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 obstructions 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.
