01Network Topology RequirementsTypical topology for the EAP is described below. RouterInternetSwitchMaster EAP Slave EAPSlave EAPEnwuvgtTypical TopologyThe EAP120 and EAP220 provide two management modes: Cluster and Standalone. By default，the management mode is Cluster. In this mode, all the EAPs in the same LAN will form a Cluster, and a Master EAP will be elected among them to manage the other EAPs, called Slave EAPs.A DHCP server is required in the local network to assign IP addresses to the EAPs. A router usually acts as the DHCP server.Typically, a PoE switch can be used to provide Power over Ethernet for each EAP. Or, each EAP must be powered with a power adapter individually.

The device will restore to factory default settings.CONSOLEThis port is used to connect with the serial port of a computer or a terminal to check and monitor simple system information of the device.ETHERNET This port is for connection to a router or switch to transmit and receive data as well as to a PSE device for power supply. Power sourcing equipment (PSE) is a device such as a switch that provides power over Ethernet cables to linked devices.ON/OFFPress this button to power on/off the device. Please remember to press it to use the device.POWERThe power jack is for connection to the power adapter. Please use the power adapter provided. Refer to Powering Mode to learn how to power the device via PoE and power adapter.ARROW 1To align with ARROW 2 in the mounting bracket before the EAP locks into place. Please refer to Mounting Bracket to locate ARROW 2.
04Hardware InstallationThe EAP can be wall or ceiling mounted and can be powered via a PSE device or the provided adapter. Please suitably arrange your wire layout before the mounting.1. Installation RequirementsCheck and prepare the following items in the package for installation.One EAP One Mounting Bracket One Installation GuideThree Nuts/ Washers/ Plastic Extending Tubes/ Self-tapping Screws/ Pan Head ScrewsBesides the above installation kits, these tools may be needed for hardware installation: pencil, ruler, drill, hammer, screwdriver and ladder.2. Mounting BracketThe following figure describes the structure of the mounting bracket.Locking clipARROW 2, to align with ARROW 1 under the interface panelCeiling mounting slotWall mounting slotMounting Bracket
053. Installation ■Ceiling MountingNote: ■Make sure the thickness of the ceiling is less than 18mm and the ceiling can bear at least five kilograms. ■If the ceiling is made of low-strength material like gypsum, it is not recommended to mount the EAP on the ceiling. If it has to do, add a layer of strong material under the nut to ensure the EAP is mounted solidly.1. Remove the ceiling tile.Remove the Ceiling Tile2. Place the mounting bracket at the center of the ceiling tile. Mark the positions of three mounting slots and the hole for Ethernet cable to feed through.L≈40mmLMark of the Hole for Ethernet cable to feed throughMark the Positions

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and ceiling mounting is done. ■Wall MountingThere are two wall-mounting slots at the bottom of the EAP. To mount the EAP on a wall, please follow the steps below.1. Make two small pencil marks on the wall. The distance between the two marks should be 98.6mm.WallLL=98.6mmMark on the Wall
092. Use a drill bit to drill two holes through the center of your marks. The diameter of both holes should be 4mm.Wall4mm in diameterDrill Two Holes 3. Insert the plastic extending tubes into the 4mm holes and drive the screws into the tubes. 4. As Ceiling Mounting shows, press the EAP into the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise until it locks into place. 5. Simply hang your EAP and the wall mounting is done.4. Powering ModeThe EAP can be powered via a PSE device (e.g., a PoE switch) or a power adapter. ■Via PSE DeviceEAP220 TL-SG3424P21Power the EAP via a PoE

11Getting Started with the EAPHow do you quickly build a wireless network with several EAPs? The following content will instruct you on how to do network connection and software configurations on EAPs. Management host can be connected to the EAPs wirelessly or with wires. Wireless Login is recommended conveniently. Option 1: Wireless LoginRouter SwitchMaster EAP Slave EAPClusterManagement HostSlave EAPInternetSample Network Diagram for Wireless LoginStep 1: Power onPower on the EAPs. The EAP with system initialization first completed will be elected as the Master.
12Step 2: Wireless Access1. Make sure the management host is set to obtain IP address automatically.2. Join the wireless network. The default SSID and password are shown below.SSID: TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX or TP-LINK_5GHz_XXXXXX for EAP220; TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX for EAP120. XXXXXX is the last 6 characters of EAP's MAC address.Password: Password is empty.Step 3: Quick Setup1. Open a web browser and type in http://tplinkeap.net to log in to the EAP. The default user name and password are admin. In the Cluster mode, the login will be directed to the Master EAP.2. Create a new user name and password.3. Follow instructions step by step to complete Quick Setup.Congratulations! The above configurations on the Master EAP will be synchronized to all the other EAPs automatically.
