3. Hardware installation
Use the WL-130 as an Access Point
1. Locate an optimum location for the WL-130.
The best location for your Access Point is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Connect the WL-130 to your router, hub or switch.
Connect one end of standard UTP cable to the Access Point’s LAN Port and connect
the other end of the cable to a switch, a router or a hub. The Access Point will then be connected to your existed wired LAN Network.
3. Connect the Power Adapter to the WL-130.
Only use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Using a different adapter may damage the product.
The Hardware Installation is complete. Please follow chapter 4 and 5 to configure your access point.
Use the WL-130 as Universal Repeater (non-standard settings)
1. Connect the WL-130 to your PC using a standard UTP cable.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the WL-130.
Only use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Using a different
adapter may damage the product.
3. Follow the steps in chapter 4 and 5 to configure the WL-130 .
The WL-130 should be configured before it can be used in your internal network.
4. Locate an optimum location for the WL-130
The best location for your WL-130 is usually in the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all your mobile stations.
