Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect power before servicing or
installing product.
Install in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes.
WARNING
Risk of injury. Wear safety glasses and gloves during installation and
servicing.
CAUTION
Use this document to set up your Wireless Are Controller’s
(WAC) network conguration. Each WAC is programmed with
a default network conguration. Use the procedure below if
you want to change the default setup.
1. Remove the top cover from the WAC. Use the four tabs on the
underside of the WAC cover to unclip the cover.
2. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into Ethernet Port 1 on the
WAC (shown in Fig. 1).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into an Ethernet port on
your laptop.
• Turn OFF Wi-Fi on your laptop.
 •Conrmthelaptop’sEthernetinterfaceisconguredforDHCP.
4. Initiate the WAC setup procedure as follows:
A. Press and hold “Button A” on the WAC (shown in Fig. 2).
B. Plug the 12VDC adapter supplied with the WAC into a
  100-240VAC50/60Hzoutlet.
C. Continue holding Button A for 45 seconds after power is
  applied.TheWACstatusindicatorwillstartashinggreen.
5. Wait two minutes for the laptop to fallback to a link-local IP
address.
Technical Note: Computers running Windows and OS X fallback
to using a link-local address when their network interface is
congured to use DHCP, and a DHCP server doesn’t allocate an
IP address. This will always happen as the WAC and laptop are
directly connected, i.e., there will be no DHCP server.
6. ToaccesstheWAC’swebpage,openawebbrowserand
navigate to https://169.254.199.101
7. Log in using the following credentials:
Username: webadmin
Password: webadmin
8. Click on the StatusmenuontheWAC’swebpage.Recordthe
IEEE address; it should match the value on the WAC label. It is
 usedforidenticationandvalidationwhentheWACisadded
