Do you have a question about the Planet WNAP-7335 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document provides a comprehensive guide for the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the PLANET WNAP-7335, a 300Mbps 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE. It is designed to assist users in setting up and operating the device effectively, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The guide emphasizes safety precautions, hardware installation steps, initial web-based configuration, and basic troubleshooting, making it an essential resource for both new and experienced users.

Function Description

The PLANET WNAP-7335 is a robust 300Mbps 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) designed for reliable wireless connectivity in outdoor environments. Its primary function is to provide high-speed wireless access over a wide area, making it suitable for various applications such as extending network coverage, point-to-point wireless links, or providing Wi-Fi access in outdoor public spaces. The device supports the 802.11a/n wireless standards, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of wireless devices and offering efficient data transfer rates. As an outdoor CPE, it is built to withstand challenging environmental conditions, providing stable and continuous operation where indoor-grade equipment would fail. The WNAP-7335 integrates Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, simplifying installation by allowing both power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, which is particularly advantageous for outdoor deployments where power outlets may be scarce or difficult to access. This design choice reduces cabling complexity and installation costs, enhancing the device's versatility. The device also features multiple LED indicators for power, LAN activity, and signal strength, providing immediate visual feedback on its operational status and aiding in troubleshooting. A reset button is included for easy restoration to factory default settings, offering a convenient recovery option in case of misconfiguration. The WNAP-7335 is designed to be a critical component in outdoor wireless networks, delivering consistent performance and robust connectivity.

Usage Features

The WNAP-7335 offers several usage features that streamline its deployment and operation. The package includes the WNAP-7335 unit, a quick guide, a PoE injector, a power cord, and plastic straps, providing all necessary components for a basic setup. The PoE injector is crucial for powering the device, allowing for flexible placement without the need for a nearby power outlet. Users are explicitly instructed to use only the provided PoE injector and power cord to prevent damage to the unit. For outdoor installations, the device is designed for pole mounting, utilizing the included plastic straps for secure attachment. This method ensures stability and optimal positioning for wireless signal propagation.

Before powering on the device, users must connect an external antenna to the RP-SMA connectors. This step is critical, as powering on the WNAP-7335 without an antenna connected can lead to damage. The manual emphasizes the importance of a proper and well-installed surge arrestor and grounding to protect against lightning damage, which is not covered under warranty. This highlights the device's intended use in outdoor environments where such protections are essential.

Initial configuration is performed via a web-based user interface. Users connect their PC to the WNAP-7335 via the PoE injector, then access the device's default IP address (192.168.1.253) through a web browser. The default login credentials (username: admin, password: admin) provide access to the configuration settings. The guide walks users through setting up their PC's IP address to be compatible with the device's default IP, ensuring successful access to the web interface. Once logged in, users can configure various wireless network settings, including the SSID (default: WNAP-7335), to customize their network. The web interface is intuitive, allowing for easy management of the wireless AP. The device's design, with its sliding cover for port access, ensures that connections are protected from environmental elements once installed, contributing to its outdoor durability.

Maintenance Features

The PLANET WNAP-7335 incorporates several features that facilitate its maintenance and ensure long-term reliability. The LED indicators on the rear panel provide immediate visual feedback on the device's status. The Power LED indicates if the device is receiving power, while the LAN 1 and LAN 2 LEDs show activity on the Ethernet ports. A dedicated Signal Indicator helps users assess the strength of the wireless signal, which is particularly useful during initial antenna alignment and for ongoing performance monitoring. These indicators allow for quick diagnosis of basic operational issues without needing to access the web interface.

For more advanced troubleshooting or configuration changes, the web-based user interface is the primary tool. It allows users to monitor device information, wireless information, LAN information, Internet information, uptime, CPU loading, memory information, and system logs. This comprehensive overview helps administrators keep track of the device's health and performance. The ability to view the system log is particularly useful for identifying and diagnosing issues that may not be immediately apparent.

The inclusion of a reset button on the bottom panel offers a straightforward method to restore the device to its factory default settings. This is an invaluable feature for recovering from misconfigurations or for preparing the device for redeployment. However, users are advised to change the default password upon the first login for security reasons, a crucial maintenance practice to prevent unauthorized access.

The device's robust outdoor design, including its protected ports and durable casing, inherently reduces the need for frequent physical maintenance in harsh environments. The use of PoE simplifies cabling, which in turn minimizes potential points of failure related to power connections. The manual also highlights the importance of proper grounding and surge protection, which are critical for preventing damage from lightning and electrical surges, thereby extending the device's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs associated with repairs or replacements. Regular checks of the physical connections, especially the antenna and grounding wires, are recommended to ensure continued protection and optimal performance. For further configurations and advanced operation modes, the user manual, available for download from the PLANET website, serves as a detailed resource, supporting ongoing maintenance and optimization efforts.
