Attaching an External Antenna
This AP comes with an antenna. It is external removable monopole signal-band 2.4 GHz antenna. It can be
rotated over 90 degrees and is omni-directional with a gain of less than 2 dBi. You can change a 5dBi
high gain antenna for creates a superior far-reaching wireless network
Charpter 3 CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS AP
If the default AP configuration does not meet your network requirements, or if you want to customize
the settings for your own network, you can directly connect to the device through its Ethernet port or
wireless to change the configuration. There are two typical applications:
1. Networks with a DHCP Server
If your network has a DHCP server, an IP address is automatic ally assigned to the AP. It takes between
one and two minutes for the Access Point to determine if there is a DHCP server on the network. After
you determine the APs IP address, you can enter that IP address into a web browser on a computer on
the same subnet to view the Access Points system status or change its configuration
2. Networks without a DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Access Point uses a factory assigned IP address
(10.10.10.254). You can use that IP address to configure the Access Point, or you can assign a new IP
address to the Access Point.
To verify that the Access Point is using the default IP address assigned at the factory: Connect a
computer directly to the Access Point using the supplied standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable. Enter
the Access Points default IP address (10.10.10.254) into the computers web browser. If the
Configuration Management System starts, the Access Point is using the factory assigned IP address. You
can configure the Access Point with the Web interface:
Username, type admin (case sensitive)
Password, type admin
