mounting or connecting the Access Point:

3. Attaching the Antenna

Carefully unpack the standard detachable antenna that came included with your Access Point.

Screw the antenna on to the antenna connector on the Access Point and hand-tighten it. After

network startup, you may need to adjust the antenna to fine-tune coverage in your area.

For best results, adjust the antenna so that it is perpendicular to the floor and ceiling.

Installation Item Description

Hub or Switch To connect your wireless network to your wired network you will need an

additional hub or switch connected to the Access Point’s Ethernet port.

Cabling Make sure that standard Ethernet cable is installed at the site before you

install the Access Point.

Power

Requirements

Power can only be supplied using 3Com Power Adaptor which is included

with the Access Point.

Access Point is installed in a hard-to-reach location.

The MAC address is printed on the back of the Access Point.

CAUTION: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected to the

Access Point. This could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which could damage the

equipment.

4. Mounting the Access Point

The Access Point can be mounted using the following methods:

•Wall mounting

•Tabletop mounting (horizontally, or vertically using the supplied cradle)

Wall Mounting

To mount the Access Point to a wall:
