Scenario 1: Set up WiFi network without a management device for IP-COM AP
Scenario 3: Set up WiFi network with an IP-COM router that can manage APs
Tip:If you have more than one AP, connect one AP to your PoE switch and perform
steps ❶ to ❹ for it first. Then connect and configure other APs one by one.
1Connect devices
Connect your AP to a PoE port of the PoE switch using an Ethernet cable.
Refer to the following figure for detailed connection.
After finishing connection, ensure that the AP's LED indicator blinks and
the lower-right network icon on your computer is not displayed .
Configure the IP address of your computer（Example: Win7)
Right-click the network icon on the lower-right corner of your computer.
Click Open Network and Sharing Center, Local Area Connection, and then
Properties. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), select
Use the following IP address, set IP address to 192.168.0.x (x: 2 to 253.

well, and click Save.
4Change the IP address of the AP
Click Network>LAN Setup. Change the IP address of the AP to
192.168.0.x (x: 2 to 253), and ensure that the new IP address has not
been used in this network, then click Save. For example, you can set
the new IP address of the first AP to 192.168.0.201, and the new IP
address of the second AP to 192.168.0.202.
Wait a moment for the settings to take effect. Now you can access the
internet by connecting your wireless devices to the AP's WiFi network.
WiFi name: The SSID you set in step .
WiFi password: The key you set in step .
Scenario 2: Set up WiFi network with an IP-COM AP Controller
1Connect devices
Use Ethernet cables to connect APs to the PoE ports of the switch, and
your computer to the IP-COM AP Controller (AC). Refer to the following
figure for detailed connection.
2ConfigureAPs
In order to configure your APs, start a web browser on your
computer and log in to the web UI of the AC. Refer to your
AC's user guide for detailed configuration instructions.

* Tip: If you cannot log in to the web UI of the AP, refer to Q1 in FAQ.
Q1: I cannot access the web UI of the AP after entering 192.168.0.254.
What should I do?
A1: Try the following solutions and log in again:
Ensure that all your Ethernet cables are properly connected.
If there is no AC or IP-COM router in the network, ensure that the IP address of your
computer has been set to 192.168.0.x (x: 2 to 253), and the IP address is not used by any
other devices in the same network.
Clear the cache of your web browser or replace the web browser.
Disable the firewall of your computer or replace your computer.
If two or more APs are connected in the network without an AC / IP-COM management
router, an IP address conflict may happen. You should leave only one AP in the network first
and set a new IP address 192.168.0.x (x: 2 to 253) for the AP. Then repeat this procedure to
change the IP addresses of the other APs. Meanwhile, make sure that the IP address of
your computer is in the same network segment with your APs' new IP addresses. Then try
logging in to the web UI of your APs using their new IP addresses.
If the AP has been managed by the AC or IP-COM router in the network, the AP's IP
address may be no longer 192.168.0.254. In that case, go to the web UI of the AC / router
to view the new IP address of the AP, and then log in to the AP's web UI using the new
IP address.
If the problem still persists, hold the RESET button down for 8 seconds to restore the AP
to factory settings, and then try logging in again.
Q2: My AP controller (AC) cannot find my AP. What should I do?
A2: Check the following items:
Ensure that all the devices in the network are connected well and the LED of the AP blinks.
If VLANs have been set in your network, ensure that the AP belongs to the same VLAN as
that of your AC.
Reboot your AP.
Ensure that the firmware versions of your AP and AC are the latest firmware versions
available on www.ip-com.com.cn
Reset your AP.
Method to reset: When the SYS indicator blinks, hold down the RESET button for about
8 seconds. The AP is reset successfully when the SYS indicator gets solid on.
1Connect devices
Use Ethernet cables to connect APs to the PoE ports of the switch, and
your computer to the IP-COM router. Refer to the following figure for
detailed connection.
Connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better) to
the LAN port of the AP. If you choose to power
on the AP by DC supply, connect the PWR port
of the AP using the power adapter included in
the package.
