1.5 Hardware Installation of Wireless MIMO Multi-Function
Access Point
Follow these istructions to make a correct cabling of Wireless MIMO Multi-
Function Access Point:
•Wireless Multi-Function MIMO Access Point can be connect through LAN
port (RJ45) at LAN network.
•Connect power supply AC-DC (1A / 5V) to device (DC IN) placed in the
rear panel.

1.6 Considerations about installation
In best conditions, Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point can provide a
large coverage (about one hundred of meters).
It’s necessary to consider some ambiental factors which can attenuate radio
signals; walls attenuate radio signals and metallic objects reflects them. They can
generate dangerous multiple path (MIMO Technology use multiple path to have a
better throughput than IEEE802.11g).
It’s also important to considerate radio interference by others radio devices
operating in these frequencies.
Please follow these instructions to increase Wireless MIMO Multi-Function
Access Point coverage area:
•Every wall attenuate radio signal; put the device in an appropriate place
to minimize the number of wall to cross.
•Door or large metallic surfaces are not crossed by electromagnetic
propagation.
•Get further Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point from any device
that generates RF emissions.
•During wireless client positioning, you have to minimize the number of
wall which radio signal has to cross. See follow picture:

Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point
A02-AP2-W54M Pag. 5
Client placed in pos B will have a large attenuation and worst
performance than client placed in pos A.
You have to place Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point in the
middle of room to increase performance.

CHAPTER 2: Using Wireless MIMO Multi-
Function Access Point
2.1 Cautions for Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access
Point
Do not place the Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point under high
humidity and high temperature. It can damage the Access Point.
Do not use the same power source for Wireless MIMO Access Point with
other equipment.
Do not open or repair the case yourself.
If the Wireless MIMO Access Point is too hot, turn off the power immediately
and have a qualified serviceman repair it.
Place the Wireless Access Point on a stable surface.
Only use the power adapter that comes with the package.
Do NOT upgrade firmware on any Atlantis Land product over a wireless
connection. Failure of the device may result. Use only hard-wired network
connections.
2.2 The Front LEDs

2.4 Cabling
Connect to the Switch/Hub
•Plug in one end of the RJ45 network cable to the Switch/Hub port
•Plug in the other end of the RJ45 network cable to the Wireless Access
Point
Check the installation
The LEDs of the Access Point are clearly visible and the status of the network link
can be seen instantly:
•With the power source on, once the device is connected, the Power, LAN
and WLAN port LEDs will light up indicating a normal status.
•If the LAN Port’s Link indicator does not light up then check the RJ-45
cable if it is firmly feed to the RJ45 port, while the LAN is link up to the
Switch/Hub, the LAN port’s LED will light up.
