Chapter 2
Installation
This Chapter covers the physical installation of the Wireless Access Point.

Requirements

Requirements:
•
TCP/IP network
•
Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors
•
Installed Wireless network adapter for each PC that will be wirelessly connected to the
network

Procedure

Before commencing, select a suitable location for the installation of your Wireless Access
Point. To maximize reliability and performance, follow these guidelines:
•
Use an elevated location, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle.
•
Place the Wireless Access Point near the center of your wireless coverage area.
•
If possible, ensure there are no thick walls or metal shielding between the Wireless Access
Point and Wireless stations. Under ideal conditions, the Wireless Access Point has a range
of around 100 meters (300 feet). The range is reduced, and transmission speed is lower, if
there are any obstructions between Wireless devices.
