Connect the System
The Router can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the following guidelines:
•
•
Keep the Router away from any heating devices.
Do not place the Router in a dusty or wet environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the Router.
Basic Installation Procedure
1.Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Router to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the back of the Router into the desired positions. For more effective coverage, position one antenna along the vertical axis and the other antenna along the horizontal axis.
(The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along alternate axes.)
2.Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the Router to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
