HotPoint Wireless Access Point 5
Indoor Unit - Unpacking and Installation
Unpacking and setup are straightforward. The HotPoint 4500 requires AC
power, but can be mounted almost anywhere indoors. Brackets are avail-
able to facilitate wall or ceiling mounting. You will need a cat-5 cable to
connect the AP to its companion Firetide mesh node. This cable can be any
length permissible for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.
Your AP includes a power supply and three different AC line cords, as shown
in Figure 1. Use the one appropriate for your region.

Mount your HotPoint in a location that will give the best wireless coverage
of AP clients. The access point does NOT have to be close to its companion
HotPort node; in fact, it is better to mount each unit in a location that is
optimum for the RF needs of that unit.
After the units are installed, connect the access point to its companion
HotPort node with a cat-5 cable. Then apply power to the access point.
