1Introduction and Scope
Our AP Series of enterprise-grade 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access points is engineered to
provide fast, dependable, and flexible operation in a variety of environments, all
controlled by an easy-to-use centralized management system. From the small but
powerful AP One AC mini to the top-of-the-line AP One 300M our AP Series offers
wireless networking solutions to suit any business need, and every access point is
loaded with essential features such as multiple SSIDs, VLAN, WDS, and Guest Protect.
A single access point provides as many as 32 virtual access points (16 on single-radio
models), each with its own security policy (WPA, WPA2, etc.) and authentication
mechanism (802.1x, open, captive portal, etc.), allowing faster, easier, and more cost-
effective network builds. Each member of the AP Series family also features a high-
powered Wi-Fi transmitter that greatly enhances coverage and performance while
reducing equipment costs and maintenance.

4Installation
Your access point acts as a bridge between wireless and wired Ethernet interfaces. A
typical setup follows:

4.1 Installation Procedures
1. Connect the Ethernet port on the unit to the backbone network using an
Ethernet cable. The port should auto sense whether the cable is straight-
through or crossover.
2. Connect the power adapter to the power connector of the unit. Plug the power
adapter into a power source.
3. Wait for the status LED to turn green.
4. Connect a PC to the backbone network. Configure the IP address of the PC
to be any IP address between 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.254, with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0.
5. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or above, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above, or
Google Chrome 2.0 or above, connect to https://192.168.0.3.
6. Enter the default admin login ID and password, admin and public
respectively.
7. After logging in, the Dashboard appears. Click the System tab to begin
setting up your access point.
