INTRODUCTION
This document will guide you through the process of setting up and registering an Access Point (AP) and
establishing a WLAN in version 1.2.0 of the Relay2Cloud Wireless Manager. Detailed information on
these and other advanced features can be found in Relay2’s WLAN System Test Manual, version 1.2.0-
20130915.
BEFORE YOU START
The Relay2 Access Point cannot function as a standalone unit. Before connecting your AP to a network,
make sure to check the following:
Acquire a Relay2 account from your Service Provider if you have not do so; provide your name,
company e-mail address, phone number, and a username in the form of an e-mail address for
account creation.
The Relay2 Cloud Wireless Manager is accessed through a variety of web browsers, including
Internet Explorer 9 and 10, Google Chrome 26 and above, Mozilla Firefox 6 and above, Safari 5
and above and Opera.
The Relay2 AP must be connected to a network that can reach the Internet. If your network has
a firewall that blocks outbound traffic to the Internet, make sure to configure your firewall to
allow at least HTTP and HTTPS ports.
The AP’s management network interface will automatically obtain an IP address from the DHCP
server by default.If your network requires the use of static IP address, refer to section 5 for
details on how to configure your Relay2 AP accordingly.

1.4. Your Access Point Hardware Features
a. Power can be supplied either through a 48VDC adaptor, or an IEEE 802.3at PoE+
(PoE plus) Switch port that can supply up to 25W power over Ethernet cable
inserted into the RJ45 port (B7). We recommend using the PoE+ for better
management.
b. If you do not have a PoE+ Switch, you can use the power adaptor that comes with
the AP. The AP’s power cable can be inserted into the DC port (B6).
c. The Ethernet cable is better to use CAT5 or CAT6 class cable, which can be inserted
into the RJ45 port (B7).
d. The Relay2 AP also features a serial port (B8), a USB port (B9), and an optional SIM
card port (B10).
e. Once the AP is receiving power, it will initiate an LCD/LED startup sequence.
f. In the LED startup sequence, all three LED lights—Status (A2), Radio (A3), and
Ethernet (A4)—should blink green and then turn solid green.
g. The AP’s power and Ethernet cables can be trunked into the grooves beneath their
respective ports, as shown below:

2. AP Boot UP
Relay2 AP first time boot up will take about 5 – 10 minutes depending on the software version number
installed on the AP that you receive. Longer time will be needed if AP detects there is new software
version and download the new software image to update the AP. You can view the LCD screen provided
in the AP to tell the current AP status:
1. Welcome to R2OS
2. Bootup
3. Registered (found Cloud Controller and registered with Cloud Controller)
4. Connect – Connecting to Cloud Controller
5. Download – Found new AP SW image and is downloading and will reboot after image update
6. Radio 1&2 UP – The state that AP has successfully connected to Cloud Controller
3. Logging in
a. Log in with your provided Super-User account at [www.relay2.net.cn].
