LAN
It is a 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation port used to transmit data or supply PoE
power for the AP using Ethernet cable. PoE devices complied with IEEE 802.3af
or IEEE 802.3at standard can supply power to the AP.
PWR It is a DC power jack used to connect to the included power adapter.

2. Install the AP
Tip:
You may need a rubber hammer, a marker, a hammer drill, a drill bit, a screwdriver, and a ladder for the installation. Please
prepare them yourself.
❶ Position the bracket onto the celling and mark screw holes on the celling with the marker.
❷ Drill holes in the marked positions using hammer drill.
❸ Knock the sleeve anchors into the holes using the rubber hammer.
❹ Align the screw holes with the holes in the ceiling, and then use the included screws to fix the bracket.
❺ Connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better) to the LAN port of the AP. If you choose to power on the AP by DC supply,
connect the PWR port of the AP using the power adapter included in the package.
❻ Insert the hooks of the AP into the slots of the bracket, and slide the AP to one side to make sure that the AP is fixed
well in the bracket.
3.Set Up Your WiFi Network
Note: PoE supply is used as an example in all the setup instructions below.
Scenario 1: Set up WiFi network without a management device for IP-COM AP
Tip:
Connect one AP to your PoE switch first. After configuring the AP, connect another AP, perform ❸,❹, and
on it, and so on.
❶ Connect devices
Connect your AP to a PoE port of the PoE switch using an Ethernet cable. Refer to the following figure for detailed
connection.
After finishing connection, ensure that the AP’s LED indicator blinks and the lower-right network icon on your computer

Uplink
❷Configure the IP address of your computer (Example: Win7)
Right-click the network icon on the lower-right corner of your computer. 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 192.168.0.x(x: 2 to 253. The IP address in this example is 192.168.0.10) and Subnet mask to
255.255.255.0, and click OK.
❸Log in to the web UI of the AP
Start a web browser on your computer, and enter the AP’s management IP address (192.168.0.254) in the address bar,
and press Enter. Then enter the user name and password (default: admin/admin) of the AP, and click Login.
Tip: If you cannot log in to the web UI of the AP, refer to Q1 in FAQ.
❹Set WiFi name and WiFi password for the AP
Click Quick Setup, then configure SSID (WiFi name), Security Mode (WPA2-PSK is recommended), Key, and click
Save.
Change the IP address of the APClick Network, LAN Setup. Change the IP address of the AP to 192.168.0.x(x: 2 to
253), and ensure that the new IP address has not been used in this network, then click Save. For example, you can
set the new IP address of the firstAP to 192.168.0.201, and the new IP address of the second AP to 192.168.0.202.
Wait a moment for the settings to take effect. Now you can access the internet by connecting your wireless devices to
the AP’s WiFi network.
WiFi name: The SSID you set in step .
WiFi password: The key you set in step .
Scenario 2: Set up WiFi network with an IP-COM AP Controller
❶ Connect devices
Use Ethernet cables to connect APs to the PoE ports of the switch, and your computer to the IP-COM AP Controller
(AC). Refer to the following figure for detailed connection.
❷ Configure APs
In order to configure your APs, start a web browser on your computer and log in to the web UI of the AC. Refer to your
AC’s user guide for detailed configuration instructions.

UPlink LAN WAN
Scenario 3: Set up WiFi network with an IP-COM router that can manage APs
❶ Connect devices
Use Ethernet cables to connect APs to the PoE ports of the switch, and your computer to the IP-COM router. Refer to
the following figure for detailed connection.
❷ Configure APs
In order to configure your APs, start a web browser on your computer and log in to the web UI of your router. Refer to
the router’s user guide for detailed configuration instructions.
FAQ
Q1: I cannot access the web UI of the AP after entering 192.168.0.254. What should I do?
A1: Try the following solutions and log in again:
Ensure that all your Ethernet cables are properly connected.
If there is no AC or IP-COM router in the network, ensure that the IP address of your computer has been set to
192.168.0.x(x: 2 to 253), and the IP address is not used by any other devices in the same network.
Clear the cache of your web browser or replace the web browser.
Disable the firewall of your computer or replace your computer.
If two or more APs are connected in the network without an AC / IP-COM router, you should leave only one AP in
the network first and set a new IP address 192.168.0.x (x: 2 to 253) for the AP. Then repeat this procedure to
change the IP addresses of the other APs. Meanwhile, make sure that the IP address of your computer is in the
same network segment with your APs’new IP addresses. Then try logging in to the web UI of your APs using their
new IP addresses.
If the AP has been managed by the AC or IP-COM router in the network, the AP’s IP address may be no longer
192.168.0.254. In that case, go to the web UI of the AC / router to view the new IP address of the AP, and then log
in to the AP’s web UI using the new IP address.
If the problem still persists, hold the RESET button down for 8 seconds to restore the AP to factory settings, and
then try logging in again.
Q2: My AP controller (AC) cannot find my AP. What should I do?
A2: Check the following items:
Ensure that all the devices in the network are connected well and the LED of theAP blinks.
If VLANs have been defined in your network, verify that the corresponding VLAN has been added to your AP
controller.
Reboot your AP.
Ensure that the firmware versions of your AP and AC are the latest firmware versions available on
www.ip-com.com.cn.
Reset your AP.
Method to reset: When the SYS indicator blinks, hold down the RESET button for about 8 seconds. The AP is
reset successfully when the SYS indicator gets solid on.
