Unpack the AP

• SunSpot™ Wave2 AC2600
• Wall/Ceiling mounting bracket and securing screw
• Wall-mount kit — 4 screws, 4 wall plugs
• Universal AC/DC power adapter

Mount the AP

• a. Mounting the AP on a Wall

1. At the installation location on the wall, use the wall/ceilingmount bracket to mark four holes for the wall plugs and screws (included in the wall-mount kit). Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap them flush with the wall surface. Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
2. With its ports facing down, place the AP over the bracket flanges and then slide it down until it snaps into its secured position. Do not let go of the AP until you confirm that it is secure.

• b. Mounting the AP on a Ceiling

1. Place the wall/ceiling-mount bracket over the mounting flanges on the back of the AP, and then slide it up until it snaps into its secured position.
2. Use the included screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
3. Press the retention clips of the wall/ceiling-mount bracket against the ceiling T-bar.
4. Rotate the AP until the T-bar snaps into place.
  *  **Note:** The wall/ceiling-mount bracket supports two different sizes of suspended ceiling T-bars. The position illustrated above is for 15 mm bars. Use the position at a 90 degrees angle for 24.5 mm bars.

• c. Mounting the AP on a Pole (requires optional pole-mount kit)

1. Attach the pole-mount bracket to the back of the AP.
2. Use the included screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
3. Feed the two steel-band clamps through the pole-mount bracket mounting points.
4. Fasten the steel-band clamps around the pole to secure the AP to the pole.

Connect Cables

• a. Using the AC/DC Power Adapter

1. Connect the cable from the AC/DC power adapter to the DC power jack on the AP.
2. Connect the power adapter to a nearby AC power source (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz). Connect Category 5e or better cable to the ETH1/PoE RJ-45 port.
3. Connect the other end of this cable to a LAN switch. (Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other RJ-45 port on the AP using Category 5e or better cable. This 1000BASE-T port is labeled ETH2.

• b. Using a PoE Power Source

1. Connect Category 5e or better cable to the ETH1/PoE RJ-45 port, and the other end of this cable to an 802.3af PoE LAN switch.
2. (Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other ETH2 RJ-45 port on the AP using Category 5e or better cable.

Verify AP Operation

1. The power LED should be on amber.
2. During normal operation, the wireless LEDs should be on/ blinking green.
3. The ETH1/PoE port link/activity LED should be on/blinking green. When connected, the ETH2 port link/activity LEDs should also be on/blinking green.

Connect to the Web User Interface

• To access the web interface, connect a PC directly to the AP’s ETH2 RJ-45 port. In a web browser, enter the AP’s default management IP address of 192.168.2.1 to access the web login page.
• If you want to connect to the web interface using the ETH1/PoE port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the ETH1/PoE port reverts to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.20.
• Log in to the web interface using the default settings:
  • Login Name — root
  • Password — admin123
  • Note: To reset the AP to factory default settings, press and hold down the AP’s Reset button for 5 seconds.

Complete the Setup Wizard

Select the country of operation for the AP. Setting the correct country ensures that the radios operate within local regulations specified for Wi-Fi networks.

Manage the AP with the IgniteNet Cloud Controller

• Go to cloud.ignitenet.com to register your AP.
• Log in and select Devices from the menu. Click Add Device and enter the AP serial number and MAC address to register the AP with your cloud network.
• The serial number and MAC address can be found on the product packaging or label.

Manage the AP in Stand-Alone Mode

• If you select to manage the AP in stand-alone mode, use the web interface to manually make your configuration changes.
• For more information on AP configuration in stand-alone mode, refer to the HeliOS User Manual, which can be downloaded from ignitenet.com/support.
