Receiving and Inspecting the Equipment
Upon receiving the access point, inspect the shipping boxes and record any
external damage. Retain the packing materials if you suspect that part of the
shipment is damaged; the carrier may need to inspect them. If the boxes were
not damaged in transit, unpack them carefully. Ensure that you do not discard
any accessories that may be packaged in the same box as the main unit. Inspect
the packing list and confirm that you received all listed items. Compare the
packing list with your purchase order.

Getting the C-200 Online
Step 1: Power up
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the PoE (802.3af) switch or injector
and the other end into the Ethernet/PoE port (LAN1) on the C-200. Ensure the
PoE source you are using is turned ON, or use a compatible power adaptor
(Arista SKU: PWR-AP-W3 (12V 2A)) to power the C-200.
Warning : The C-200 is intended to be supplied with UL-listed PoE power
source suitable for use at 40ºC, and whose output meets LPS requirements or
PS2, with a rating of 48V DC(0.5A minimum). If you are not using PoE, ensure
that you use only an AC power adaptor supported by the C-200 access point
(AP). This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-In Power
Unit marked “Class 2”, Listed Power Adapter or DC power source marked “L.P.S.”
(or “Limited Power Source”) and rated from 12V 1.5A minimum.
Step 3: Check the LED status
Power LED: The table below describes the states of the Power LED.
LAN1 LED: ON when the interface is up.
Radio LEDs: ON when the corresponding radio is operational
Troubleshooting
- Check whether the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct port (PoE) on the AP and the other end of the cable is plugged into an Ethernet jack or port on a switch that is turned ON.
- If the AP did not receive a valid IP address from the DHCP server, check whether the DHCP server is ON and available on the VLAN/subnet to which the AP is connected. If the AP still fails to get a valid IP address, reboot the AP by pressing the reset button to see if the problem gets resolved.
- If you are using Arista Cloud Services, then open the TCP port 443 (SSL). If you have an on-premises installation, then open the ports UDP 3851 and port 80. If you are using a Proxy, Web Accelerator or URL Content Filter in between the AP and the Internet, ensure that the settings allow communication between the AP and Arista Cloud Services. If your configuration requires you to specify an exact IP address or IP range for Arista Cloud Services, please contact Technical Support.
