Before Installing

Before installing the Access Point, be aware that this device can subject the user to
electrical shock. Follow the guidelines in this manual and the manuals of any other
equipment used during the installation. Failure to do so may result in injury or
damage to the equipment.
Important: This Access Point is a 2.4 GHz low-power RF
device. It is intended for home and office use in all EU member
states except France, where restrictive use applies.
Connecting the Access Point
To connect the Access Point to a network hub, switch, or computer (via Ethernet
cable), use the following procedure:
1. Plug one end of the Power cable in the Power port on the back of the Access
Point, and the other end in a power outlet. The Power LED on the front panel
of the Access Point flashes green until the initialization process is complete,
then glows steadily green.
2a. If connecting to a network hub or switch, plug one end of a cross-over
Ethernet cable (included with the Access Point) in the LAN port on the back
of the Access Point , and plug the other end into the hub or switch. See the
figure on the next page.
2b. If connecting to a computer for wireless network usage or for adminstration
of an access point (using the Web Configuration Utility to change an access
point's settings, for example), plug one end of a straight-through Ethernet
cable (purchased separately) in the LAN port on the back of the Access Point,
and plug the other end into the computer. See the figure below.
