2 INSTALLING THE ACCESS POINT
This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national building
codes, regulatory restrictions, and FCC rules. For the safety of people and
equipment, this product must be installed by a professional technician/installer.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The following items are required for installation:
Access Point 8760.
Two standard detachable antennas.
3Com installation CD.
Wall-mount installation hardware (supplied): mounting plate,
mounting
screws, and plastic anchors for drywall mounting.
If you do not have IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet LAN equipment, use the
3Com Integrated Power-over-Ethernet power supply that comes with
the
access point.
If your LAN equipment complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet
standard, you can connect directly to the equipment, and the 3Com power
supply is not needed.
Standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet cable.
The cable must be long enough to reach the power supply or the
power-over-Ethernet LAN port.
If you use the 3Com power supply, you need an additional Ethernet cable to
connect the access point to the LAN.
CAUTION: Before installing, see the important warnings and cautions in “Safety
Information” on page 2-2.
