Mount the Device
a. Mounting on a Wall
1. At the installation location on the wall, use the mounting bracket to
mark four holes for the wall plugs and screws. The bracket must be
installed with the marking “UP” at the top.
Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap
them flush with the wall surface.
2. Use the included M6 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the
device.
3. With its ports facing down, slide the device down onto the pre-
installed screws until it snaps into its secured position. Do not let go
of the device until you confirm that it is secure.
b. Mounting on a Pole
1. Use the included M6 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the
device.
2. Feed the two steel-band clamps through the pole-mount bracket
mounting points.
Warning: For a safe and reliable installation, use only the
accessories and screws provided with the device. Use of other
accessories and screws could result in damage to the unit. Any
damages incurred by using unapproved accessories are not
covered by the warranty.
Note: The drawings in this document are for illustration only
and may not match your particular model.

3. Fasten the steel-band clamps around the pole to secure the AP to
the pole.
Ground the Device
1. Ground the device by connecting a ground wire to the grounding
point on the device and to nearby good earth.
Connect Cables
a. Connect Ethernet Cables
1. Connect Category 5e or better cable to the Uplink (PoE In)
2.5GBASE-T RJ-45 port. When connected to a PoE source, the
Uplink (PoE In) port connection provides power to the unit.
2. (Optional) Connect a local LAN switch or computers to the LAN
1000BASE-T RJ-45 port.
b. (Optional) Connect DC Power
3. Wire the included DC terminal plug to a 48 VDC, 0.5 A source to
provide power to the device. Follow the wiring scheme shown on the
panel with the negative pole (-) on the left and the positive pole (+)
on the right.
c. (Optional) Management Connection
4. Connect an RJ-45 to DB9 straight-through console cable and then
configure the serial connection: 115200 bps, 8 characters, no
parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control.
Check AP LED
1. When operating normally, the Power/Status LED should be on yellow
green. Blinking indicates the device is booting up.
Initial Setup and AP Registration
There are two options for setting up the AP for your network:
When the AP is first connected to the Internet through the
Uplink port, it is automatically redirected to ecOpen
(https://cloud.openwifi.ignitenet.com/). Enter the AP’s MAC
address and serial number for device registration.
By default, the AP is assigned an IP address through DHCP. If
the AP cannot connect to ecOpen, access the AP’s web
interface through one of the AP’s LAN ports to make
configuration changes (for example, to change from DHCP to
a static IP). See section “Connecting to the Web Interface”.
Note: Port covers and cable glands should be tightened to a
torque of 10 kgf.cm.

Connecting to the Web Interface
Note that you can only connect to the AP’s web interface when the AP is
not connected to the Internet.
Follow these steps to connect to the AP’s web interface through a network
connection to one of the AP’s LAN ports.
1. Connect a PC directly to one of the AP’s LAN ports.
2. Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the AP LAN port
default IP address. (The PC address must start 192.168.1.x with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0.)
3. Enter the AP’s default IP address of 192.168.1.1 into the web
browser address bar.
4. Log in to the web interface using the default user name “root” and
password “openwifi”.
Safety and Regulatory Information
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help
