1 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.

2 Configuring the Access Point

NOTE: The Access Point should be
configured through the Setup Wizard
and set up through a wired network
connection.
Now that you've connected the
Access Point to your wired network,
you are ready to begin setting it up.
This Setup Wizard will take you
through all the steps necessary to
configure the Access Point.
A Insert the Setup Wizard CD into
	your PC's CD-ROM drive. Your
	PC must be on your wired net-
	work to set up the Access Point.
B	The Setup Wizard's Welcome
	screen should appear on your
	monitor. If it does not, this
	means the Setup Wizard is not
	automatically running as it
	should. Start the Setup Wizard
	manually by clicking the Start
	button, selecting Run, and typ-
	ing d:\setup.exe (where "D" is
	your PC's CD-ROM drive). Click
	the Setup button to continue	B
	this Setup Wizard. Clicking
	Install Linksys Wireless Guard
	Client installs the client soft-
	ware, and the User Guide but-
	ton opened this Guide. To exit
	this Setup Wizard, click the Exit
	button.

C The next screen displayed dis- plays how the Access Point should be connected while running this Setup Wizard. Opti- mally, you should perform this setup through a PC on your wired network. Click the Next button to continue the Setup Wizard.

D The Setup Wizard will run a search for the Access Point within your network and then display a list along with the sta- tus information for each access point. If this is the only access point on your network, it will be the only one displayed. If there are more than one dis- played, select the Access Point by clicking on it and click the Yes button to continue the Setup Wizard.

E You will be asked to sign onto the Access Point you've selected. Enter the Password you've assigned. If none has been assigned, enter the default password: admin. Then, click the OK button. (This password can be changed from the Web-based Utility's Password tab.)
