(You can find the QR code in its web configurator or on a label on the device or its box.)Note: The WAX610D will go into cloud management mode automatically and restart after it is registered to a site.

STANDALONE MANAGEMENT

From a WiFi enabled computer, search for the WAX610D’s default WiFi network name (Zyxel-xxxx, where xxxx is the last four characters of the MAC address) and connect to it. Open your web browser and enter “http://1.1.1.1” for initial configuration. Enter the default user name (admin) and password (1234). Click Login.Note: If the WAX610D cannot connect to the Internet, use the DHCP-assigned IP address of the WAX610D to access its web configurator. Check the connected router or DHCP server for the IP address of the WAX610D.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the UPLINK port of the WAX610D through a PoE injector or PoE switch. Use its DHCP-assigned IP or default static IP address “http://192.168.1.2” to access the web configurator. Make sure your computer IP address is in the same subnet as the WAX610D’s.
The wizard appears automatically. Use the wizard to set up your WAX610D.Note: It takes 1 to 2 minutes to apply your wizard changes. The power LED will blink red and green alternatively. The power and WiFi LEDs then turn steady green when the system is ready. Check the Dashboard screen and note down the WAX610D’s IP address in case you need to access it’s web configurator again.Note : The 11.1.1 is for initial setup only. It is not usable after the WAX610D is configured.
Use the WAX610D’s new wireless settings (SSID and key) to re-connect to the WAX610D’s WiFi network for Internet access if you change them in the wizard.
