Verifying the Installation

Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with
the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more
security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features.
1. Connect the access point to the LAN
If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network
hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some
wireless clients.
If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer
to the access point, do the following procedures:
A. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.
B. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
C. Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.
2. Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.
Test the access point by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client
devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see
Requirements"
3. Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features.
