Installing the Access Point 420
Installation Procedures
Installing the
Access Point 420
Horizontal Surface Mounting
Place the access point on a table or other horizontal surface. The access point
accessory kit provides rubber feet that can be used to help keep the access
point from sliding on the surface.
Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the access point
within the embossed lines. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You
may want to secure the networking cable and access point’s power cord to
the table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent tripping over
the cords.
Caution Make sure the air flow is not restricted around the sides of the access point.
4. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source
1. Plug the included power adapter into the access point’s power connector
and into a nearby AC power source.
Or, alternatively, connect the Ethernet port on the access point to a switch
or other network device that provides Power over Ethernet.
2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-6.
