Before you start

Further information

This getting started guide enables you to set up your 950AP in order

to connect Bluetooth devices to it wirelessly. For more advanced

information, refer to the 950AP User Guide on the Red-M website,

www.red-m.com.

The getting started guide describes how to complete the installation of

typical corporate and home configurations. Follow the procedures that

most closely describe your setup.

Requirements

To complete the installation of your 950AP, you need:

• An IP Ethernet network.

• Category 5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 plugs.

• The DC 12 V power adapter (included).

• If mounting to a wall or ceiling:

- Two screws

- A mounting bracket (included)

- A screwdriver

Installing the 950AP

Decide where you want to position your 950AP(s). We recommend

installing to a wall for superior Bluetooth coverage (see Figure 3). For

optimum Bluetooth performance, install the 950AP in direct line-of-

sight with connecting devices, avoiding obstacles such as walls or

partitions. Ensure your wall (or ceiling) can support the 950AP’s

weight (around 200g or 7oz.).

Next, install the power cable and the Ethernet cable to connect to the

950AP(s). Cabling requirements depend on whether you have a single

950AP connected to an Ethernet port or multiple 950APs connected in

a star-wire configuration. Complete the cable installation before you

fix the 950AP to a wall or ceiling.

The 950AP is powered by a 12V adapter connected to the mains

electricity. You may need to consider this when positioning the 950AP

and installing the cables.

Corporate installations

To connect a single 950AP to the LAN

1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable to the 950AP’s Network

port using RJ-45 connectors.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on your

LAN.

Note: Some jurisdictions require special wiring if installing

cables into a ceiling cavity. They may also have special

conditions about installing products on a ceiling or installing the

power adapter. If in doubt, contact your local authority.

S ta r-w i r e i ns t a l l a t i on s A star-wire connection for multiple 950APs uses an Ethernet switch or hub to connect 950APs to the LAN. Figure 1: Star-wire configuration To connect to the LAN in a star-wire configuration 1. 2. Connect Category 5 Ethernet cables to the Network port of each 950AP using RJ-45 connectors. Connect the other end of each cable into an Ethernet hub/switch. Ho m e i n s ta l l a ti o n To connect a single 950AP for home use 1. 2.

C onn e c t i ng p o we r The 950AP is connected to the mains electricity supply via a 12V d.c. power adapter and country-specific power cable (both supplied). Depending on your building configuration, you may need to fit the adapter and cable inside a wall or ceiling cavity when you install the 950AP. 1. 2. Connect the power cable to your mains electricity supply and to the 12V adapter. When you are ready to configure the 950AP, insert the end of the 12V adapter cable into the its power port.

C o n f ig u r in g th e 95 0 AP 950APs are configured and managed via a web browser. Up to 32 users and 32 devices can be configured to connect securely to the 950AP, with up to seven devices connecting simultaneously. Once you have installed the 950AP, you can begin the short configuration process. You can complete the setup over Bluetooth or using an Ethernet connection. To configure the 950AP using Bluetooth: 1. 2. 3. 4.

In i ti a l C o nf i g u ra ti o n The first time you access the 950AP’s management interface, you need to set the administrator password, specify how IP addresses will be assigned and set the security level on the Initial Configuration screen. You can complete this with an Ethernet connection or wirelessly using Bluetooth. Figure 5: Initial Configuration screen Initial Configuration for corporate installation 1. 2. 3. 4. Enter a name for the 950AP if you want to easily recognize it.

5. Select a security level for your 950AP. If you select Secure, the unit will be discoverable, but only manually configured devices will be able to connect. Select Insecure to have the 950AP automatically authorize any device. Note: If you configure the 950AP using a Bluetooth device and select Secure, the device is automatically added to the Devices list and authorized to connect. See the the 950AP User Guide on the Red-M website for more information. 6.

Initial Configuration for home installation Refer to Figure 5 for the Initial Configuration screen. 1. 2. 3. Enter a name for the 950AP if you want to easily recognize it. Enter an administrator password (16 characters maximum) and then confirm the password. Ensure Network Address Translation (NAT) for the 950AP is selected. By default NAT is enabled. Note: NAT must be enabled in a home environment to translate IP addresses over a Wide Area Network (WAN).

Re a d i ng t he L ED The 950AP has a multi-color LED indicator to show the unit’s status and locate it in Identify mode. LED startup sequence 1. When you connect to a power source, the 950AP’s LED is orange for about a second to indicate it is receiving power. 2. The LED flashes orange for a few seconds to indicate that the 950AP is starting up and conducting self-tests. If any tests fail, the LED changes to steady orange to indicate a fatal error. 3.
