I. Introduction
The On-Q/Legrand Wireless Access Point (WAP) 802.11g In-Ceiling or In-Wall unit (shown in Figure
1) uses a radio transmission technology defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). This standard is subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency
spectrum used, designated by the lower case letter after the standard. Your On-Q WAP 802.11g
supports both the 802.11b and 802.11g specifications.
The 802.11b specification transmits data rates up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification transmits
data rates up to 54 Mbps. These are theoretical speeds so your performance may vary. The radio
waves radiate out in a donut-shaped pattern. The waves travel through walls and floors, but
transmission power and distance are affected. The following chart shows how the wireless range is
different for each data rate and also depends on the local conditions:
Data Rate Open Area Closed Area
54 Mbps Up to 100 ft. Up to 60 ft.
11 Mbps Up to 900 ft. Up to 160 ft.
5.5 Mbps Up to 1300 ft. Up to 200 ft.
2 or 1 Mbps Up to 1500 ft. Up to 300 ft.
Typically, the best performance can be expected by positioning it in the ceiling or wall at a central
location on the top floor of the home or where a localized “hot spot” is desired.
The following recommendations help you achieve the best wireless performance environment:
Placing the WAP in the physical center of your network is the premium location because the
antenna radiates out the signal in all directions.
Placing the WAP in a higher location helps to disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving
locations on upper stories.
Direct line of sight achieves better performance, but obviously is not always achievable.
Try to avoid placing the WAP next to large solid or dense objects like walls, fireplaces, etc. This
helps the signal penetrate more cleanly.
Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can
interfere with the signal. Keep devices away from the unit.
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. In this way, unsightly power cables are avoided at
the WAP location.

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: Notice in Figure 2 that there is also a small factory installed jumper cable that
supplies the required DC power and data to the WAP assembly.

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
products.

III. 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” 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 (see Figure 6). In either case, the PC must have
an Ethernet Network Interface Card to communicate with the WAP.
NOTE: The On-Q WAP 802.11g can also be configured from a PC containing a Wireless Network
Interface Card for your desktop PC, or wireless PCMCIA card for your laptop PC, but this is not
recommended because it is not secure until you have configured security levels on the WAP
NOTE: Before configuring the On-Q WAP 802.11g, you must first temporarily configure your
computer (with installed Ethernet Network Interface Card) to talk to the WAP. Your On-Q WAP
comes from On-Q configured with a specific IP address (192.168.40.1), which is in the On-Q
product sub-network (192.168.40.xxx) for other networking products from On-Q. But, if it was reset
at any time, its hardware default IP address is 192.168.1.220, so your PC’s Ethernet Card must be
assigned an IP address, (like 192.168.40.10 or 192.168.1.10 as appropriate), on the same sub-
network to talk to and configure the WAP. Giving the PC a specific IP address is also called
assigning it a Static IP address, as compared to a Dynamic IP address that is typically assigned
by a service provider through a process called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
NOTE: Before doing any PC IP Address re-configuration, make sure you first write down all of the
current IP settings. If your PC is running XP, you may want to first create a manual system restore
point (under Accessories/System Tools/System Restore).
NOTE: After initially configuring the WAP, using that Static IP Address that you assign, you may
need to return the PC’s IP Address setting to be dynamically assigned by DHCP, if that is what the
service provider requires. If you are using a router, you will also want to change your WAP’s IP
address and Gateway settings to be on the same sub-network as the router.

IV. Troubleshooting
This section will detail possible solutions to common problems that might occur in using the On-Q
Wireless Access Point (WAP).
A. Contact Information
If you are unable to locate a solution here, please access our website at www.onqlegrand.com for
the latest information. You can also reach us at 1-800-321-2343.
B. Hardware Situations
1. WAP Cover Removal
Some of the steps in this section may require removal of the WAP cover, or the WAP
Assembly unit to verify cabling. Use a small pointed object, like a paper clip to remove the
WAP cover by gently prying in the slot at the location indicated (see Figure 20).
2. WAP Assembly Removal
The WAP Assembly itself is removed by unscrewing the six screws that hold it to the 3 gang
box it is mounted in (see Figure 21).

3. Restoring Factory Defaults
If you need to reset the WAP to factory default settings, there are two methods that can be
used. You can login to the device and click on the Restore button at the bottom of each
screen, or, once the cover has been removed, you can simply push and hold the Reset tab in
the direction shown for at least 5 seconds (see Figure 22). This action will restore the WAP
to hardware factory defaults as follows:
Factory SSID (the word default)
Responds to broadcast SSID requests
Channel 1 operation
Mixed Operation Mode
Automatic Transmit Rate
Long Preamble
Open System Authentication Method
No Encryption
Accept requests from any stations
Default IP Address (192.168.1.220)
NOTE: Prior to performing Step 4 below, remove AC power from the Power Inserter in the
On-Q Enclosure.
4. WAP Cabling Verification
Once the WAP Assembly has been removed from the 3 gang box as shown in Figure 21,
look at the back of the assembly to insure the Cat 5e cable from the enclosure is properly
terminated (see Figure 23) and plugged into the Input jack as shown in Figure 24. Also
insure the rest of the factory cabling is plugged in as shown. Then replace the assembly back
in the 3 gang box and replace the cover.

a. Ensure that your On-Q WAP is powered on and that the Wireless LED is lit (see Figure
20).
b. Ensure that your wireless adapter (PCI card, Notebook or Ethernet adapter) is installed
correctly and is active.
c. Ensure that your wireless adapter’s radio signal is enabled and set to the same channel
on which the WAP is communicating. Review your adapter’s documentation for further
instructions.
d. Ensure that your wireless adapter for your PC and the WAP have the same security
settings that will allow your computer to access the wireless network.
e. Ensure that your WAP is within range of your router or is not behind an obstruction, for
example metal structures will interfere with the signal, as will 2.4 GHz cordless phones,
and microwaves.
6. My computer is experiencing difficulty in connecting to the WAP.
a. Check that all of your cable connections are tight and secured. This includes the cables
to your modem, the router, the WAP and to your PC.
b. Ensure that your LEDs are lit. For further information about LED descriptions, see
Section II: Product Overview.
c. Ensure that you are using Ethernet cables and not telephone cables (see Figure 25).
Ethernet cables use a wider RJ-45 style plug using 8 wires where telephone style plugs
use the smaller RJ-11 (4 pin) or RJ-25 (6 pin) style plugs.
