Indoor Stand-Alone Access Point
SunSpot™ AC1200 and SunSpot™ N300
The SunSpot N300 and the SunSpot AC1200 are single- and dual-band concurrent
access points (AP’s) respectively. The units are designed to be operated either
laying on a desk or mounted on a wall or ceiling. The box includes a mounting plate
for attaching the AP to the ceiling. The access point can be powered either by the
universal power supply included in the box or through an Ethernet cable
connection from an optional PoE switch.
The Indoor Stand-Alone Access Points include these models:
◆SS-AC1200 — dual-band w/integrated 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas
◆SS-N300 — single-band w/integrated 2.4 GHz antenna
Note: For Safety and Regulatory information, refer to the Safety and Regulatory
Information document included with the AP.

Quick Start Guide
Follow the steps in this guide to install the AP in your network.
Caution: The planning and installation of the AP requires professional personnel
that are trained in the installation of radio transmitting equipment. The user is
responsible for compliance with local regulations concerning items such as
antenna power for instance. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional
contractor knowledgeable in local radio regulations prior to equipment
installation.
1. Unpack the AP Unpack the AP and check the package contents.

Quick Start Guide
Mounting the AP on a wall
Mount the unit on a wall using the provided screws.
Mounting the AP on the ceiling
If the room is equipped with a suspended ceiling, the mounting plate provided in
the box can be used to attach the AP to the metal grid of the ceiling.
Wall Mounting
Drill holes in the wall at an horizontal distance of
116 mm from each other. This distance
corresponds to the distance between the
mounting holes on the back of the AP.
Use the screw plugs and screws provided in the
box of the AP or verify that the size of the head of
the screws is small enough to fit through the
mounting holes (< 7 mm).
Screw the screws in the wall until they stick out
just enough to enter the mounting holes.
Adjust the AP on the screws and then down in its
final position.

Quick Start Guide
The ceiling mounting plate supports two different kinds of ceiling bars. The
position illustrated above is for 15 mm bars. Use the other position at a 90 degrees
angle for 24.5 mm bars.
3. Connect Cables Connect Ethernet cable to the 1000BASE-T (PoE) port on the unit.
4. Connect Power The AP can be powered either by the power supply provided in the box or by an
optional 802.3af/at PoE switch.
Powering the AP with a power supply
Connect Category 5e or better cable to the
leftmost RJ-45 port.
This 1000BASE-T (PoE) port is named ETH0.
Connect the other end of this cable to a
LAN switch.
(Optional) Connect local LAN devices to
any of the other RJ-45 ports of the
connector panel using Category 5 or better
cable.
These 100BASE-T ports are named ETH1
and ETH2.

Quick Start Guide
Powering the AP with a PoE switch (optional)
Simply connect the Ethernet cable from the ETH0 port of the AP to a PoE port on a
802.3af/at compliant switch. Make sure that this switch is connected to the LAN.
Note : Connecting the Ethernet cable from the AP to the injector module powers
on the unit.
5. Verify AP Operation Verify basic AP operation by checking the system LEDs.
the ETH0 port LED on/blinking green, and the 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless LED on/
blinking green (2.4 GHz) or blue (5 GHz).

6. Connect to the Web
User Interface
The stand-alone APs offer a web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features.
You can make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to the AP’s
ETH1 RJ-45 port. The AP has a default management IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address to be on the same
subnet as the AP (that is, the PC and AP addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
Log in to the web interface using the default
settings:
◆Login Name — root
◆Password — admin123
For more information on stand-alone AP
configuration using the web interface, refer
to the User Guide.
