outlet. The connection labeled P+DATA OUT will have an Ethernet (Cat5,
Cat5e) type cable between this connector and the AP-G200. There is
48VDC power carried on extra pairs in the Ethernet cable. The other
connection is labeled, “DATA IN”. This will be connected to the home
broadband wireless router such as the Linksys WRT-54G. See Photo, “A”
above.
2. Antenna Installation for the AIR802 AP-G300
Before configuring the AP-G300, the antenna should be installed. For your
application, an antenna for outdoor installation probably was chosen for the
most effective coverage of networks in your installation area. A professional
grade cable should be chosen. AIR802 recommends for longer distance than
20 to 30 foot, a 400 series coaxial cable assembly. Otherwise a 195 series
cable assembly should be adequate. The AP-G300 requires a N (plug or
male) type connector for mating. Most outdoor antennas use N (male) type
connectors. Your cable assembly should be purchased with the correct
connector types at each end.
For the most professional installation and to meet the National Electric Code
requirements, you should also purchase a lightning protector to be inserted
into the coax line. This in turn will have a ground wire connected to earth
ground.
3. Gaining Configuration Access to the AIR802 AP-G300 Router
If you have already installed the cable between the PoE injector’s (DATA IN)
connector and the home wireless broadband router, remove the end of the
cable from the home broadband wireless router. Plug it into the Ethernet port
of a computer. There are two ways to configure the AP-300, either through a
configuration tool on the CD or by directly entering the default address into
the web browser. Choose either method (a) or (b) listed below. Before doing
so, you should power down and back up your computer.
a) Insert the CD and click on the file labeled, “WirelessConf” to access the
configuration tool.
b)
Alternatively you may access the configuration directly by entering the
default IP address into a web browser like, Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Instead of entering a web address, clear the space and enter
