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.
