d.Connect the access point cables (Ethernet, optional power, optional antennas). For instructions see the “Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables” section on page 2-7.

e.On power up, verify that the access point is operating normally by checking the LEDs. For additional information, refer to the “Checking the Autonomous Access Point LEDs” section on page 5-2or the “Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-3.
