6.3 Installing Your AP54G
Positioning
The AP54G can be free-standing, wall- or ceiling-mounted. Before making the
AP54G workable, please note that the AP54G should be placed in a location with the
followings:
-
Easy accessibility:
you can conveniently connect the AP54G to the
xDSL/Cable Modem through the Ethernet port.
-
Easy LEDs observation:
you may monitor the real-time networking status
and take instant measures as problems arise.
-
Maximum wireless coverage:
to achieve the maximal coverage, the AP54G
should be placed at a high level in position without obstacles and defiladed
space. No matter how you install the AP54G--- in a wall-mounted or
free-standing fashion, remember the antenna should always point vertically
upward.
Connecting Cables
1. Plug the DC end of the power adapter into the connector of the AP54G, and the
AC end to the wall outlet later.
2. For wired connection, connect the AP54G to the LAN port.
Power Up
When the DC end of the power adapter is connected the AP54G, plug the AC end of
the power adapter to the wall outlet can power up the system; and, the system will
perform POST (Power-On-Self-Test) to diagnose the system.
