4How to connect
4.1 Power up
After applying the 24V adapter to the power supply socket and switching the device on, the
first LED blinks white. This means the system is booting.
Note: If the LED does not switch to green after some minutes or it turns red, please contact
your support team.
4.2 Accessing the web-browser
To access the web-browser connect the LAN connector directly to your computer or to the
LAN network which includes your computer.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.110. Please make sure that your PC has an IP address
and subnet mask that can access that IP address.
4.3 Login wizard
When you enter the web-browser for the first time you will be guided through a small wizard
for initial setup of the system.
4.4 Introduction
The WCAP has a built-in web server that allows you to set/monitor certain parameters
characterizing the wireless conference system.
The following is a step-by-step guide to give you a general idea of how to access your WCAP.
First time access
STEP 1 –PC IP setup
In order to access the built-in web server for the first time, the TCP IP settings from the PC
or MAC must be modified. A fixed IP address has to be set. Therefore follow the instructions
below.
Note:
The WCAP has a default fixed IP address and subnet mask:
IP: 192.168.1.110
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

10
-Go to the ‘ Control Panel’
-Click on Network and sharing center
-Click on Change adapter settings
-Right-click on Local Area Connection
-Double on Properties
-Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
-Click Properties
Static IP address WINDOWS 7
-Input your IP Address and subnet mask the IP addresses
on the network must be within the same range.
-The default IP address from the WCAP is 192.168.1.110
so the computer should have an IP Address that is within
the same subnet, like 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.20. The
subnet mask must be the same for all equipment on the
network: 255.255.255.0)
-Click OK

4How to connect
11
Assigning a fixed IP Address in WINDOWS 7
-Enter the IP Settings op the PC
-In this example the PC has normally “10.0.40.85” as IP
address.
-Click on Advanced and add a new IP address that is in the
range of the access point, for example 192.168.0.26 and
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
-Click to add
-Click OK
STEP 2 - Accessing WCAP
Open Internet Explorer or any other browser
(with the computer connected to the WCAP)
Enter 192.168.1.110 or wcap3.local into the Address Bar, press Enter
A wizard will guide you through the initial system setup:
-Choose your language
-Then you can choose to be notified when updates are available. This requires that the WCAP has
a connection to the internet.

12
-In the next item you have to fill in a hostname. This is a name which can be associated with the
device for easy recognition in the system. Also when you have multiple WCAPs running
simultaneously, you will be able to identify which frequencies are used by which hosts
-After you’ve completed the wizard you need to login. The default login and password are
Login: admin
Password: admin
4.5 Return to factory settings
If the ip address is not known then a return to factory settings (default ip address) is possible by
pressing the reset button next to the middle antenna , during 10 sec , and release the button .
Following screens will appear while pushing reset button and wait until the circle is completed

5.1 Compatibility
The webserver is compatible with various types of mobile and desktop devices
Remark: some security SW types installed on PCs may block the webservers functionality .

5.2 Navigating through the webserver
Click on either of the available icons and navigate through the menu b.m.o. the scrollbar
After entering a submenu , use the arrow to go back to the main menu
=> home button
=> unit monitoring menu
=> settings menu
=> initialization menu
=> delegate unit manager
=> security settings

16
=> frequency settings
=> conference options
=> Aux control
=> regional settings
=> network settings
=> login settings
=> update screen
=>message screen
=> system information
5.3 Changing IP address
First we will change the IP address of the system. To do this you have to go to the settings.
This can be done by clicking the settings icon.

5Web server
17
Then scroll all the way down until you see the following icon which indicates the
network settings.
In this menu you define:
-Hostname
-Address mode (Static –DHCP)
Static: in this mode the IP address and subnet mask is fixed and must be provided in the
appropriate fields.
DHCP: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is a protocol used by the WCAP
to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network automatically.
This protocol reduces system administration workload, allowing the WCAP to be added to the
network with little or no manual configuration.
There must be a DHCP server on the network that dynamically assigns IP addresses when using
the DHCP setting.
-IP address
Here you can enter the desired fixed IP address. Only applicable in fixed IP address mode.
-Subnet mask
-Gateway setting

18
We advise to change the IP address. This will prevent conflicts when multiple access points
with the same IP address are in the network.
5.4 Initialization
In stand-alone mode, the WCAP supports two kinds of access: open access and controlled
access.
-Open access: This is the default mode. Any unit can connect to the WCAP without
initialization procedure
-Controlled access: a unit can only connect after going through an initialization procedure.
5.4.1 Controlled Access
In this mode, a manual initialization is required.
The manual initialization procedure requires the use of the 3 buttons on the web server
displayed above: “Open init”, “Close init” and “Clear init”.
Take the following steps to initialize all units:
1) Switch on all wireless units
2) As long as no WCAP was discovered , the mic leds wil flash green slowly

5Web server
19
3) When the units have discovered the WCAP. This is indicated by both mic leds blinking
red slowly
4) Select the “Clear Init”, to clear any previously created initialization list.
5) Start the new initialization by selecting the “Open Init” button.
After you started the new initialization, the red Microphone Status LED’s on all wireless
units will start to blink red .
Mic leds blinking red at a rate of 2Hz is an indication that the units are trying to connect
to the Wcap
Mic leds blinking red at a rate of 1Hz is an indication that the units are waiting for the
initialization
6) To add a unit to the initialization list, press the microphone button of the unit to add.
7) The LEDs will turn green indicating that the unit has been added to the initialization list.
8) Repeat step 5 for each unit that needs to be added.
9) When finished, stop and save the initialization by pressing the “Close init” button,
Only the units that have been initialized will now be able to join the conference.
The init list is stored in the WCAP and stays in memory even after switching the WCAP off.
Next time the WCAP and delegate units are switched on, only these units will be allowed to
connect to the WCAP.
5.5 Unit Manager
The unit manager allows to:
-Define delegate names
-Define groups
As you can see there are two main parts, the left column is the list of delegates; the right
column is the list of groups. Each delegate shows an array of information, from left to right:

20
-Autonomy
-Version
-Serial number
-Packet loss (if any)
In rare cases it may appear that the delegates background is red, this means the delegate is
running a golden version. Although this works, we strongly advice to reapply the update so that
these units can be used to their full potential.
5.5.1 Define groups
A group is defined by two parameters:
-Group name
-Group color
You can make a new group by clicking on the “Add new group” button.
Add a group name and select (optionally) a group color. Press enter to save the group.
Editing the group can be done by right-clicking (or swiping) on the group entry. A small popup
appears to edit or remove the group.
5.5.2 Define delegate names and assign to group
Right-click (or swipe) on the delegate you want to group. A small popup appears, click on
edit.
