							1.3.4 Hardware Connection 
Note: Before you starting hardware connection, you are advised to find an appropriate 
location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for the Access Point is at the 
center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all your wireless stations. Also, 
remember to adjust the antenna; usually the higher the antenna is placed; the better will be 
the performance. 
 
1. Connect to your local area network: connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet 
port (LAN1 or LAN2) of this Wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch, 
router, or another wireless access point. 
2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the Wireless Access 
Point’s power port and the other end to a wall outlet.  
						

							．Check the LED: 
The Power and LAN # LED should be ON. LAN# LED will even blink if there is traffic. 
The Link/Act LED will be on in static when associated with a station and blink whenever this 
AP receives data packets in the air. 
If the Status LED glows after self-test, it means the Wireless Access Point fails on self test. 
Please ask your dealer for technical support. 
1  Please make sure your computer IP is in the same subnet as the AP (i.e. 
192.168.100.x). 
2  Please make sure your computer has wireless network adapter installed. 
3  Open the web browser and enter http://192.168.100.252/.
