bracket face away from the wall.
This unit must be installed indoors. The unit is not
designed for outdoor use.

C Use the supplied Torx key to tighten the captive screw thus securing the
access point to the bracket.
Step 5 – Apply Power to the Access Point
Power is supplied through the Ethernet Uplink cable through the black RJ-45
Uplink port at the rear of the access point:
•If using LAN3/PoE, ensure the Ethernet Uplink cable supplies IEEE
802.3at PoE (Power-over-Ethernet).
•Otherwise, ensure the Ethernet Uplink cable supplies IEEE 802.3af PoE
(Power-over-Ethernet).

Step 6 - Verify Connectivity
Verify that the K40 access point is connected to your network with either the
KodaCloud website or the KodaCloud mobile device app.
Check the Power LED to determine whether the access point is operating
correctly. The access point is properly installed and connected to the
KodaCloud management services when the LED turns solid green after a few
minutes.
When the access point is powered on, the Power LED should display the
following sequence:
#
Power LED
Description
1
Power LED Solid Orange and all
other LEDs on
(for less than 10 seconds)
Unit has just received power and
has started booting
2
Power LED Solid Orange and all
other LEDs off
(for less than a few minutes)
Unit is starting up.
3
Blinking Green
(for less than a minute)
Access point is negotiating a
connection with KodaCloud
management services in the cloud.
4
Solid Green
Access point is successfully setup
to be managed by KodaCloud
management services in the cloud.
Note 1: The very first time the Access Point is connected, it will self-update
so it will go through this sequence twice.
Note 2: See “Tips and Troubleshooting” if the access point does not reach
solid green.

Tips and Troubleshooting
If your access point Power LED light is flashing orange and all other LEDs
are off for over 10 minutes
The access point cannot connect to the KodaCloud management services. This
usually occurs when the unit cannot get an IP address from your network using
DHCP and has switched to Local Network Configuration mode.
While in this mode, the access point does not pass data through the Uplink
port and broadcasts an SSID that contains a portion of the access point’s MAC
address. You can use any Wi-Fi enabled device to connect to this SSID and
configure the network settings for this access point using a web browser.
To connect to the access point using the Local Network Configuration
interface:
1. Connect your Wi-Fi enabled device to the SSID in the form of “AP-
XX:XX:XX” (where X is a placeholder)). You are successfully
connected when the Power LED on the access point becomes solid
red.
2. Use your web browser to navigate to http://192.168.100.1 (login
using user: admin, password: admin).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

See the Support website (http://kodacloud.com/support) for information
about Local Network Configuration.
Note: Local Configuration mode only activates if the access point is in factory
default condition and has never connected to the KodaCloud management
services in the cloud.
Resetting to Factory Defaults
If the access point is disconnected from a power source, press and hold the
Reset button, and connect power to the unit. The Power LED turns solid
orange and the 5 GHz LED turns solid green. All other LEDs are off. This
pattern indicates the unit is restoring itself to factory defaults.
OR
If the access point is connected to a power source, press and hold the Reset
button until the Power LED turns solid orange, the 5 GHz LED turns solid green,
and all other LEDs are off. Once the LEDs show this pattern, release the Reset
button. This action restores the unit to the factory default settings.
