LANCOM LX-7200 Wireless LAN System
Interface overview of the LANCOM LX-7200
- USB 2.0 interface
- Kensington Lock holder
- Reset button
- Power supply connection socket
- TP-Ethernet interfaces ETH1 / ETH2
Initial start-up
- Establishing the required connections for device configuration → Always observe the adjacent safety instructions and notes. Select the description a) or b) applicable to your present constellation for the power supply of the device
- a) Power supply via an external power supply unit
- Establish a power supply using the external power supply unit.
- b) PoE power supply via PoE network device
- 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).
- c) PoE power supply via a separate PoE injector
- 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!
- → Use suitable cables to connect other required device interfaces to other components and, in the case of devices with Wi-Fi interfaces, connect any antennas supplied.
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/lmc-access.
- Option 2: via web browser (WEBconfig)
Configuration via a 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 hostname 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-XXYYZZ, 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.
- → Option 3: via the Windows software LANconfig (www.lancom-systems.com/downloads)
- 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 and 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 destroy the radio module.
- → Mounting, installation, and commissioning of the device may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Safety instructions and intended use
- In order to avoid harming yourself, third parties, or your equipment when installing your LANCOM device, please observe the following safety instructions. Operate the device only as described in the corresponding documentation. Pay particular attention to all
- warnings and safety instructions. Use only those third-party devices and components that are recommended or approved by LANCOM Systems.
- 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.

Power supply
Before start-up, the following points must be observed, as improper use can lead to personal injury and damage to property, as well as voiding the warranty:
- → 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. For an overview of the power supplies compatible with your device, see www.lancom-systems.com/kb/power-supplies.
- → A high touch current is possible for devices with a metal housing and a 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.
