Chapter 1 Installation
Note
Please read the safety notices carefully before installing and starting up your device.
These are supplied with the device.
1.1 bintec W2022ac and bintec W2022ac-ext
1.1.1 Setting up and connecting
Note
All you need for this are the cables supplied with the equipment.
The device bintec W2022ac equipped integrated antennas. Their radiation is optimized for
ceiling mounting.
The device bintec W2022ac-ext uses external antennas.
When setting up and connecting, carry out the steps in the following sequence:
(1) Antennas
For bintec W2022ac-ext screw the provided standard antennas on to the connect-
ors provided for this purpose.
(2) LAN
For the standard configuration of your device via Ethernet, connect port LAN1 of
your device to your PC .
The device automatically detects whether it is connected to a switch or directly to a
PC.
Use just one of the ports LAN1 and LAN2, the second port is used to cascade a
number of devices. If you use both Ethernet connections on the same switch, loops
may be formed.
The standard patch cable (RJ45-RJ45) is symmetrical. It is therefore not possible to
mix up the cable ends.
(3) Power connection

Note
The devices are supplied without a mains unit. The power adapter with EU plug (part
number 5500002091) is available as an accessory.
Connect the device to a mains socket. Use the power cord and insert it in the appro-
priate socket on your device. Now plug the power cord into a power socket
(100–240 V). The status LED signal that your device is correctly connected to the
power supply. Optionally, power can be supplied through a standard PoE injector
(part number 5530000338).
Installation
The access points are to be mounted either on the wall or on the ceiling, or use as a table-
top device.
Use as a table-top device
The device have integrated rubber pads. Place your device on a solid, level base.
Wall-/ Ceilingmounting
The devices are to be mounted by tabs on the back of the housing to the wall. A ceiling
mount is available as an accessory to mount the device on the ceiling (article number
5520000163). The ceiling mount allows mounting on suspended system ceilings without
drilling and dowels.
Warning
Before drilling, make sure that there are no building installations where you are drilling.
If gas, electricity, water or waste water lines are damaged, you may endanger your life
or damage property.
• Use the bracket as a template to mark out the drilling holes.
• Screw the bracket to the wall or ceiling with the provided dowels and screws.
• When mounting the unit to the struts of an intermediate ceiling, screw the supplied plastic
clips to the back of the bracket.
• Connect all necessary cables (Ethernet, power supply) to the access point before insert-
ing it into the bracket.
Make sure that the cables are not a source of danger! Guide the cables through the cable
guides!
• Fit the device onto the 3 metal pins and push it down until it clicks into place. When

mounting to an intermediate ceiling, push the plastic clips against the braces so that they
click into place, too.
• If necessary, secure the device with a Kensington® lock against theft.
Ceilingmounting
1.1.2 Connectors
The connections are located on the underside of the device:
Underside
1 POWER Socket for power supply
2 LAN1/PoE und
LAN2 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet interfaces.
1.1.3 LEDs
The LEDs show radio status and radio activity of your device.
Note
Note that the number of active WLAN LEDs depends on the number of existing wire-
less modules.

The LEDs are arranged as follows:
In operation mode, the LEDs display the following status information for your device:
LED status display
LED Colour Status Information

yellow on (flashing) 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s data traffic
green on (static) 1000 Mbit/s active
green on (flashing) 1000 Mbit/s data traffic

on (slowly
blinking)
SSID active, no client is authenticated
on (fast blink-
ing)

on (flashing) SSiD active, one or more clients authenticated
and data traffic
You can choose from three different operation modes of the LEDs in the System Manage-
ment->Global Settings->System menu.
Note
If you change the LED behavior through the GUI, this setting is preserved if you reset
