22 AP6562 Access Point

3 Basic Access Point Configuration

Once the Access Point is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to get the device up and running

and access management functions:

1. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a controller with an 802.3af compatible power source

or use the designated outdoor rated power supply (AP-PSBIAS-7161-US or AP-PSBIAS-7161-WW) to

supply power to the AP6562 (once fully cabled).

If your host system is a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to the Access Point and can

be used for device connection. However, if a DHCP server is not available, you’ll need to derive the IP

address from the Access Point MAC address. Using this method, the last two bytes of the MAC address

become the last two octets of the IP address. For example:

MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A

Zero-Config IP address - 169.254.240.10

To derive the Access Point’s IP address using its MAC address:

a. Open the Windows calculator be selecting Start > All Programs > Accessories > Calculator. This menu

path may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows.

b. With the Calculator displayed, select View > Scientific. Select the Hex radio button.

c. Enter a hex byte of the Access Point’s MAC address. For example, F0.

d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for the last

Access Point MAC address octet.

2. Point the Web browser to the Access Point’s IP address. The following login screen displays:

1 ... 21 22 23 ... 48
