Installing the Hardware
Power
Power is supplied to the radio via
the supplied USB power cord
plugged into a compliant USB-host
port. An optional DC adapter can
be purchased from OTC Wireless,
Inc.
Ethernet Connection
The ACR-201-G is to be connected
to any device’s Ethernet port via
the included white straight-through
UTP cable. Please note that, as
dictated by the 802.11 standards,
only one MAC address can be
supported by a Station radio,
unless IP Bridging feature is
enabled (see Chapter 3 for details),
then multiple devices can use the
ACR-201-G for access via a hub or
a switch, where the blue crossover UTP cable needs to be used.

Connect the 100-BaseT port (which resembles an over-sized telephone jack) on
the bottom panel of the ACR-201-G to the 100-BaseT port of the computer (or
network device, such as a hub or switch). Power on the ACR-201-G, the LED’s
on the front panel should exhibit the following patterns:
