Araknis Networks Wireless Access Point

Quick Start Guide

Step 5. Access the WAP over WiFi

Warning – If multiple WAPs are to be installed in the same network,

power on and complete network setup for one device at a time to

avoid confusion about which WAP you are connected to.

Araknis EZ Setup Method (with DHCP Address/Router)

Note – Araknis WAPs use a unique setup method that relies on receiv-

ing a DHCP IP address. If setup cannot be initiated using this method,

see below for instructions to access the WAP at its default IP address.

A. Using a PC with a WiFi antenna, connect to the WAP by access-

ing the SSID, “araknis_initial”. If the SSID does not appear and

the WAP LED is ﬂashing, see the “Status LED Operation” on page

13 to troubleshoot the issue, then continue. If the LED is solid

(blue for AN-100 and green for AN-300 devices), then check the

settings in the PC.

Setup Method without DHCP Address/Router

A. On a PC with a WiFi antenna, open the TCP/IP settings.

B. Change the IP address to

“192.168.20.2” and set the subnet

mask to “255.255.255.0”.

C. Click Okay and open the wireless

settings menu.

D. Connect to the WAP by accessing

the SSID, “araknis_initial”. If the

SSID does not appear and the WAN status LED is ﬂashing, see the

“Status LED Operation” on page 13 to troubleshoot the issue,

then continue. If the LED is solid (blue for AN-100 and green for

AN-300 devices), then check the settings in the PC.
