3.1.4 Installation Steps

Please follow the following steps to install Edimax AC-M3000:

1.Connect the 12V power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel. The Power LED should be on to indicate a proper connection.

2.Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN1 Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a ADSL modem, a cable modem or a switch/hub of the network. The LED of WAN1 port should be on to indicate a proper connection.

3.Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN5~LAN8 Ports on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an administrator’s PC. The LED of the connected port should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Uncontrolled Port.)

4.Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN1~LAN4 Ports on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a client PC, AP or switch in managed network. The LED of the connected port should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Controlled Port.)

Attention:

1.Edimax AC-M3000 supports Auto Sensing MDI/MDIX. You may use either straight through or cross over cable to connect the Ethernet Port.

2.Usually a straight cable could be applied when Edimax AC-M3000 connects to an Access Point which supports automatic crossover. If after the AP hardware resets, the Edimax AC-M3000 could not be able to connect to the AP while connecting with a straight cable, the user have to pull out and plug-in the straight cable again. This scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.

After the hardware of Edimax AC-M3000 is installed completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following sections.
