INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
NETWAvE
TECH SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
7.0 Quick Configuration
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the port labelled as IN on the power Injection Module to
either a laptop or a PC LAN port.
2. Connect the second Ethernet cable from the OUT port on the Power Injection Module to the
NetWave LAN port.
3. Apply 48 VDC to the Power Injection Module with the provided power supply. You should
notice the green LED illuminate in the Power Injection Module and the power LED on the
NetWave unit.
4. Set the IP address of the laptop being used to configure NetWave to static and the subnet to
192.168.10.x/24 subnet.
5. Point the browser to 192.168.10.101. This is the default address.
For preconfigured kits (NWKX_AP and NWKX_CL) point the Browser to 192.168.10.100 for the
Access Point or 192.168.10.101 for the Client.
6. A login prompt will pop up. Enter:
Username
root
Password
root
7. Select the NETWORK » WIFI tab and set the desired network settings.
Select Apply & Save.
Note: This will be the network address for the NetWave web server. It is not necessary to set to
the same subnet as the operating network, but it is recommended.
8. Select the NETWORK -> WIFI tab and set:
• Wireless mode – Set to AP or Client
• Country code – Only required if setting up the NW2 (ETSI) model
Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the correct country is chosen. ComNet
accepts no liability for incorrect equipment set up.
• Output RF power – if received signal strength is greater than 80, it is recommended to reduce
RF TX power
• Set SSID – if changing from the default setting
• Channel Spectrum Width – May want to reduce to 20M from the default 20/40/80MHz if the
5GHz spectrum is crowded
• Wireless Security – if changing from default settings
• Select Apply Settings
• Select Save
Note: Multipoint nodes will need to have the Wireless Mode set to either AP or Client (default is
Client). And the IP addresses will need to be all set to different addresses (default address
is 192.168.10.101). Once this is done, all the clients will connect to the multipoint AP with
all other setting kept at default.
