On-Premises Management

If you want to manage the device in on-premises mode, you need an onsite management station running the FitController connected to the same Layer 2 network.

Standalone Configuration

Using your computer, you can connect to the same network (subnet) as the Access Point and use the web browser to access the device's local web GUI page for configurations whenever the device is set to Standalone mode.

Option B: On-premises Management with FitController

Step 1: Connecting Ethernet

Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Fit AP directly to the DHCP-enabled network, which is the same Layer-2 network as FitController.

Step 2: Log in to the FitController

Launch your web browser to access the login page of FitController and create an account. Enter the email address and password that you created and click Sign In.

Step 3: Register Device and Assign to Network

1. Go to the System > Inventory page and click "Register Device (+)".

2. FitController will list all EnGenius Fit devices discovered from the same L2 network in the Pending Approval section. Select the device and Click "Register" to add to inventory.

3. From the Inventory page, Select the newly added device and click "Assign to Network" to add the device to your personalized network.

Step 4: Pairing the Device

1. Go to access point Device List.

2. Select the newly added device and click "Pairing" to allow the access point to build an encrypted connection between the device and FitController.

Step 5: Manage with FitController

Navigate to the left side menu to configure & manage your network and view network statistics using the FitController management interface.

Powering the EnGenius Fit AP

EnGenius Fit AP devices can be powered by any of the following:

• EnGenius Fit PoE switches or 802.3af PoE+ compliant switches

• EnGenius PoE adaptor (EPA5006GP/EPA5006GAT)

• Power Adapter (12V/1.5A power input)

Connecting to a PoE Switch

Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Fit AP directly to the PoE port of the PoE switch.

Powering with a PoE Adapter

(A) Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN (PoE) port of EnGenius FIT AP and the other end to the PoE port on the PoE Adapter.

(B) Connect the power cord with the PoE Adapter and plug the other end into an electrical outlet. (C) Connect the second Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the PoE Adapter and the other end to the Ethernet port on the computer.

Powering with a Power Adapter

Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.

Hardware Mounting

The access point can be mounted on the Ceiling and Wall. Please perform the following steps to install successfully.

Ceiling Mount

- T-Rail

1. Slide the Ceiling Mount Base into the designated slot on the access point slot of the Access Point.

2. Slightly hook the ceiling mount bracket onto the T-Rail until you hear a click.

- Hard Ceiling

1. Screw the included Screws into the Ceiling Mount Base with Spacers, and then screw the Screws into the surface until they are flush with the surface.

2. Slide the Access Point into the Ceiling Mount Base.

Wall Mount

1. Determine where the Access Point will be placed and mark the location on the surface for the two mounting holes of the 15/16” T-Rail Ceiling Mount Base. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill two 8.1mm diagram and 26mm-deep holes on the marks.

2. Screw the Anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall; screw the included Screws into the Ceiling Mount Base with Spacers, and then screw the Screws into the Anchors until they are flush with the Anchors.

3. Slide the Access Point into the Ceiling Mount Base.

Option C: Standalone Configuration

Step 1: Access to Local Web
