Preparing the AP/Bridge for Operation
Installation
Preparing the AP/Bridge for Operation
To prepare the AP/Bridge for use:
Step 1. Thread the two supplied antennas finger tight into their connections (do not over
tighten).
Step 2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet that matches voltage range labeled on the
power supply shipped with your AP/Bridge, and insert the power supply terminal into
its connector on the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
Step 3. Configure the AP/Bridge, using either the built-in Web interface or the command line
interface. Refer to "Initial Configuration Using the Built-In Web Pages" on page
35 or "Configuration Using The Command Line Interface" on page 95.
Step 4. Connect a LAN cable from the Ethernet port to your wired network.
Caution
Unless the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge is going to be configured using a wireless connection, never use
a powered Ethernet connection to power the AP/Bridge during the initial configuration.
Connecting a PC, hub, or other device to the powered Ethernet line may permanently damage
it if it was not designed for this type of operation!
