3. Test Wireless Connectivity
Using a PC with a wireless adapter configured according to the wireless settings you
just set in the WNDAP330, establish a wireless connection to the WNDAP330.
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WNDAP330
in your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back
to its original TCP/IP settings.
Now, Deploy the WNDAP330
1.
Disconnect the WNDAP330 and position it where you will deploy it. The best
location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2.
Position the antenna. Vertical positioning provides best side-to-side coverage.
Horizontal positioning provides best top-to-bottom coverage.
3.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your WNDAP330 Access Point to a LAN port on
your router, switch, or hub.
4.
Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in
to a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN lights should light up.
