Installation Procedure

Follow these steps to install the ASUS 802.11g WLAN AP.
1. Determine the best location for the ASUS 802.11g WLAN AP. 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.
• For external antenna mounting, install the external antennas so that they are
clear of obstructions. Refer to the documentation that came with the antennas
for mounting and installation instructions.
• 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.
Note: The ASUS AP 802.11g AP should be operated at least 20 centimeters from any person.
This is necessary to ensure that the product is operated in accordance with the RF Guidelines
for Human Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal Communications Commission.
2. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Wall mounting is also possible
for the Access Point. Refer to the section 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).
4. Attach one end of the bundled AC power adapter to the back of the ASUS
802.11g AP and the other end to a power outlet.
