Preface Package Contents
4ipnet EAP200 is a high-end 802.11n/b/g 2.4GHz
MIMO Access Point (AP) with the best price/
performance for business and industrial applications
and is compliant with the latest industrial wireless
security standards that are required in the tightly
secured enterprise network environments.
EAP200 makes the wireless communication fast,
secure and easy. It supports business grade
security such as 802.1X, and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA and WPA2). By pushing a purposely
built button, the 4ipWES (Press-n-Connect)
feature makes it easy to bridge wireless links of
multiple EAP200s for forming wider wireless
network coverage.
EAP200 also features multiple ESSIDs with VLAN
tags and multiple Virtual APs; great for enterprise
applications, such as separating the traffics of
different departments using different ESSIDs. The
PoE LAN port can receive power from Power over
Ethernet (PoE) sourcing device. Its metal case is
IP50 anti-dust compliant, which means that EAP200
is well suited to WLAN deployment in industrial
environments.

Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of EAP200:
1. Place the EAP200 at a best location.
The best location for EAP200 is usually at the center of your wireless network.
2. Connect EAP200 to your network device.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of EAP200 and the other end of the cable to a
switch, a router or a hub. EAP200 is then connected to your existing wired LAN network.
3. There are two ways to supply power over to EAP200.
(a) Connect the DC power adapter to the EAP200 power socket.
Please only use the power adapter supplied with the EAP200 package. Using a different power
adapter may damage this system.
(b) EAP200 LAN port is capable of transmitting DC currents. Connect an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSE
device, e.g. a PoE-switch, to the LAN port of EAP200 by the Ethernet cable.
Now, the Hardware Installation is completed.
To double verify the wired connection between EAP200 and your switch/router/hub, please
check the LED status indication of these network devices.
