Your O2 Surf and O2Wind is now configured as a Client and an Access Point. You can now disconnect
the Category 5 Ethernet cable from the LAN port of your computer and connect it to the LAN port of the
POE injector for the O2 Surf. This will give you an ethernet connection from the LAN port of the router
to the LAN port of the POE injector. Antennas can now be connected to the integrated N‐Type connector
and the system can be deployed. If you are using a router to rebroadcast a WiFi signal you will need to
give the router a different IP address than anything else on the network. Since this may not be your own
network, you may have to change the IP address several times as the network you are trying to connect to
may have more than one networking device running. If you are using another brands router, please
contact the manufacture of that router directly for directions on how to change the IP address and disable
DHCP.
