4. Connect Cables
a. Using the AC/DC Power Adapter
Connect the cable from the AC/DC power adapter to the DC
power jack on the AP.
Connect the power adapter to a nearby AC power source
(100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
Connect Category 5e or better cable to the
ETH1/PoE
RJ-45
port.
Connect the other end of this cable to a LAN switch.
(Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other RJ-45 port
on the AP using Category 5e or better cable.
This 1000BASE-T port is labeled
ETH2
.
b. Using a PoE Power Source
Connect Category 5e or better cable to the
ETH1/PoE
RJ-45 port, and the other end of this cable to an 802.3af PoE
LAN switch.
(Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other
ETH2
RJ-45 port on the AP using Category 5e or better cable.

During normal operation, the wireless LEDs should be on/
blinking green.
The
ETH1/PoE
port link/activity LED should be on/blinking
green.
When connected, the
ETH2
port link/activity LEDs should
also be on/blinking green.
6. Connect to the Web User Interface
To access the web interface, connect a PC directly to the AP’s
ETH2
RJ-45 port. In a web browser, enter the AP’s default management IP
address of 192.168.2.1 to access the web login page.
If you want to connect to the web interface using the
ETH1/PoE
port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by
default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the
ETH1/PoE
port reverts
to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.20.
Note:
To reset the AP to factory default settings, press and
hold down the AP’s
Reset
button for 5 seconds.
