2. Installation

① Choose the place with the consideration of power outlet and network

connection (RJ-45 Cable connection) to install the Access Point.

② Plug in the power cord to the power outlet and the power adapter.

Plug in the DC output to “DC in”. Make sure that the “Power” LED is on. If the “Power” LED is not on, please check the connections of the power cord.

Notice : Use the supplied power adapter(DC 5V, 2A) only to prevent the permanent failure of AP.

③ Confirm that “Wireless” LED of AP blinks.

If not, confirm that Wireless LAN Card of AP is properly mounted in case for 4000AP and 4000AP(DA). The card should be inserted or extracted when the power is off, and we are not responsible for any product failure due to disassembly by users.

Notice : Use the supplied Wireless LAN card(3.3V) only to prevent the permanent failure of AP.

④ Attach UTP Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Connector.

Make it sure that the “Ethernet” LED is on. If the “Ethernet” LED is on, you can use the existing network with the Access Point; otherwise check the UTP cable connections.

⑤ Attach RS-232C serial cable to the Access Point and the PC.

The parameters of Access Point can be configured through the connection of RS-232C serial cable to the PC(Refer to Chapter 17).

⑥ When AP Manager is used, you may skip the step ⑤.

⑦ Change settings of AP according to user’s selection referring User’ s Guide.

⑧ Insert Wireless LAN Card into your PC.

Wireless LAN Cards are available both for desktop and notebook PCs. PCI Wireless LAN Card is used for the desktop PC where as the PCMCIA Wireless LAN Card is for the notebook PC only. For more information about PCI and PCMCIA Wireless LAN Cards, please visit http://www.magiclan.com .

⑨ Enter the same ESSID that you have set for the Access Point, using the

Wireless LAN Card utility running on your PC.

⑩ Through AP, which is installed and set by the method above, you can

communicate between server and PC with installed Wireless LAN Card.
