SETUP REQUIREMENTS
Before installing your AC-1027-I access point, be
sure that you have the following:
• A computer running Windows 7, Vista, or XP
• A CAT5 UTP cable of required length
• Power adapter came with the package.
STEP 1: POWER ON THE AP
The AP supports both AC power and PoE. For
instructions on completing the power connection
that you need to make, refer to the
procedures below:
Use AC Power
1. Using the shipped power adapter to
connect to the AC/DC jack on the rear side
of the AP.
2. Connect the power plug to a wall socket.
Use Power Over Ethernet
The Wireless Access Point supports power
over the Ethernet port. The Wireless
Access Point automatically turns on as
soon as it is connected to a PoE switch.
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable to the
LAN 1/POE port on the Access Point.
2. Insert the other end to the LAN port on a
PoE switch.
3. Perform a spot-check to verify if the PWR
LED is lit to make sure the AP is powered
up successfully.
STEP 2: CONNECT THE AP TO YOUR
PC
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable to the
LAN 1 port on the Access Point.
2. Insert the other end to the assigned LAN
port on your PC as figured above.
3. From your computer, go to Start > Settings >
Network Connections or Start > Control
Panel > Network Connections.
4. When the Network Connections window
appears, right-click the icon for Local Area
Connection, and then click select Properties.
5. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the
scrolling list, and then click Properties.
6. Select Use the following IP address option
(if it is not already selected), and then make
the following entries:
• IP address: Any address in the 192.168.1.x
network
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
7. Click OK to save your changes, and exit the
dialog box.
STEP 3: LOG INTO THE AP
1. On your PC, open a Web browser window.
2. In the browser, type https://192.168.1.1 and
press <Enter> to connect to the AP.
3. When a security alert dialog box appears,
click OK/Yes to proceed.
4. When the login page appears, enter the
following:
• Username: admin
• Password: password
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.
