4.2 Connect The Access Point To Network And Power
The next step is to set up the network and power connections.
1. Do one of the following to create an Ethernet connection between the access point and
the computer:
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the
other end to the same hub where your PC is connected. (See Figure 4.2 on page 39.)
Or
Connect one end of a crossover

cable to the network port on the access point and the
other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC. (See Figure 2 on page 39.)
Notes: If you use a hub, the device you use must permit broadcast signals from the access
point to reach all other devices on the network. A standard hub should work fine.
Some switches, however, do not allow directed or subnet broadcasts through. You
may have to configure the switch to allow directed broadcasts.
For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be
sure to set your PC to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP
address on the access point. (The default IP address for the access point is
192.168.1.10.)
If for initial configuration you use a direct Ethernet (wired) connection (via crosso-
ver cable) between the access point and the computer, you will need to reconfigure
the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access point so that the
access point is no longer connected directly to the PC but instead is connected to
the LAN (either via a Hub as shown in Figure 4.2, or directly).

If the access point hardware supports MDI and MDI-X auto functions, you can use a regular Ethernet cable
for a direct connection from PC to AP. A crossover cable will work also, but is not necessary if you have
MDI and MDI-X auto sensing.ports.
