RESET| Reset button, used to reset the AP. For the reset method, see 04 in the FAQ.
LAN1

(for Pro-6-L R)

| 10/100 /1000 Mbps auto-negotiation. Connected to a wired device (such as a computer)to transmit data.
LANO/PoE or LAN/PoE| 10/100 /1000 Mbps auto-negotiation port for both PoE power supply and data transmission.

Generally connected to an upstream device (such as a PoE switch). You can power the AP by:

-The included adapter or power adapter.

– Other PoE power supply devices with IEEE 802.3 af/at standards.

Cable Fix Notch| Used to fix Ethernet cables to the AP.

Network Topology

The typical network topology of the APs is shown below.

(Pro-6-LR used for example. The wiring of other models is similar regardless of their appearance.)

Install the AP

Tips:

• Before installation,
  • Record the MAC address (on the label of the AP) and installation position of the AP to locate the AP through the MAC address.
  • Prepare a marker, a hammer drill, a drill bit, a rubber hammer, a screwdriver, and a ladder.
• The APs are suitable for mounting at heights> 2 m.

1. (Pro-6-LR) Remove the bracket from the AP.

2. Position the bracket on the ceiling and mark screw hole positions with the marker.

3. Drill holes in the marked positions using a hammer drill.
   Tips:
   Option A Applies to general cases. For ceilings with weak strength (such as plasterboard), please choose Option B.

4. Option A: Knock the included plastic anchors into the holes using the rubber hammer. Insert the included screws into the screw holes on the bracket and fix them into the plastic anchors using a screwdriver to fix the bracket.
   Option B: Insert the included screws into the screw holes on the bracket and fix them into the included plastic nuts using a screwdriver to fix the bracket.

5. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better recommended) to connect a PoE power supply device with IEEE 802.3af /at standards to the LAN0/PoE or LAN/PoE port of the AP.

6. (For Pro-6-LR) If you want to connect a wired device (such as a computer) to the AP, connect it to the LAN1 port.

7. Align the slots of the AP with the hooks of the bracket.

8. Ensure that the AP is firmly seated onto the bracket. Turn the AP clockwise until it is fixed securely onto the bracket.

Power the AP

CAT5e or better Ethernet cables are recommended.

Method 1: Power the AP with the included PoE adapter and PoE injector

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN0/PoE or LAN/PoE port of the AP to the PoE port of the included PoE injector.
2. Use the included power adapter to connect the PoE injector to a power socket.

Tips:
For Pro-6-Lite, the maximum power supply distance is 100 meters; for Pro-6-LR, the maximum power supply distance is 50 meters.

Method 2: Power the AP with a standard PoE power supply device
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN0/PoE or LAN/PoE port of the AP to a PoE power supply device with 802.3af/at standards. A PoE switch is used for illustration in the following figure.

Configure the AP

Method 1: Through Pro Fi Software Controller
Visit www.ip-com.com.cn to download the ProFi Software Controller to your computer for management. For details, visit the product page or service page on www.ip-com.com.cn to get the user guide of the Pro Fi Software Controller.

Method 2: Through an IP-COM hardware controller
If there is an IP-COM hardware controller {an IP-COM AP controller or an IP- COM router with AP management function) in the LAN, you can manage the APs in batches through the hardware controller. For details, visit the product page or service page on www.ip-com.com.cn to get the user guide of the hardware controller of the model.

Method 3: Through ProFi App/ProFi Cloud

Tips:
Before managing the AP through the ProFl App, ensure that the network where the AP belongs is connected to the internet.

Scan the QR code below to download the ProFi App. In the App, create a project and add an AP to manage the AP remotely.

After the AP is successfully added to the ProFi App, you can also log in to the web UI of ProFi Cloud {https://imsen.ip-com.com.cn) to manage the AP remotely.
For details, visit the product page or service page on www.ip-com.com.cn to get the user guide of the IP-COM ProFi App and IP-COM ProFi Cloud.

Method 4: Through the web UI of the AP

Tips:

• To configure multiple APs in the LAN to avoid IP address conflict, you can connect and configure one AP (including the change of IP address) first, then repeat the steps to configure other APs.
• Record the changed IP addresses of APs for subsequent management.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the management computer to a switch that is connected to the AP.

2. Set the IP address of the management computer to the same network segment as that of the AP {default: 192.168.0.254).
   For example, when the AP’s IP address is 192.168.0.254, you can set the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.X (X ranges from 2 to 253 and is not occupied by other devices) and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

3. Start a web browser on the management computer, and enter the IP address of the AP in the address bar to access the web UI to manage AP.

For details, visit the product page or service page on www.ip- com.com.cn to get the user guide of the AP.

FAQ

Q1: I cannot log In to the web Ul ot the AP. What should l do?
A1: Try the following solutions:

• Ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected properly.
• Ensure that the IP address of the management computer is set to the same network segment as that of the AP. If the A P’s IP address is still 192.168.0.254, you can set the JP address of your computer to 192.168.0X (X ranges from 2 to 253 and Is not occupied by other devices).
• If the AP is managed by a controller, the AP may obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in the LAN. You can check the new IP address from the client list of the OHCP server, and use this IP address to log in. tt the problem persists, reset the AP (see Q4).

Q2: The Pro Fl App falls to add the AP to a project. What should I do?
A2: Try the following solutions:

• Ensure that the network where the AP belongs is connected to the internet.
• Ensure that the ProFi App is upgraded to the latest version.
• Ensure that the firmware of the AP is the latest version on our official website www.lp-com.com.cn.
• Reboot the AP.
• Reset the AP (see Q4).

Q3. The contro1Ier falls todetecttheAP. Whatshoukll do?
A3. Try the fol1owlng solutions:

• Ensure that the physical connections are correct and the AP has started up properly.
• If VLAN exists in the network, ensure that the controller is in the same VLAN as the AP.
• Reboot the AP.
• Ensure that the firmware of the controller and the AP is the latest version on our official website www.lp-com.com.cn.
• Reset the AP (see Q4).

Q4: How to reset the AP?
A4: When the AP is idle, hold down the RESET button with a needle-like object for about 8 seconds and release it when the LEO indicator turns off. The AP Is reset successfully when the indicator starts to blink white.

Q5: I forgot the username and password when accessing the web UI of the AP. What should I do?
A5: Try to log In with the default username and password (admin).

• If it fails, reset the AP (see Q4) and then use the default username and password to log in again.
