Installing the W-118
This chapter contains the stepwise procedure to install the W-118 device.
Zero-Configuration of W-118 as Access Point
Zero-configuration is supported under the following conditions:
-
The device has no SSID configured.
-
A DNS entry wifi-security-server is set up on all the DNS servers. This entry should point to the IP address of the server. By default, the device looks for the DNS entry wifi-security-server.
-
The device is placed on a subnet that is DHCP enabled.
Take a configured W-118, that is, ensure that a static IP is assigned to the device or the settings have been changed for DHCP. Note down the MAC address and the IP address of the device in a safe place before it is installed in a hard-to-reach location. The MAC address of the device is printed on a label at the bottom of the product.
The steps to install the device with no configuration (zero-configuration) are as follows:
Mount the W-118
The steps to mount the W-118 are as follows:
Power On the W-118
The W-118 device can be powered on by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE (802.3af) switch or injector and the other end into the Ethernet/PoE port on the W-118. Ensure the PoE source you are using is turned ON.
As an alternative to PoE, you can insert a compatible power adaptor plug into an AC power outlet and the other end into the power input port on the W-118.
Using the W-118 with Power Adapter
- Plug the power cable into the DC power receptacle at the rear of the device.
- Plug the other end of the power cable into an 110V~240V 50/60 Hz AC power source.
- Wait until the device is ready. Refer to the LED details table.
Connect the W-118 to the Network
Connect the W-118 using PoE
If you are using a PoE injector, make sure the data connection is plugged into a suitable switch port with proper network connectivity.
