Wireless-G Exterior Access Point
Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Exterior Access
Point

Overview

This chapter explains how to mount and connect the Access Point.
Depending on your application, you might want to set up the IP address of the device first before mounting
the device. Refer to "Chapter 5: Setting Up the Wireless-G Exterior Access Point".

Hardware Installation

1. Locate an optimum location on a wall for the Access Point. Refer to the antenna pattern in "Chapter 3:
Getting to Know the Wireless-G Exterior Access Point" to adjust the angle of the Access Point for your
application.
2. Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the locations of the two wall-mount slots that are on the
bottom of the mounting plate. Then, install a screw into each location.
3. Use four screws (included with the Access Point) to attach the mounting plate to the back panel of the
Access Point.
4. Connect the included Category 5e Ethernet network cable to the Ethernet network port of the Access
Point. Then, screw the connector cap tightly onto the port, so the Access Point has a water-resistant seal.
5. If you want to connect an optional, high-gain external antenna, unscrew the cap that protects the Type-N
antenna port, then, connect your antenna cable to this port.
