Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual 6. Connect the access point to a PoE switch or power adapter. Tip The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) with power redundancy. If you are using a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use a power adapter to power the access point. Using PoE can be especially convenient when the access point is installed in a high location far away from a power outlet. 7. Verify that the LEDs functions as indicated in the following table: LED Description Power/Test LED. The Power/Test LED blinks when the access point is first turned on. (To be exact, during startup, the LED is first steady amber, then goes off, and then blinks green.) After about 45 seconds, the LED stays lit (steady green). If after one minute the Power/Test LED is not lit or is still blinking, check the connections and see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is turned off. Active LED. The Active LED is lit or blinks green when Ethernet traffic is detected. LAN LED. The LAN LED indicates the LAN speed for LAN port 1: green for 1000 Mbps, amber for 100 Mbps, and no light for 10 Mbps. If the LAN LED is not lit, make sure that the Ethernet cable is securely attached at both ends. 2.4 GHz WLAN LED. The 2.4 GHz WLAN LED is lit or blinks green when the WiFi LAN (WLAN) is ready. 5 GHz WLAN LED. The 5 GHz WLAN LED is lit or blinks green when the WiFi LAN (WLAN) is ready. Log In to the Access Point The default IP address of your access point is 192.168.0.100. By default, the access point functions as a DHCP client. If the access point is installed in a network that includes a DHCP server, the IP address of the access point is issued by the DHCP server. You can find the IP address of the access point by accessing the DHCP server or by using an IP address scanner utility. (Free IP address scanner utilities are available online.) If you must configure the access point with a static IPv4 address, see the steps in Log In to the Access Point When It Is Directly Connected to Your Computer on page 17 and Configure the IPv4 Settings on page 23.
