Mounting the ProSafe Wireless Access Point Using the
Wall
Mount Kit (Optional)
Tip:
Before mounting the access point in a high location, first set up and test
the access point to verify wireless network connectivity.
To install the mounting bracket:
1.
Disconnect the access point and position it where it will be deployed. The best location
is elevated, such as on a wall or ceiling or the top of a cubicle, at the center of your
wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices (see
Figure 7.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your access point to a LAN port on your router, switch, or
hub. If power is not provided by PoE, connect the power adapter to the wireless access
point and plug the power adapter into a power outlet. The Power, LAN, and Wireless LAN
LEDs should light up.
Configuring and Testing Your PCs for Wireless Connectivity
Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you
configured in the
Wireless Settings
for the access point. Check that they have a wireless
link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the access point.
