Important If you use a hub, the device you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all other devices on the network. A standard hub should work fine. Some switches, however, do not allow directed or subnet broadcasts through. You may have to configure the switch to allow directed broadcasts.
If for initial configuration use a direct wired connection (using an Ethernet cable) between the access point and your computer, you will need to reconfigure the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access point so that the access point is no longer connected directly to your computer but instead is connected to the LAN (either using a Hub or directly).
It is possible to detect access points on the network (using Kickstart) with a wireless connection. However, we strongly advise against using this method. In most environments you may have no way of knowing whether you are actually connecting to the intended AP and also because many of the initial configuration changes required will cause you to lose connectivity with the AP over a wireless connection.
2 Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of the access point, then plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (preferably, using a surge protector).
Setting up connections for a guest networkThe Gateway 7001 Series
■Physically, by connecting the two LAN ports on the access point to different networks with two different cables, one to the internal LAN and the other to the public Guest network.
■Virtually, by defining two different Virtual LANs through the Administration UI.
Hardware connections for a guest VLAN
If you plan to configure a guest network using VLANs, do the following:
■Connect eth0 to a
■Define VLANs on that switch
