Setting up a W-IAP
This chapter describes the following procedures:
l Setting up Instant Network on page 35
l Logging in to the Instant UI on page 37
l Accessing the Instant CLI on page 41
Setting up Instant Network
Before installing a W-IAP:
l Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable of the required length to connect a W-IAP to the home router.
l Ensurethat you have one of the following power sources:
n IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The PoE source can be any power source
equipment (PSE) switch or a midspan PSE device.
n W-IAP power adapter kit.
Perform the following procedures to set up the Instant network:
1. Connecting a W-IAP on page 35
2. Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP on page 35
3. Connecting to a Provisioning Wi-Fi Network on page 36
Connecting a W-IAP
Based on the type of the power source used, perform one of the following steps to connect a W-IAP to the power
source:
l PoE switch— Connect the ENET 0 port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch.
l PoE midspan— Connect the ENET 0 port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE midspan.
l AC to DC power adapter— Connect the 12V DC power jack socket to the AC to DC power adapter.
W-IAP155P supports PSE for 802.3at powered device (class 0-4) on one port (E1 or E2), or 802.3af powered DC IN
(Power Socket) on two ports (E1 and E2).
Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP
The W-IAP needs an IP address for network connectivity. When you connect a W-IAP to a network, it receives an IP
address from a DHCP server.
To obtain an IP address for a W-IAP:
1. Ensure that the DHCP service is enabled on the network.
2. Connect the ENET 0 port of W-IAP to a switch or router using an Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the W-IAP to a power source. The W-IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or router.
If there is no DHCP service on the network, the W-IAP can be assigned a static IP address. If a static IP is not
assigned, the W-IAP obtains an IPautomatically within the 169.254 subnet.
