I. Introduction
Your On-Q Home Wireless Access Point (WAP) uses a radio transmission technology defined by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) called 802.11 or Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). This standard is subdivided
into distinct categories of speed and the frequency spectrum used, designated by the lower case letter after the
standard. Your On-Q Home WAP supports both the 802.11b and 802.11g specifications.
The 802.11b specification transmits data rates up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification transmits data rates up
to 54 Mbps. These are theoretical speeds so your performance may vary. The radio waves radiate out in a donut-
shaped pattern. The waves travel through walls and floors, but transmission power and distance are affected.
Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz range, meaning other electrical appliances also might interfere with the WAP.
Televisions, radios, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones are examples of devices that might interfere
with the WAP. Thus, positioning your WAP where it encounters the least interference gains the greatest benefit to
maintaining a quality connection. Typically, the best performance can be expected by positioning it in the ceiling at a
central location on the top floor of the home.
Recommended Wireless Environment
The following information helps you to achieve the best wireless performance:
•Placing your base station in the physical center of your network is the premium location because the antenna
radiates out the signal in all directions.
•Placing the unit in a higher location helps to disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations on upper
stories.
•Direct line of sight achieves better performance, but obviously is not always achievable.
•Try to avoid placing the unit next to large solid or dense objects like walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the signal
penetrate more cleanly.
•Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the
signal. Keep devices away from the unit.
•Mirrors, especially silver-coated, negatively affect transmission performance.
Your On-Q WAP is powered over the single CAT5e cable that connects it to the service provider using a technology
called Power Over Ethernet (POE). A power supply inserts power onto the CAT5e cable through an inserter module,
and then this power is extracted for use at the WAP location. In this way, unsightly power cables are avoided at the
WAP location.

CAT5e to POE
2. Connection Area Detailed Description
Power Receptacle – Five volt DC power is extracted from the POE Extractor Module in the WAP
Assembly (the 5VDC is derived from the 48VDC fed to the WAP Assembly over the single CAT5e from
the POE Inserter Module in the Enclosure).
LAN Port – Ethernet data is extracted from the POE Extractor Module in the WAP Assembly. The LAN
port supports either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T transmission speeds as well as straight-through and
crossover Ethernet cables (the Ethernet data is derived from the single CAT5e fed to the WAP Assembly
from the POE Inserter Module in the Enclosure).
Reset Button - A dual-function button. A brief button press resets the WAP unit, while a longer button
press resets the WAP unit to the default login settings. If the WAP is experiencing trouble connecting to
the Internet, briefly press and release the Reset button to reset the WAP. The WAP will retain its
configuration information during this reset operation. To reset the unit to the factory defaults, while the
unit is powered, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. This clears the WAP’s user
settings, including User ID, Password, IP Address, and Subnet Mask.
NOTE: Refer to the Section IV Initial Configuration Steps for re-configuring the WAP.
Antenna Connection – Cable connects to the On-Q WAP antenna used for wireless connections.
NOTE: When initially removed from the box, a stub antenna will be connected to this connector. For better
coverage, it should be removed and replaced by the On-Q WAP antenna cable.

III. Installation
The On-Q Home Wireless Access Point is best installed during new construction in two steps; at “rough-in” after
the Electricians are done, but prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the drywall is installed and
painted. These steps are detailed below:
A. “Rough-in” steps:
1. A single CAT5e should be run in the walls from the location in the home where the On-Q Home
Wireless Access Point (WAP) will be installed to the location where the POE Inserter Module will be
located (leave extra cable at both ends).
NOTE: The preferred location for the WAP is in the ceiling of the top floor, centrally located in the
home (see Figure 5). If multiple WAPs are used, they should be located centrally, in overlapping areas.
NOTE: Although the On-Q Home Wireless Access Point (WAP) may be installed in ceilings or walls, it
requires a minimum of 5” of mounted depth. This means that the WAP cannot be installed in 2x4 walls.
2. (Optional Step for New Construction) At the selected WAP location, the On-Q Home Wireless Access Point
Pre-Construction Bracket, is installed with two screws from the floor side across the exposed ceiling studs
(for more detail, refer to IS-0269).
3. (Optional Step for New Construction) The CAT5e can be coiled around the top of the bracket, to be pulled
through after the sheetrock is installed. There are clips on the top of the bracket to tie off the CAT5e cable
(for more detail, refer to IS-0269).

Innovations in Home Living.
B. “Trim-out” steps:
1. The WAP mounting ring should be installed first, using a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the four
mounting tabs against the drywall or optional Pre-Construction Bracket (see Figure 6).
2. The CAT5e that was tied off at the bracket should then be pulled through the hole in the bracket and
terminated with an EZ RJ45 plug (P/N 364554-01).
NOTE: Use proper tools and standard TIA 568A rules to prep and terminate the CAT5e cable, such as the
On-Q Home CAT5 Cable Stripper (P/N 363292-01) and the On-Q Home EZ RJ45 Crimp Tool (P/N
364555-01).
3. The On-Q Home Wireless Access Point (WAP) is shipped with an attached stub antenna. For better
coverage in the typical residential installation, remove the stub antenna and connect the coaxial cable from
the included On-Q Home antenna (see Figure 7).

4. Next, connect the EZ RJ45 terminated CAT5e cable to the WAP Assembly.
5. To physically install the WAP Assembly, push the unit through the mounting ring until the
Mounting Ring Clasps snap into place (see Figure 8).
6. Then install the center cover, making sure the tabs in the cover line up with the holes on the WAP
Assembly. This will insure that the light pipes from the status lights on the WAP are properly aligned
(see Figure 9).

7. In the structured wiring enclosure (see Figure 10) the CAT5e from the WAP can be terminated at a
Network Interface Module (P/N 363486-01) or with an EZ RJ45 plug (P/N 364554-01) which is then
connected directly to the output of the Power over Ethernet (POE) Inserter Module.
8. A supplied CAT5e patch cable is then connected from the input RJ-45 jack of the Power over Ethernet
Module to one of the LAN ports on the On-Q Home or third party Router, or directly to a Broadband
Modem.
9. The Power over Ethernet Inserter Module is powered with a 48 Volt DC power supply which needs to be
plugged in to an AC source.
10. When the 48 VDC Power Supply is plugged in to an active AC Source, verify that the Power LED is lit on
the POE.
11. Next, verify that the Power LED is lit on the WAP.
12. If you connected to an active network, verify that the Network Activity LED is lit on the network
access device and on the WAP.
13. Then, verify the Wireless LED is lit on the WAP.

IV. Initial Configuration Steps
The On-Q Home WAP is typically configured in one of two ways; (1) From a portable PC connected through the “Data
In” port of the POE Inserter Module in the enclosure which is then connected through its “Data/Power Out” port to a
CAT5e cable to the WAP, or (2) From a PC in one of the rooms of the house, connected through an outlet in the room
to the enclosure where it is patched to the “Data In” port of the POE Inserter Module in the enclosure which is then
connected through its “Data/Power Out” port to a CAT5e cable to the WAP (see Figure 11). In either case, the PC must
have an Ethernet Network Interface Card to communicate with the WAP.
NOTE: The On-Q Home WAP can also be configured from a PC containing a Wireless Network Interface Card
(Motorola WPCI810G wireless PCI card for your desktop PC, or Motorola WN825G wireless PCMCIA card for
your laptop PC), but this is not recommended because it is not secure until you have configured security levels on the
WAP. To connect the PC to the WAP through a wireless connection, ensure the PC.s wireless adapter SSID (Service
Set Identifier) is set to the WAP’s default setting of “motorola” appended with the last 3 characters of the Wireless
MAC address (an example SSID: motorola345) and that no encryption is enabled.
NOTE: Before configuring the On-Q Home WAP, you must first temporarily configure your computer (with
installed Ethernet Network Interface Card) to talk to the WAP. The WAP comes configured to a specific IP
subnetwork (192.168.40.xxx) and its default IP address in that subnetwork is 192.168.40.1, so your PC’s Ethernet
Card must be assigned an IP address, (like 192.168.40.10), on that same subnetwork to talk to and configure the
WAP. Giving the PC a specific IP address is also called assigning it a Static IP address, as compared to a Dynamic IP
address that is typically assigned by a service provider through a process called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP).
NOTE: Before doing any PC IP Address re-configuration, make sure you first write down all of the current IP
settings.
NOTE: After initially configuring the WAP, using that Static IP Address that you assign, you may need to return the
PC’s IP Address setting to be dynamically assigned by DHCP, if that is what the service provider requires. If you are
using a router, you will also want to change your WAP’s IP address and Gateway settings to be compatible with the
router. These steps are covered at the end of this section.

D. Configuring the WAP to work with a Router
If you are connected to the Internet through a Router, you will want to change the IP Address of the WAP to
also be a member of the Router’s subnetwork. This will allow you to access the WAP at a future date, if you
need to re-configure its security or login settings.
1. Navigate to the Control Panel > Network Access Screen (see Figure 20).
2. Enter 192.168.1.xxx (example subnetwork for the router) into the IP Address field. Use an address (like
100) that is higher than the number of PCs you are likely to attach to this router.
3. Enter 255.255.255.0 into the Subnet Mask field.
4. Enter 192.168.1.254 into the Gateway IP field and click Apply.
5. To verify that you can access the WAP at its new IP address, run the Ping command (ping 192.168.1.100)
from any router attached PC.
E. Returning the PC used to configure the WAP to DHCP control
1. Click Start.
2. Select Control Panel.
(For Windows 98SE, ME and 2000, select Settings first)
3. Double-click Network and Dial-Up Connections.
(Double Click Network for Windows 98SE and ME and the Network Window is displayed)
4. Double-click Local Area Connection. The Local Area Connection Status window appears (see Figure 21).
(Step 5 is not applicable for Windows 98SE or ME)
