
Example of network configuration
Type of the network VLAN used SSID used Encryption/
authorization by
password
Inner corporate wireless network using 2.4 and 5 GHz
bands. The network is isolated from other guest networks.
To connect to the network, password authorization is
required. The network is dedicated to secure data exchange
among company staff.
100 WorkNetwork WPA/WPA2
Guest wireless network using 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The
network does not require password authorization. It is
dedicated to connect users with standard wireless gadgets
to a public network for Internet access, for instance.
1 (without
VLAN)
FreeNetwork No encryption and
authorization
To perform the configuration, you need to have a PC with access to the device via Ethernet and any web browser
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.)

2 Connecting the web interface
Connection of a PC to the device might be executed as follows:
•Connect network cable to PoE interface of WOP-2ac and to PoE injector (or switch). Then connect a PC to
the PoE injector (or switch).
To connect to the web interface of the device, enter the following to the URL bar of your browser: 192.168.1.10. If
the connection has been performed successfully, the authorization page will be displayed. Use the following data
for authorization:
•User Name: admin
•Password: password
If the authorization page is not displayed after entering the device IP in the browser, check the IP address on the
PC and switch settings. If the configuration on the device has been changed (is not a default one), reset the device
to factory settings. To perform this, press and hold the button «F» on the side panel of the device within 20
seconds.

3 Configuration of WOP-2ac network parameters
For remote management of WOP-2ac, you should set network parameters of the device according to the settings
of the network that you intend to use.
In «Manage» menu, open «Ethernet Settings» tab and perform the following:
•Management VLAN ID – set the number of VLAN that you are going to use for access point management. 1
is used in the given example.
•Connection Type – select «Static IP» to set IP addresses for access points manually. Specify the IP address
of WOP-2ac (in the example, it is 192.168.15.250) in «Static IP Address» field. Enter the address of the
default gateway in «Default Gateway» field. 192.168.15.1. Changing the network mask is optional. If you
want the access points to obtain IP addresses via DHCP, «Connection type» field should be set to «DHCP»
value. If DHCP is selected, the network settings configuration is completed.
Click «Update». Since that, WOP-2ac is available in 1 VLAN via 192.168.15.250 address.
Before changing the settings, make sure that the managing computer has the access to the access point. If you
make a mistake while changing the settings, you may undo them by resetting the access point to factory settings.
To perform this, press and hold «F» button on the side panel of the device for 20 seconds until the indicator on the
front panel is blinking.

e-mail:[email protected]
After obtaining the relevant firmware version, open the menu «Maintenance», «Upgrade» tab and perform the
following:

•Press «Switch» button if you want to switch to an Alternative firmware image set in «Secondary Image»
field.
•Upload Method – check «HTTP» box.
•New Firmware Image – click «Browse» («Выберите файл»)button and select relevant firmware version,
click «Open».
Click «Upgrade». The process may take several minutes (its current status will be shown on the page). The device
will be automatically rebooted when the update is completed.
Do not switch off or reboot the device during the firmware update.
You may check the current firmware version in «Basic Settings» menu (Firmware Version).

5 SNMP service configuration
SNMP service configuration is performed in «Services» menu, «SNMP» section.
•Restrict the source of SNMP requests to only the designated hosts or subnets – check «Enabled» box.
•Hostname, address, or subnet of Network Management System – specify an IP-address of SNMP server,
from which SNMP commands will be transmitted.
•Community name for traps – set «public» .
•Enabled / Host Type / Host name or IP orIPv6 Address– check one of the fields for specifying traps
receiver address and enter an IP address of the device to which WOP-2ac will send traps.
Click «Update».

6 Wireless interfaces configuration
WOP-2ac has 2 radio interfaces which are capable to operate simultaneously – Radio 1 and Radio 2. Each
interface is capable to operate on its frequency band in different wireless network modes. The example of
configuration of a network with the following characteristics is given below:
Radio1:
•Frequency range: 5 GHz;
•Standards: 802.11a/n/ac;
•Bandwidth: 80 MHz.
Radio2:
•Frequency range: 2.4 GHz;
•Standards: 802.11b/g/n;
•Bandwidth: 40 MHz.
In «Manage» menu, open «Wireless Settings» tab and perform the following:
•Country – select settings according to the rules of selected country. Select «Russia» in the list.
•Transmit Power Control – configuring Transmit Power Limit parameter restrictions. Select «On» in the list.
Configuring Radio 1:
•Radio Interface 2 – check «On» box;
•Mode – select value «IEEE 802.11a/n/ac».
•Click «Update».
Configuring Radio 2:
•Radio Interface – check «On» box;
•Mode – select value «IEEE 802.11b/g/n».
In «Manage» menu, open «Radio» tab and perform the following:

7 Virtual access points configuration
On each wireless interface, you may configure up to 16 virtual access points. Each access point may have
individual name of wireless network (SSID) and type of authentication/authorization. According to the network
scheme given in the figure 1, it is necessary to configure 2 virtual access points on Radio 1 and Radio 2.
Band Steer feature allows clients having opportunity of operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz to set priority of
connection to virtual access points operating at 5 GHz. The followings are necessary for Band Steer feature
operation:
•configure radio interfaces for different frequency ranges;
•create virtual access points (VAP) with the same SSID on each radio interface;
•make sure that the passwords on the access points are the same if you use encryption;
•activate Band Steer parameter on access points.
In «Manage» menu, open «VAP» tab and perform the following:
Configuring Radio 1:
•Radio – select value «1»;
•Enabled – check the boxes for VAP 0 and VAP1.
•VLANID – VLAN number:
•set value «100» for VAP 0;
•set value «1» for VAP 1;
•SSID – wireless network name:
•set value «WorkNetwork» for VAP 0;
•set value «FreeNetwork» for VAP 1;
•StationIsolation – forbid packet transmission among access point's clients. Check the box.
•Band Steer – set a priority of users connection to SSID configured at 5 GHz. Check the box.
•VLANPriority – the 2nd priority level which will be assigned to packets transmitted through the given VAP
from radio environment to wired network.
•Security – secure network mode:
•set «WPAPersonal» value for VAP 0 and set a password for this network connection in «Key» field;
•set value «None» for VAP 1.
Click «Update».
Configuration of Radio 2 is performed in the same way. Select «2» value in Radio and perform the configuration as
for the Radio 1 (given above). The password for «WorkNetwork» should be the same. Click «Update».
