Make sure your existing network is using a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to the access
points. By default, TRENDnet access points listed below will obtain an IP address automatically
through DHCP or otherwise default back to 192.168.10.100 / 255.255.255.0 if a DHCP server is
not available on your network. Each access point must be assigned a unique IP address on the
same network. The wireless controller and access points must be connected to the same IP
subnet on your network (e.g. 192.168.10.x / 255.255.255.0).

3. Connect your wireless access points
Important Note: Please make sure your access points have met the requirements in Section 1.
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect each wireless access point to the wireless controller or your
network.
Note: If powering the access points using their power adapters, you can connect the access
points directly to your network or the wireless controller. If powering the access point using
power over Ethernet (PoE), you can connect your access points to your network or to the
wireless controller using a separate PoE injector (not included) or PoE/PoE+ switch (not
included).
