How Do I Log into the Web Management Page of the EAP (Cluster mode)?

Suitable for: EAP120 V1.0 (Firmware 20141107), EAP220 V1.0(Firmware 20150105), EAP115 V1.0(Cluster mode).

The web-based management page is a built-in internal web server that does not require internet access.

Note: Low version of your web browser may cause compatibility problem with the web-based interface(management page) of your device, such as unable to log into the interface, display incomplete features etc.

The following content will guide you to quickly login to the management page of the EAPs. The management host can connect to the Master EAP wirelessly or with wires. Wireless Login is conveniently recommended.

Step1. Power on the EAP

The EAP that first completes system initialization in the Cluster mode will be selected as the Master EAP.

2. Access your DHCP server (which is Router’s web interface as above) and locate the IP address of the EAPs (the IP addresses of the EAPs based on the hostname EAPXXX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX).

3. Open a web browser and type in any one of these IP addresses to login to the web server. The default user name and password are admin (all lowercase). In the Cluster mode, the login will be directed to the Master EAP.
