Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual IPv6 IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero or altogether omitted. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address: • More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets • More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet • More than two colons in a row Install and Configure the Access Point Install and configure your access point in the order of the following sections: 1. Connect the Access Point to a Computer on page 15 2. Log In to the Access Point on page 16 3. Disable Business Central Mode for a Standalone Access Point on page 19 4. Configure Basic General System Settings on page 20 5. Configure Time Settings on page 22 6. Configure the IPv4 Settings on page 23 7. Configure the Basic WiFi Settings on page 24 Before installing the access point, make sure that your Ethernet network functions. After you connect the access point to the Ethernet network, computers that support 802.11b/g/a/n/ac are able to communicate with the Ethernet network. For this to work correctly, verify that you meet all the system requirements, shown in What You Need Before You Begin on page 13. Connect the Access Point to a Computer Tip Before you place the access point in an elevated position that is difficult to reach, first set up and test the access point to verify WiFi network connectivity. To set up the access point: 1. Unpack the box and verify the contents. 2. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. 3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the computer. 4. Securely insert the other end of the cable into the access point's Ethernet port. 5. Turn on your computer. Initial Setup 15
