Connecting to the Web Interface
Follow these steps to connect to the AP’s web interface through a network
connection to one of the AP’s LAN ports.
1.
Connect a PC directly to one of the AP’s LAN ports.
2.
Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the AP LAN port
default IP address. (The PC address must start 192.168.2.x with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0.)
3.
Enter the AP’s default IP address of 192.168.2.1 into the web
browser address bar.
4.
On first-time log in to the web interface, the Setup Wizard starts and
you must select how the AP will be managed, either using the
ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series controller, a uCentral cloud, or
in stand-alone mode.
5.
Continue with the Setup Wizard to make other settings:
Cloud-Managed Mode:
Select the country of operation.
EWS-Series Controller Mode:
Complete the CAPWAP setup,
use the default wireless network setting or customize the
network name, then set a password (the default user name is
“admin” with password “admin”), and select the country of
operation.
uCentral Cloud Mode:
Set a password and then select the
country of operation.
Stand-Alone Mode:
Use the default wireless network setting
or customize the network name, then set a password (the
default user name is “admin” with password “admin”), and
select the country of operation.
6.
Click “Done” to finish the setup wizard.
QR Code Onboarding
For quick set up and registration of your AP with the ecCLOUD controller,
you can scan the QR code on the AP using a phone.
Follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the AP is powered on and connected to the Internet.
2.
Use the camera (iPhone) or a barcode app (Android) on your phone
to scan the AP’s QR code. The QR code is printed on a label next to
the AP’s ports.
3.
When a message pops up, tap “yes” to join the Wi-Fi network
(iPhone requires you to go to Settings > Wi-Fi or open the browser
for the message to pop up).
The web browser should open and redirect to the Setup Wizard
page.
4.
After setting a new password and the regulatory country, select to
manage the AP using the ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series
controller, or to manage the AP in stand-alone mode.
a.
Stand-Alone Mode:
Use the default wireless network setting
or customize the network name and password. Tap “Done” to
finish the Setup Wizard.
Wait about two minutes for the AP configuration to update, and
then connect to the wireless network name configured in the
setup wizard. The browser is then redirected to the login page
of the AP.
b.
EWS-Series Controller Mode:
Complete the CAPWAP setup,
then set a password and select the country of operation. Tap
“Done” to finish the setup wizard.
Note:
To connect to the web interface using the Uplink (PoE)
port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by
default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the Uplink (PoE) port
reverts to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.10.
Note:
For more information on the Setup Wizard and AP
configuration, refer to the
User Manual
.
Note:
If the phone cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network, type
the SSID (network name) and password manually. The SSID
name is the AP serial number (for example, EC0123456789),
and the password is the AP MAC address (for example,
903CB3BC1234).
