   The next step powers on the access point by attaching the Ethernet cable to a port on a PoE++ source device. Allied Telesis recommends not performing the step until you have completed all of the installation procedures.

8. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a port on a PoE++ source device, such as a PoE++ switch.

Attaching the Antennas to the Access Point

1. Remove the blind caps covering the antenna connectors.
2. Screw a surge protector to an antenna connector.
3. Screw the nut onto the surge protector and install the metal washer and rubber washer, in that order, on the surge protector.

Note
You must install 5GHz antennas to 5GHz antenna connectors and 2.4GHz antennas to 2.4GHz antenna connectors.

4. Screw an antenna onto the surge protector and tighten the nut against the antenna to secure the antenna.
   

5. Repeat this procedure to install the remaining antennas.

Installation Orientation

The access point must be installed on a pole or wall with the front panel facing down.

Installing the Access Point on a Wall

Starting the Initial Management Session

The access point firmware includes a DHCP client. The default setting for the client is enabled. When you power on the access point for the first time, it queries the subnet on the LAN port for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server responds to its query, the unit uses the IP address the server assigns to it.

1. Start the web browser on your management workstation.

2. Enter the IP address of the wireless access point in the URL field of the web browser. The address is one of the following:

   • If your network does not have a DHCP server, enter the default address 192.168.1.230.
   • If your network has a DHCP server, enter the IP address the DHCP server assigned to the access point.
     The wireless access point displays the logon prompt.

3. Enter “manager” for the username and “friend” for the password. The username and password are case-sensitive.

Setting the Country Setting

The non-US model of this product has a country code setting that must be set during the initial management session of the unit. The setting ensures that the unit operates in compliance with the laws and regulations of your country or region.
The country code for the US model is preset and cannot be changed. Per FCC regulations, the country code setting for all WiFi products marketed in the US must be fixed to US operational channels only.
