Chapter 3. Installation
3.1 Mounting Options
The following types of surfaces that is suitable to mount WNAP-C3220:
Ceiling
Solid surface wall
Tabletop
If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the
access point (white cover) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas
transmit through the top of the access point but not through the bottom (where the
bracket is).
3.2 Ceiling or Wall Installation
Step 1. Remove the mounting bracket from the WNAP-C3220.
Step 2. Attach the bracket to the wall or ceiling.
Step 3. Mark each point in the bracket for the screws.
Step 4. Remove the bracket to drill the points and insert the plastic wall-mounts.
Step 5. Use screws to lock the bracket by a screw driver, shown in Figure 4.

Chapter 4. Configuring the AP
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless AP.
A
computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless Router is
required for the first-time configuration.
4.1 System Requirements
PCs with a working EthernetAdapter and an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors
PC of subscribers running Windows 98/ME, NT4.0, 2000/XP, Windows Vista / Win 7, MAC
OS 9 or later, Linux, UNIX or other platform compatible with TCP/IP protocols
Above PC installed with WEB Browser
It is recommended to use Internet Explore 7.0 or above to access the Router.
4.2 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WNAP-C3220 is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values
for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the AP. And then you can configure the IP address for your
PC.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows
XP. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if
needed.

Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
1 Select Use the following IP address radio button.
2 If the AP's LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, enter IP address 192.168.1.x (x is from 2 to 254), and
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Figure 9 Manually assign IP to PC
Now click OK to save your settings.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the AP. The following example is in Windows XP OS. Please follow the steps
below:
