Connecting the Access Point
A
Locate an optimum location
for the Access Point. The best
place for the Access Point is
usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of
sight to all of your PCs and
wireless accessories.
B
Fix the direction of the
antenna. Try to place it in a
position that will best cover
your wireless network. Nor-
mally, the higher you place the
antenna, the better the perfor-
mance will be. The antenna's
position enhances the receiv-
ing sensitivity.
C
Connect a standard Ethernet
network cable to the Access
Point. Then, connect the other
end of the Ethernet cable to a
switch or router. The Access
Point will then be connected to
your 10/100 Network.
D
Connect the AC Power
Adapter to the Access Point's
Power Socket. Only use the
power adapter supplied with
the Access Point. Use of a dif-
ferent adapter may result in
product damage.
