Basic Installation & Setup
Important Note: Make sure your existing network is using a DHCP server (e.g. router) to
distribute IP addresses to the access points. By default, TRENDnet access points listed
below will obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP or otherwise default back
to 192.168.10.100 / 255.255.255.0 if a DHCP server is not available on your network.
Each access point must be assigned a unique IP address on the same network. The
wireless controller and access points must be connected to the same IP subnet on your
network (e.g. 192.168.10.x / 255.255.255.0).
Access Point Compatibility
By default, the access points included in this kit are controller ready. For any additional
access points, please refer to the access point model compatibility list below and
controller compatible firmware version. You can download the access point’s firmware
from http://www.trendnet.com/support which include instructions on how to upgrade
the firmware.
Before any additional access points are added to the wireless controller, make sure to
reset the access points to factory default after completing the firmware upgrade.
A. Initial Controller Setup
Note: Before connecting the wirele4ss controller to the network and connecting other
devices such as PoE injectors or access points, follow the steps to set up your controller IP
address settings and administrator password first.
3. Assign a static IP address to your computer’s network adapter in the subnet of
192.168.10.x (e.g. 192.168.10.25) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
4. Open your web browser, and type in the default IP address of the controller in the
address bar, and then press Enter. The default IP address is 192.168.10.200.

password and click OK to save the new password settings. You will be prompted
immediately afterwards to login to the controller management page with the password.
10. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one of the five Gigabit Ethernet ports located on
the back of the wireless controller to your network (e.g. router, switch, etc.)
B. Connect your wireless access points
Note: Before mounting the access points to the desired locations, connect the access
points directly to the wireless controller first for initial configuration. The access points
are standard IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant and may also be connect to a PoE/PoE+ switch
for data and power, however, for the purposes of this installation guide we will reference
installation using the supplied PoE injectors.
1. Connect the included Pole injector power adapters (48V DC, 0.5A) to the supplied PoE
injectors DC IN power ports. Connect the adapters to available power outlets to power
on the PoE injectors.
2. Using the included Ethernet cables, connect the wireless controller to the DATA IN
ports of the PoE injectors.
3. Using additional Ethernet cables, connect the access points to the PWR+DATA OUT
ports of the PoE inejctors.

configuration settings to be applied to the access points
11. The initial wireless settings are complete. You can use the included hardware to
mount the access points in the desired locations.
Note: The access points must be connected to the same IP subnet as your wireless
controller. (e.g. 192.168.10.x / 255.255.255.0)
12. To mount the access points, install the mounting plates first to the desired wall or
ceiling using the included drywall anchors and screws. Install the mounting plates with
the clips facing away from the wall. If wall mounting, install the mounting plates with
the correct orientation. After the mounting plates are properly installed, align the access
point mounting holes with the mounting plate clips and slide in access point to lock into
place.

Mounting Installation
Wireless LAN Controller (TEW-WLC100)
Desktop Hardware Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following pointers:
Note: The controller model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Install the controller in a fairly cool and dry place.
Install the Controller in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators
(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
Install the controller on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in
an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see
the next section, Rack Mounting.
When installing the Controller on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub
case from scratching.
Rack Mount Hardware Installation
The controller can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be
placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the
controller’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
Note: The controller model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each controller in the
rack.
