Unpacking the EasyADC System
STEP 1

Shoulder
screws
(4 places)
Brass
inserts
Attach both antennas to the WA22. Tighten the nut to finger tightness.
If you are not using the mounting bracket, continue with Step 8. To use the
mounting bracket, continue with Step 4.
Insert one shoulder screw into each of the four brass inserts and tighten them
securely.
Using the bracket as a template, mark the mounting hole locations on the
mounting surface.
Get these items from the Accessories box:
• MobileLAN power bridge and AC power cord
• 2 Ethernet cables (Or, your own cables if you need longer than 3.05 m
[10 ft])
• 2 antennas
On the WA22, remove the antenna port caps and the plastic plug in the
Ethernet port.
Before you perform this step, choose a location for the WA22 based on these
guidelines:
• Place the WA22 horizontally on a desk or counter, or mount it
vertically on a wall with the included mounting bracket.
• Mount the WA22 as high as possible (at about two-thirds of the floor-toceiling distance), close to the area where the CK30s will be used.
• Keep the WA22 clear of metal surfaces like beams or girders, which may
decrease the radio range.
• Keep large quantities of paper products from blocking the line-of-sight
between the WA22 and the CK30s, as these products will absorb the radio
signals and make communications unreliable.

Connect the Ethernet cable from the WA22 to the Power & Data Out port on
the power bridge.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data In port on the power bridge to a
port on an Ethernet hub or switch connected to your LAN.
Connect the AC power cord to the power bridge and an AC outlet.
On the WA22, the green Power light turns on and stays solid and the other
lights start blinking as the WA22 boots. The blue light turns on and remains
on after the WA22 has finished booting.
Connect one Ethernet cable to the WA22 Ethernet port.
Route the Ethernet cables through the cable routing channels in the bracket.
Mount the WA22 in the bracket by inserting the shoulder screws into the
keyhole slots in the bracket. Slide the WA22 down until it is firmly seated.

Get the EasyADC CD from the shipping box.
Insert the EasyADC CD into the CD drive on your designated EasyADC
PC. This is the same PC that is currently running the Microsoft Great Plains
Client. The installation begins and you are prompted to install components
of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install .NET components. After this part
is complete, you are prompted to install Adobe® Reader®.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Adobe Reader. If Reader is already
installed on this PC, you will see a screen that offers two choices: Repair or
Remove. Choose Repair and continue.
When you are ready to continue, click Return to Installation. The EasyADC
Main Menu appears.
After Reader is installed, the
EasyADC Main Menu screen
appears.
Click the icon next to “Start Here.”
The Getting Started with EasyADC
screen appears.
Follow the prompts to learn more
about your EasyADC System.
In the Reference menu, you can
find links to PDF files of the user
manuals for each component in
your system.
Click the icon next to “Install
EasyADC Software.” The Install
Type screen appears.
Make sure that Server Computer
is selected.

printing. For help with remote printing capability, see your consulting
partner. Do not choose this option right now.
