Installation
This Chapter covers the physical installation of the Wireless Access
Point.
Requirements
Requirements:
TCP/IP network
Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors
Installed Wireless network adapter for each PC that will be wirelessly connected to
the network
Procedure
1. Select a suitable location for the installation of your Wireless Access Point. To
maximize reliability and performance, follow these guidelines:
Use an elevated location, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle.
Place the Wireless Access Point near the center of your wireless coverage
area.
If possible, ensure there are no thick walls or metal shielding between the
Wireless Access Point and Wireless stations. Under ideal conditions, the
Wireless Access Point has a range of around 150 meters (450 feet). The
range is reduced, and transmission speed is lower, if there are any obstruc-
tions between Wireless devices.
