Tabletop Mounting
To install the access point on a flat surface such as a table or desktop:
1
Remove the backing from the four rubber feet and attach them on the bottom of
the mounting bracket that is attached to the access point.
2
Place the access point on the table.
3
Connect the Ethernet cable (and power cable, if applicable) to the port(s) on the
front of the access point.
5
Connecting the Access Point to a Switch
3Com recommends that you install and configure the 3Com Wireless LAN switch before installing the
access point. If the switch is already installed and configured for the access point, you can immediately
verify the cable connection when you plug the cable into the access point.
You can connect the access point directly to a 3Com Wireless LAN Switch port or indirectly to
3Com Wireless LAN switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use
Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling for each access point connection.
•
To connect the access point directly to a 3Com Wireless LAN Switch, configure the switch port
as an AP2750 access point and then insert the cable into the switch and verify the link.
•
To connect the access point indirectly to a 3Com Wireless LAN Switch through the network,
configure a Distributed Access Point connection on the switch.
CAUTION:
Do not place the access point on any type of metal surface. Select a location that
is clear of obstructions and provides good reception.
WARNING:
Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the access point
during periods of lightning activity.
Note:
For instructions on configuring the access point, see the
Mobility System
Configuration Guide
or the
3Com Wireless LAN Switch Reference Manual
