2. Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedure for the SpaceLink 802.11g
Access Point and includes a description of the LEDs found on the unit.
Installation Procedure
Follow these steps to install the SpaceLink Access Point.
1. Determine the best location for the SpaceLink Access Point. Keep in
mind the following considerations:
•
The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to
the network must not exceed 100 meters.
•
For standard placement, try to place the Access Point on a flat, sturdy
surface as far from the ground as possible, such as on top of a desk
or bookcase, keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from
direct sunlight.
•
Try to centrally locate the Access Point or its antennas so that it will
provide coverage to all of the wireless mobile devices in the area.
•
Use only the power supply that came with this unit. Other power
supplies may fit but the voltage and power may not be compatible.
It is the responsibility of the installer and users of the SpaceLink
802.11g Access Point to guarantee that the antenna is operated at
least 20 centimeters from any person. This is necessary to insure
that the product is operated in accordance with the RF Guidelines
for Human Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal Com-
munications Commission.
2. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Wall mounting is also
possible for the Access Point. Refer to the section entitled "Wall
Mounting Option" on the next page for details.
3. Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Access Point and
attach the other end to the RJ-45 10Base-T port of a network hub, switch,
router, or patch panel (possibly on a wall).
The SpaceLink 802.11g Access Point does not support 100Base-
TX; it only supports 10Base-T. Hubs or switches that supports both
10Base-T and 100Base-TX may be used.
