age, place it next to your computer.

2 Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s net-

work port to one of the two ports on the AP.

3 Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP to

a convenient (and protected) power source.

Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 POE port to a PoE injector or switch for both power and network connectivity.

4 Verify that the Power LED on the external enclosure is a

steady green.

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP

2 Edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings as follows:

• Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties
