Step 1 –ANTENNA CONNECTION
Connect the antenna before to turn on the device.
WARNING : use antenna only with 50Ω impedance and with operating frequency in according to technical data listed into the
above paragraph “RF information”.
The device must be set according to limitation listed at paragraph MAXIMUM PERMITTED RF THRESHOLD POWER (Pth) for
installation in Hazardous Location and the national regulation rules.
Step 2 –POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING : DO NOT WIRED POWER SUPPLY WHEN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.
FOR SAFETY REASONS WIRING MUST BE MADE ACCORDING TO WA & WS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
The device can be powered by terminal strip (J1 18 ~ 60 VDC) or through PoE/PPoE.
In case of PoE (Power over Ethernet, 48VDC) set the DIP Switch SW2 nr. 1 to ON,
In case of PPoE (Passive Power over Ethernet, 24 VDC) set the DIP Switch SW2 nr. 1 to OFF
The DIP switch position has no influence in case of power supply through terminal strip J1
The device has no ON/OFF switch. It turns on automatically when power is applied. Check that the PWR led turn on
The DIAG led stay off for around 40 seconds, until the device is fully ready to use. Then the DIAG led turns blue.

Step 3 –ETHERNET CONNECTION
Connect the Ethernet cable (if it not connected in case of PoE or PPoE).
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
FACTORY SETTINGS:
IP address: 192.168.1.253
Radio Interface disable, preset for access point mode
SSID: acksys (broadcast)
No security (no WEP, no WAP, no WAP2, no MAC filter)
802.11n or ac mode, 5GHz band, auto-channel
WEB interface for device configuration: IP address: 192.168.1.253
User name: root
Password: no password set as factory setting
Step 1
Verify that the IP address factory setting is compatible with your network, if the IP address is not suitable for your network use
Windows application WaveManager (available on web site www.acksys.fr).
After the WaveManager installation run the application, select the EmbedAir1000 device then click to “Setup”: now you can
configure the IP address or you can activate the DHCP client.

Step 2
Using your web browser open the WEB interface (IP address: 192.168.1.253) and select the “SETUP” tab:
For setup page is required User name and password and for factory setup the user name is root and no password is required
(these data can be changed under “TOOLS” tab, PASSWORD SETTINGS section)
On the “WIRELESS INTERFACES OVERVIEW” page you should first select your country in order to enforce applicable regulation
rules. The country selector is located in the global parameters, near the bottom of the page

The operating mode: 802.11 mode, radio channel (take care about local legislation), SSID
WiFi security parameters (WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, SSID broadcast or not)
For more details consult Acksys WaveOS User Guide.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND LED DEFINITION
None of the LED indicators turn ON
Verify the power supply (voltage, cabling)
Verify the fuse F1
The WiFi link does not come up
Make sure that the Wireless parameters of the Client (case sensitive SSID, 802.11 mode, radio channel and security) match
those of the AP
Check the radio conditions: distance between devices, placement of antennas, interferences and obstacles to radio waves
propagation
Try with all securities and encryption settings temporarily disabled
Try another radio channel
How to restore factory settings?
If the built-in web-based interface is reachable, you can use a browser to restore factory settings.
Else, power up the unit, wait for the DIAG led to turn blue, then hold down the reset button (for at least 2 seconds) until
DIAG goes off. Then release it and wait for the DIAG led to turn blue again, meaning that the product rebooted with its factory
settings.

MAXIMUM PERMITTED RF THRESHOLD POWER (Pth)
The RF threshold power (Pth), sometimes called the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), as defined in IEC /EN 60079-0, is
the product of the effective output power of the transmitter multiplied by the antenna gain. The maximum threshold powers for
each equipment group as defined by Table 4 in IEC/EN 60079-0 are provided below.
Because most antennas list the gain relative to an isotropic radiator (dBi) instead of the raw power gain, it is often easier to
simply add the antenna gain in dBi to the radio output power in decibel-milliwatts (dBm). Any added cable loss between the RF
output and the antenna may also be factored in.
Pth (dBm) = RF output power (dBm) + Antenna gain (dBi) –Coax cable loss between RF output and Antenna (dB)
The resulting threshold power calculated by the above formula MUST be below the threshold power for the operating area
group rating below.

The above threshold level refer to installation in classified area Ex according to IEC/EN 60079-0 standard.
The use of device differs from one region and/or country to another. The user of the device must take care that the device is
operated only according to local rules and standard or without the permission of the local authorities on frequencies other than
those specifically reserved and intended for use without a specific permit. More detailed information is available at the local
frequency management authority.
MAXIMUM JOULES CALCULATION IN CASE OF COAX CABLE INSTALLATION
In case of use of a coax cable installation for antenna installation the adding cable need to be evaluating to ensure that the
maximum energy stored on cable not exceeded the value allowable per IEC/EN 60079-11:
