- TEW-840AP60
- Quick Installation Guide
- Proprietary/ Passive PoE injector (24V DC. 0.6A)
- Mounting Hardware
Minimum Requirements
- Computer wkli a network port and web browser
- A network switch or router with an available network IAN port
- Additional TEW-8400280 HAY: vl wireless AC867 directional access point
- 4 x RJ-45 network cables
Note:
The TEW.840APB0 does not support IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standards. You must use
the propnetanfipassive power over Ethernet injector that is supplied with the
TEW-840AP8O. This installation guide will walk you through the installation
and configuration of two TEW-840AP80 access points to establish a wireless
point to point bridge using WDS (wireless distribution system). The RJ-45
Ethernet cable between the passive PoE injector and access point can have a
maximum length of up to 60 m (197 ft.).
Hardware Setup and Configuration
Note:
- The default IP address of the TEW-840AP80 is 192.168.10.100. To configure the TEW.840APBO. your network adapter must have an IP address within the 192.168.10.x subnet (e.g. 192.168.10.10). Please refer to the Appendix in the Users Guide for more Information.
- The initial configuration should be completed in a testing environment with two TEW-840APB0 access points approximately 15 ft. (5 m) apart from one another with the front of the access points directly facing each other.
- Configure and corned the access points before mounting.
- The configuration example in this guide will use the default/standard TEW-840APB0 channel access mode CSMA. More details can be found in the users guide about TOMA channel access mode which is also supported by the TEW-840AP80 wireless AP.
