Hardware Overview
1
RESET
With the device powered on, press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes quickly. Then
release the button. The device will restore to factory default settings.
Ethernet Port: ETH (PoE)
The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment),
such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable.
Note: For EAP770, if you use a CAT5E cable, the 10Gbps link of the Ethernet port is less than 55m. To achieve a longer transmission
distance, use a shielded CAT6A cable.
Power Port
Plug one end of the power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the
E A P.
Note: Power adapter is not included in the package contents of EAP653 and EAP613. For power supply specications, please refer to
the label at the bottom of the product.

• Method 1: Standalone Mode
To configure and manage EAPs separately (Convenient for a small network with only a few devices)
•Method 2: Controller Mode
To configure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely Omada Controller.
Note:
• Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
• A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses
to the EAPs and clients in your local network.

• Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
• A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to
the EAPs and clients in your local network.
• Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the router, switch, and EAPs) in
order to find, adopt, and manage them.
Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:
•Type 1: Omada Software Controller
On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller from
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/. Then run the file and
follow the wizard to install and launch the Omada Software Controller.
To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.
• Type 2: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no spare PC to
keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally.
For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.
• Remote Management
Note: Before you start, make sure that both your controller and mobile device can access the
internet.
• For Omada Software Controller
