Installation

This Chapter covers the physical installation of the ADW-4302v2.

Requirements

Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.

TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.

For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and a DSL connec- tion.

To use the Wireless Access Point, all Wireless devices must be compliant with the IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11b specifications.

Figure 4: Installation Diagram1. Choose an Installation Site

Select a suitable place on the network to install the ADW-4302v2.

For best Wireless reception and performance, the ADW- 4302v2 should be positioned in a central location with minimum obstructions between the ADW-4302v2 and the PCs.

Also, if using multiple Access Points, adjacent AccessPoints should use different Channels.2. Connect LAN Cables

Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the ADW- 4302v2. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.

If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable. Any LAN port on the ADW-4302v2 will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required.
