Wireless-G Access Point

Step 1: Connecting the

Wireless-G Access Point

A. Locate an optimum location for the Access Point. The best place for the

Access Point is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of

sight to all of your mobile stations.

B. Fix the direction of the antenna. Try to place it in a position that can best

cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna,

the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the

receiving sensitivity. Both antennas should be perpendicular to the ground

and parallel to each other.

C. Connect the included Category 5 Ethernet network cable to the Access

Point. Then connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or hub.

The Access Point will then be connected to your 10/100 network.

Step 2: Setting up the Wireless-G

Access Point

Now that you’ve connected the Access Point to your wired network, you are

ready to begin setting it up. The Setup Wizard will take you through all the

steps necessary to get the Access Point connecting your wireless network to

your wired network and communicating more efficiently.

A. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. Optimally, your

PC should be on your wired network.

B. The Welcome screen should appear on your monitor. If it does not, this

means the autorun is not functioning. Start the autorun manually by

clicking the Start button, selecting Run, and typing D:\setup.exe (if “D” is

your PC’s CD-ROM drive). Then click the Setup button.

D. Connect the AC power adapter to the Access Point’s Power port. Only use

the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Use of a different adapter

may result in product damage.
