2 - First Time Setup Tips

• For jobs with multiple WAPs, consider using OvrC to complete SSID setup for all WAPs at once. See the

OvrC app for more information.

• All Araknis access points transmit the same SSID, araknis_initial by default. If multiple access points are being installed in the same network without using OvrC for SSID setup, power on and complete network setup for one device at a time to avoid confusion about which access point you are connected to. Always change the SSID and admin password during initial setup.

• Araknis Networks recommends using DHCP IP settings in equipment, with IP address reservations in the router.

• Always change the login credentials for all devices during initial setup to prevent unwanted access or changes.

3 - Using OvrC With Your Device

The built-in menus can be used to configure any basic or advanced feature, but for the best experience, we recommend claiming your product in OvrC and checking out the features offered there too.

3.1 - What is OvrC?

OvrC is a professional cloud-based solution that helps you monitor your devices in the field and provide focused customer care. Remote access saves you time and money on unnecessary calls, while the app’s ease of use and agility keep you from experiencing the usual network setup frustrations. OvrC and Araknis work perfectly together to help you get the job done. Go to ovrc.com

to learn more and get started.

You can access your OvrC account in two ways:

•

Mobile App – Access your account from your smart phone or tablet. Visit the app store from your device and search for the OvrC app (not the home app).

• Web App – Access your account from a computer web browser ( app.ovrc.com

).

3.2 - Claiming the WAP in OvrC

1. Connect the WAP to the Internet.

2. Open your OvrC mobile or web app.

3. Create or select a customer and location.

4. Add the device (MAC address and Service Tag numbers needed for authentication).

3.3 - OvrC Configuration

Many of the settings in your device can also be configured from the OvrC app, and more features are being added all the time. For example, if you have multiple WAPs to configure on one LAN, SSID settings for all devices can be set at one time.

See the OvrC mobile or web app for all of the latest features and settings.

3.4 - OvrC WebConnect

The WebConnect feature enables you to access the local interface of your WAP from anywhere, right from your OvrC account device list. No port forwarding or other setup is required.

1. Open your OvrC web or smartphone app and find the WAP in the device list.

2. Click the WebConnect button. You may need to disable pop-up blockers in your browser.

3. When the pop-up appears, select the appropriate option:

• I Am Local – Use if on the same LAN as the device.

• I Am Remote – Use if on a different LAN to access the WAP from over the Internet.

4. Once you click the button, a new browser tab/window will load the login page for the WAP. You may now log in as normal.
