Installing AG-3621 Access Point

Before installing, you should make sure that Ethernet network is perfectly working. You will be

connecting the AG-3621 to the Ethernet network so that computers with 10/100 Fast Ethernet

adapters will communicate computers on the Ethernet.

1.

SET UP THE AG-3621 ACCESS POINT Tip:

Before mounting the AG-3621 in a high location, first set up and test the AG-3621 to verify

wired network connectivity.

a. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your

network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.

b. Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.1.x (x cannot be 1)and

255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.

c. Connect an Ethernet cable from the AG-3621 to the computer.

d. Turn on your computer, connect the power adapter to the AG-3621 and verify the following:

– The PWR power light goes on.

– The LAN light of the wireless access point is lit when connected to a powered on computer.

2. 2 CONFIGURE LAN AND WIRELESS ACCESS

a. Configure the AG-3621 Ethernet port for LAN access

• Connect to the AG-3621 by opening your browser and entering http://192.168.1.1 in

the address field. A login window like the one shown below opens:
