Chapter 1 Introduction 1: Introduction Compex WP18 Wireless 54Mbps A+G Dualband Access Point with built-in PoE let you have the best of both worlds with its versatile Dualband feature. Compex WP18 contains two separate wireless radio transceivers that support all three popular wireless network such as the IEEE 802.11b/g band which operates on 2.4GHz and the IEEE 802.11a band which operates at 5GHz.
Chapter 1 Introduction Packaging Content Actual product appearance may slightly differ depending on the hardware version.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup 2: Let’s Get Going-Hardware Setup Compex WP18 can be powered using either the power adapter or the Compex PoE or IEEE802.3af PoE. The installation process for the three options is described below. Option One: Using power adapter to supply power to the unit Connect this dual-band “AG” to the LEFT on Compex WP18.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Insert one end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to any of the LAN ports (1,2 or 3) on your Compex WP18, and the other end of the cable to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. PC Attach the power adapter to the main electrical supply, and connect the power plug into the socket of the Compex WP18.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Power ON your PC. Notice that the Power and Port 1 or 2 (depending on which port you have connected the RJ45 Ethernet cable to) LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that the connection has been established successfully between your Compex WP18 and your PC.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Option Two: Using Compex PoE to supply power to the unit Compex Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) is fully compatible with your Compex WP18. This accessory supplies operational power to the wireless access point via the Ethernet cable connection. Users who have already purchased the Compex PoE and who wish to use it to supply power to the Compex WP18 may follow the installation procedures as shown below: Follow the same procedure as described in the Option One.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Next, connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable attached to the Compex PoE Injector to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. Once you have finished configuring your WP18, you can connect the PoE Injector’s RJ45 Ethernet cable to your network device, such as to a switch or hub. PC Connect the power adapter supplied in the Compex PoE kit to the main electrical supply and the power plug into the socket of the injector.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Now, turn on your power supply. Notice that the Power and Port 4 (PoE Port) (according to the picture illustration) LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that the WP18 is receiving power through the Compex PoE Injector and that connection between Compex WP18 and your PC has been established.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Option Three: Using IEEE 802.3af PoE Injector to supply power to the unit Compex WP18 can be powered using the IEEE802.3af PoE Injector. This accessory supplies operational power to the wireless AP via the Ethernet cable connection. The installation process is described below. Follow the same procedure as described in the Option One. And also refer to Appendix C ( in user’s manual) for configuring the jumper JP01 before proceeding to Step 2.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Next, connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable attached to the standard PoE Injector to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. Once you have finished configuring your WP18, you can connect the PoE Injector’s RJ45 Ethernet cable to your network device, such as to a switch or hub.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Connect the power adapter supplied in the IEEE802.3af PoE kit to the main electrical supply and the power plug into the socket of the injector. Note: The voltage and current supplied to the NetPassage WP18 power adapter and the standard PoE kit power adapter are different. Do not interchange the power adapters. PC Now, turn on your power supply. Notice that the Power and Port 4 (PoE Port) (according to the picture illustration) LEDs have lighted up.
