Quick Start Guide
To create a wireless link, you need one AW5802xTP configured as a master (Access Point) and one or
more AW5802xTP radios configured as clients (Subscriber Units). We recommend connecting and pow-
ering up the units on the bench before deploying in the field because it is much easier to troubleshoot
problems and to adjust the configuration if necessary without having to climb poles to do it. Activate
the AW5802xTP units one at a time until they can be given distinct IP addresses.
Step 1. Gather the parts: In addition to the AvaLAN radios, the accompanying AW-POE Power Over
Ethernet Injectors and 12 VDC Power Adapters, you will need a CAT5 cable and a PC with a LAN
connection.
Step 2. Make the connections: Connect a radio to the PC as shown in the diagram. Plug in the power
supply to turn on the radio.
Step 3. The default IP address of the radio is written on its product label. This default address is usu-
ally 192.168.17.17. The default login password is “password.” You must configure your PC’s wired LAN
port to the same subnet and an IP address different from this one. With this configuration in place,
you should be able to use a web browser on your PC to log in to the radio’s interface.
Step 4. If you are not able to change your PC’s LAN configuration (usually because of an in-
compatible subnet), another method is available to change the radio’s IP address to some-
thing your PC can browse to. Download the AvaLAN IP Finder Utility from our website:

. Unzip to a folder of your
choice and run ipfinder.exe (a stand alone executable). You should see a window similar to that shown
on the next page:
