Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup 2: Let’s Get Going-Hardware Setup Setup Requirements Before starting, please verify that the following is available: CAT5/5e networking cable At least one computer is installed with a Web browser and a wired or wireless network interface adapter TCP/IP protocol is installed and IP address parameters are properly configured on all your network’s nodes Hardware Installation The access point can be powered using either the power adapter provided or a PoE Injector.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Step 2: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the Ethernet ports on your access point, and the other end of the cable to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. PC Step 3: Attach the power adapter to the main electrical supply, and connect the power plug into the socket of the access point. Step 4: Turn ON the power supply and power ON your PC.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup OPTION Two: Using PoE to supply power to the unit The access point is fully compatible with a Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) kit. A PoE accessory supplies operational power to the wireless AP via the Ethernet cable connection. Users who have already purchased a PoE and who wish to use it to supply power to the access point may follow the installation procedures shown below: Step 1: Connect the external antenna to the SMA connector of the access point.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Step 3: Next, connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable attached to the PoE Injector to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. Once you have finished configuring your access point, you can connect the PoE Injector’s RJ45 Ethernet cable to your network device, such as to a switch or hub. Step 4: Connect the power adapter supplied in the 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 Step 5: Turn on your power supply. Notice that the Power LED has lighted up. This indicates that the access point is receiving power through the Compex PoE Injector. Notice also that the corresponding port LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that connection between your access point and your PC has been established.
Chapter 2 Let’s Get Going - Hardware Setup Optional: Mounting on the Wall Step 1: Screw the mount onto the unit. Step 2: Align the unit and mount to the wall. Use the mount as a guide, make 2 marks and drill 2 holes into the wall. Step 3: Next, secure the unit and mount to the wall.
Chapter 3 Access to Web-based Interface 3: Access to Web-based Interface There are two methods to access to the web-based interface of WP54: 1. Through the Compex Utility – uConfig You can access to the web-based interface directly without having to change the IP address of your PC. 2. Through your web browser First, you will need to assign an IP address to your PC, such as 192.168.168.xxx, where x can be any value from 2 to 254, so that it is in the same subnet as WP54.
Chapter 3 Access to Web-based Interface Select WP54 in the Compex Products List section and click on Open Web button. To retrieve and display the latest device(s) in the list, click on the Refresh button. This screen prompts you not to exit your uConfig program while accessing to your web-based interface, or else you will fail to connect to your device. Click on the OK button to proceed.
Chapter 3 Access to Web-based Interface At the authentication page, click on the LOGIN! Button to enter the main configuration page. The default password is “password”. You will then reach the home page of WP54’s web-based interface. Note: Refer to User’s Manual for instructions on how to configure WP54 for wireless access. Access to the Web interface manually If you wish to access to the web interface manually, you need to configure the TCP/IP of your PC. Refer to User’s Manual in the Product CD.
