TRENDNET WiFi Outdoor Directional Installation Guide

Before You Start

Package Contents

• TEW-840AP60
• Quick Installation Guide
• Proprietary/ Passive PoE injector (24V DC. 0.6A)
• Mounting Hardware

Minimum Requirements

• Computer wkli a network port and web browser
• A network switch or router with an available network IAN port
• Additional TEW-8400280 HAY: vl wireless AC867 directional access point
• 4 x RJ-45 network cables

Note:The TEW.840APB0 does not support IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standards. You must use the propnetanfipassive power over Ethernet injector that is supplied with the TEW-840AP8O. This installation guide will walk you through the installation and configuration of two TEW-840AP80 access points to establish a wireless point to point bridge using WDS (wireless distribution system). The RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the passive PoE injector and access point can have a maximum length of up to 60 m (197 ft.).

Hardware Setup and Configuration

Note:

• The default IP address of the TEW-840AP80 is 192.168.10.100. To configure the TEW.840APBO. your network adapter must have an IP address within the 192.168.10.x subnet (e.g. 192.168.10.10). Please refer to the Appendix in the Users Guide for more Information.
• The initial configuration should be completed in a testing environment with two TEW-840APB0 access points approximately 15 ft. (5 m) apart from one another with the front of the access points directly facing each other.
• Configure and corned the access points before mounting.
• The configuration example in this guide will use the default/standard TEW-840APB0 channel access mode CSMA. More details can be found in the users guide about TOMA channel access mode which is also supported by the TEW-840AP80 wireless AP.

3. Using a network cable, connect one end of the cable to the LAN1(poE) port.
4. Connect the other end of the network cable to the PoE port on the included PoE injector.
5. Using another network cable, connect one end to the LAN port on the included PoE injector.
6. Connect the other end of the network cable to your computers Ethernet port.
7. Attach the power cord to the PoE injector and plug tre connected power cord into a power outlet.
8. Confirm the device is powered on through the LEO indicators.
9. Assign a static IP address to your computers network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.10.x (e.g. 192.168.10.10) and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
10. Open your web browser and type the IP address of the access point In the address bar, then Pre% Enter. The default IP address is 192.168.10.100.
11. When prompted, login to the browser configuration page using the default user name and password settings.User Name: adminPassword: adminNote: Me User Name and Password are case sensitive
12. In the left hand menu under System Manager click on Account
