Basic Installation Procedure
1.Connect the LAN: You can connect the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You can also connect the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the back of the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway into the desired positions. For more effective coverage, you may want to position one antenna along the vertical axis and the other antenna along the horizontal axis. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along alternate axes.)
2.Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to a Cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
