5.When the AP-700 boots, it performs a series of self-tests.

6.Wait for the power LED to turn green before proceeding.

Installing the Security Cover

You can optionally install a security cover to deter unauthorized access to the AP-700. The security cover is a plastic cover that prevents access to the cabling and to the Reset and Reload buttons.

NOTE: You cannot connect an RS-232 cable to the AP-700 when a security cover is installed.

1.Slide the hinging end of the security cover into the hole on the rear panel of the AP-700 to the left of the connectors.

2.Use two screws to screw the right side of the security cover to the RS-232 screw holes on the rear panel of the AP-700.

Mounting the AP-700

Proxim recommends that you have a site survey professionally conducted to determine the best location for the AP. For professional site surveyors, Ekahau Site Survey software is included in the Xtras folder on the Installation CD-ROM.

Once you have chosen a final location for your unit, mount the AP-700 to a wall, to a T-bar ceiling, or in a vehicle as follows:

Mounting the AP-700 to a Ceiling

1.Attach the mounting plate to the bottom of the AP-700 by lining up the keyholes and attaching it with two screws.

2.Snap the tabs onto the ceiling T-bar. Rotate the AP-700 until it snaps on to the T-bar.
