Chapter 2  Wireless LAN Access Point 

Connection 

1.  Locate an optimum location for the Wireless LAN Access Point.  

The best location for your Access Point is usually at the center of your wireless 
network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations. 

 

2.  Connect the Wireless LAN Access Point to your 10/100Mbps network. 

Connect one end of standard UTP cable to the Access Point’s Uplink Port and 
connect the other end of the cable to a switch or a hub’s regular port. The Access 
Point will then be connected to your existed 10/100Mbps Network. 
 

3.  Connect your PCs to the Wireless LAN Access Point directly. 

This Access Point has a built-in 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch, allowing you to 
build a wired LAN network directly by connecting your PCs to the Access Point. 
Connect one end of standard UTP cable to the Access Point and connect the other 
end of the cable to your PCs. A small LAN network will be built. 

 

4.  Connect the AC Power Adapter to the Wireless LAN Access Point’s Power 

Socket.  

Only use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Using a different 
adapter may damage the product. 

 
 

The Hardware Installation is complete.
