Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation WAP on DIN-Rail
Each WAP has a Din-Rail kit on rear panel. The Din-Rail kit helps WAP to fix on the Din-Rail. It is easy to install
the WAP on the Din-Rail:
Step 1: Slant the WAP and mount the metal spring to Din-Rail.
Metal Spring

5
Step 2: Push the WAP toward the Din-Rail until you heard a “click” sound.
2.2 Wall Mounting Installation
Each WAP has another installation method to fix the switch. A wall mount panel can be found in the package.
The following steps show how to mount the WAP on the wall:
Step 1: Remove Din-Rail kit.

6
Step 2: Use 6 screws that can be found in the package to combine the wall mount panel. Just like the picture shows
below:
The screws specification shows in the following two pictures. In order to prevent switches from any damage, the
screws should not larger than the size that used in WAP-5002/WAP-5002P.

Step 3: Click the sign of the UPnP equipment, then you will find the UPnP equipment in the network neighborhood.
Step 4: Right click the UPnP equipment to choose “Properties”, it will show as the following pictures:
Step 5: Right click the UPnP equipment or double click the UPnP equipment to transfer; it will go to the web page.
5.2 Configuration by Web Browser
This section introduces the configuration by Web browser.
5.2.1 About Web-based Management
Inside the CPU board of the access point, it contains an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. With its
advanced management features, it allows you to manage the WAP from anywhere on the network through a
standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce
network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed, and present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to explicitly modify the
browser setting in order to enable JavaApplets to use network ports.

Enter the IP address of Wireless WAP (Default IP address is 192.168.1.1) in the Internet Explorer and press Enter,
you will see as follows, enter your user name (admin) and your password (admin), then click OK to continue.
Login screen
For security reasons, we strongly suggest you change the password. Click on System ToolsÆAdministrator and
modify the password.

5.2.2 Basic Setting
5.2.2.1 Setting Operation Mode
Operation mode interface
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Label Description
Bridge This mode provides Static LAN-to-LAN Bridging functionality. The
static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported through Wireless
Distribution System (WDS).
AP This mode provides Access Point services for other wireless clients.
In either mode, the WAP-5002/WAP-5002P forwards packet between its Ethernet interface and wireless interface for
wired hosts on the Ethernet side, and wireless hosts on the wireless side.
5.2.2.2 Setting WDS
This type of wireless link is established between two IEEE 802.11 access points. Wireless packets transmitted along
the WDS link comply with the IEEE 802.11 WDS (Wireless Distribution System) format at the link layer.

17
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Label Description
WDS Mode A Wireless Distribution System is a system that enables the wireless
interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a
wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without
the need for a wired backbone to link them, as is traditionally required.
The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves
the MAC addresses of client packets across links between access
points.
This provides different options (restricted mode, repeater mode, bridge
mode). Select the appropriate mode as per your application needs.
Encryption Type Select the type of security for your wireless network
WDS Key Fill in the encryption key when Encryption Type is TKIP orAES.
Peer MAC
Address
Set the MAC address(es) of other access point(s). Click on the box to
“Enable” it.
First of all, if WAPs link with WDS mode, it should obey the following rules:
1. LAN IPAddress should set different IP in the same network.

18
2. All WAP’s DHCP Server should disabled.
3. WDS should set Enable.
4. Each WAP should have the same setting except ‘Peer MacAddress’set to the other’s Mac address
5. WEP Key and Channel should be the same, and each WAP’s SSID should be broadcast to see in the other’s
computer.
6. WAP’s distance should limit to a certain area.
WDS –Restricted Mode
The peer WDS WAPs are according to the MAC address listed in "Peer MacAddress" fields.
WDS –Bridge Mode
Same as Restrict mode in functionality and also one WDS link side can not set Peer Mac Address 1-4.

19
The working principle of Bridge Mode as follows:
In the figure, the WAP behaves as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links (links that connect to
other WAP/wireless bridges) and an Ethernet port. As a standard bridge, the WAP learns MAC addresses of up to 64
wireless or 128 total wired and wireless network devices, which are connected to their respective Ethernet ports to
limit the amount of data to be forwarded. Only data destined for stations which are known to reside on the peer
Ethernet link, multicast data or data with unknown destinations need to be forwarded to the peer WAP via the WDS
link.
WDS –Repeater Mode
Same as Restrict mode in functionality and also one WDS link side can be set Peer Mac Address 1-4.
