InstallationNETGEAR ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless AC Access PointWAC740Set Up the Access PointBefore mounting the access point in a high location, first set up and test the access point to verify WiFi network connectivity.IMPORTANT: You can deploy the WAC740 access point only in a WiFi network that is managed by a ProSAFE wireless controller. ¾To cable the access point:1. Connect an Ethernet cable from LAN port 1 on the access point to a LAN port on a PoE+ switch, that is, an 802.3at-compatible switch.2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE+ switch to an Ethernet port on the computer.3. Check the LEDs to verify that the access point is set up correctly.LED Description Power LED•O. Power is o.•Solid green. Power is on.•Alternating green and amber. The access point receives insucient PoE power.•Solid amber, then blinking amber. A self-test is running or firmware is being loaded. During startup, the Power LED first light solid amber, then goes o, and then blinks amber before turning solid green aer about one minute. If aer two minutes the Power LED remains solid amber or continues to blink amber, it indicates a system fault. Activity LED•O. No link with the network is detected.•Solid green.

If your network includes a DHCP server, the access point obtains an IP address from the DHCP server. If your network does not include a DHCP server, the access point sets its IP address to a static IP address of 192.168.0.160.If your network includes a DHCP server, note the following:• Make sure that option 43 is enabled on the DHCP server.• Make sure that the DHCP server specifies the IP address of the wireless controller. • We recommend that you reserve an IP address for the access point on the DHCP server.If your network does not include a DHCP server, configure a computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 so you can connect to the access point at IP address 192.168.0.160.2nd Draft WAC740 QSG
