same LAN as the EAPs.
Step 1: Installing the EAP Controller
On the management host, download the EAP Controller installation file from the product
support page at www.tp-link.com. Run the file and follow the wizard to install the EAP
Controller.
Step 2: Configuring the EAP Controller
Launch the EAP Controller and follow the configuration wizard to create a primary wireless
network. After the wizard is finished, a login screen will appear. Enter the admin name and
password you created and click Sign In.
Step 3: Adopting the EAP devices
Adopt the EAP devices in the Controller management interface to change their status from
Pending to Connected.
CONSOLE
This port is used to connect to the serial port of a computer or a terminal to check and
monitor system information of the EAP device. CLI commands are not available in current
software version. We will release a new version supporting CLI commands soon. Please pay
close attention to our official website.
Option 3: Wall Mounting
For More Congurations
You can now manage your wireless network and view network statistics using the EAP
Controller. Please refer to the EAP Controller User Guide for more information about
conguring and using the Controller software.
