1 Get to Know Your Device
1.1 Overview
IP-COM wireless in-wall access point (AP) W30AP V4.0 offers a wireless transmission rate of as high as 300
Mbps. It can be powered through IEEE 802.3af PoE and managed using its web UI or an IP-COM wireless
AC controller (or a router that includes the AP controller functionality). The in-wall design makes W30AP
V4.0 perfect for providing wireless network coverage in villas, large apartments, and hotels.

Reset Button
It is visible after the front cover of the AP is removed. After the AP is powered on, you can use a paper clip
to hold down this button for 8 seconds to restore the factory settings.
LED Indicator
LED Indicator
Blinking: The AP is working properly.
Off: The AP is not powered on, the indicator has been turned off, or the AP is faulty.
LAN1 Port
This port is located on the front panel of the AP and transmits data in 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation
mode. It is used to connect to a computer and switch and so on.
LAN0 Port
It is located on the back of the AP for supplying power to the AP through PoE and exchanging data in
10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation mode. Connect this port using an Ethernet cable to an IEEE 802.3af PoE
switch or PoE power supply equipment to supply power to the AP.
1.2.2 Label
It is visible after the front cover of the AP is removed. The following figure shows its position.
The label is described as follows:
(1): Default IP address of the AP. You can use this IP address to log in to the web UI of the AP.
(2): Default user name and password of the web UI of the AP.

2 Application Scenarios
2.1 Large Apartment or Villa
2.1.1 Deploying the AP with an IP-COM Router that Includes
the AP Controller Functionality
For a large apartment or villa, you are recommended to adopt the IP-COM wireless product suite, which
includes a wired router (such as M30), a PoE switch (such as F1109P), and 4 to 8 W30APs.Deploy one
W30AP in each room and place the router and switch in an electronic junction box. The following
describes the procedure.
1. Connect the devices.
Connect the WAN port of the router to the ADSL or optical modem. Connect a LAN port of the router to
the Uplink port of the PoE switch. Connect the LAN0 port of each AP to a PoE port of the switch using the
in-wall Category 5 UTP cable led into each EU-type electrical wall box used to mount the APs. See the
following figure.
2. Log in to the web UI of the router.

Connect a computer for configuring the AP to the LAN port of the router. Start a web browser, enter the
management IP address of the router (default: 192.168.0.252), and press Enter. Set your password on the
page that appears, and click Login to access the home page of the web UI.
3. Configure the AP.
Click AC Management > Wireless Settings to open the Wireless Settings module, and click Enable.
Change the SSID (WiFi name, such as IP-COM), set the Authentication Type as WPA2-PSK, enter the
wireless password (such as 12345678), and click to save the configuration.

Please wait. The AP will automatically obtain the wireless network name and password from the router.
For details about how to configure the AP on the router web UI, refer to the user guide for the router. The
user guide is available at http://www.ip-com.com.cn.
2.1.2 Deploying the AP with Another Brand’s Router
The following describes the procedure.
1. Connect the devices.
Connect one AP (such as AP1) to the PoE switch, as shown in the following topology. Change the IP
address of the AP to prevent IP address conflicts. Repeat this procedure to configure the other APs.
2. Set the IP Address of Your Computer (Example: Windows 7)
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to the PoE switch. Right-click the network icon in the
lower-right corner of the desktop of the computer, and click Open Network and Sharing Center, Local
Area Connection, and then Properties. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), select Use
the following IP address, set IP address to 192.168.10.X(X: 2 - 253) and Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0,
and click OK.

Enter. Enter the user name and password of the AP (default user name and password: admin) and click
Login.
4. Set AP1.
(1) To access the page, click Quick Setup. Select the check box of AP Mode, enter an SSID (wireless
network name, such as IP-COM), select WPA2-PSK from the dropdown list box of Security Mode ,
selectthe check box of AES as the Cipher Type, enter a security key (wireless network password,
such as 12345678), and click Save.

(2) Choose Network > LAN Setup, change the last network segment of the IP address to prevent IP
address conflicts with the later connected APs, such as 192.168.0.201, and click Save.
5. Set the other APs.
Connect another AP to the PoE switch, refer to Step 3 >Step 4. It uses the same SSID and security key
with but different IP address from AP1.Setting of the rest of APs can be done in the same manner.
For more description of settings, please see contents from Chapter 4.
