Check that the Access Point is connected to your switch or hub and
■
that all the equipment is powered on. Check that the LAN port link
status LED on the Access Point are illuminated, and that any
corresponding LEDs are also illuminated.

■
you do not have a faulty cable. Try a different cable. Check also that
the Uplink/Normal switch is in the correct position.
If you have connected your Access Point, admin computer and switch
together but cannot browse to the Access Point configuration screens,
check the following:
Confirm that the physical connection between your computer and the
■
Access Point is OK, and that the link status LEDs on the Access Point
and NIC are illuminated and indicating the same speed (10Mbps or
100Mbps). Some NICs do not have status LEDs, in which case a
diagnostic program may be available that can give you this
information.
When entering the address of the Access Point into your web browser,

IP address of the Access Point so that it is in the same subnet as your
admin computer.
