Dual-Band Gigabit ceiling wireless AP
VAC Self-Organizing Network Quick Installation Guide
V1.0
Thank you for purchasing our product. Hope you will have fun using it!
Please read this user manual thoroughly before using, and keep it properly.
Ⅰ. Product Oveiew
Suppos the IEEE 802.11ax (WiFi 6) standard, with a dual-band simultaneous
transmission rate of up to 3000 Mbps (2.4GHz: 1200 Mbps + 5GHz: 1800 Mbps). The
ceiling-mounted design is optimized for enterprise scenarios including oce
buildings, hotels, exhibition halls and meeting rooms, delivering a signal coverage
radius of 15-25 meters and the ability to penetrate 3-4 non-load-bearing walls. It
suppos simultaneous connection of up to 128 devices; WiFi6 OFDMA and
MU-MIMO technologies optimize the concurrent peormance of multiple terminals,
reduce freezes and latency, and satisfy enterprise high-speed network demands
such as HD video conferences, wireless oce work and IoT device interconnection.
Compatible with Fat/Thin dual operating modes, it suppos centralized
management of up to 16 APs via the VAC self-organizing network, as well as
centralized management of more APs via an AC controller, adapting to various
batch deployment scenarios for multiple APs.
Notes:
1. In a LAN without an AC controller, the AP with the largest MAC address will be
automatically elected as the Master role to manage other APs.
2. If there is only one AP in the LAN, the AP will operate in Slave role by default.
3. This guide does not include instructions for use with an AC controller. For
AC-related conguration and usage, please contact the sales team.

Ⅱ. Pre-Installation Preparation
Optimal Placement
Install at the geometric center of the ceiling in oce areas, central ceiling of meeting
rooms, or top of corridors to ensure uniform signal coverage of the target area and
minimize blind spots. For multi-AP deployment, maintain the signal overlap rate of
adjacent APs at 20%-30% to avoid inteerence.
- 2 -
Installation Cautions
Keep a minimum distance of 3 meters from equipment/areas that cause signal
inteerence or shielding, including air conditioner outdoor units, refrigerators,
microwaves, elevator shafts, power distribution shafts, large seer rooms (strong
electromagnetic inteerence), metal ceilings/keels, ventilation ducts (signal
shielding), and Bluetooth speakers (frequency inteerence).
Do not install in humid, dusty or high-temperature areas (e.g., toilets, top of
equipment rooms) to ensure long-term stable operation of the device.
Installation Requirements
1. The ceiling must be at and stable with a load-bearing capacity of at least 2kg.
2. A pre-routed PoE network cable po is required (embedded CAT5 or higher
specication cable is recommended to improve transmission stability).
3. The installation position should allow easy post-installation maintenance (e.g.,
avoid enclosed ceiling areas).
Power Supply Method
The AP suppos 48V PoE and 12V DC power supply; select the appropriate power
supply mode based on the on-site environment.
Network Environment
1. Congure the uplink bandwidth rationally according to the number of APs and
concurrent connection requirements.
2. Plan the IP address segments properly and assign static IP addresses to all APs for
convenient subsequent management.

Ⅶ. Role Description
The AP suppos 4 working roles—choose based on usage scenarios to meet
dierent deployment needs:
1. Master: Includes basic AP functions, The AP with the largest MAC address will
automatically switch to the Master role auto-discovers and manage all other Slave
APs in the LAN.
2. Slave: Basic AP functions; auto-discovered and managed by the Master. Default
role; ideal for bulk deployment with the Master.
3. Independent AP: Only basic AP functions; not discoverable/managed by
controllers. Requires separate conguration; ideal for single-device use.
4. Fit AP: Basic AP functions; only discoverable/managed by hardware AC. Does
not suppo standalone use; ideal for bulk deployment with hardware AC.
Ⅷ. Mode Description
The AP suppos Router Mode and AP Mode, compatible with dierent working
roles for various scenarios. Details:
1. AP Mode:
- Core: Conves between wired and WiFi networks, enabling quick connection
of WiFi devices to wired networks.
- Limitations: No network sharing or DHCP IP allocation.
- Suppoed roles: Master, Slave, Independent AP, Fit AP.
2. Router Mode:
- Core: Adds network sharing and DHCP IP allocation to AP Mode features.
- Suppoed roles: Master, Independent AP.
- 10 -
- Special capability: In "Master" role, can bypass-manage other Slave APs in the
LAN.
Ⅸ. FQA
1. Q: How to set Router Mode?
A: 1) Log in to the AP management page, go to [WLAN- AP List]. Locate the
AP labeled "Local", click [Manage] to access its oveiew page.
2) In "Oveiew", check the current “Work Mode”, click [Change], select "Router
Mode".
3) Enable/disable features based on the role:
- For "Master" role: Enable "Enable AC" and "VAC Parallel Networking" to
bypass-manage other Slave APs.
- For "Independent AP" role: Disable "Enable AC", "Self-Organizing Network", and
"VAC Parallel Networking".
4) Click [Conrm]; the device will resta the network to apply settings.
5) Reconnect to the device’s WiFi, log in, go to the oveiew page, and click [WAN].
6) Select "Connection Type" based on your scenario and enter parameters.
7) Click [Save]; the device will resta the network to apply settings.
2. Q: How to manage multi-APS?
A: 1) Initialize & connect: APs at facto status , power on, and connect them to
the same LAN. Ensure no VLAN po isolation is enabled and VLAN 2024 is unused.
2) Automatic Election: Wait for approximately 2 minutes. The AP with the largest
MAC address will be automatically elected and switch to Master Role to manage all
other APs; all APs will automatically sync the controller’s WiFi conguration.
3) View and Manage APs: Connect to the WiFi and log in to the management page.
Click [WLAN] > [AP List] to view and manage all devices.
4) Modify Wireless Conguration: Click [WLAN] > [WiFi] > [Wireless Network], then
modify the WiFi name, authentication method and WiFi password as prompted on
- 11 -
the page.
3. Q: How to optimize roaming for multi-APS deployment?
A: 1) Adjust channel bandwidth (for poor signal/AP-dense environments):
- If auto channel selection is insucient (e.g., heavy inteerence, dense
deployment), go to [WLAN] > [AP List], select the target device, click [Manage] to
access its oveiew.
- Go to [RF Settings] for details; reduce channel bandwidth in "2.4G
Conguration" and "5G Conguration" to minimize inteerence.
2) Test roaming & record data:
- Connect to the WiFi, play online videos on mobile devices (simulate real
roaming).
- Go to [Online Clients] in the management page, record "edge signal strength"
for reference.
3) Adjust roaming parameters:
Go to [WLAN] > [Roaming]. For "2.4G Congure" and "5G Congure", adjust:
- Access threshold: Minimum signal strength for client access
- Exclusion threshold: Signal strength to disconnect from current AP
- Roaming sensitivity: Response speed for client switching
4) Repeat verication & optimization:
After adjusting parameters, repeat step 2. Compare edge signal strength, and
roaming smoothness. Fine-tune and verify repeatedly to nd optimal settings for
best roaming peormance.
4. Q: How to change the AP login password?
A: The default login password is "admin". Choose one of the two methods below:
1) Link to WiFi password via Setup Wizard:
When conguring WiFi in [Setup Wizard], check "Set WiFi password as login
password". After setup, the login password will automatically match the WiFi
- 12 -
password—no manual adjustment needed.
2) Manual modication:
To change the login password separately, log in to the management page, go to
[System Admin] > [Password], enter and conrm the new password as
prompted. All managed APs will sync the new password after modication.
