5. Click Login.
STEP 4: CONFIGURE THE AP
The procedure for completing the Access Point’s
essential configuration depends on whether you
want it to be managed by either AP controller or
to operate as a standalone Access Point. Refer to
the section that is relevant to your deployment:
• Configuring for Management by AP Controller
• Configuring for Standalone Operation
Configuring for Management by AP
Controller
To configure the Access Point to be managed
by the AP controller, you must ensure that
the APs will be able to locate and connect to
the controller when powered on. Specifically,
you need to ensure the following.
• When connected to the network, each AP
is assigned a valid IP address
• APs are able to locate and connect the
controller
The Access Point requires a unique IP address
(fixed IP or DHCP IP) on a network that has
connectivity to a controller. The DHCP server
can be an existing network server or a ZDC
controller configured as a DHCP server.
1. Once login, first assign a fixed IP address
or a DHCP IP to the AP under Current IP
Setting. Under Wireless Switch Setting,
select Connect With Wireless Switch Via
IP and input the IP address of the AP
access controller. Click Apply to take
effect.
Configuring for Standalone Operation
Before configuring fat AP Basic settings, make
sure that AP mode is set to Fat AP.
1. If currently in Thin AP Mode: On the main
menu on the left, click Advanced Setting.
Select Fat AP from the drop-down list. Click
Apply to take effect.
3. Go to RF Configure > Wireless Settings. (For
dual band 5G setting, select Card 2 first then
go to RF Configure > Wireless Settings.)
Note:
For dual band APs, the two radios (2.4GHz and
5GHz) need to be configured separately on the
Web interface. The rest of the configuration
procedures are the same as for 2.4G and 5G radio.
2. On the main menu on the left, go to
Connection Info to check the connection
status with the AP controller. If the tunnel
has been made successfully, the connection
status will show: Connected.
2. On the main menu on the left, click Basic
Setup. In the Basic Setup page, go to the
section Configure AP as. If you want to assign
a fixed IP address, select Static IP. Enter the
parameters in the following fields: IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS
Server, and Secondary DNS Server. If you want
the wireless AP to obtain the address from the
DHCP Server automatically, select DHCP Client.
Click Apply.
These are the essential wireless settings that will
enable wireless devices on the network to
associate with the Access Point.
4. Configure the common RF setting as Channel.
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
6. Go to RF Configure > Security Profile.
7. Click one of the profiles #, tick the Enable
box and press Edit.
10. In Network Authentication, select the
desire authentication method and then
enter the encryption phrase accordingly.
2. Move the AP to its permanent location
(accessible to both power source and
network connections).
Note:
Some placement guidelines you should follow to
maximize performance and coverage.
The AC-1027-I Access Point ‘s ideal orientation is
pole mount (e.g street light pole) with its dome
pointing straight down. All APs should be
mounted as high and as visible as possible. Try
to avoid any obstructions, especially those in
close proximity to the AP . The signal strength it
will receive depends largely on its position, so
make sure that sufficient survey has been made
to determine the best placement for maximum
range, coverage, and network performance
before installing. Nevertheless, as RF can be
affected by many variables, your actual
performance may vary from the planned design.
8. Clear the Security Profile Name and
Wireless Network Name (SSID) box, and
then type a unique name that you desire
to call this wireless network. This will
help users identify this wireless network
in their wireless network connection.
9. Adjust the maximum connected users if
necessary.
11. Click Apply to save the changes.
12. Click Logout to exit the Web interface.
STEP 4: VERIFY THE CONNECTION
