TEW-821DAP

Getting Started

For a typical wireless setup at home or office when using the access point in AP mode,

please do the following:

Installation

1. Connect the power adapter to the power port of the access point. Or simply plug an

Ethernet cable on the access point to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch that

connects to your router or network.

2. If using the power adapter, plug an Ethernet cable to the access point and plug the

other end to your router or network.

3. Verify that all LEDs are on.

4. For your security, each TEW-821DAP comes pre-encrypted with a unique WiFi Name

(SSID) and WiFi Password. You can find your device's SSID and WiFi password on the

white labels located on the device. Use this information to connect to the TEW-

821DAP access point.

5. Verify your connection to you network by accessing the Internet. For advanced

configuration continue to the advanced sections of the user manual.

Mounting device

To mount the access point, first route the network cable through the largest opening in

the mounting plate and install the mounting plate to the desired wall or ceiling using the

included drywall anchors and screws. Install the mounting plate with the correct

orientation. After the mounting plate is properly installed, connect the network cable to

the network LAN port of the access point, align the access point mounting holes with

the mounting plate clips and rotate the access point clockwise to lock into place. Finally,

install the cable guard by sliding it onto the mounting plate until it locks into place.
