Networking
Networking the access point using a DHCP-enabled router automatically assigns an IP address, simplifying network setup. The network connection
allows the access point to share data with networked components and enables wireless control of the transmitters. To manually assign an IP address to
the access point, use Wireless Workbench 6.
Reset Option
Pressing the reset button located on the bottom of the housing restores the access point to the following settings:
• IP Address Mode = DHCP
• Channel Agility = Enabled
• Device ID = AD610
• Device Association Tables will be cleared

Positioning the Access Point
• Provide a clear line of sight between the access point and transmitters. Mount the access point on a microphone stand or wall to elevate above
obstructions
• Position the antennas vertically for optimal performance. The swivel joint on each antenna allows a wide range of positioning to maintain a vertical
alignment
• If possible, move access point farther from other 2.4 GHz devices
