Lightning and ESD Protection
Before mounting the EAP, you should consider Lightning and
ESD Protection to ensure safety.
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. By
using a shielded CAT5e (or above) cable for connection, you can
reduce the damage of ESD attacks.
Hardware Installation

The EAP can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted. Follow the
steps below for the appropriate installation.
Option 1: Pole Mounting
Lead the end of the pole mounting
strap through the back of the EAP.

Position the EAP and wrap the pole
mounting strap around the pole.
Feed the end through the
screw-block and tighten the strap
until the EAP is secure.
Step 2:
Option 2: Wall Mounting
Step 1:
Place the mounting bracket (for
EAP) in the right position. Mark two
positions for the screw holes .
Drill two 6mm holes for the screws
at the marked positions.
Step 2:
Insert the plastic wall anchors into
the 6mm holes. Align the bracket
(for EAP) to the plastic wall anchors
and drive the self-tapping screws
into the anchors through the
bracket (for EAP).
Step 3:

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)
Note: To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it
is recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing
upward.
Step 1:
Remove the mounting bracket
from the passive PoE Adapter.
Drill two holes on the wall and insert
the plastic wall anchors into the the
holes. Secure the mounting bracket
to the wall. Make sure the shoulders
at the corners of the mounting
bracket are on the outside and
pointing upward.
Step 2:
Attach the passive PoE adapter
to the mounting bracket (for PoE
Adapter) by sliding the adapter in
the direction of the arrows until it
locks into place.
A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is
required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local
network.
Option1: Standalone Mode
1. Connect wirelessly by using the default SSID (format:
TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the
bottom of the product.
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://tplinkeap.net in the
address bar. Use admin for both Username and Password to log in.
3. Set up a new Username and Password for secure management
purpose. Modify the wireless parameters and reconnect your
wireless devices to the new wireless network.
To configure other EAPs, connect your device to the EAP by the
coresponding default SSID and repeat the steps listed above. You
can configure some basic functions in Standalone Mode. If you want
to configure advanced functions, please use Controller Mode.

Then you can further configure the Omada Controller.
Omada Cloud Service
After installing Omada Controller, you can remotely configure the
controller through cloud service when your management device
can access the internet. Follow the steps below.
1. Enable Cloud Access on the setting page on the controller
and bind a TP-Link ID to your controller. If you have congured
this in the setup wizard, skip the step.
2. Launch a web browser and enter
https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar.
3. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. A list of Omada
Controller that has been bound with your TP-Link ID will
appear. Then you can click Launch to further congure the
controller.
1. Download the TP-Link Omada app on your mobile device. It can
be downloaded from Apple Store or Google Play:

a. Make sure Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and
your controller has been bound with a TP-Link ID.
b. Launch the app and log in with your TP-Link ID. Then go to
Cloud Access. A list of Omada Controller that has been
bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then you can further
configure the controller.

Omada Cloud Controller (e.g. OC200), which is pre-installed with
the Omada Software Controller, is a good alternative for the
Software Controller if you have no spare PC to keep running in the
network. It needs to be purchased additionally. For more details,
refer to the Installation Guide of Omada Cloud Controller.
