Chapter 1 Introduction The WAP-5940 is an 802.11ac 4T4R wireless video bridge, with two Giga Ethernet ports. WAP-5940 performs AP to transmission package TCP/UDP to client, also supporting station mode, receiving packets and forwarding to the Ethernet port. WAP-5940 has a high power wireless design which supports 802.11ac 5Ghz band 4T4R and is backward compatible 802.11n, 802.11a.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Hardware Setup Follow the instructions below to complete the hardware setup. BACK PANEL The figure below shows the back panel of the device.
Power ON Press the power button to the OFF position (OUT). Connect the power adapter to the power port. Attach the power adapter to a wall outlet or other AC source. Press the power button to the ON position (IN). If the Power LED displays as expected then the device is ready for setup (see section 2.2 LED Indicators). Caution 1: If the device fails to power up, or it malfunctions, first verify that the power cords are connected securely and then power it on again.
2.2 LED Indicators The front panel LED indicators are shown below and explained in the following table. This information can be used to check the status of the device and its connections.
2.3 Initial Device Setup Device Setup 1. Setup the first Wireless Video Bridge by plugging in the power adapter and press the Power Button to the ON position (IN). Set the Wireless Video Bridge to AP Mode by sliding the AP/Station Switch to the up position. 2. Connect the Wireless Video Bridge to a Network Device (Gateway, Router, etc.) with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. You can use either Ethernet ports of the Wireless Video Bridge to make this connection. 3.
4. After you select station mode thus two Ethernet ports (ETH1, ETH2) are LAN side.
Chapter 3 Web User Interface This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI) using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later). 3.1 Default Settings The factory default settings of this device are summarized below. • • • • LAN IP address AP: 10.0.0.2 LAN IP address STA: 10.0.0.10 LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.
3.2 IP Configuration STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 10.0.0.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.
3.3 Login Procedure Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface. NOTE: The default settings can be found in section 3.1 Default Settings. STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for the device in the Web address field. For example, if it is the AP device default IP is 10.0.0.2, type http://10.0.0.2 STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below. Enter the default username and password, as defined in section 3.1 Default Settings.
STEP 3: After successfully logging in for the first time (AP device in this example), you will reach the Status - Device screen AP (Access Point) shown here.
