Chapter 2 Installation
Note
Please read the safety notices carefully before installing and starting up your device. These are sup-
plied together with the device.
Refer to chapter Technical data on page 14.
2.1 Setting up and connecting
Note
The device can be fitted with various antenna systems. External, screw-on standard antennas can be
used (optional).
Fig. 1: APR222ac - Connection options
When setting up and connecting the device, carry out the following steps in order:
(1) Antennas
Connect the antenna connectors to the antennas to be used with the device.
(2) Installation
Thanks to the brackets in the housing, the access points can be fitted to the wall or ceiling.
Wall-/Ceiling mounting
To attach the device to the wall/ceiling, the mounting brackets may be readily attached to the housing. They
are screwed to the wall/ceiling with six screws.
Warning
Before drilling, make sure that there are no building installations nearby. If gas, electricity, water or
waste water lines are damaged, you may endanger your life or damage property.
• Screw the mount to the wall with the 6 screws.

• Make sure the device connections are accessible.
Fig. 2: Wall/Ceiling mounting
(3) Protective Earth connection
Protective Earth: In case of error, a terminal can be connected to an external protective conductor to avoid
electric shocks.
A protective earth cable with a minimum cross-section of 2.5mm2and a copper-tinned ring type crimp cable
lug (e.g. DIN 46235 or DIN 46234) must be fastened to the rear of the housing (using the M4 bolt close to the
IEC 417 Protective Earth Symbol). After installation, check for low ohmic connection between the housing and
the protective earth connection.
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never unplug the ground conductor or operate the equipment
in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspec-
tion authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. When in-
stalling or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
(4) LAN
For the standard configuration of your device via Ethernet, connect port LAN1 or LAN2 to your LAN using an
Ethernet cable. The device automatically detects whether it is connected to a switch or directly to a PC.
Use just one of the ports (LAN1 or LAN2). The second port is used to cascade a number of devices. If you
use both Ethernet connections on the same switch, loops may form.
(5) Power connection
The APR222ac is powered by a 110 V or 24 V nominal DC power source, depending on the model.
Teldat SA 2 Installation
APR222ac 3

Note
Please verify device power input is valid for your power feeding.
There is no on/off switch or fuse. A label on the rear of the equipment contains the power supply information.
Connect the device to a mains socket.
Use a power cord that matches the type of connector on your device and insert it in the appropriate socket.
Now plug the power cord into a power socket. The power LED signals that your device is correctly connected
to the power supply.
Warning
This equipment requires an external overcurrent protection device. To comply with safety regula-
tions, either a 5.0 A time-lag fuse or a previously approved 1-amp thermo-magnetic circuit breaker
(ABB-S281-UC-K-1 or equivalent) must be installed in the power line.
Observe the correct polarity of the DC connection, wrong polarity may destroy the external line fuse.
The device is now ready for configuration.
2.2 Anticorrosion measures to protect the metal parts of the device
during transportation, storing or at its final location
As far as the metal housing is concerned, the APR222ac was designed to be placed in an enclosed location, protec-
ted from bad weather; never to be exposed or subject to these or any other extreme environmental conditions.
The housing is made out of electrogalvanized iron and has an external powder paint coating based on epoxy and
polyester resins, added for aesthetic and anti-corrosion purposes. These characteristics give the housing the ability
to withstand the effects of external corrosive agents (oxidation) to which the device might be exposed during trans-
portation, storage or at its final location. As previously mentioned, these locations must always be indoors, sheltered,
and not exposed to extreme environmental or meteorological conditions.
External paint's resistance to corrosion.
Humidity cabinet DIN 50017 No change after 500 hours
Salt fog chamber ASTM B117-97 500 hours
However, there are various considerations and measures that need to be taken into account during the transporta-
tion, storage and final deployment of devices to prevent the metal parts from rusting.
• Devices should be stored indoors or in places that are dry, clean and away
from chemicals.
• Do not subject the devices to sudden rapid changes in temperature that could
lead to condensation (which, in turn, will cause the metal parts in the devices
to rust). Try to maintain the devices at a temperature as constant as possible.
• During transportation and storage, place the device on a wooden or plastic
pallet in order to avoid direct contact with the ground.
Never store the device outdoors. If this is unavoidable, take the following steps and make sure the situation lasts as
little as possible.
• Protect the devices with a waterproof cover (made out of plastic, canvas or a
similar material).
• Try to leave some space between the devices and the waterproof cover to al-
low some air circulation.
• Keep the devices on wooden or plastic pallets and never in direct contact with
the ground. Try to set the pallet at a slight angle to allow any water that might
occasionally collect on the waterproof cover to drain off.
2 Installation Teldat SA
4APR222ac

• Check the storage area regularly to make sure there is no moisture or con-
densation build-up on or around the stored devices.
As mentioned above, keep the device outdoors for as short a period as possible, especially in seasons with extreme
temperatures that can accelerate the oxidization of metal parts.
2.3 Cleaning
You can clean your device easily. Use a damp or anti-static cloth. Do not use solvents. Never use a dry cloth since
the electrostatic charge could cause electronic failure. Make sure that no moisture can enter the device and cause
damage.
2.4 Support information
Teldat, S.A. offers a technical support service. The device software can be regularly updated for maintenance pur-
poses and to add new features.

Chapter 3 Basic configuration
To configure the basic settings in your device, use Dime Manager (IP address assignment) and GUI (other configur-
ation steps).
A step-by-step explanation is included below. A detailed online help system gives you extra support.
This user guide assumes you have the following:
• Basic knowledge regarding network structures.
• Knowledge of basic network terminology, such as server, client and IP address.
• Basic knowledge on how to use Microsoft Windows operating systems.
3.1 Presettings
3.1.1 Preconfigured data
There are three ways in which you can access the device to perform configuration tasks:
(a) Dynamic IP address
In ex works state, your device is set to DHCP client mode. This means that, when connected to your network, an
IP address will automatically be assigned whenever a DHCP server is run. You may use this IP address
(assigned by the DHCP server) to access your device for configuration purposes. For information on how to de-
termine the dynamically assigned IP address, please see your DHCP server documentation.
(b) Fallback IP address
If you do not run a DHCP server, you can connect your device directly to your configuration PC and access it us-
ing the following fallback IP configuration (already predefined):
•IP Address:192.168.0.252
•Netmask:255.255.255.0
Make sure that the PC has a suitable IP configuration (see Configuring a PC on page 8).
(c) Assigning a fixed IP address
You can use Dime Manager to assign a new IP address and the required password to your device.
Note
Please note:
If, to set the basic configuration, your device has obtained a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server,
the fallback IP address (192.168.0.252) will be automatically deleted.
On the other hand, if you set up a device connection over the fallback IP address (192.168.0.252) or
use Dime Manager to assign an IP address, you will only be able to access your device over this IP
address. This means that the device will no longer obtain a dynamic IP configuration over DHCP.
Use the following access data to configure your device in an ex works state:
•User Name:admin
•Password:admin
3 Basic configuration Teldat SA
6APR222ac

Note
All Teldat devices are delivered with the same username and password. This means they are not pro-
tected against unauthorized use as long as the password remains unchanged. Make sure you change
said password to stop your device from being unduly accessed!
Section Modify system password on page 10 describes how to change your password.
3.1.2 Software update
Your device contains the system software version that was available at the time of production. Since then, more re-
cent versions may have been released. You can easily update your device using GUI through the Maintenance-
>Software &Configuration menu.

• TCP/IP protocol installed (see Configuring a PC on page 8).
3.3 Preparation
To get ready for configuration, you need to...
• Obtain the data required for the basic configuration.
• Check whether the PC you need to use for configuration purposes meets the necessary requirements.
• Install the Dime Manager software, which gives you more tools to work with your device.
3.3.1 Gathering data
The main data for the basic configuration can be gathered quickly, as no information is required that needs in-depth
network knowledge. If applicable, you can use the example values.
Before starting the configuration process, you should gather data for the following purposes:
• IP configuration (mandatory if your device is in the ex works state).
• Configuration of a wireless network connection in Access Point mode (optional).
The following table gives examples of possible values for the necessary data. You can enter your personal data in
the "Your values" column, for future consideration.
If you configure a new network, you can use the values for IP addresses and netmasks that appear in the example.
When in doubt, ask your system administrator.
Basic configuration
To configure basic settings in your gateway, you need information on your network environment:
IP configuration of the access point
Access data Example value Your values
IP address of your access point 192.168.0.252
