Connect the Wireless Access Point to a Computer

Set up the wireless access point:
Tip: Before mounting the wireless access point in a high location, first set up and test
the wireless access point to verify wireless network connectivity.
1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network,
record its TCP/IP configuration settings.
3. Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the
subnet mask.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the wireless access point to the computer.
5. Turn on your computer, connect the power adapter to the wireless access point, and verify the
following:
• Power LED. The power LED (PWR) should be lit. If the power LED is not lit, check the
connections and check to see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is
turned off.
• Test LED. The test LED (TEST) blinks when the wireless access point is first turned on.
• LAN LED. The LAN LED (LAN) on the wireless access point should be lit (amber for a
10 Mbps connection and green for a 100 Mbps connection). If not, make sure the Ethernet
cable is securely attached at both ends.
