1. Component Checklist
Check if all components are available before wiring:
• HAP101 (better to use two, one in AP mode, one in STA mode)
• 1 x Wi-Fi HaLow antenna (longer)
• 2 x 2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna (shorter)
• A router functioning as a DHCP server and an Ethernet cable (not necessary if
you just intend to verify the HaLow connection)
• 12V DC power adapter
• DC Power connector
• Firmware version: V200R003.F0000-0B or later
2. Installation and Wiring
When mounting HAP101 on a vertical surface, please ensure that the device is
oriented with the LED indicators pointing down. This positioning allows the LEDs to
be visible to the user on the ground.
1. Use two M3 x 8mm screws to fix HAP101 (screw anchors might be necessary);
2. Tighten the screws and gently swing the device to make sure it is fastened;
3. Install the shorter antennas to the WLAN antenna connectors (silk screened as
WLAN1 and WLAN2/BT);
4. Install the longer antenna to the Wi-Fi HaLow antenna connector (silk screened
as HaLow);
5. Connect the Ethernet port of HAP101 to a LAN port of a router using the
Ethernet cable, when necessary;

6.
Plug the DC power connector into the power terminal of the device and
connect it to the power source using the 12V DC adapter to start it.
You have multiple options to pair two HAP101 devices via Wi-Fi HaLow. Choose the
one that best suits your situation.
Typically, each HAP101 operates in both HaLow AP and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi AP mode by
default, with a fixed LAN IP of 172.18.2.1. When switched to HaLow station/client
mode, the LAN IP will change to 172.18.3.1, ensuring proper IP allocation.
To set an HAP101 to the station mode (H2) and connect it to an AP-mode HAP101
(H1) via Wi-Fi HaLow, simply configure H2 using the web-based management portal
(VantronOS).
To access VantronOS for H2 from a host computer, connect the host to the 2.4GHz
Wi-Fi network of H2, then enter H2's WLAN IP address in a web browser to log in.
For additional login methods, please refer to the user manual.
1. Power on H1 and use an Ethernet cable to connect it to a router that functions
as a DHCP server;
* The router is used for network access and unified IP allocation. Connecting to it
is not necessary if you just intend to verify the HaLow connection.
2. Power on H2;
3. Connect a host computer to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi of H2 using the default SSID and
password provided on the device label as shown below;
4. Use the default WLAN Login IP provided on the device label of H2 as the address
for VantronOS login;
