4.2 Pornire

Connect the device to the PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter using an Ethernet cable. Then, connect the PoE adapter to a power outlet using the provided power line. The device will power on automatically.

4.3 Conectarea inițială

For initial configuration, connect your computer directly to the LAN port of the PoE adapter using an Ethernet cable. Ensure your computer's IP address is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) or manually configure it to be in the same subnet as the device's default IP (e.g., 192.168.10.X).

5. Moduri de operare

The CF-WA350 supports multiple operating modes to suit various network requirements:

5.1 Modul punct de acces (AP)

In AP mode, the device connects to your existing wired network and broadcasts a wireless signal, allowing wireless clients to connect to the network. This is ideal for extending Wi-Fi coverage from a wired source.

5.2 Modul repetitor

In Repeater mode, the device wirelessly extends the range of an existing Wi-Fi network. It receives the wireless signal from your main router and re-broadcasts it, effectively expanding your Wi-Fi coverage area without requiring a wired connection to the main router.

5.3 Modul router

In Router mode, the device acts as a primary router, connecting to an internet source (e.g., a modem) via its WAN port and providing both wired and wireless network access to connected devices. This mode is suitable for setting up a new network.

6. Web Configurarea interfeței

To configure the CF-WA350, access its webinterfață de management bazată pe:

1. Ensure your computer is connected to the device (as described in Section 4.3).
2. Deschide a web browser (de exemplu, Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
3. In the address bar, type the default IP address of the device (commonly 192.168.10.1 or similar, refer to the device label or quick installation guide for exact IP) and press Enter.
4. Introduceți numele de utilizator și parola implicite (de obicei admin for both, or as specified in the quick installation guide).
5. Once logged in, you can configure network settings, Wi-Fi SSIDs, security protocols, operating modes, and other advanced features. It is highly recommended to change the default login credentials for security purposes.

7. Întreținere
