Recommended use of the Jumper Cable
You can mount your access point to the electrical box in one of two positions, shown below. These options are
provided to provide cable bend relief for cables of dierent lengths and thicknesses. Illustrations do not reflect
pre-install steps. Run the wire or jumper prior to connecting the access point.
Position A (820) Position B (520/820)

Step 5: Configuration
Araknis WAPs can be configured through OvrC or the local interface. The local interface is accessible using OvrC’s
webconnect feature, typing the WAP’s DHCP address into your browser’s address bar, or using the WAP’s default
IP address.
Configuration Through OvrC
OvrC gives you Wi-Fi management, remote device management, real-time notifications, and intuitive customer
management, right from your computer or mobile device. Setup is plug-and-play, with no port forwarding or
DDNS address required. To add this device to your OvrC account:
1. Connect the WAP to the Internet
2. Log Into OvrC (www.ovrc.com)
3. Add the Device (MAC address and
Service Tag numbers needed for
authentication)

11
Logging in to the Local Interface
1. Log into the WAP using the default credentials:
Username araknis
Password araknis
2. You must update the password after initial login.
Pro Tip: Strong passwords are long and unrelated to the client’s public details. For example, thepeppero-
nipizzas is stronger and easier to remember than P@ssword or thesmiths.

12
Saving and Applying Changes
1. Click the Save button after applying changes to a page. This holds the new settings in the Apply Changes
field.
2. After all desired changes have been made, click the flashing Apply Changes button, at the bottom of the
left menu, to review the new settings. Click Apply to make the changes or Revert to cancel the changes.
Note: Settings take aect after the progress bar completes 100%.

13
Other Access Methods: DHCP IP Address
The WAP is configured to DHCP by default so that the DHCP server can assign an
IP address when the WAP is connected to the network (the DHCP server is usually
the router). This address can be used for accessing the web interface.
Use one of these methods to find the IP address of the WAP:
• Check the device list in OvrC
• Check the client table on your router
• Use a network scanner (e.g. Fing) to scan the network. The Araknis WAP
manufacturer field displays SnapAV
• See the highlighted field in the Fing screenshot to the right for an example of
an Araknis device being identified

14
Other Access Methods: Default IP Address
If the WAP is not given an IP address on the network, or needs to be accessed while not connected to a network,
you can configure your computer’s network connection to access the WAP using the default IP address,
192.168.20.253.
1. Connect your PC to the WAP
using an Ethernet cable.
2. Open the Control Panel and
click Network and Internet.
3. Click Network and Sharing
Center.
