3. Installation VigorAP can be installed under certain locations: wooden ceiling, plasterboard ceilings, light-weighted steel frame and wall. 3.1 Ceiling-mount Installation (Wooden Ceiling) 1. Place the bracket under the wooden ceiling and fasten two screws firmly (as shown in Figure below, Step 1). 2. When the bracket is in place, fasten two screws firmly (as shown in Figure below, Step 2) on the bottom of VigorAP. 3. Make the device just below the bracket.
3.2 Ceiling-mount Installation (Plasterboard Ceiling) 1. Place the bracket under the plasterboard ceiling and fasten two turnbuckles firmly (as shown in Figure below, Step 1). 2. Make the screws pass through the bracket and insert into the turnbuckles (as shown in Figure below, Step 2). Fasten them to offer more powerful supporting force. 3. When the bracket is in place, fasten two screws firmly (as shown in Figure below, Step 3) on the bottom of VigorAP. 4. Make the device just below the bracket.
3.3 Suspended Ceiling (Lightweight Steel Frame) Installation You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid („T-Rail‟) of your suspended ceiling. 1. Choose one set of T-Rail mounting kits from the bundled package. 2. Put the T-Rail brackets on the holes of the bottom side of the device. Fasten them with suitable screws. T-Rail Bracket T-Rail Bracket 3.
4. Note Attach the T-Rail brackets to the ceiling frame. Warning: The screw set shown below is for wall mounting only. Do not use such set for ceiling mounting due to the danger of falling.
3.4 Wall-Mounted Installation For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside. You can fit the AP at any axis (i.e. 12, 3, 6 or 9 O‟Clock) to allow for cable entry from the most convenient location if you are using side entry – note the position of the side entry cable cutout. 1. A template is provided on the VigorAP‟s packaging box to enable you to space the screws correctly on the wall. 2.
4. Connection and Configuration 4.1 Notifications for Hardware Connection If required, remove the protective cap of VigorAP to create extra space for the cables to pass through. Connect VigorAP to Vigor router (via LAN port) with Ethernet cable. Connect VigorAP to PoE switch (via LAN port) with Ethernet cable. For connecting with PoE switch, do not connect the power adapter. VigorAP will get the power from the switch directly.
4.2 Connect to a Vigor Router using AP Management Your VigorAP can be used with Vigor routers which support AP management (such as the Vigor2862 or Vigor2926 series). AP Management enables you to monitor and manage multiple DrayTek APs from a single interface. 1. Connect one end of the power adapter to power port of VigorAP, and the other side into a wall outlet. 2. Access into the web user interface of Vigor router. Here we take Vigor2862 as an example. Open Central Management>>AP>>Status. 3.
4.3 Web Configurations This section will guide you to install the AP and make configuration for VigorAP. Connected As a Mesh Node (in Mesh Network) Install VigorAP on to the ceiling. As a mesh node, settings related to VigorAP 912C must be configured by a remote Mesh Root (e.g., VigorAP 903) within the mesh network. The user must detect VigorAP 912C via a Mesh Root to add it as a mesh node.
There are two methods to configure VigorAP. Method 1: (a) First, open a web browser on your PC and type https://192.168.1.2. A pop-up window will open to ask for username and password. Note You may either simply set up your computer to get IP dynamically from the router or set up the IP address of the computer to be in the same subnet as the IP address of VigorAP 912C. If there is no DHCP server on the network, then VigorAP 912C will have an IP address of 192.168.1.2.
(c) Follow the on-screen steps to finish the network connection. Method 2: (a) Use a mobile phone to scan the QR code named with DrayTek Wireless App to download DrayTek Wireless APP. (b) After downloading, run the APP. (c) Click Quick Start Wizard. Next, scan the QR code named with Connect SSID. Later, click Connect to access into the APP user interface of VigorAP 912C to set the device in AP or Range Extender mode.
