2. Installation

This chapter describes the installation procedure for the ASUS 802.11g AP

and includes a description of the LEDs found on the unit.

Installation Procedure

Follow these steps to install the ASUS 802.11g WLAN AP.

1. Determine the best location for the ASUS 802.11g WLAN AP. Keep in

mind the following considerations:

• The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to

the network must not exceed 100 meters.

• For standard placement, try to place the Access Point on a flat, sturdy

surface as far from the ground as possible, such as on top of a desk

or bookcase, keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from

direct sunlight.

• For external antenna mounting, install the external antennas so that

they are clear of obstructions; refer to the documentation that came

with the antennas for mounting and installation instructions.

• Try to centrally locate the Access Point or its antennas so that it will

provide coverage to all of the wireless mobile devices in the area.

• Use only the power supply that came with this unit. Other power

supplies may fit but the voltage and power may not be compatible.

Note: It is the responsibility of the installer and users of the ASUS

802.11g AP to guarantee that the antenna is operated at least 20

centimeters from any person. This is necessary to insure that the

product is operated in accordance with the RF Guidelines for Hu-

man Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal Communi-

cations Commission.

2. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Wall mounting is also

possible for the Access Point. Refer to the section entitled “Wall

Mounting Option” on the next page for details.

3. Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Access Point and

attach the other end to the RJ-45 10Base-T port of a network hub, switch,

router, or patch panel (possibly on a wall).
