Connect the WatchGuard AP Device
1.
Insert an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet interface on the WatchGuard AP device.
2.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network.
3.
Connect the power adapter to the DC power connector on the WatchGuard AP device. If you
use a PoE adapter, make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the correct port on the PoE
adapter.
The device powers on. The Power/Status light flashes amber while the device boots up and then changes
to steady green when the device is ready.
Assign an IP Address to the WatchGuard AP Device
There are two ways the WatchGuard AP device can get an IP address:
•
Automatic IP Address Configuration by DHCP - When first powered on, the WatchGuard AP
device automatically requests an IP address from a DHCP server on your network.
•
Manual IP Address Configuration - If you do not use DHCP on your network, you must directly
connect to the WatchGuard AP device to assign a static IP address.
To set the IP address on your WatchGuard AP device:
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the AP device to your computer.
• Configure your computer to use these settings: IP Address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.1.
• Open a web browser and type https://192.168.1.1.
• To log in to the WatchGuard AP web UI, type the default password: wgwap.
• Set the IP address of the AP device to an IP address on the same network as your XTM device.
