Note:
For best Wireless reception and performance, the BLW-54PM should be positioned in
a central location with minimum obstructions between the BLW-54PM and the PCs.
Also, if using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use different Channels.
2.2.2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the BLW-54PM.
Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable.
Any LAN port on the BLW-54PM will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when
required.
2.2.3. Connect WAN Cable
Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the BLW-54PM. Use the cable
supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.
2.2.4. Power Up
•
Power on the Cable or DSL modem.
•
Connect the supplied power adapter to the BLW-54PM and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.
2.2.5. Check the LEDs
