ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Points WAC720 and WAC730

Connect the Access Point to a Computer

Tip: Before you place the access point in an elevated position that is

difficult to reach, first set up and test the access point to verify WiFi

network connectivity.

 To set up the access point:

1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.

2. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter.

If this computer is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.

Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as

the subnet mask.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the computer.

4. Securely insert the other end of the cable into the access point’s Ethernet port.

5. Turn on your computer.

6. Connect the access point to a PoE switch or power adapter.

Tip: The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) with power

redundancy. If you are using a switch that provides PoE, you do not

need to use a power adapter to power the access point. Using PoE

can be especially convenient when the access point is installed in a

high location far away from a power outlet.

7. Verify the following:

Power/Test LED. The Power/Test LED blinks when the access point is first turned

on. (To be exact, during startup, the LED is first steady amber, then goes off, and

then blinks green.) After about 45 seconds, the LED stays lit

(steady green). If after one minute the Power/Test LED is not lit or is still blinking,

check the connections and see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall switch

that is turned off.

Active LED. The Active LED is lit or blinks green when Ethernet traffic is

detected.

LAN LED. The LAN LED indicates the LAN speed for LAN port 1: green for

1000 Mbps, amber for 100 Mbps, and no light for 10 Mbps. If the LAN LED is not

lit, make sure that the Ethernet cable is securely attached at both ends.

2.4 GHz WLAN LED. The 2.4 GHz WLAN LED is lit or blinks green when the WiFi

LAN (WLAN) is ready.

5 GHz WLAN LED. The 5 GHz WLAN LED is lit or blinks green when the WiFi

LAN (WLAN) is ready.
