4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1 Tixgħel

Once connected to a compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source, the EAP115-Wall will automatically power on. The LED indicator on the front of the device will illuminate to show its operational status.

4.2 Konfigurazzjoni

The EAP115-Wall can be configured in two primary ways:

• Kontrollur SDN tal-Omada: For centralized management of multiple EAPs, download and install the free TP-Link Omada Controller software. This allows for unified configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of your entire Omada network.
• Modalità waħedha: For single device management, you can access the EAP's web-based management interface directly via its IP address. Refer to the Quick Installation Guide for the default IP address and login credentials.

4.3 Basic Wi-Fi Settings

Through either the Omada Controller or standalone web interface, you can configure the following:

• SSID (Identifikatur tas-Sett tas-Servizz): The name of your Wi-Fi network.
• Password/Security Type: Set a strong password and choose a robust security protocol (e.g., WPA2-PSK).
• Portal Captive: Enable and customize the captive portal for guest access, requiring users to authenticate before gaining internet access.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protetta Setup): If supported by your client devices, WPS can be used for quick and easy connection by pressing the WPS button (if available on the device or configurable via software).

5. Manutenzjoni

5.1 Aġġornamenti tal-Firmware

To ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features, regularly check for and install firmware updates. Firmware can be updated via the Omada SDN Controller or by accessing the device's web management interface and uploading the latest firmware file from the TP-Link official websit.

5.2 Tindif

Keep the EAP clean by gently wiping its surface with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may damage the device.

5.3 Irrisettja għall-Defaults tal-Fabbrika

If you encounter persistent issues or wish to revert all settings to their original factory state, you can perform a factory reset. With the device powered on, locate the small reset button (typically a pinhole) on the unit. Use a paperclip or similar pointed object to press and hold the button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LED indicators change, then release. The device will restart with factory default settings.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

6.1 No Power / LED Indicator Off

• Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the UPLINK+PoE port on the EAP and to a functioning PoE source.
• Ensure your PoE source (switch or injector) is 802.3af compliant and providing power.

6.2 Ebda Sinjal tal-Wi-Fi

• Check the EAP's LED indicator. If it's not solid green (or indicating normal operation), refer to the power troubleshooting steps.
• Confirm that the Wi-Fi radio is enabled in the EAP's configuration settings (via Omada Controller or web interface).
• Ensure your client devices are within range and attempting to connect to the correct SSID with the correct password.

6.3 Slow Wi-Fi Speeds

• Check for potential network congestion or interference from other wireless devices.
• Ensure the EAP is optimally placed, avoiding obstructions that could degrade signal quality.
• Verify that your client devices support the 802.11n standard for best compatibility.

6.4 Cannot Access Management Interface

• Confirm that your computer is connected to the same network as the EAP.
• Verify the EAP's IP address. If using DHCP, check your router's DHCP client list.
• Ipprova neħħi l-cache tal-browser tiegħek jew uża browser ieħor.
• If all else fails, perform a factory reset and attempt to access with default credentials.
