Powering up
The AP is powered by PoE+.
To power up the access point:
1 Connect power using a PoE+ injector or switch (both sold separately).
The access point should now be up and running with its default settings. It does
not need to be configured to be functional. To make changes to the SSID and
security settings, access the AP using a web browser.

88
Logging in
To log in to the access point:
1 Connect the access point to your PoE+ switch or injector with an Ethernet cable.
2 Log in to your Pakedge router to find the IP address assigned to the access point
under the DHCP Client Table.
Tip: If you do not have a router in your network that distributes IP addresses, you
can try to access the access point through its default IP address of 192.168.1.21.
3 Enter that IP address into a web browser to open the access point interface. The
Sign In page opens.
Note: Because the AP uses self-signed certificates for secure connection to the
web browser, a security message will appear. There is no risk in proceeding to the
AP’s web interface, and communications will remain secure.
4 In the username box, type admin. In the password box, type password, then click
Sign In. The first time you log in, the Configure page opens.

99
5 Enter and verify a new username and password (required) before continuing, then
click Apply to complete the setup.
Caution: For international models, you must change the Country Code (a drop-down
list defaulting to GB - United Kingdom), to the specific country of operation.
Note: Refer to the user guide (
pkdge.co/wa2200-ug ) for detailed configuration
information.

Registering your device with BakPak Lite
You can connect your access point to your existing BakPak account or create a new
account to manage all of your BakPak network management agents.

by BakPak” message, click Click here to enroll.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your device registration.

Creating a BakPak site for WA-2200 Series APs
To begin managing and configuring the AP, you need to create a BakPak site for it.
To create a BakPak site:
1 Log in to your BakPak account, then click Add Site to create a site.
2 In the Management Agent list, select the first WA-2200-O, complete the site
information, then click OK.

1212
Adding WA-2200 Series APs to the site
After the BakPak site is created, the WA-2200-O will act as the “master AP” for adding
more WA-2200 Series APs to the site. For the full multi-AP deployment guide,
see pkdge.co/wa2200-multi .
To add APs and provision them with the existing configuration:
1 Make sure that the master AP is already configured (through the local UI or
BakPak), and that the additional APs are turned on for at least five minutes and
connected to your network.
2 In BakPak, select the new WA-2200-O site, then click Device Discovery.
Any additional WA-2200 Series APs are discovered and appear as tiles that can
be selected (already selected by default).

1313
3 Click OK. The APs are added to the site.
4 To apply the master AP’s settings to the new APs, in the BakPak site select the
master AP, then complete the site information and click Save & Apply Multiple at
the bottom. The settings are copied to the new APs.
