1.3.APDeployment



1.3.1DeployinganAPwithDynamicIPAddressing(DHCP)

IfyournetworkautomaticallyassignsIP

addresses(DHCPservice),connecttheAP

directlytothenetworkbypluggingan

EthernetcableintotheLANportonthe

bottomoftheaccesspoint.

Somenetworksaredesignedtoprovide

powerviaan802.3afEthernetswitch.Iftheis

thecase,youwillneedtouseaconvertorto

providethe24VrequiredbytheAP.

Otherwise,insertthecable’sotherendinto

the24VPoEpoweradapterportlabeledPoE.



QIG2012

Next,plugtheEthernetcableintothepoweradapterportlabeledLAN

theninsertthecable’sotherendintoyour

existingswitchorrouterwithInternet

connectivity.Lastly,connectthepowercable

forthe24VPoEpoweradapterintoanoutlet

andpoweruptheadapter.

Thereisnofurthersetupnecessary,aslong

astheAPcanaccesstheInternet.TheAP

willautomaticallyselfconfigureandbeready

touseinseveralminutes.Youcan

reconfigureittoastaticIPusingthe

CloudCommandinterfaceanytimeinthefuture.



Note1:Fornetworkfirewalls,usethefollowingOUTBOUNDtrafficon

ports:53(DNS),80(HTTP),443(HTTPS),and3478(STUN).Thesesettings

arestandarddefaultsforthelargemajorityoffirewalls.

Note2:Ifcontentfilteringandnetworktrafficmonitoringsoftwarearein

use,ensurethefollowingentriesarewhitelisted:

1.3.2DeployinganAPwithoutDynamicIPAddressing(DHCP)

IfyournetworkdoesnotautomaticallyassignIPaddresses(NoDHCP

service),followthesesteps:



Step1:ConnecttheAPdirectlytoyourcomputerusinganEthernetcable

andprovidepower.(DoNOTconnectittotheLAN.)



Step2:ConfiguretheEthernetconnectionofyourcomputerasfollows:

‐IPAddress:192.168.101.50

‐SubnetMask:255.255.255.0



Step3:LaunchawebbrowserandtypethedefaultIPaddressoftheAP

(http://192.168.101.55).EnterthefollowingUserNameandPassword:

‐UserName:admin

‐Password:password



Step4:Usingthedropdownmenu,select“NetworkConfiguration.”

Select“static”andcompletetheIPaddress,Netmask,GatewayandDNS

serversinfobasedonwhatyouractualnetworkutilizes.Click“Saveand

Apply.”

Step5:TheAPisnowconfigured.Select“Logout”anddisconnecttheAP

fromyourcomputer.



QIG2012

Step6:BEFOREconnectingtheAPtotheLAN,logintoyouraccount.On

thedashboard,selectthetab,“NetworkManager”andsub‐tab“Access

Points.”FindyourAP,select“Actions”fromthedropdownmenuand

choose“EditIP.”



Step7:Select“Static”andsetthesamestaticIPconfigurationonthe

CloudCommandinterfaceasintheAP.Bothsettingswillmatch,andthe

connectionwillbemade(recommended).

Alternately,select“Local.”ThissettingallowstheAP’slocal

configurationtobeusedandacceptedbyCloudCommandtoconnectto

thenetwork.

Step8:ConnecttheAPtothelocalareanetwork.Itwillautomatically

receiveitsconfigurationfromCloudCommandasitconnectstothe

Internet.Configurationrequiresseveralminutes.TheAPbecomes

operationalwithitsstatuschangesto“OK”toindicateitisproperly

functioning.

Appendix1–APStatusLevels



TheAPhasmultipleCloudCommandstatuslevelswhichenableyouto

monitoritsreal‐timeconditionandactivity.ViewanAP’sstatuslogin

the“AccessPoints”sectionoftheCloudCommanddashboard.Sixstatus

levels:



Registered:APwassuccessfullyregisteredbuthasnotyetconnectedto

CloudCommand.

Starting:Theinitialconfigurationisoccurring.Itrequiresseveralminutes,during

whichtimetheAPisofflineandunabletobroadcast.Thestatusshouldprogress

from“Starting”to“OK.”Startingmayoccurformultiplereasons,includingdevice

managementandsettingschanges.

OK/OK:APisoperational.AnupwardarrowindicatesthattheAPiscurrently

communicatingwiththeCloudCommandServer.Itisnormalbehavior.

Upgrading:TheAPisexecutingafirmwareupgrade.DONOTDISCONNECTfrom

powerorInternetconnection.

NetDegraded:NetworkconnectivitytotheInternetispoor.TheAPoperates

properly,butresponsivenessmaybedelayed.Ifconditionsimprove,thestatus

revertsto“OK.”

Unmanageable:APisnotcommunicatingproperlywiththeCloudCommandservice

forover4minutesalthoughitisstilloperational.TheAPisnotdisconnected.

However,managementisunavailable.IftheAPmovestothisstatethefirsttimeit

isconnected,itmayindicateyourfirewallsettingsmayneedstobeadjusted.This

stateifreachedafteraperiodofproperoperationmayindicateissueswithyour

Internetserviceorhardwareproblemssuchasafailedswitchorrouter.

Disconnected:APisnotcommunicatingwiththeCloudCommandsite.Reasons

includenoInternetconnectivityorimproperfirewallconfigurations.



Additionally,thehardwareunithastwostatuslevels.Whenitshalo

glowsgreen,itisoperational.Whenitglows/flashesamber,thereisa

connectivityissue.
