2. Installation
①Choose the place with the consideration of power outlet and network
connection (RJ-45 Cable connection) to install the Access Point.
②Plug in the power cord to the power outlet and the power adapter.
Plug in the DC output to “DC in”. Make sure that the “Power”LED is on. If the
“Power”LED is not on, please check the connections of the power cord.
Notice : Use the supplied power adapter(DC 5V, 2A) only to prevent the
permanent failure of AP.
③Confirm that “Wireless”LED of AP blinks.
If not, confirm that Wireless LAN Card of AP is properly mounted in case for
4000AP and 4000AP(DA). The card should be inserted or extracted when the
power is off, and we are not responsible for any product failure due to
disassembly by users.
Notice : Use the supplied Wireless LAN card(3.3V) only to prevent the
permanent failure of AP.
④Attach UTP Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Connector.
Make it sure that the “Ethernet” LED is on. If the “Ethernet” LED is on, you
can use the existing network with the Access Point; otherwise check the UTP
cable connections.
⑤Attach RS-232C serial cable to the Access Point and the PC.
The parameters of Access Point can be configured through the connection of
RS-232C serial cable to the PC(Refer to Chapter 17).
