Installation

WAC720
WAC730

Before mounting the access point in a high location, first set up and test the 
unit to verify wireless network connectivity.

Note: 

The access point uses a DHCP client that is enabled by default. If a DHCP 

server exists in your network, the access point obtains an IP address from the 
DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not detected in your network, the access point 
sets its IP address to a static IP address of 192.168.0.100.

1.  If a DHCP server is not connected to your network, configure a 

computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and a subnet mask 

of 255.255.255.0.

2.  Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the access point to a 

LAN port on a PoE switch.

3.  Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to a Ethernet port on 

the computer.

4.  Check the LEDs to verify that the access point is set up correctly.
