Network Topology A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below. Internet Controller Host EAP Controller Switch Router EAP Clients To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. Ensure the EAPs are in the same subnet with the Controller Host in which the EAP Controller software is installed.
Hardware Overview 1. LED EAP110, EAP120 and EAP220 have the same LED status and corresponding indications. System LED LED Status Solid green Flashing red Indication The device is working properly. System errors. RAM, Flash, Ethernet, WLAN or firmware may be malfunctioning. Flashing yellow Firmware update is in progress. Do not disconnect or power off the device. Double-flashing red, green, yellow The device is being reset to its factory default settings.

The interface panel components of the EAP, from left to right, are described in the following list. Kensington Security Slot Secure the lock (not provided) into the security slot to prevent the device from being stolen.
ON/OFF Press this button to turn on/off the EAP120/EAP220. POWER The power port is used to connect the EAP120/EAP220 to an electrical wall outlet via power adapter. Please only use the provided power adapter. Refer to next chapter 4.Power Supply to learn how to power the EAP120/EAP220 via power adapter. ARROW 1 This arrow is used to align with ARROW 2 on the mounting bracket to lock the EAP into place. Please refer to next chapter 2.Mounting Bracket to locate ARROW 2.
Hardware Installation The EAP can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. Please suitably arrange your wire layout before mounting the EAP. We take EAP110 as example to explain the installation. EAP110 can be powered via the provided PoE adapter, while EAP120 and EAP220 can be powered via a PoE switch or the provided power adapter. 1.
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. It is NOT recommended to mount the EAP on a low-strength material, such as gypsum ceiling panel. If no other choice is available, make sure you add a piece of strong material under the wing nuts to ensure the EAP is mounted solidly. ■■ ■■ 1. Remove the ceiling tile. 2. Place the mounting bracket in the center of the ceiling tile.
3. Use a drill with the appropriate size drill bit to drill three 4mm holes for the pan-head screws, and drill a 10mm hole for the Ethernet cable to feed through. 4mm hole for mounting bracket 10mm hole for Ethernet cable feed 4. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile using the pan-head screws, washers and wing nuts, as shown below.
5. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning ARROW 1 with ARROW 2, as shown below. ARROW 1 ARROW 2 RESET ETHERNET 6. Turn the EAP clockwise until it locks into place.
7. Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole and set the ceiling tile back into place. 8. Connect the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port. ■■ Wall Mounting There are two wall-mounting slots on the back of the mounting bracket. To mount the EAP on a wall, please follow the steps below. 1. Make two small pencil marks on the wall. Make sure the two marks are level and should be 98.6mm apart. 2. Use a drill with the appropriate size drill bit to drill two 4mm holes through the center of your marks.
4. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning ARROW 1 with ARROW 2. ARROW 1 ARROW 2 RESET ETHERNET 5. Turn the EAP clockwise until it locks into place. 6. Hang the EAP on the screws. Make sure the EAP is firmly seated against the wall. 7. Connect the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port on the EAP.
4. Power Supply ■■ EAP110 The EAP110 can be powered with the provided PoE adapter. POE LAN 3 PoE Adapter EAP110 POE 1 Switch LAN 2 (Up to 100m) 1. Connect the ETHERNET port of EAP110 to the POE port of the PoE adapter through an Ethernet cable. The cable length can be up to 100 meters. 2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN port of the PoE adapter. 3. Plug the female connector of the power cord into the PoE adapter, and the male connector to a power outlet.
■■ EAP120/EAP220 EAP120/EAP220 can be powered via a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) or a power adapter. Via PoE Switch PoE Switch EAP120/EAP220 2 1 1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the ETHERNET port of EAP120/EAP220. 2. Press the ON/OFF button on the interface panel of EAP120/EAP220. Via Power Adapter Switch Socket EAP120/EAP220 2 1 1. Plug one end of the provided power adapter into the power port of EAP120/ EAP220, and the other end to a standard electrical wall socket.
Software Configuration The following content will guide you to quickly set up a wireless network connection with mass EAPs, and log in to the EAP Controller management interface to manage the EAPs. Internet Controller Host EAP Controller Switch Router EAP Step 1: EAP Controller Installation Follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the EAP Controller installation on the Controller Host.
Q&A Q1. What is the maximum cable length between the EAP110 and the provided PoE adapter? 100 meters. The quality of the Ethernet cable may influence the reception of the power supply. Q2. Could the EAP work as a standalone device if it had been adopted by the EAP Controller? No. By default, the EAP works as a standalone device. It will function as a Managed AP once adopted by the EAP Controller. You can Forget this AP on the Controller management interface to turn it back as a standalone device. Q3.
