Installation Checklist

To assist you with your installation and to provide a historical record of completed tasks and users, use the following Installation Checklist. Make a copy of this checklist and mark the entries as you complete each task. When the checklist is completed, include a copy of the checklist for each router in your Site Log along with other records for your new router. See Appendix C, “Site Log” for information on the Site Log, including a sample Site Log.
