Pole Mount 2. Fix the mount and access point to a pole using the included pole mount straps. II. Quick Setup The OAP900 Long Range 802.11ac Outdoor Access Point features a range of powerful functions: - 802.11ac high-speed wireless technology - 16 SSIDs for management - SNMP v1/v2c/v3 Your access point can be up and running in just a few minutes.
II-1. Passive PoE Injector Do not connect a non-PoE device to the access point’s LAN2 (PoE Out) port. The LAN2 port outputs 48 V and can damage a non PoE device. 1. Connect the access point’s LAN1 (PoE In) port to the PoE injector’s PoE port via Ethernet cable. 2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the access point’s LAN port to your network: router, access point or switch. If it’s more convenient for initial setup, you can connect a computer directly to the access point’s LAN port instead. 3.
II-2. AP Mode 1. Enter the access point’s IP address into the URL bar of a web browser. The default IP is 192.168.2.2. If the AP is connected to a DHCP server, ensure you use the correct address. 2. You will be prompted for a user name and password. Enter the default username “admin” and the default password “1234”. 3. You will arrive at the “System Information” screen shown below.
- LAN IP Address 5GHz SSID & Security Administrator Name & Password Time & Date It is recommended you configure these settings before using the access point. 1. To change the access point’s LAN IP address, go to “Network Settings” > “LAN-side IP Address” and you will see the screen below. 2. Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your access point. You can use a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network environment.
4. To configure the security of your access point’s 5GHz wireless network(s), go to “Wireless Settings” > “5GHz 11ac 11an” > “Security”. Select an “Authentication Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption Key” depending on your choice, then click “Apply”. If using multiple SSIDs, specify which SSID to configure using the “SSID” drop down menu. 5. To change the administrator name and password for the browser based configuration interface, go to “Management” > “Admin”.
6. Complete the “Administrator Name” and “Administrator Password” fields and click “Apply”. 7. To set the correct time for your access point, go to “Management” > “Date and Time Settings”. 8. Set the correct time and time zone for your access point using the drop down menus. The access point also supports NTP (Network Time Protocol) so alternatively you can enter the host name or IP address of a time server. Click “Apply” when you are finished.
II-3. Managed AP Mode: Edimax Pro NMS Edimax Pro Network Management Suite (NMS) supports the central management of a group of access points, otherwise known as an AP Array. NMS supports up to 16 Edimax Pro access points with no additional wireless controller required or 128 access points with the APC 500 AP controller reducing costs and facilitating efficient remote AP management. Edimax Pro NMS is simple to setup.
When using an Edimax NMS AP controller, other connected APs are automatically set to Managed APs. In the case that the AP Controller cannot find your OAP900 as a Managed AP, you can configure the setting manually as below: 1. Ensure all APs including your OAP900 are connected to an Ethernet or PoE switch which is connected to a gateway/router. You can use your router as a DHCP server or you can later configure your AP Controller as a DHCP server. 2. Ensure all APs are powered on and check LEDs.
3. Ensure you have setup and designated one AP as the AP Controller which will manage all other connected APs (up to 128 depending on model). 4. Connect a computer to the OAP900 via PoE switch using an Ethernet cable.
5. Open a web browser and enter the OAP900’s IP address in the address field. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2 6. Enter the username & password to login. The default username & password are admin & 1234. 7. You will arrive at the Edimax Pro NMS Dashboard. Go to “Operation Mode” and select “Managed AP Mode” from the drop down menu.
8. Click “Apply” to save the settings and your AP Controller & Managed APs should be fully functional. Use Edimax NMS on your AP controller to manage & monitor your Managed APs. Refer to your AP controller’s user manual for help with Edimax NMS. III-4. Client Bridge Mode Client Bridge mode enables the OAP900 to wirelessly connect to an AP’s SSID while remaining in the same IP address range as that AP – the WAN and LAN are on the same subnet. This is ideal for last-mile solutions.
3. Click Scan to search for and display available SSIDs and click Select to connect to an available source SSID. 4. Enter the encryption information for the SSID and then click Connect.
