Interface overview of the LANCOM LX-6212
- Wi-Fi antenna connectors
- Reset button
- USB interface
- Power supply socket
- Ethernet interfaces
Initial start-up
| a) Power supply via external power supply unit | b) PoE power supply via PoE network device | c) PoE power supply via separate PoE injector |
| Establish a power supply using the external power supply unit. | Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port marked PoE on the device and a free PoE-active network socket on your local network (e. g. on a PoE-capable switch). | Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port marked PoE on the device and the output of the PoE injector. Then connect another network cable to the input of the PoE injector and a free NON-PoE-active network outlet of your local network. Connect the PoE injector to the power supply. |
Always observe the documentation of the PoE injector or PoE switch!
Configuration via the local network
Note that an active DHCP server is required in the network connected to the device.
Connect the computer intended for configuration (e.g. notebook) either directly via Ethernet cable to one of the ETH or LAN interfaces of the device, or to a switch in the same network.
The possibly existing interface CONFIG or COM is not suitable for configuration via the network!
Options for initial start-up of the unconfigured device
→ Option 1: via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC)
The LANCOM Management Cloud allows LANCOM partners to automate the commissioning, centralized management, and monitoring of LANCOM devices. Further information on commissioning and configuration via the LMC can be found at www.lancom-systems.com/Imc-access.
→ Option 2: via web browser (WEBconfig)
Configuration via web browser is an easy and fast variant, since no additional software is required on the computer used for configuration.
Note: If a certificate warning appears in your browser when trying to connect to your device, there is a button or link on the displayed browser page to connect to the device anyway (depending on the browser, usually under Advanced).
In this procedure, the DNS server used in your network must be able to resolve the host name reported by the device via DHCP. When using a LANCOM device as a DHCP and DNS server, this is the default case.
At https://lancom-xxyzz you can access your device.. Replace XXYYZZ with the last six digits of the MAC address of your device, which you can find on the enclosed document LANCOM Management Cloud or on the nameplate of the device. If necessary, append the domain name of your local network (e. g. .intern).
Alternatively, for configuration via TCP/IP you need the IP address of the device in the local network (LAN) so that you can enter it in any web browser. If necessary, determine the IP address at the DHCP server or router.
- When connecting the computer to an unconfigured LANCOM device, WEBconfig automatically calls up the start page for device configuration. Here you select whether you want to configure the device via the LANCOM Management Cloud (→ Option 3, see below) or via Stand-alone configuration.
- If you select Stand-alone configuration, you will be redirected to the dashboard after setting the access data.
- On the dashboard, under Wi-Fi configuration Add new SSID, configure an SSID and an associated password (PSK). After saving the configuration, check the accessibility of the new SSID e. g. by smartphone via the displayed QR code. The initial commissioning of the device is now complete.
- Please wait until the booting process of the device is completed before starting LANconfig.
- LANCOM access points start in managed mode and are only found automatically in the local area network (LAN) with the option Extend search to managed APs.
- Open the device configuration by double-clicking on the unconfigured device in the device list.
Confirm the security notice and first configure a device password under Management → Admin → Device configuration. - Under Wireless-LAN → WLAN-Networks → General/Network Add, configure an SSID an associated password (PSK). The initial commissioning of the device is now complete.
General safety instructions
→ Under no circumstances should the device housing be opened and the device repaired without authorization. Any device with a case that has been opened is excluded from the warranty.
→ If antennas are available, they may only be installed or replaced when the device is switched off. Mounting or demounting antennas while the device is powered on may cause the destruction of the radio module.
→ Mounting, installation, and commissioning of the device may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Safety instructions and intended use
Before commissioning the device, be sure to study the corresponding Hardware Quick Reference which can be downloaded from the LANCOM website www.lancom-systems.com/downloads.
Any warranty and liability claims against LANCOM Systems are excluded in the event of any use other than the intended use described below!
Environment
LANCOM devices should only be operated when the following environmental requirements are met:
→ Ensure that you comply with the temperature and humidity ranges specified in the Quick Reference Guide for the LANCOM device.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight (does not apply to outdoor devices).
→ Ensure that there is adequate air circulation and do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
→ Do not cover devices or stack them on top of one another
The device must be mounted so that it is freely accessible (for example, it should be accessible without the use of technical aids such as elevating platforms (does not apply to outdoor devices)); a permanent installation (e. g. under plaster) is not permitted.
Only outdoor equipment intended for this purpose is to be operated outdoors.
Power supply
→ If available, the power plug of the device must be freely accessible.
→ Operate the device only with a professionally installed power supply at a nearby and at all times freely accessible socket.
→ Only use the enclosed power supply / IEC cable or the one listed in the hardware quick reference.
→ A high touch current is possible for devices with metal housing and grounding screw! Before connecting the power supply, connect the grounding screw to a suitable ground potential.
→ Some devices support power supply via an Ethernet cable (Power over Ethernet – PoE). Please refer to the corresponding notes in the hardware quick reference of the device.
→ Never operate damaged components.
→ Only switch on the device when the housing is closed.
→ The device must not be installed during thunderstorms and should be disconnected from the power supply during thunderstorms.
→ In case of emergency (e. g. damage, ingress of liquids or objects, for example through the ventilation slots), disconnect the power supply immediately.
Applications
→ The devices must not be used for the actuation, control, and data transmission of machinery that, in case of malfunction or failure, may present a danger to life and limb, nor for the operation of critical infrastructures.
→ The devices with their respective software are not designed, intended or certified for use in: the operation of weapons, weapons systems, nuclear facilities, mass transportation, autonomous vehicles, aircraft, life support computers or equipment (including resuscitators and surgical implants), pollution control, hazardous materials management, or other hazardous applications where failure of the device or software could lead to a situation in which personal injury or death could result. The customer is aware that the use of the devices or software in such applications is entirely at the customer’s risk.
