WAP-200 Quickstart
This quickstart guide shows you how to start up and test the WAP-200 intelligent wireless access point. For detailed configuration
and operating information, download the WAP-200 Administrator’s Guide from the Colubris Networks web site at www.colubris.com
(select Support and then Product Registration)
.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WIRELESS SECURITY: For easy access to the management interface through a wireless connection, the
WAP-200 ships with all wireless security options disabled. Colubris strongly recommends that once the unit is installed you enable a
wireless security option in order to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. For more information see the WAP-200
Administrator's Guide.
Hardware overview
Package contents
• WAP-200 unit
• Two 2.4 GHz (2 dBi) / 5 GHz (2 dBi) dual-mode omnidirectional
antennas
• Power adapter and power cord
• Mounting bracket
• Spring clip—if needed, insert into one of the screw holes in the
mounting bracket as shown to provide a tighter fit
Antennas
The WAP-200 has a single radio with two antennas. It can create a single
wireless cell. The antenna connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male
jacks. This means antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female
connectors with reverse polarity. Antennas can be either directly attached
or attached via a coax cable. Colubris recommends attaching to the MAIN
connector when using coax.
Reset button
• Press and release the button quickly to restart the WAP-200.
• To reset to factory default settings, press and hold the reset button
until the status lights begin to flash, then release.
Important: Resetting the WAP-200 deletes all your configuration settings, resets
the Administrator username and password to ‘admin’, and sets the IP address of
Port 1 via DHCP. If a DHCP server is not found connected to Port 1, the address
192.168.1.1 is assigned to Port 1 and the wireless port.
Installation
Important: Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar
with local regulations governing wireless devices.
Important: Shielded Ethernet cables must be used for all connections.
Note: Do not connect the Ethernet port directly to a metropolitan area
network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).
When mounting the WAP-200 on a wall, or ceiling ensure that
• The surface you attach the WAP-200 to and the fasteners you use are
able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)
• Cable pull (accidental or otherwise) does not make the unit exceed
the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit
Note: Only indoor operation on channels 36 to 48—5.15 to 5.25 GHz—
is allowed.
