Connecting the access point
Step 1: Connect one end of a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the PoE In (LAN/Uplink)
port on the rear of the access point.
Note: DO NOT connect a PoE injector to any of the four access ports on the
front as this could cause damage to the device.
Step 2: Connect the other end of the cable to a PoE Ethernet switch or the PoE
‘PoE Out’-port on the PoE injector.
Step 3: Using another RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect one end to the Ethernet port
on the computer, and connect the other end to another port on the PoE Ethernet
switch or to the ‘Data In’-port on the PoE injector.
Step 4: Verify that the Power LED on the access point is steady orange.
Note: The access point supports both IEEE 802.3af/at PoE
(Power-over-Ethernet) or an optional DC power adapter (sold separately). You
may use either one as the power source. DO NOT use both at the same time.
IP adress configuration
Step 1: Once your computer is on, ensure that your
TCP/IP is set to ‘On’ or ‘Enabled’. ‘Open Network
Connections’ and then click ‘Local Area Connection’.
Select ‘Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’.
Step 2: If your computer is already on a network,
ensure that you have set it to a static IP address on
the interface. (Example: 192.168.1.10 and the
subnet mask address as 255.255.255.0.)
Management switch setup
Step 1: Open a web browser on your computer.
In the adress bar of the web browser, typ in 192.168.1.1 and choose Enter.
Step 2: A login screen will appear. By default, the username is admin and
the password is admin. Enter the current username and password of the
wireless management switch and then click ‘Login’.
Step 3: The EnGenius wireless management switch user interface will appear.
This device can operate in access point mode.
