Installation

VigorAP can be installed under certain locations: wooden ceiling, plasterboard ceilings, light-weighted steel frame and wall.

Ceilingmount Installation ((Wooden Ceiling))

Determine where the Access Point to be placed and mark location on the surface for the two mounting holes. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill two holes in the markings and hammer the bolts into the openings.

1. Place the mount base under the wooden ceiling and fasten it on the ceiling with two screws firmly.
2. When the mount base is in place, slide the AP into the slot of the mount base.

Ceiling mount Installation ((Plasterboard Ceiling)

1. Place the Mount Base under the plasterboard ceiling and fasten two turnbuckles firmly.
2. Make the screws pass through the Mount Base and insert into the turnbuckles. Fasten them to offer more powerful supporting force.
3. When the Mount Base is in place, slide the mount base into the slot of the AP.

Suspended Ceiling ((Lightweight Steel Frame)) Installation

You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (Mount Base) which will be used to attach directly to the ceiling frame of your suspended ceiling.

1. Slide the mount base into the slot of the AP.

2. Hold the Access Point with one hand to reach the other hand over the T-Rail sides of the bracket.

3. Rotate and hook the stationary end of the ceiling mount base onto the T-Rail ceiling frame.

Note
Warning: The screw set shown below is for wall mounting only. Do not use such set for ceiling mounting due to the danger of falling.

Wall Mounted Installation

For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside.

1. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill two 8.1mm diagram and 26mm depth holes in the markings and hammer the bolts into the openings.
2. Screw the anchors unto the holes until they are flush with the wall; screw the included screws into the anchors.
3. Place the Access Point against wall with the mounting screw heads.

Connection and Configuration

Connect to a Vigor Router using AP Management

Your VigorAP can be used with Vigor routers which support AP management (such as the Vigor2865 or Vigor2927 series). AP Management enables you to monitor and manage multiple DrayTek APs from a single interface.

1. Connect VigorAP to PoE switch (via LAN port) with Ethernet cable. VigorAP  will get the power from the switch directly. Then, connect the VigorSwitch to a Vigor router.

2. Access into the web user interface of Vigor router. Here we take Vigor2865 as an example. Open Central Management>>AP>>Status.

3. Locate VigorAP 1060C. Click the IP address assigned by Vigor router to access into web user interface of VigorAP 1060C.

4. After entering the username and password (admin/admin), the main screen will be displayed.

 Web Configurations

This section will guide you to install the AP and make configuration for VigorAP.
Connected As a Mesh Node (in Mesh Network)

1. Install VigorAP on to the ceiling.
2. As a mesh node, settings related to VigorAP 1060C must be configured by a remote Mesh Root (e.g., VigorAP 903) within the mesh network. The user must detect VigorAP 1060C via a Mesh Root to add it as a mesh node.

Connected As an Access Point

As an access point, VigorAP 1060C must be connected to a router and configured in AP (Access Point) / Range Extender mode.

1. Install VigorAP on to the ceiling.

2. Use a twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 plugs at both ends, and plug into Ethernet device (e.g., Vigor router) and Ethernet port of VigorAP.

3. There are two methods to configure VigorAP.

   • Method 1:

   • First, open a web browser on your PC and type https://192.168.1.2. A pop-up window will open to ask for username and password.

   • Note
     You may either simply set up your computer to get IP dynamically from the router or set up the IP address of the computer to be in the same subnet as the IP address of VigorAP 1060C.
     

   • If there is no DHCP server on the network, then VigorAP 1060C will have an IP address of 192.168.1.2.

   • If there is DHCP available on the network, then VigorAP 1060C will receive its IP address via the DHCP server.

   • If you connect to VigorAP by wireless LAN, you could try to access the web user interface through
     http://vigorap.com.

   • After clicking Login, Quick Start Wizard for configuring wireless settings will appear as follows.

   • Follow the on-screen steps to finish the network connection.

Method 2:

  * Use a mobile phone to scan the QR code named with DrayTek Wireless App to download DrayTek Wireless APP.
