Make a note of the MAC address. This can be found on the WAP 100AC rear panel label.
Mount and Cable the WAP 100AC
ATTENTION:
•
Do not power on the WAP 100AC until you have read the Attention in the Power Supply section of the
WAP 100AC User
Guide
.
•
Ne branchez pas le WAP 100AC avant d’avoir lu la mise en garde dans la section « sources d’alimentation » du

100AC User Guide
.
Decide where to mount the WAP 100AC
Prepare the mounting site. Do not finish mounting the unit until all the cables are in place.
Use Ethernet cable to connect the WAP 100AC to a power injector or the network.
If you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE), connect a 12 VDC power power supply.
NOTE:
The WAP 100AC can use a 12 VDC, minimum 1.0 A power supply or a PoE+ (802.3at compliant) power injector.
Extron recommends using PoE.
Complete the mounting of the WAP 100AC.
Set up the WAP 100AC for Network Communication
Connect the PC that you will use for setup to the same Ethernet subnetwork as the WAP 100AC.
Use the WAP 100AC Web pages to configure the WAP 100AC network settings.
Mounting
ATTENTION:
•
All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and
national building codes and electrical codes.
•
Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualifié, conformément aux codes
du bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.
Consider the Mounting Location
Consider these issues to determine a suitable position to mount the WAP 100AC for optimal performance:
•
Walls, ceilings, and objects such as filing cabinets can decrease signal strength. Take into account the number, thickness,
and location of walls and ceilings.
•
Wireless signals are weakened less by dry wall than many other materials, such as brick or metal.
•
Interference from electrical devices that generate RF noise (for example, microwaves or cordless phones) can also weaken
the signal.
•
Two or more WAP 100AC units can be used to wirelessly connect networks or to enlarge the wireless area beyond the area
that can be served by a single access point.
