• Mirrors, especially silver-coated, negatively affect transmission performance. Your On-Q WAP 802.11g is powered over the single Cat 5e cable that connects it to the service provider. A power supply inserts power onto the Cat 5e cable through an inserter module, and then this power is extracted for use at the WAP location.
Wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryptions • Firmware upgrades available to stay current with latest specification B. Components Included The On-Q WAP 802.11g (either In-Ceiling or In-Wall version) includes the following components: • WAP Assembly • WAP Cover •...

INPUT – This RJ-45 connector is where the Cat 5e cable from the Power Over Cat 5e Inserter Module in the On-Q Enclosure plugs in. There is an Extractor Module in the WAP Assembly that breaks out the required DC power from the data on the input Cat 5e cable connection.

NOTE: Although the WAP is shipped from On-Q with its IP address set to 192.168.40.1 (in the On-Q product 192.168.40.xxx sub-network), if you push the reset button for five seconds, the WAP is reset to the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.220, and will have to be re-configured to the 192.168.40.xxx sub-network to work with the other On-Q...
III. Installation The On-Q WAP 802.11g is best installed during new construction in two steps; at “rough-in” with the other low voltage cabling such as TV and Phone, but prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted. These steps are detailed below: A.
2. It should then be plugged into the “INPUT” connector on the rear of the WAP Assembly as shown in Figure 8. 3. The On-Q WAP 802.11g Assembly can then be screwed into the triple gang box and the cover inserted, insuring that the LEDs on the WAP line up with the holes in the cover (see Figure 9).

5. A supplied Cat 5e patch cable is then connected from the input RJ-45 jack of the Power over Cat 5e Inserter Module to one of the LAN ports on the On-Q or third party Router, or directly to a Broadband Modem.
IV. Basic Configuration The On-Q WAP 802.11g is typically configured in one of two ways; (1) From a portable PC connected through the “Data In” port of the Power Inserter Module in the enclosure which is then connected through its “Data/Power Out” port to a Cat 5e cable to the WAP, or (2) From a PC in one of the rooms of the house, connected through an outlet in the room to the enclosure where it is patched to the “Data In”...
9. For a new WAP from On-Q on the 192.168.40.xxx sub-network, enter 192.168.40.10 into the IP Address field, or for a WAP that has been reset, enter 192.168.1.10 into the IP Address field. 10. Enter 255.255.255.0 into the Subnet Mask field.
Advanced Setting. Figure 17 NOTE: As shown in Figure 17, the On-Q WAP can act as one of four different devices. On-Q utilizes it as an Access Point (or AP) for the On-Q WAP application and will concentrate on that portion of its functionality for the rest of this documentation.
5. Next you need to change how the On-Q WAP gets its IP Address (manually instead of automatically) and give it an IP address that will work with the rest of the On-Q Data Products in the 192.168.40.xxx sub-network. Click on “IP Config” from the list on the left of the screen and you will see the IP Config –...

(For Windows 2000 you will have to restart the computer to save these settings). 10. After the reboot (if appropriate), your PC should be now be ready for operation as before, directly through the On-Q Router, or through the On-Q WAP (if a Wireless NIC card was installed).
V. Advanced Configuration The On-Q WAP 802.11g has many advanced configuration options to tailor it to your specific needs. Use the list on the left of any screen and click on “Wireless” to see some of the advanced configuration functions (see Figure 25).
Firmware Upgrade screen (see Figure 33). This screen shows the current firmware installed on your WAP. If you have downloaded a new firmware file from the On-Q Tech Support area of our website (www.onqlegrand.com), browse to the file location and click the “Upload” button. The WAP will reboot automatically at the end of the firmware upgrade process.
NOTE: Although the WAP is shipped with its default On-Q IP address (192.168.40.1) in the On- Q default sub-network (192.168.40.xxx), when you push the reset button for five seconds, the WAP is reset to the factory hardware default IP address of 192.168.1.220.
