1Touchscreen.
2Ethernet cable. You must use a
shielded cable to meet the rated EMC
performance of the device.
3Cable from DC power supply.
AP10 requires a network connection to your viewLinc Enterprise Server and a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. AP10 can also use its default NTP servers if
internet is accessible from the network.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to Ethernet port of AP10. If possible, connect to the same
network where the viewLinc Enterprise Server is, so that you can verify the connection
when doing the setup.
2. If the Ethernet cable does not provide power, connect the DC power supply:
a. Remove the DC power supply from the AP10 package.
b. The power supply comes with multiple adapters for wall sockets. Connect the adapter
you need to the power supply before attempting to use it.
c. Plug in the power supply to the wall socket.
d. Connect the plug to the power supply connector of AP10. Make sure the plug is
oriented correctly and goes in all the way.
e. Rotate the power plug slightly to lock it to the connector.

ENGLISH
3. A setup wizard starts when AP10 is first powered up. Use the touch interface to complete
the wizard:
a. Select a language for the touchscreen display.
b. Configure the network settings so that AP10 can join the network.
c. Configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers that the access point will attempt
to synchronize with. If you have a local NTP server in the network, replace one of the
default NTP server hostnames with its IP address or hostname.
d. Select a VaiNet channel (1 ... 8). Each access point in range of each other must have a
unique channel assigned to it.
e. Enter the IP address or hostname of the viewLinc Enterprise Server. Leave the TCP
port at default 12600 unless you know it has been changed.
f. Enable Installation Mode to start connecting data loggers to your system.
4. After the setup wizard is complete, wait for the display to change to the home screen
where you can see the status of the access point at a glance.
An NTP connection error continues to be shown while AP10 is synchronizing
time with the listed NTP servers. It may take up to 15 minutes for it to
disappear even when the NTP servers are reachable. Wait patiently.
To change the configuration of the access point, touch the symbol to
open the Settings screen.

1. Attach AP10 to its mounting location using the most suitable mounting option. Ensure the
unit is securely fixed if you are mounting it higher than 2 m (approx. 6 ft) or in a location
where it would pose a hazard if dropped.

2. Point the antenna up or down for best wireless performance.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable.
4. If the Ethernet cable does not provide power, connect the DC power supply:
a. Connect the plug to the power supply connector of AP10. Make sure the plug is
oriented correctly and goes in all the way.
b. Rotate the power plug slightly to lock it to the connector.
c. Connect the power supply to the wall socket.
5. Secure the power supply so it does not fall or hang on its cable.
6. Wait for the access point to start up. Verify from the touchscreen that the access point has
an IP address, and it is connected to viewLinc.
You may also see an error message about the NTP server connection. It should disappear
within 15 minutes as the access point synchronizes its internal clock with the NTP server.
Accessing the Web Interface
The local touchscreen interface may be hard to access after AP10 has been installed. AP10 also
has a web interface that you can use to remotely view access point status and configure its
settings.
1. Verify the IP address of the access point from the touchscreen interface.
2. Open a web browser.
3. In the address field of the web browser, enter https:// and the IP address of the AP10.
For example: https://192.168.10.47
4. The default user interface language is English. If you want to use another language for this
session, select it from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the login information:
•User name: apadmin
•Password: ap123456 (default)
6. Select Log in to access the interface.

Overview of AP10 Access Point
Vaisala VaiNet Access Point AP10 is a wireless access point that collects data from VaiNet
wireless data loggers and transfers it to viewLinc Enterprise Server using a wired Ethernet
connection. AP10 implements Vaisala's proprietary VaiNet protocol. It can connect up to 32
RFL100 Data Loggers to Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring System. The wireless connection
operates on 868 MHz or 915 MHz frequency band depending on the model. For more
information on viewLinc system installation, see viewLinc Setup Guide (M211820EN).

AP10 can be powered from the Ethernet connector using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or from
the power supply connector using the included AC/DC adapter. If both power sources are
connected, the AC/DC adapter is utilized to power the device. AP10 is IP22 rated, and is
suitable for indoor industrial applications.
AP10 has two user interfaces:
• Touch interface on the front panel. Use this interface to set up the device during
installation and to locally check the connection status.
• Web interface via the Ethernet connection. This interface provides advanced
configuration features and can be accessed remotely.
AP10 Installation Location and Range
In a typical indoor space, the wireless range of AP10 is at least 100 m (328 ft). In an open space
with line-of-sight and no interfering structures, the range can be over 500 m (1640 ft). Up to 8
access points can be placed within range of each other, even side-by-side, as long as they each
have their own VaiNet channel.
Walls and ceilings are good locations for AP10. Line of sight is not required. If possible, place
AP10 in the same floor as the data loggers. Point the antenna up or down for best wireless
performance.
Avoid placing AP10 close to large metal surfaces, as they may reduce the range of the radio
signal.

Delays in a VaiNet Network
VaiNet protocol and VaiNet devices are designed for power-ecient operation. Some of the
design choices that enable long battery life also create significant delays that the users should
be aware of.
Intermittent Radio Connections
Radio connections between VaiNet access points and data loggers are not continuous. Access
points take turns communicating in a two-minute cycle, and connected data loggers send their
measurement data to their connected access point every four minutes. This introduces various
delays:
• Data loggers that are not currently connected (new devices or ones that have fallen out of
radio contact) have to scan for available access points for a complete cycle before they
can decide what is the optimal access point for them. This means that connection
attempts typically take at least a couple of minutes. Additionally, some joining scenarios
may take multiple attempts. For example, when filling a single access point up to its full
capacity of 32 data loggers, it may take an hour for the last data logger to successfully
connect to the access point.
• Access points request missing data and issue management commands to data loggers
within their communication window. Transferring a full month's worth of measurement
data from 32 data loggers using one access point takes several hours.
Data Logger Scanning Interval
Scanning for available access points consumes power. To prevent repeated scanning from
draining their batteries, RFL100 Data Loggers shut down their radio temporarily if they can
find no access points to join. They will resume scanning after a waiting interval that gets
progressively longer if they keep failing to find an access point. The maximum interval is 8
hours and 30 minutes.
This means that when access points become available after an outage, it may take several
hours for data loggers to discover them. This is why you should always keep your access points
powered up, and why you should start your network installation by installing the viewLinc
Enterprise Server and access points first.
You can manually wake up the radio of an RFL100 Data Logger by pressing its
Refresh button. The button is located next to the service port under the silicone
plug.
