Ethernet switching and printer sharing are available only on the wireless broadband switch
router.
2. First-Time Installation and Configuration
2.1. Inserting the Accompanying PCMCIA WLAN
Card
For some models, the wireless interface of a WIASA is a WLAN PCMCIA card inserted into the
PCMCIA socket labeled
Wireless LAN Card
. Since a WIASA and its accompanying WLAN
PCMCIA card are placed separately within a package, you have to insert the PCMCIA card to the
socket of the WIASA after they are taken out of the package. And then, plug the connector of the
power adapter to the power jack of the WIASA to power it on.
NOTE:
Unless a WIASA is to be packed and moved to a distant place, don’t pluck out the PCMCIA
card from the socket.
2.2. Selecting a Power Supply Method
Optionally, the wireless broadband router can be powered by the supplied power adapter or PoE
(Power over Ethernet). The wireless broadband router automatically selects the suitable one depend-
ing on your decision.
To power the wireless broadband (switch) router by the supplied power adapter:
1.
Plug the power adapter to an AC socket.
2. Plug the connector of the power adapter to the power jack of the wireless broadband (switch)
router.
NOTE:
This product is intended to be power-supplied by a Listed Power Unit, marked “Class 2” or
“LPS” and output rated “5V DC, 1 A minimum” or equivalent statement.
To power the wireless broadband router by PoE:
