and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading
the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the access point, and then compare the total with
the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually
printed on devices near the AC power connectors.
■
When using either the AC power adapter or PoE power, do not install the
access point in an environment where the operating ambient temperature
might exceed 40°C (104°F).
Make sure airflow around the sides of the access point is not restricted.

Turn on the access point and observe the LEDs.
4.
Position the access point
on a flat surface, such as a desktop, or mounted on a wall (mounting
screws and bracket are not included in the access point package).
5.
Connect the power to the access point
point is mounted, plug it into a nearby main power source using the
supplied AC adapter, or connect it to a switch that provides Power over
