reset or service required.

Port and Button

Power Port - Connect the AC power adapter to this port.

NOTE: Use only the adapter that came with your access point.

Ethernet Port - Connect a wired network device to this port. This port supports

PoE (Power over Ethernet) with a PoE switch or PoE injector. LAPAC1750 can be

powered on from an 802.3at(PoE+) compliance source.

NOTE: When both PoE and AC power adapter are connected to access point,

device will get power from PoE as higher precedence.

Using Cat5e or better cable is highly recommended.

Reset Button - Press and hold this button for less than 15 seconds to power

cycle device. Press and hold for longer than 15 seconds to reset the device to

factory default settings.

CHAPTER 1 Quick Start Guide

Linksys

Mounting Guide

To avoid overheating, do not install your access point if ambient temperatures

exceed 104°F (40°C). Install on a flat, stable surface, near the center of your

wireless coverage area making sure not to block vents on the sides of the device

enclosure.

Wall Installation

1. Position drilling layout template at the desired location.

2. Drill four screw holes on the mounting surface. If your Ethernet cable is

routed behind the wall, mark Ethernet cable hole as well.

3. Secure the mounting bracket on the wall with anchors and screws.

4. If your Ethernet cable is routed behind the wall, cut or drill the Ethernet

cable hole you marked in Step 2. Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole.

5. Connect the Ethernet cable and/or AC power adapter to your device.

6. Slide the device into the bracket. Turn clockwise until it locks into place.

Ceiling Installation

1. Select ceiling tile for mounting and remove tile.

2. Position drilling layout template at the desired location.

3. Drill four screw holes and Ethernet cable hole on the surface of ceiling tile.

4. Place back plate on the opposite side of ceiling tile. Secure mounting

bracket to the ceiling tile with flathead screw and nut. Route the Ethernet

cable through the Ethernet cable hole.

5. Replace tile in ceiling.

6. Connect the Ethernet cable and/or AC power adapter to your device

7. Slide the device into the bracket. Turn access point clockwise until it locks.

IMPORTANT

Improper or insecure mounting could result in damage to the device or personal

injury. Linksys is not responsible for damages caused by improper mounting.

CHAPTER 2 Access Point Setup

CHAPTER 2 Access Point Setup

Overview

This chapter describes the setup procedure to connect the wireless access point

to your LAN, and configure it as an access point for your wireless stations.

Wireless stations may also require configuration. For details, see Appendix C -

Wireless Station Configuration.

The wireless access point can be configured using a Web browser.

Setup using a Web Browser

Your browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been

tested on the following browsers:

• Firefox3.5orlater,Chrome8orlater,Safari5orlater

• InternetExplorer7orlater

Setup Procedure

Make sure device is powered on before you continue setup. If LED light is off,

check that AC power adapter, or PoE cable, is properly connected on both ends.

Access device’s browser-based setup:

1. Use the included cable to connect the access point to your network via a

network switch or router.

2. Open a web browser on a computer connected to your network. Enter the

IP address of your access point. By factory default, the IP address will be

assigned by a DHCP server (usually the network router). If there is no DHCP

server on your network, the default IP address is 192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0.

Note: Use a computer hardwired to the same network as your access point for

browser-based setup access. Access to browser-based setup via WiFi is disabled

by default.

3. Type in default username: “admin”, and password: “admin”.

4. Click Log in to launch the browser-based setup and follow the on-screen

instructions

Figure 1: Password Dialog

IF YOU CAN’T CONNECT:

It is likely that your PC’s IP address is incompatible with the wireless

access point’s IP address. This can happen if your LAN does not

have a DHCP Server. If there is no DHCP server in your network, the

access point will fall back to its default IP address: 192.168.1.252,

with a network mask of 255.255.255.0.

Or, if your PC’s IP address is not compatible with this, you must

change your PC’s IP address to an unused value in the range

192.168.1.1 ~ 192.168.1.254, with a network mask of 255.255.255.0.

See Appendix A - Windows TCP/IP for details for this procedure.

6. Set the SSID information on the Wireless Network screen. Click Next.

Figure 5: Setup Wizard - Wireless Network

7. On the Wireless Security Screen (Figure 6) configure the wireless security

settings for the device. Click Next. If you are looking for security options that

are not available in the wizard, go to Configuration →Wireless →Security

page. The access point supports more sophisticated security options there.
