2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation

1. Decide where to place your Wireless Access Point

You can place your Wireless Access Point on a desk or other flat surface, or you can mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Access Point in the center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven.

2. Setup LAN connection a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet

port to one of the LAN ports (number 1-2) on the AP. Repeat the process to connect other computers to the AP. If you need to connect more than two computers to the AP, use a 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch (preferred) or hub and connect the Ethernet cable from the AP to the switch/hub’s UPLINK port. You may need to switch on the UPLINK feature on the switch/hub. The AP supports up to 253 network computers and devices.

b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this pro duct at a proper position to gain the best

transmits performance.

Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN connections for this product.

Note: If an UPLINK port is not available, simply connect a

crossover Ethernet cable from the AP to the switch/hub.
