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.
2. Use a standard LAN cable to connect the "Ethernet" port on the Wireless Access Point to a
10/100BaseT hub on your LAN.
3. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Wireless Access Point and a convenient power outlet, and
power up.
NOTE: If you wish to use PoE (Power over Ethernet), refer to the following section.
4. Check the LEDs:
