Preface

Package

Contents

4ipnet EAP200 is a high-end 802.11n/b/g 2.4GHz

MIMO Access Point (AP) with the best price/

performance for business and industrial applications

and is compliant with the latest industrial wireless

security standards that are required in the tightly

secured enterprise network environments.

EAP200 makes the wireless communication fast,

secure and easy. It supports business grade

security such as 802.1X, and Wi-Fi Protected

Access (WPA and WPA2). By pushing a purposely

built button, the

4ipWES (Press-n-Connect)

feature makes it easy to bridge wireless links of

multiple EAP200s for forming wider wireless

network coverage.

EAP200 also features multiple ESSIDs with VLAN

tags and multiple Virtual APs; great for enterprise

applications, such as separating the traffics of

different departments using different ESSIDs. The

PoE LAN port can receive power from Power over

Ethernet (PoE) sourcing device. Its metal case is

IP50 anti-dust compliant, which means that EAP200

is well suited to WLAN deployment in industrial

environments.

Hardware Installation

Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of EAP200:

1. Place the EAP200 at a best location.

The best location for EAP200 is usually at the center of your wireless network.

2. Connect EAP200 to your network device.

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of EAP200 and the other end of the cable to a

switch, a router or a hub. EAP200 is then connected to your existing wired LAN network.

3. There are two ways to supply power over to EAP200.

(a)

Connect the

DC power adapter

to the EAP200 power socket.

Please only use the power adapter supplied with the EAP200 package. Using a different power
adapter may damage this system.

(b)

EAP200 LAN port is capable of transmitting DC currents. Connect an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSE

device, e.g. a PoE-switch, to the LAN port of EAP200 by the Ethernet cable.

Now, the Hardware Installation is completed.

To double verify the wired connection between EAP200 and your switch/router/hub, please
check the LED status indication of these network devices.

Getting Started

4ipnet EAP200 supports web-based configuration. Upon the completion of hardware installation, EAP200 can

be configured through a PC by using its web browser such as Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or Internet Explorer version

6.0 and above.

The default values of LAN IP address and subnet mask of EAP200 are:

IP Address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Steps:

1. To access the web management interface, connect the administrator PC to the LAN port of EAP200 via

an Ethernet cable. Then, set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as EAP200 in TCP/IP of your

PC, such as the following example:

IP Address: 192.168.1.100

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

2. Launch the web browser on your PC by entering the IP address of EAP200 (

http://192.168.1.1

) at the

address field, and then press

Enter
