3. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon

The CF-E593AX is designed for in-wall installation, fitting into a standard 86-type panel box. It supports Power over Ethernet (POE) for simplified wiring.

3.1 POE Power Supply

The device supports 48V standard POE power supply, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. A single network cable can transmit both power and data, simplifying installation and maintenance. Ensure you use a POE power supply device, such as a POE switch, or the included POE power adapter if provided.

3.2 Etap Enstalasyon Fizik yo

1. **Prepare the Wall Box**: Ensure you have a standard 86-type concealed wall box ready for installation.
2. **Connect Network Cable**: Plug the wall network cable into the network port on the back of the AP. Carefully remove the AP cover if necessary to access the ports.
3. **Mount the AP**: Wait for the indicator light to come on normally (indicating power and network connectivity). Mount the AP onto the concealed wall box using screws.
4. **Close Face Cover**: Close the AP face cover to complete the installation.

4. Operasyon Enstriksyon

The Comfast CF-E593AX provides advanced features for optimal wireless performance.

4.1 Operasyon Doub-Band

The AP integrates 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz dual-band frequencies, offering a high-speed rate of 3000Mbps. It intelligently selects the optimal frequency band (5GHz for better signals) to meet the networking needs of all devices in your environment.

4.2 Itinérance san pwoblèm

For environments with multiple APs, the CF-E593AX supports seamless roaming. This feature ensures a smooth internet experience by optimizing Wi-Fi roaming between multiple AP signals, allowing devices to switch between access points without interruption.

4.3 Automatic Radio Frequency Optimization

The AP automatically calculates the neighbor relationship between APs in the network and adjusts wireless transmission power and channel in real-time. This minimizes interference and optimizes network status for stable and efficient operation.

Figure 9: Automatic Radio Frequency Optimization for improved network status.

4.4 TWT Technology for Energy Saving

Target Wake Time (TWT) technology allows the AP to unify the scheduling of wireless terminal dormancy and data transmission time. This improves the disordered competition of multiple devices for the channel and groups wireless terminals into different TWT cycles, enhancing the battery life of connected equipment.

4.5 OFDMA and MU-MIMO

The combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies improves the internet experience in multi-user network scenarios without interference, achieving latency as low as 10ms for a smoother network. OFDMA allows multiple simultaneous users to be served per frame of data, unlike older Wi-Fi 5 APs that serve one user at a time.

NAN. Depanaj

• **No Power/Indicator Light Off**:
  • Ensure the network cable is securely connected to the WAN port.
  • Verify that the POE power source (POE switch or adapter) is functioning correctly and providing 48V power.
• **No Internet Access**:
  • Check the connection from the AP's WAN port to your router/network.
  • Confirm that your main router has internet connectivity.
  • If using an AC gateway, ensure it is properly configured and communicating with the AP.
• **Poor Wi-Fi Signal/Slow Speed**:
  • Ensure the AP is installed in an optimal location, free from major obstructions.
  • The device features automatic radio frequency optimization to reduce interference. If issues persist, consider checking for external interference sources.
  • Verify that your client devices support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) to fully utilize the AX3000 speeds.
• **Cannot Access AP Settings**:
  • Ensure your device is connected to the AP's Wi-Fi network or via a wired connection to the LAN port.
  • Refer to the full manual or manufacturer's website for default IP address and login credentials.
• **Resetting the Device**:
  • Locate the RESET button (usually a small pinhole). Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator lights change, then release. This will restore factory default settings.

8. Konsèy itilizatè yo

• **Optimal Placement**: For best Wi-Fi coverage, consider the central location of the AP within the area you wish to cover. In-wall installation helps maintain a clean aesthetic while providing good signal distribution.
• **Leverage Dual-Band**: Connect newer devices that support 5GHz Wi-Fi to the 5GHz band for faster speeds and less interference. Use the 2.4GHz band for older devices or for extending range through walls.
• **Gigabit Connectivity**: Utilize the Gigabit WAN and LAN ports for high-speed wired connections to devices like PCs, gaming consoles, or network-attached storage (NAS) for maximum performance.
• **POE Advantage**: Take advantage of the POE power supply for a cleaner installation with fewer cables, especially in multi-AP setups.
• **AC Gateway for Large Networks**: For larger deployments (e.g., commercial scenarios, multi-floor homes), consider integrating with a Comfast AC gateway for centralized management and enhanced features like remote control and network optimization.
