SETUP REQUIREMENTS
Before installing your AC-1031 access point, be
sure that you have the following:
• A computer running Windows 7, Vista, or XP
• A CAT5 UTP cable of required length
• One of the following power sources:
- IEEE 802.3at-compliant power over Ethernet
(PoE) source
- Power adapter came with the package
STEP 1: POWER ON THE AP
The Wireless Access Point comes with a PoE
injector kit for connecting to power over the
Ethernet port. The Wireless Access Point
automatically turns on as soon as it is connected
to a power source.
Cautions:
Use only the power adapter that came with the
wireless AP.
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable to the
LAN1/POE port on the Access Point.
2. Insert the other end of an Ethernet cable
to the P+D/OUT port on the PoE injector.
3. Connect a power cord to the PoE injector.
4. Connect the power plug to a wall socket.
5. 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
DATA/IN port on the PoE injector as figured
above.
2. Insert the other end to the assigned LAN
port on your PC.
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.
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:
