Server, then enter the information to configure the DHCP server.

Connect the access points directly to the switch using an Ethernet cable to one of the

Fast Ethernet Ports on the switch (this does not need to be the final installation

location for the access points). Allow up to 10 minutes for the switch to locate and

download firmware to the access point(s).

3. In the Web browser (steps 1 and 2), navigate to the Access Point Installation Wizard:

a. Verify that the access point(s) are detected by the system by clicking the

Configuration tab>Basic option>Access Point Installation

Wizard>Monitoring. Unconfigured access points will be listed as

unprovisioned.

b. Follow the prompts of the Wizard to complete configuration of the switch for all

access points.

4. Refer to the documentation included with the access points to complete their

installation.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.

No lights are lit on the switch.

The switch has no power.

• Make sure the power cord is connected to the switch and plugged in to a working

power outlet or power strip.

• Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power cord supplied with your

switch.

I cannot configure the switch and access points from a browser.

Check these items:

• The WFS709TP is properly connected to a PC (not your network) and is powered on.

• Ensure that the PC is configured with the static IP address that matches the switch.

• The access points are properly connected to the switch (they do not need power).

I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless capable computer.

There is a configuration problem. Check these items:

• You may not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP

changes take effect. Restart the computer.

• The computer with the wireless adapter may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to

communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up

properly for that network. The usual setting for Windows on the Network Properties

is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.” When you set your PC to use a Fixed

(Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address in the range of the

WFS709TP. The WFS709TP default IP Address is 192.168.0.250 and the default

Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

• The switch’s default values may not work with your network. Check the access point

default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your network.

• For full instructions on changing the switch’s default values, refer to the WFS709TP

ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual. The CD provides a

link to this manual, or you can download it from
