Quick Installatin Guide
1.Connect a router or PoE switch to the access point’s LAN port using an Ethernet cable.
2.If you are using a router, then connect the power adapter to the access point’s 12V DC port and plug
the power adapter into a power supply.
3.If you are using a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch then it is not necessary to use the included power adapter, the access point will be powered by the PoE switch.
4
4.Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.2.x where x is a number in the range 2 – 254.
5.Enter the access point’s default IP address 192.168.2.1 into the URL bar of a web browser.
6.You will be prompted for a username and password. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “admin”, it is recommended that you change the password.
7.To change the SSID of your access point’s wireless network(s), go to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz or 5GHz” > “Basic”. Enter the new SSID for wireless network in the “SSID” field and click “Apply”.
8.To configure the security of your access point’s wireless network(s), go to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz or 5GHz” > “Security”.
5
Select an “Authentication Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption Key” depending on your choice, then click “Apply”.

LAN-Side IP Address
The “LAN-side IP address” page allows you to configure your access point on your Local Area Network (LAN). You can enable the access point to dynamically receive an IP address from your router’s DHCP server or you can specify a static IP address for your access point, as well as configure DNS servers.
LAN-side IP Address
IP Address Select “DHCP Client” for your access Assignment point to be assigned a dynamic IP
address from your router’s DHCP server, or select “Static IP” to manually specify a static/fixed IP address for your access point (below).
IP Address Specify the IP address here. This IP address will be assigned to your access point and will replace the default IP address.
Subnet Mask Specify a subnet mask. The default value is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway For DHCP users, select “From DHCP” to get default gateway from your DHCP
21
server or “User-Defined” to enter a gateway manually. For static IP users, the default value is blank.
DHCP users can select to get DNS servers’ IP address from DHCP or manually enter a value. For static IP users, the default value is blank.
Primary Address DHCP users can select “From DHCP” to get primary DNS server’s IP address from DHCP or “User-Defined” to manually enter a value. For static IP users, the default value is blank.
Secondary Users can manually enter a value when Address DNS server’s primary address is set to
“User-Defined”.
22
LAN Port
The “LAN Port” page allows you to configure the settings for your access point’s wired LAN (Ethernet) ports.
Wired LAN Port |
Identifies LAN port 1. |
Enable |
Enable/disable LAN port. |
Speed & Duplex |
Select a speed & duplex type for LAN port, |
|
or use the “Auto” value. LAN ports can |

|
current data processing is complete, in |
|
order to avoid device overloads under |
802.3az |
heavy traffic. |
Enable/disable 802.3az. 802.3az is an |
|
|
Energy Efficient Ethernet feature which |
|
disables unused interfaces to reduce power |
|
usage. |
