ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point with RFID Support, WNDAP380R
Connect the Wireless Access Point to a Computer
Tip:
Before you place the wireless access point in an elevated position that is
difficult to reach, first set up and test the wireless access point to verify
wireless network connectivity.
To set up the wireless access point:
1.
Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2.
Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your
network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the computer with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
3.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (
A)
of the computer.
4.
Securely insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the wireless access point’s Ethernet
port (
B
).

5.
Turn on your computer.
6.
Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point.
Tip:
The wireless access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) with
power redundancy. Both Ethernet ports can provide power. If you have a
switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power adapter to
power the wireless access point. Using PoE can be especially
convenient when the wireless access point is installed in a high location
far away from a power outlet.
7.
Verify the following:
Power/Test LED
. The Power/Test LED blinks when the wireless access point is
first turned on. (To be exact, during startup, the LED is first steady amber, then
goes off, and then blinks green.) After about 45 seconds, the LED should stay lit
(steady green). If after one minute the Power/Test LED is not lit or is still blinking,
check the connections and see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall switch
that is turned off.
