CONNECTING THE BRIDGE
The following procedure describes how to connect the Bridge:
•
Place the Bridge in a dry, clean location near the device to which it will be connected. The
location is required to have an AC power source and be within 300 feet (100 meters) of an
IEEE 802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN Access Point with DHCP enabled. The location
should be away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens,
refrigerators or other equipment that could cause radio-signal interference.
Note:
Do not connect the Bridge to the intended Ethernet client at this time.
•
Raise the antenna on the Bridge so it is pointing vertically.
•
Connect the supplied power adapter to the Bridge and to a grounded 110/240V, 50-60Hz
AC power source.
•
If your Access Point is using WEP or WPA, disable the security. You can re-enable WEP or
WPA after the Bridge has been configured.
•
Connect the RJ-45 jack on the Bridge’s Ethernet cable to an RJ-45 jack on your Ethernet-
ready device.
