Hardware Installation
1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In
general, the best location is at the center of your wireless
coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try
to place the access point in a position that can best cover its
Basic Service Set. (Refer to “Infrastructure Wireless LAN” on
page 3-3.) Normally, the higher you place the access point,
the better the performance.
2. Mount the Access Point – The access point can be mounted
on any horizontal surface or wall.
Mounting on a horizontal surface – To keep the access point
from sliding on the surface, attach the four rubber feet
provided in the accessory kit to the embossed circles on the
bottom of the access point.
Mounting on a wall – The access point should be mounted
only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood
or its equivalent. Mark the position of the mounting screws
(included) on the wall. Set the 5/8-inch number 12 wood
screws into the wall, leaving about 3 mm (0.12 in.) clearance
from the wall. And then slide the access point down onto the
screws.
3. Lock the Access Point in Place – To prevent unauthorized
removal of the access point, you can use a Kensington Slim
MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access
point to a fixed object.
4. Connect the Power Cord – Connect the power adapter to
the access point, and the power cord to an AC power outlet.
