Connecting the Wireless
Network Access Point
A. Locate an optimum location for the Access Point. The best place for the Access Point is
usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile sta-
tions.
B. Fix the direction of the antenna. Try to place it in a position which can best cover your
wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna,
the better the performance will be. The antenna's position
enhances the receiving sensitivity.
C. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Access
Point. Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a
switch or hub. The Access Point will then be connected to your
10/100 Network.
D. Connect the AC Power Adapter to the Access Point's Power
Socket. Only use the power adapter supplied with the Access
Point. Use of a different adapter may result in product damage.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to setup
the Access Point.
Now that you've connected the Access Point to your wired network, you are ready to begin set-
ting it up. This Setup Wizard will take you through all the steps necessary to configure the
Access Point.
A. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC's CD-ROM
drive.
