2-10 Installation and Configuration
v1.0, February 2009
Deploying the Access Point
Now that you have completed the setup steps, you can deploy the WNAP210 in your network. If
needed, you can now reconfigure the computer you used in step 1 in “Configuring the Access
Point” on page 2-3 back to its original TCP/IP settings.
To deploy the Access Point:
1. Disconnect
the WNAP210 and position it where it will be deployed. The best location is
elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of your wireless
coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your Access Point to a LAN port on your router, switch, or
hub. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter into a
power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN LEDs and should light up
Tip: Before mounting the WNAP210 in a high location, first set up and test the
WNAP210 to verify wireless network connectivity.
Installing the Wall Mount Kit (Optional)
Before you begin installation, check to make sure that the four screws selected to secure the
brackets fit flush within the molding of the bracket. An illustration of the installation steps is
shown in Figure 2-5 on page 2-11.
To install the wireless access point mounting brackets:
1. Place the
bottom bracket on the wall where you want to install the WNAP210. Securely screw
the bottom bracket into the wall, making sure the screws are flush with the bracket (Step 1).
2. Snap the
WNAP210 into place on the bottom bracket (Step 2). The tabs on the bottom of the
bracket will snap into the slots on the bottom of the WNAP210.
3. Firmly se
cure the top bracket onto the WNAP210 and attach the bracket with two additional
screws (Step 3). Ensure that the bracket flange engages with the top lip of the WNAP210
before screwing in the bracket.
Should you need to remove the WNAP210, unscrew the top bracket, and then unsnap the
WNAP210
from the bottom bracket. Never try to remove your wireless access point before
removing the top bracket.
