Connect the Access Point to a Source of AC Power • • Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Plug the power adapter cable into the power socket on the bottom of the access point. LED Indicators Once the access point is connected to a wired network and is powered on, check the LED indicators to verify that the unit is functioning correctly. If the access point fails to initialize, restart it by disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
Configuring the Access Point for the First Time 1. Set up a portable or desktop computer as a configuration workstation from which to view the access point browser-based Configuration Management System and configure the access point: 2. Connect the configuration workstation to the access point over a wired LAN, either directly (using a crossover RJ-45 cable) or through a hub or switch (using a standard RJ45 cable).
• • For Netscape, from the menu bar select Edit, Properties, Advanced, Cache, the select Document in cache is compared to document on network: Every time. For Internet Explorer, from the menu bar select View, Internet Options, Temporary Internet files, Settings, then select Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every visit to the page. If this property or option is not turned off, the browser returns the previous view of the page without the changes.
2. Change the DHCP setting from Disabled to Enabled on the Express Setup page (or the Configuration page). Save the new settings by clicking Apply, then click Restart AP. After the restart, connect the access point to the network to which it will be permanently connected. 3. The next time the access point is restarted after DHCP has been enabled, it will attempt to get its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from the DHCP server.
Restore Factory Defaults The access point has a Reset button that can be used to perform a hardware reset or to restore the access point's factory default settings. The Reset button is located in a pinhole on the bottom of the access point. Insert the end of an unbent paper clip into the hole and apply pressure as follows: • • Press and release the Reset button quickly to perform a hardware reset of the access point. Press and hold the Reset button until the "Ready" LED flashes quickly 3 times.
