Installation of the access point devices involves the following steps:

Reset-or-boot (standard setting): Press the button briefly to restart
the device. Pressing the button for 5 seconds or longer restarts the
device and resets the configuration to its factory settings. All LEDs on
the device light up continuously. Once the switch is released the
device will restart with the restored factory settings.
After applying the reset, the device will start fresh with factory
defaults. All settings will be lost. Therefore, you should save the cur-
rent configuration if possible before the reset!
After a reset, the LANCOM access point returns to managed mode, in
which case the configuration cannot be directly accessed via the
WLAN interface!
Antennas —screw the supplied antennas onto the back side of the
device.
Antennas are only to be attached or changed when the device is
switched off. Mounting or demounting antennas while the device
switched on may cause the destruction of the WLAN module!
If the reverse SMA antennas are attached to the device directly, the
quality of data transfer may be compromised if both WLAN modules
are operated in the same frequency band at once. In this situation, at
least one of the wireless modules should be operated with an external
antenna.
LAN – You can first connect the access point to your LAN. For that pur-
pose, plug the included network cable (green plugs) into the LAN connec-
tor of the device
connecting socket of your local network (resp. into a free socket of a hub/
switch). Alternatively, you can connect also a single PC.
The LAN connector identifies automatically the contact assignement
(Auto MDI/X) as well as the transfer rate (10/100 Mbp) of the connected
network device (autosensing).
