Network Topology Requirements Typical topology for the EAP is described below. Enwuvgt Master EAP Slave EAP Slave EAP Internet Router Switch Typical Topology The EAP120 and EAP220 provide two management modes: Cluster and Standalone. By default，the management mode is Cluster. In this mode, all the EAPs in the same LAN will form a Cluster, and a Master EAP will be elected among them to manage the other EAPs, called Slave EAPs.
Overview ■■ LED Explanation System LED Top View of the EAP LED Status Quickly flashing green Solid green Slowly flashing red Indication System initialization is complete. The device is working properly. The system is abnormal. RAM, Flash, Ethernet, WLAN or firmware may be malfunctioning. Quickly flashing yellow Firmware is being updated. Alternating red/green/yellow twice The device is being reset.
RESET With the device powered on, press and hold the RESET button for about 8 seconds, and then release the button. The device will restore to factory default settings. CONSOLE This port is used to connect with the serial port of a computer or a terminal to check and monitor simple system information of the device. ETHERNET This port is for connection to a router or switch to transmit and receive data as well as to a PSE device for power supply.
Hardware Installation The EAP can be wall or ceiling mounted and can be powered via a PSE device or the provided adapter. Please suitably arrange your wire layout before the mounting. 1. Installation Requirements Check and prepare the following items in the package for installation.
3. Installation ■■ Ceiling Mounting Note: Make sure the thickness of the ceiling is less than 18mm and the ceiling can bear at least five kilograms. If the ceiling is made of low-strength material like gypsum, it is not recommended to mount the EAP on the ceiling. If it has to do, add a layer of strong material under the nut to ensure the EAP is mounted solidly. ■■ ■■ 1. Remove the ceiling tile. Remove the Ceiling Tile 2. Place the mounting bracket at the center of the ceiling tile.
3. Use a drill bit to drill three holes for screws, and drill a 10mm hole for the Ethernet cable to feed through. 4mm hole for mounting bracket 10mm hole for Ethernet cable feed Drill the Holes 4. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling board with nuts, washers and pan head screws as shown below.
5. Align ARROW 1 with ARROW 2 as shown below, then press the EAP into the mounting bracket. RESET CONSOLE ETHERNET ON/OFF POWER Align Two Arrows 6. Turn the EAP clockwise until it locks into place.
7. Feed the cable through the hole and set the ceiling tile back into place. Fix the Ceiling Tile 8. ■■ Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and ceiling mounting is done. Wall Mounting There are two wall-mounting slots at the bottom of the EAP. To mount the EAP on a wall, please follow the steps below. 1. Make two small pencil marks on the wall. The distance between the two marks should be 98.6mm. Wall L L=98.
2. Use a drill bit to drill two holes through the center of your marks. The diameter of both holes should be 4mm. Wall 4mm in diameter Drill Two Holes 3. Insert the plastic extending tubes into the 4mm holes and drive the screws into the tubes. 4. As Ceiling Mounting shows, press the EAP into the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise until it locks into place. 5. Simply hang your EAP and the wall mounting is done. 4. Powering Mode The EAP can be powered via a PSE device (e.g.
1. Connect the EAP to a PSE device through an Ethernet cable. 2. Press the ON/OFF button on the interface panel of the EAP. ■■ Via Power Adapter Socket TL-SG2008 EAP220 Socket Power the EAP via a Power Adapter 1. Plug one end of the provided power adapter into the power jack of the EAP, and the other end to a standard electrical wall socket. 2. Press the ON/OFF button on the interface panel of the EAP.
Getting Started with the EAP How do you quickly build a wireless network with several EAPs? The following content will instruct you on how to do network connection and software configurations on EAPs. Management host can be connected to the EAPs wirelessly or with wires. Wireless Login is recommended conveniently. Option 1: Wireless Login Internet Router Switch Master EAP Slave EAP Slave EAP Cluster Management Host Sample Network Diagram for Wireless Login Step 1: Power on Power on the EAPs.
Step 2: Wireless Access 1. 2. Make sure the management host is set to obtain IP address automatically. Join the wireless network. The default SSID and password are shown below. SSID: TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX or TP-LINK_5GHz_XXXXXX for EAP220; TPLINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX for EAP120. XXXXXX is the last 6 characters of EAP's MAC address. Password: Password is empty. Step 3: Quick Setup 1. Open a web browser and type in http://tplinkeap.net to log in to the EAP. The default user name and password are admin.
Step 1: Power on Power on the EAPs. The EAP with system initialization first completed will be elected as the Master. Step 2: Wired Access 1. Make sure the management host is set to obtain IP address automatically. 2. Access your DHCP server and locate the IP address of the EAPs. Step 3: Quick Setup 1. Open a web browser, in the address field type in any IP address of the EAPs to log in the web server. The default user name and password are admin.
Q&A Q1. Can Master EAP work as an access point? Yes. In additon to managing and monitoring Slave EAPs, the Master EAP is equipped with the features and functions of an AP, providing wireless access to clients. Q2. What is the maximum number of EAPs in a Cluster? The maximum number of EAPs in a cluster is 24. Q3. Can EAP120 be in the same Cluster with EAP220? No, EAP120 and EAP220 cannot be in the same cluster. Only the EAPs of the same model can be clustered together.
