    Installation Item Description Switch port 3Com recommends that you install and configure the 3Com Wireless LAN switch before installing the access point. Set the port type on the switch to an AP2750 access point. Cabling Make sure that standard Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling is installed at the site before you install the access point.
  • Page 4: Attaching The Antennas

    Attaching the Antennas Carefully unpack the standard detachable antennas. Screw the antennas on to the antenna connectors on the access point and hand-tighten them. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas to fine-tune coverage in your area. For best results, adjust the antennas so that they are perpendicular with the floor and ceiling.
