The CEN-WAP-ABG-1G is a wireless access point that supports IEEE
802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi technology. In addition, the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G
supports the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) industry
standard. Using PoE technology, the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G receives
both power and data by way of a single Ethernet cable.
Shipped with uniquely configured network identification settings,
the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G provides a secure wireless connection for
Crestron
®
Wi-Fi touchpanels. As a result, additional configuration of
the access point is not required as part of the installation.
To accommodate applications in which customized configuration
settings are desired, the access point also provides a Web-based
configuration utility that offers a setup wizard as well as additional
network management settings.

MOUNTING
Mount the access point into a wall or into a rack as appropriate for
your installation.
Wall Mounting: For the best possible range, it is recommended
that you mount the access point as high as possible and away from
metal objects.
1. Using the two supplied Phillips pan head screws, mount the
access point into a one-gang low-voltage bracket or electrical box.
The recommended depth of the electrical box is a minimum of
2.5 inches. The maximum voltage of the access point is 48 VDC.
2. Attach the desired Decora
®
faceplate (not supplied).
