Making Network Connections
You can install the APM on as many computers in your network as you want,
either wired or wireless. The choice for a wireless or wired computer depends on
your preferences and your network configuration.
Connecting to a Wired Client
The RJ-45 Ethernet connector jack on the Access Point is used to connect to a
network switch that is connected to your wired client. Connect one end of an RJ-
45 Ethernet network cable to the jack on the Access Point and connect the other
end of the cable to a jack on the network switch that is connected to the wired
client.
Connecting to a Wireless Client
You can run APM (Access Point Manager) from a wireless client if you configure
the wireless client properly.
1. In the Wireless LAN Configuration Utility dialog box, click the
Configuration tab.
2. In the Mode list, click Infrastructure.
3. In the SSID list, enter the SSID used by Access Point.
4. Click Apply Changes, and then click OK.
An alternate connection method
is to use a null-modem RJ-45
Ethernet network cable that has
the transmit and receive
connections reversed on one end
of the cable. This cable can be
used to connect the Access Point
directly to the computer NIC.
You can also enter “any” in the
SSID box, or leave it blank.
