3.2 Hardware Installation Steps
Step 1: Push the button on the side to remove upper housing.
Step 2: Pass Ethernet cable through the hole; insert the cable into the secondary port.
Note: RJ-45 8P8C Ethernet cable is required.

13
Step 3: Install the upper housing and make sure the housing is well installed.
Step 4: Complete the hardware installation as shown below.
Install PoE Injector
DC: Insert adapter
PoE: This jack is linked to the secondary port of the AP with RJ45.
LAN: This jack is linked to the LAN side of a PC/hub or router/ADSL modem device with RJ45.
There is no software driver or utility installation needed — only the configuration settings. Refer to
Chapter 4 for software configuration.
Notice: It will take about 50 seconds to complete the boot-up sequence after powering on. The Power
LED will light, then the WLAN Activity LED will flash to indicate the WLAN interface is enabled and
operational.
