Installation Process

1. Remove the top cover from the WAC. Use the four tabs on the
underside of the WAC cover to unclip the cover.
2. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into Ethernet Port 1 on the
WAC (shown in Fig. 1).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into an Ethernet port on
your laptop.
• Turn OFF Wi-Fi on your laptop.
• Confirm the laptop's Ethernet interface is configured for DHCP.
4. Initiate the WAC setup procedure as follows:
A. Press and hold "Button A" on the WAC (shown in Fig. 2).
B. Plug the 12VDC adapter supplied with the WAC into a
100-240VAC 50/60 Hz outlet.
C. Continue holding Button A for 45 seconds after power is
applied. The WAC status indicator will start flashing green.
5. Wait two minutes for the laptop to fallback to a link-local IP
address.
Technical Note: Computers running Windows and OS X fallback
to using a link-local address when their network interface is
configured to use DHCP, and a DHCP server doesn't allocate an
IP address. This will always happen as the WAC and laptop are
directly connected, i.e., there will be no DHCP server.
