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

1. 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 150 meters (450 feet). The
range is reduced, and transmission speed is lower, if there are any obstruc-
tions between Wireless devices.
