[2] Lightning and ESD Protection

Before mounting the EAP, you should consider Lightning and ESD Protection to ensure safety.

Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. To reduce the damage of potential lightning and ESD attacks, connect the grounding terminal to grounding facilities using a proper grounding wire, which should meet the local installation requirements. You need to secure the grounding wire to the grounding terminal with the screw.

[3] Hardware Installation

Mount the EAP

The EAP can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted. Follow the steps below for the appropriate installation.

Option 1: Pole Mounting

Step 1:
Lead the end of the pole mounting strap through the back of the EAP.

Step 2:
Position the EAP and wrap the pole mounting strap around the pole. Feed the end through the screw-block and tighten the strap until the EAP is secure.

Option 2: Wall Mounting

Step 1:
Place the mounting bracket (for EAP) in the right position. Mark two positions for the screw holes.
Drill two 6 mm holes for the screws at the marked positions.

Step 2:
Insert the plastic wall anchors into the 6 mm holes. Align the bracket (for EAP) to the plastic wall anchors and drive the self-tapping screws into the anchors through the bracket (for EAP).

Step 3:
Align the mounting tabs on the back of the EAP with the slot of the mounting bracket (for EAP). Push and slide the EAP downward until it locks into place.

Connect the Cable

Note: It’s recommended that you scan the QR code and watch the installation video. If you have any trouble in this process, please follow the instructions below step by step.

1. O-Ring
2. Bracket
3. Spiral Cover
4. Seal

(1) Fit an Ethernet cable through the Spiral Cover , Bracket , and O-Ring , and connect the cable to the port.

(2) Fit the O-Ring to the head of the Bracket and screw the Bracket to the body of the device.
Note: Don’t warp the O-Ring.

(3) Fit the Ethernet cable through the Seal’s slit with the thicker side towards the Bracket , and plug the seal to the Bracket.
Note: Choose the proper Seal according to the type and diameter of the Ethernet cable.

(4) Screw the Spiral Cover to the Bracket.

Power On

The EAP can be powered via the provided passive PoE adapter or a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) which complies with LPS or PS2 standard.

Option 1: Via Passive PoE Adapter

Connecting the PoE Adapter

Connect the EAP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter as follows:

1. Ethernet cable length up to 100 m
2. PoE
3. LAN

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

Note: To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it is recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing upward.

Step 1:
Remove the mounting bracket from the passive PoE Adapter.
Drill two holes on the wall and insert the plastic wall anchors into the the holes.
Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
Make sure the shoulders at the corners of the mounting bracket are on the outside and pointing upward.

Step 2:
Attach the passive PoE adapter to the mounting bracket (for PoE Adapter) by sliding the adapter in the direction of the arrows until it locks into place.

Option 2: Via PoE Switch

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Ethernet port. The PoE switch should comply with 802.3at.

[4] Software Configuration

Choose from the following methods to set up your EAPs:

• Method 1: Standalone Mode
  To configure and manage EAPs separately (Convenient for a small network with only a few devices)

• Method 2: Controller Mode
  To configure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely Omada Controller.

Method 1: Standalone Mode

1. Internet
2. Router
3. EAP
4. Clients

Note:

• Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
• A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.

Via Omada App

1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play:

or

               
Scan for Omada App                Download Omada App

2. Connect your mobile device to the EAP by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX ) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.

3. Open the Omada App, and wait for the EAP to appear on the Standalone APs page. Tap on the EAP you want to configure.

The Omada App is designed to help you quickly configure the common settings. If you want to configure advanced settings, use the web page of your EAP or use Controller Mode.

Via Web Browser

1. Connect wirelessly by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX ) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://tplinkeap.net in the address bar. Use admin for both Username and Password to log in.
3. Set up a new Username and Password for secure management purpose. Modify the wireless parameters and reconnect your wireless devices to the new wireless network.

To configure other EAPs, connect your device to the EAP by the coresponding default SSID and repeat the steps listed above. You can configure some basic functions in Standalone Mode. If you want to configure advanced functions, use Controller Mode.

Method 2: Controller Mode

Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:

• Type 1: Omada Software Controller
  On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller from https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software- controller/. Then run the file and follow the wizard to install and launch the Omada Software Controller. To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.

1. Router
2. Switch
3. Omada Software Controller running on the Host PC
4. EAP
5. Clients

• Type 2: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
  Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no spare PC to keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally.
  For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.

1. Router

2. Switch

3. Omada Hardware Controller
   (OC200/OC300)

4. EAP

5. Clients

Note:

• Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
• A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
• Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the router, switch, and EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.

Via Omada App

1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play:

or

                 
Scan for Omada App                 Download Omada App

2. Launch your Omada App and configure the controller at a local site or remote site.

• Local Management

Via Web Browser

1. Open the Omada Controller’s web page.
   For Omada Software Controller
   Launch the Omada Software Controller on your PC. After the initiation process, the controller automatically opens its web page. If not, click Launch a Browser to Manage the Network.
   For Omada Hardware Controller
   As Omada Hardware Controller gets its IP address from the DHCP server of the router, we don’t know its IP address explicitly. However, we can find it out on the router’s DHCP client list.
   a. You need first find the IP address of the router. Open the command line on your PC and enter ipconfig. In the result list, find the Default Gateway , which is also the IP address of the router.
   b. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the router. Log into the router’s web page, and both the username and password are admin by default. Then go to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP address of your controller according to its MAC address.
   c. Enter the IP address of the your controller in the address bar to open its web page.

2. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.

3. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
