Preface Package Contents
4ipnet EAP210 or OWL530 is a high-end
802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz/ 5GHz MIMO Selectable Dual
Band Access Point (AP) designed to maximize
deployment flexibility and feasibility for IT
administrators.
The difference of EAP210 and OWL530 are the
mounting method. EAP210 is a desktop device
while OWL530 is designed to be pole-mount.
Complying with the latest industrial wireless security
standards that are required in the tightly secured
enterprise network environments, the AP makes the
wireless communication fast, secure and easy. It
supports business-grade secure encryption -
802.1X and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and
WPA2) ; by pushing a purposely built button, the
4ipWES (Press-n-Connect) feature makes it easy
to bridge wireless links of multiple OWL530s for
forming a wider wireless network coverage.
EAP210 or OWL530 also features multiple ESSIDs
with VLAN tags and multiple Virtual APs; great for
enterprise applications, such as separating traffic
from different departments using different ESSIDs.
The PoE LAN port is able to receive power from
Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourcing devices. Its
metal case is IP68, which means that the is well
suited to WLAN deployment in industrial
environments.

asic setting of EAP210 or OWL530
4ipnet EAP210 or OWL530 supports web-based configuration. It is required to follow the respective installation
procedures provided to properly set up the desired mode for this system.
Default IP Address of Web Management Interface:
The default IP address and Subnet Mask for the AP is as follows:
Mode AP Mode
IP Address 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Step 1: IP Segment Setup for Administrator PC
Set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as the AP in TCP/IP of the administrator PC, such as the
following example. Do not duplicate the IP address used here with the IP address of the APor any other
devices within the same network.
>> Example of IP Segment:
The valid range of IP address is 1 ~ 254. However, 1 must be avoided as it is already used by the AP. Below
depicts an example of using 100 (the underlined value can be changed as desired).
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Step 2: Launch Web Browser
Launch a web browser to access the web management interface of AP mode by entering the default IP
address, http://192.168.1.1/, in the URL field, and then press Enter.
