Installation Guide

Connect the Access Point to Your Computer

1. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part

of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the

computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the

subnet mask.

2. Insert an Ethernet cable in the

Ethernet port of the computer

(point A in the illustration).

3. Securely insert the other end of the

cable into the Ethernet port on the

back panel of the access point

(point B in the illustration).

4. Connect the power adapter to the

access point and verify the following:

• Power LED. The Power LED

blinks when you turn on the

access point. After a few seconds,

the Power LED should turn steady green. If the Power LED is off or is still

blinking after 30 seconds, check the connections, and check if the power

outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is turned off.

• ACTIVE LED. The ACTIVE LED blinks when there is Ethernet traffic.

• LAN LED. The LAN LED indicates LAN speeds: green for 1000 Mbps,

amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. If no link is detected, the LAN LED is off.

• 2.4 GHz LED. The 2.4 GHz LED indicates 2.4 GHz traffic on the WLAN.

• 5 GHz LED. The 5 GHz LED indicates 5 GHz traffic on the WLAN.

Configure the LAN and Wireless Access Settings

1. On the computer that is connected to the access point, enter

http://192.168.0.100 in the address field of a browser.

2. A login window displays. When

prompted, enter admin for the user

name and password for the

password, both in lowercase letters.

The web management interface of the

access point displays. The menu lets

you navigate to the various screens.

3. Select Configuration > System > Basic > General from the menu.

In the Access Point Name field, enter a unique name or leave the default

name. From the Country/Region drop-down list, select the country where the

access point is installed. Click Apply to save your changes.

4. Select Configuration > IP > IP Settings from the menu. By default, the

access point has a static IP address of 192.168.0.100 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0 and the DHCP client is disabled. Configure the IP settings for

your LAN. Click Apply to save your changes.

Tip: If you configure the access point as a DHCP client, reserve an

IP address on the DHCP server in your network by binding the

access point’s MAC address to the IP address that is issued by the

DHCP server. The next time that you log in to the access point, you

need to use the reserved IP address.

5. Select Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless Settings from the

menu. Enable one or both radios:

• To turn on the 2.4 GHz radio, click the 802.11b//jointfilesconvert/31936/bg/ng tab and select the

Turn Radio On check box. The default wireless mode is ng (that is,

802.11ng). Click Apply to save your changes.

• To turn on the 5 GHz radio, click the 802.11a/na tab and select the

Turn Radio On check box. The default wireless mode is na (that is,

802.11na). Click Apply to save your changes.

6. Select Configuration > Security > Profile Settings from the menu.

Configure one or more security profiles for your wireless network. After

configuring each security profile, click Apply to save your changes.

The online help and the reference manual provide more information.

Test Wireless Connectivity

Using a computer or another wireless device, verify that you can establish a

wireless connection to the access point.

Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access point in

your network. You can reconfigure the computer that you used to configure the

access point back to its original TCP/IP settings.
