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 PCs and

wireless accessories.

B

Fix the direction of the

antenna. Try to place it in a

position that will best cover

your wireless network. Nor-

mally, the higher you place the

antenna, the better the perfor-

mance will be. The antenna's

position enhances the receiv-

ing sensitivity.

C

Connect a standard Ethernet

network cable to the Access

Point. Then, connect the other

end of the Ethernet cable to a

switch or router. The Access

Point will then be connected to

your 10/100 Network.

D

Connect the AC Power

Adapter to the Access Point's

Power Socket. Only use the

power adapter supplied with

the Access Point. Use of a dif-

ferent adapter may result in

product damage.

running this Setup Wizard. Opti-

mally, you should perform this

setup through a PC on your

wired network. Click the

Next

button to continue the Setup

Wizard.

The Setup Wizard will run a

search for the Access Point

within your network and then

display a list along with the sta-

tus information for each

access point. If this is the only

access point on your network, it

will be the only one displayed.

If there are more than one dis-

played, select the Access Point

by clicking on it and click the

Yes

button to continue the

Setup Wizard.

E

You will be asked to sign onto

the Access Point you've

selected. Enter the Password

you've assigned. If none has

been assigned, enter the

default password:

.

Then, click the

OK

button. (This

password can be changed

from the Web-based Utility's

Password tab.)

your PC's CD-ROM drive. Your

PC must be on your wired net-
