Preface Package Contents
The 4ipnet EAP706 Wall Jack Access Point is an
on-the-wall as well as a ceiling-mounted dual radio
Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n + a/n/ac 2 X 2 MIMO
access point, designed to blend into a working or
a living environment practically and elegantly with
its simplistic yet sleek design.
The compact EAP706 in a small form factor lays
snug in a standard wall outlet box. Its side panel
features LED status indicators and two RJ45 ports.
It has the interfaces to serve both wireless and
wired LAN access. The RJ45 pass-through port
allows phone or IP-based devices to pass through
EAP706 without the need for additional outlets.
When coupled with the 4ipnet WHG series
Controller, the EAP706 supports Tunnel-based AP
Management, and comes with all standards
demanded by enterprise applications, including
business-grade security (802.1X, WPA and WPA2),
and multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags to separate
the traffics of different departments. A centralized
WLAN management allows enterprises and
organizations to support a wide array of value
added applications, such as load balancing,
bandwidth control, and access control. The
patent-pending 4ipWES (Press-n-Connect)
technology bridges multiple EAP706s at the touch
of a button, which enables a quick and automatic
WDS Easy Setup by pressing the WES button on
EAP706. Extending wireless network coverage is a
breeze, be it across conference rooms or along
hallways.
EAP706’s high performance, security and optimal
invisibility make it a perfect choice of wireless
connectivity for your business.

Hardware Installation
Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of EAP706:
Step 1. Place the EAP706 at the best location. The best location is usually at the center of your intended
wireless network. The EAP706 can be mounted on wall outlets or on any flat surface;
Step 2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Uplink port and the other end of the cable to a switch,
a router, or a hub; or use the 110 punchdown block as your uplink connection. The 110 punchdown
block may be connected with the following pin assignment:
Orange Blue
White Orange White Blue
Brown Green
White Brown White Green
The EAP706 is now connected to your existing wired LAN network.
Step 3. There are three ways to supply power to EAP706
a) Connect the DC power adaptor to the power jack socket.
b) The Uplink port is capable of receiving PoE. Connect an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSE device
(e.g. a PoE-switch) to the Uplink port of EAP706 with the Ethernet cable.
c) Use a standard 110 punchdown tool to punch copper wires onto the punchdown block (pin
assignment 568A)
Step 4. Fasten the Access Point to the mounting plate
a) Align the Access Point to the mounting plate using the arrow printed on the back of the Access
