Powering up
The AP can be powered by either PoE or the optional AC power adapter (sold
separately).
To power up the access point:
1 Connect power using a POE injector or POE switch, or with the optional AC
power adapter (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, you need to access the AP using a web browser.

66
Logging in to the access point
To log in to the access point:
1 Connect the access point to your PoE switch 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.

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.
6 Click OK. The APs are added to the site.
