Configuration
(Master to Slave)
WEC/Reset
(Press 3 sec)
There are two alternative AP modes defined for the
device to operate with WEC (Wireless Easy
Connection) feature. One is Master Mode (by
default), and the other is Slave Mode.
Please manually configure the Wireless Setting for
the Master AP through web UI first, and also
prepare a Slave AP that already been set to Slave
Mode.
1. Press the WEC/Reset button of the Master AP
for 1~3 seconds, release it to trigger the WEC
process. Then, the WiFi LED flashes fast.
2. Press the WEC/Reset button of the Slave AP
for 1~3 seconds, release it to trigger the WEC
process. Then, the WiFi LED flashes fast.
Note: The Slave AP must be an un-configured
one, if it has already been paired and
configured before, please reset its Slave
configuration first.
3. After a few seconds (normally about 30~60
seconds). The Master and Slave APs can be
paired automatically, and auto-duplicates the
VAP1 wireless setting of the Master AP as that
of the Slave AP.
(If there is something wrong during paring the
two devices, the process will be finished in 2
minutes.)
4. Once the easy configuration process
completed, the Status LED will be recovered to
its original behavior (prior to you triggered it).
And the WiFi LED will be Solid Green when
Slave AP is connected to the network.

Getting Started
Before you can install this product to designated location and make it
operate properly, you have to configure the device setting to fit in your
network environment.
Hardware Preparation:
a. Connect an Ethernet cable between this device and the
computer that you will operate to set up the device.
b. Power on the device via connecting the power adaptor DC
Plug to the DC Jack of this device and plug in the power adaptor to an
electrical outlet.

Most computers are connecting to a local network with dynamic IP (DHCP)
setting. To access the web UI of the device, you have to change your
computer's TCP/IPv4 settings into a static IP setting for the Ethernet
Interface. You can refer to Appendix A for how to assign a Static IP address
you your computer.
The device's default IP address is 192.168.123.50, and your computer must
be assigned with a 192.168.123.x IP address to get access to the device.
Software Preperation
Referring to Appendix A, and set the TCP/IPv4 address of your computer to
192.168.123.25, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
After applying this setting, you can now access to the web UI for
configuring the device.

Easy Set up via Web UI
You can browse web UI to configure the device. Firstly you need to launch
the Setup Wizard browser first and then the Setup Wizard will guide you
step-by-step to finish the basic setup process.
Activate the setup wizard
Type in the IP Address (http://192.168.123.50)
Type the default password "admin" in the system authentication fields,
and then click 'login' button.
Select your language.
Select "Wizard" for basic settings in a simple way.
Or, you can go to Basic Network / Advanced Network / Applications /
System to setup the configuration by your own selection.

Press "Next" to start the Setup Wizard.
Configure with Setup Wizard
Step 1 You can change the password of administrator here..
Step 2 LAN IP Address.You have to change the IP address of this device
according to your network configuration.

Step 3-1 Wireless settings.You can specify the Wireless setting for VAP1.
Step 3-2 Wireless settings. Specify VAP1's wireless authentication and
encryption.

Step 4 Check the information again.
Step 5 System is applying the setting.
Step 6 Click finish to complete it.

Use WEC button to setup wireless profiles
WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) is an easy configuration feature that is
similar to well-known WPS function. It can be used to duplicate one
device's wireless configuration to the other AP devices from the same
manufacture by clicking one button for both devices.
There are two alternative AP modes defined for the device to operate with
WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) feature. One is the Master Mode (by
default), and the other is the Slave Mode. Before starting to use WEC to
configure your AP devices, you have to learn how to identify and set the
device in the Master Mode, or the Slave Mode (As stated in Section 1.2.4
and 1.2.5).
One Master and several isolated Slaves
As illustrated in above figure, how to configure the three APs (AP1, AP2,
AP3) to build up the "staff" wireless network? You can follow the
procedure bellow:

Step
Button
Description
1
Set AP1 in Master Mode,
and configure it via web
UI.
1. Make sure AP1 is in Master Mode (WiFi LED
should be “Green” color, if not, you have to
toggle its AP mode via pressing the WEC
button for 9~10 seconds)
2. Login in to AP1 web UI and configure the
wireless settings as what you want (LAN IP,
SSID, encryption key, etc..).
2 Set AP2 and AP3 in
Slave Mode.
1. Make sure AP2 / AP3 is in Slave Mode (WiFi
LED should be “Amber” color, if not, you have
to toggle its AP mode via pressing the WEC
button for 9~10 seconds)
3 Easy configure AP2 via
WEC.
Master to Slave WEC:
1. Trigger AP1 into WEC configuration process via
pressing the WEC button for 3 second.
2. Trigger AP2 into WEC configuration process via
pressing the WEC button for 3 second.
3. It takes 30 ~ 60 seconds for the device to finish
the WEC configuration process.
4 Easy configure AP3 via
WEC.
Master to Slave WEC:
1. Trigger AP1 into WEC configuration process via
pressing the WEC button for 3 second.
2. Trigger AP3 into WEC configuration process via
pressing the WEC button for 3 second.
3. It takes 30 ~ 60 seconds for the device to finish
the WEC configuration process.
5
Mount the devices AP1,
AP2, and AP3 to
expected locations.
1. Install AP1 to its location first and verify its
wireless network connectivity with a client
device (Client3).
2. Install AP2 to its location and verify its wireless
network connectivity with a client device
(Client4) at the location beyond the service
range of AP1.
Besides, You can also check the AP2’s WiFi
LED, it should be “Solid Amber” if AP2 already
connected a Master AP AP1.
3. Install AP3 to its location and verify its wireless
network connectivity with a client device
(Client1) at the location beyond the service
range of AP1.
In this case, AP3 is located out of the service
range of AP1, you don’t have to check AP3’s
WiFi LED, but you have to connect the AP3
with an Ethernet cable to the gateway.

One Master and a series of connected Slaves
This device also support universal repeater function, you can easily extend
the wireless network with a series repeaters that are wireless
concatenated to build up the wireless network without running Ethernet
cables to each repeater.
As illustrated in above figure, if you intend to deploy 4 APs (AP1 ~ AP4) to
create a "Staff" wireless network, you can follow the procedure below:

Mount the devices AP1,
AP2, AP3, and AP4 to
expected locations.
1. Install AP1 to its location first and verify its
wireless network connectivity with a client
device.
2. Install AP2 to its location and verify its wireless
network connectivity with a client device at the
location beyond the service range of AP1.
Besides, You can also check the AP2’s WiFi
LED, it should be “Solid Amber” if AP2 already
connected a Master AP AP1.
3. Install AP3 to its location and verify its wireless
network connectivity with a client device at the
location beyond the service range of AP2.
Besides, You can also check the AP3’s WiFi

Although such wireless repeater function is available, there are limitations
for such topology.
First, the available bandwidth for AP2 ~ AP4 will be decayed due to it is
connected to it peer AP wirelessly. It depends on the data rate and
environment. Besides, if one of the AP, say AP2, is disconnected, the APs
behind it will be disconnected as well. Such topology needs more
maintenance effort to keep the whole wireless network connectivity.
If Ethernet cable is reachable, connecting each AP to an Ethernet Uplink is
recommended. Above WEC configuration process is also suitable for
running Ethernet cables to AP2 ~ AP4 to get a better wireless network.
