on installing this product.
WARNING:
Please
carefully
select
the
installation position and make sure that the
final output power does not exceed the limit

Then, screw the connector cap tightly onto the port, so
the Access Point has a water-resistant seal.
If you want to connect an optional, high-gain external
5.
antenna, remove the cap that protects the antenna
port, then, connect your antenna cable to this port.
Make sure that you properly ground the Access Point.

Ground the Access Point
Line up the Access Point’s wall-mount slots with the
7.
two screws on the wall. Then, slide the Access Point
down so that the screws fit snugly in the slots.
Attach a screw (not included) in each of the two holes
8.
on the top of the mounting plate so that the Access
Point is securely mounted to the wall.
Attach the Access Point to the Wall
Connect the other end of the Ethernet network cable
9.
to a switch, router, or other device that supports Power
over Ethernet. The Access Point will then be connected
to your wired network.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to
“Chapter 5: Quick Configuration Overview” for directions

Chapter 5:
Quick Configuration
Overview
Overview
The Access Point has been designed to be functional right
out of the box with the default settings. However, if you’d
like to change these settings, the Access Point can be
configured through your web browser with the web-based
utility. This chapter explains how to use the utility.
The utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox through
the use of a computer that is networked with the Access
Point.
For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the
following screens of the Utility:
Setup
•
On the Setup screen, enter your basic network
settings (IP address) here.
Management
•
Click the
Administration
tab and then
select the
Management
screen. The Access Point’s
default password is
admin
. To secure the Access Point,
change the AP Password from its default.
Most users will also customize their wireless settings:
Wireless
•
On the Wireless screen, change default SSID
under the
Basic Wireless Settings
tab. Select the level of
security under the
Wireless Security
tab.
Accessing the Web-Based Utility
There are two ways to power your Access Point.
48V Power Injector (e.g. Linksys WAPPOE)
•
Power
up your Access Point first then connect the cable on
your Injector to your PC.
PoE switch (e.g. Linksys SRW224P)
•
Connect your
Access Point and your PC to the same LAN.
To access the web-based utility, perform the following
steps:
Configure
your
PC
with
a
static
IP
address
in
the
1.
same subnet as the Access Point’s default IP address
(192.168.1.245). If there is DHCP server connected
to the switch, configure it to assign the IP address in
192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Your PC will get an IP address
in the subnet through the DHCP.
Launch your web browser, such as Internet Explorer or
2.
Mozilla Firefox and enter the Access Point’s default IP
address,
192.168.1.245
, in the Address field. Press the
Enter key.
Enter
3.
admin
in the User Name field. The first time
you open the Web-based Utility, use the default
password,
admin
. (You can set a new password from
Administration
>
Management
) Then click the
OK
button.
After setting up the Access Point to use DHCP or manually
configure a new IP address, move your Access Point to the
desired network. You will have to use the new IP address
the next time you access the Web-based Utility.
Navigating the Web-Based Utility
The web-based utility consists of the following five main
tabs:
Setup
,
Wireless
,
AP Mode

used to access the Web Utility through the network if DNS
has been set up. The device name is for the benefit of
identifying your Access Point after you log in.
Setup
Host Name
This is the host name assigned to the Access
Point. This host name will be published to your DNS server
if the Access Point is configured to acquire the IP address
through DHCP. In that case, Linksys recommends to follow
the company policy on the host name assignment. The
default name is Linksys.
Device Name
You may assign any device name to
the Access Point. This name is only used by the Access
Point administrator for identification purposes. Unique,
memorable names are helpful, especially if you are
employing multiple access points on the same network.
The default name is
WAP200E
.
Network Setup
The selections under this heading allow you to configure
the Access Point’s IP address setting(s).
