Installing the Access Point
Summary of Installation Tasks
Installing the Access Point
■ When using either the AC power adapter or PoE power, do not install the
access point in an environment where the operating ambient temperature
might exceed 40°C (104°F).
■ Make sure the air flow around the sides of the access point is not
restricted.
Summary of Installation Tasks
Follow these easy steps to install your access point. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Preconfigure the access point (page 2-4
). The access point ships with
a default IP address of 192.168.0.11 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If
this IP address is already assigned to another device on the network or if
the IP address settings are not compatible with your network, you will
need to configure its IP address before installation.
2. Prepare the installation site (page 2-8
). Make sure that the physical
environment into which you will be installing the access point is properly
prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the access point and having an appropriate location for the access
point. Refer to page 2-4 for some installation precautions.
3. Verify that the access point completes its system initialization
(page 2-10
). This is a simple process of plugging the access point into a
power source, or connecting it to a switch that provides Power over
Ethernet (PoE), and observing that the LEDs on the access point’s front
panel indicate correct access point operation.
4. Position the access point (page 2-11
). The access point can be installed
on a flat surface, such as a desktop, or mounted on a wall (mounting
screws and bracket are not included in the access point package).
5. Connect the power to the access point (page 2-12
). Once the access
point is mounted, plug it into a nearby main power source using the
supplied AC adapter, or connect it to a switch that provides Power over
Ethernet.
6. Connect to the network (page 2-13
). Using the appropriate network
cable, connect the access point to a network connection point, such as a
switch. The network connection can also be used to provide power to the
access point through its PoE feature.
