WAP-200 Quickstart
This guide shows you how to start up WAP-200 intelligent wireless access point.
For detailed configuration and operating information
see
the WAP-200 Administrator ‘s Guide, which is availa
ble on the Colubris Networks documentation CD or at www.colubris.com
(select Support and then Product Registration).
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WIRELESS SECURITY: To provide easy wireless access to the management interface, 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
to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. For more information see the administrator's guide.
Hardware overview
Package contents
• WAP-200 unit
• Two 2.4-GHz (2-dBi) / 5-GHz (2-dBi)
dual-mode omnidirectional antennas
• Mounting bracket
• Documentation CD
• 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 jacks.
Antennas or cable connectors must use RP-SMA plugs.
Antennas can be attached directly or attached to the MAIN connector
using a coax cable.
Reset button
•To restart the WAP-200, press and quickly release the reset button.
•To reset to factory default settings, press and hold the reset button
until the status lights flash three times, then release.
Caution! Resetting the WAP-200 to factory defaults deletes all configuration
settings, resets the administrator username and password to admin, and sets
the IP address of port 1 through 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
Caution! Installation must be performed by a professional installer who is
familiar with local regulations governing wireless devices.
Caution! Shielded Ethernet cables must be used for all connections. Do not
connect the Ethernet ports 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 can
support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds).
• Cable pull, accidental or otherwise, does not make the unit exceed the
5.1 kg limit (11.25 pounds).
If the WAP-200 is installed inside a plenum, plenum-rated cables and
attachment hardware must be used. Only the WAP-200 and appropriate
cabling can be located in the plenum. PoE injectors available separately
from Colubris Networks cannot be installed inside a plenum.
