Deploy the WPN802 and Verify Wireless Connectivity
When you have configured the Basic Settings and the Wireless Settings, then you can deploy the
WPN802.
1. Disconnect the WPN802 and position it where you will deploy it.
The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
Use the plastic clips provided to place the WPN802
vertically if it is on a metal surface.

switch, or hub.

Note: By default, the WPN802 is set with the DHCP client disabled. If your network uses
dynamic IP addresses, you will need to change this setting.
