2. System Overview and Getting Started
2.1 Introduction of 4ipnet Access Points
Indoor –EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 / EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757
The 4ipnet’s Enterprise Access Point EAP Series are embedded with 802.11 a/b/g/n MIMO technology,
designed for seamless wireless connectivity in enterprise or industrial environments of all dimensions.
EAP220 / EAP320 / EAP750 / EAP757 feature dual radio RF cards to offer flexible implementations
needed for the growing wireless networking applications. The EAP Series make wireless communication
fast, secure and easy. They support business grade security, namely 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 access points for forming a wider wireless network coverage.
The EAP Series also features multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags and multiple Virtual APs, great for
enterprise applications, such as separating traffic from different departments using different ESSIDs. The
PoE LAN port is able to receive power from Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourcing devices.
EAP210, EAP220 and EAP320’s metal housing is IP50 anti-dust compliant, which means that these
Access Points are well suited to WLAN deployment in industrial environments. EAP747 / EAP750 /
EAP757 are packed in fire-retardant wall/ceiling mountable plastic enclosures, and are built perfectly to
blend in with your décor.
Outdoor –OWL530 / OWL610 / OWL620
The 4ipnet OWL530 / OWL610 / OWL620 Outdoor Access Point is embedded with dual(OWL620) /
single(OWL610 and OWL530) radio RF cards (802.11 a/b/g/n MIMO) in weatherproof housing, designed
for building municipal or campus wide wireless networks in harsh outdoor environments. The OWL Series’
rust-free die-cast Aluminum housing is IP68 compliant and high wind load resilient. All the components
are designed to operate in a wide range of temperature. The OWL Series Outdoor Access Point makes
wireless communication fast, secure and easy. It supports business grade security, namely 802.1X, and
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2).
Combined with a variety of directional antennas (chosen by professionals), one OWL620 with dual radios
is easy to serve clients located in different directions as well as to cover longer range. With all modules
supporting a/b/g/n bands, more channels are available for better channel planning. For example, to
reduce radio interferences, network planners may select channels in 5 GHz for backhaul or bridges while
allocating non-overlapping channels in 2.4 GHz for serving clients.
Please note that screenshots are taken from APs which feature dual RF cards. Single RF
Card APs can be configured in the same manner from the User Interface.

2.3 Hardware Installation
Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320:
Step 1. Place the EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 at the best location. The best location is usually at the center
of your intended wireless network.
Step 2. Connect the EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP 320 to your network device. Connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to the Uplink port of EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 and the other end of the cable to a switch, a
router, or a hub. EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 is then connected to your existing wired LAN network.
Step 3. There are two ways to supply power to EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320
a) Connect the DC power adaptor to the EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 power jack socket.
b) The EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 Uplink port is capable of receiving DC currents. Connect a
(IEEE 802.3at-compliant for EAP220 and 802.3af/at-compliant for EAP210 / EAP320) PSE
device (e.g. a PoE-switch) to the Uplink port of EAP210 / EAP220 / EAP320 with the Ethernet
cable.
Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757:
Step 1. Place the EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757 at the best location. The best location is usually at the center
of your intended wireless network. If admin would like to mount the AP on the wall (on a socket), the
figure below indicates how the mounting kit can be used on the back of the device. Screw the metal
panel to the wall, and then turn the EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757 clockwise to fasten to the panel. For
installation instructions on the Ceiling Mount Kit, please refer to the included Installation Guide.

Step 2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Uplink port and the other end of the cable to a switch, a
router, or a hub. The EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757 is now connected to your existing wired LAN
network.
Step 3. There are two ways to supply power to EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757
a) Connect the DC power adaptor to the power jack socket.
b) The Uplink port is capable of receiving PoE. Connect an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PSE device
(e.g. a PoE-switch) to the Uplink port of EAP747 / EAP750 / EAP757 with the Ethernet cable.
Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of OWL530 / OWL610 / OWL620:
Step 1. Connect an antenna to the Access Point’s antenna connector.
Step 2. Connect the Ethernet Port of OWL530 / OWL610 / OWL620 to the POWER & DATA OUT Port of a
802.3af PSE device.
Step 3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Data In Port of PSE and the other end to the computer.
Step 4. Power on the PSE in order to supply adequate power to the OWL530 / OWL610 / OWL620.
Now, the Hardware Installation is complete.
Please use only the power adapter supplied with the package. Using a different power
adapter may damage this system.
To verify the wired connection between the AP and your switch / router / hub, please also
check the LED status indicator of the respective network devices.

2.4 Access Web Management Interface
4ipnet Access Points support web-based configuration. When hardware installation is complete, the AP can
be configured through a PC by using a web browser.
The default values of the AP’s LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask are:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Example of entering the AP's default IP Address into a web browser
To access the web management interface (WMI), connect the administrator PC to the LAN port
of the AP via an Ethernet cable. Then, set a static IP Address on the same subnet mask as the AP in
TCP/IP settings of your PC, such as the following example:
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note:
Please note that the IP Address used should not overlap with the IP Addresses of
any other device within the same network to avoid IP conflict.
Launch the web browser on your PC and enter the IP Address of the AP (192.168.1.1) at the
address field, and then press Enter. The following Administrator Login Page will appear. Enter
“admin” for both the Username and Password fields, and then click Login.
Administrator Login Page
After a successful login into AP, a System Overview page of the Web Management Interface
(WMI) will appear.
